What do you like about Hover air camera x1? #hover #hoverx1 #hoverairx1 #HOVERBikeDiaries #HOVERRunDiaries #PedalPowerwithHover #FlyHandsFree - Навчання та стиль
I love how you talk to this inanimate object like you would with a pet.
Come come 😂
🤣 ok… yeap it is fun 😂😂
Oh Zdenka you are irresistible! Watching you laugh and have fun with your little friend is the best thing I've seen in awhile!
That right there sells it. Afterall, these things are supposed to be fun to use, and you highlighted that so naturally. You're the best 😊
Thank you so much…. I laugh because it honestly is fun…, and you get your shots quick
Gestures are like the ground crew at the airport guiding a plane into the gate! ✈️
Right? Similar
I’m old, if I stand alone in a field, doing that, I’m concerned people will assume I’ve somehow escaped from the Home… again.
🤣 no… if you would try this, you would get carried away too. It is a great tool but also fun toy at the same time
Never worry about what others think of you is first rule in life to live your own life.
Adquiri recentemente um hover x1, estou muito feliz, utilizo para a BTT em montanha
Thank you Zdenka, yours is the only review out of 8 I have watched that had given an update about the gestures now available. The gestures make all the difference to me and I am going to buy one.
You are so welcome. Yes the gestures make a huge difference. I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy this little camera
NICE. Pumped for the update. I LOVE my Hover
Enjoy it… they are supposed to release the update today… so check later or tomorrow
Nicely demonstrated, thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Thank you Zdenka, this video is the one that best explains the “capabilities” of the Hover x1 and you review it very well. Greetings
I am glad you liked the video. You are very welcome
awesome information as usual! ❤your channel and ❤ my X1, it has been a wonderful addition to my camera arsenal for traveling.😊
Thank you very much for your support. I’m glad you’re liking the videos. I post here.
pleasing to see you have fun with this little wonder :) thanks for the vid on it.
You are very welcome
I absolutely love mine. Thanks for the update. It has made an enormous difference to my channel.
You are very welcome. I am happy that you are enjoying your Hover
That looks great, I can see many uses for my metal detecting and e bike reviews here in the UK.
A massive thanks from the skill school.
You are very welcome.. wishing you a great upcoming weekend
Im convinced now with more features i want one . Zdenka, thank you so much.
You are very welcome
Great vid, thanks.
You are very welcome
that's a cool tool to have. Nice vid Zdenka
Thank you… I am glad you liked it
This is awesome thank you
You are very welcome
Very good definition of the small drone, thank you friend for sharing.
You are very welcome
First time I have heard of this and it is so cool...and looks fun and easy to use. Thanks for such an instructive video!
You are so welcome! It is very easy to use.. and safe… much safer than actual drones
Hi Zdenka, When Talking about Filmora music It is done by AI music , according to Filmora cannot be copywrited so is available for commercial reason. Pete
I have 2 of them and LOVE them. I especially like flying indoors!
Yes, those little things are crazy…. Finally some little drone that is very easy to use and you don’t feel worried. It’s gonna fly away.
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
I love this , on my list to buy. Thanks informative video
You are very welcome
Awesome, thanks for sharing 🫶🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lo he probado y está genial, gracias por compartir
You are very welcome…. Enjoy your Hover
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your generous support
Awesome!👌
Great video also 😊
Thank you so much for your support. I’m glad you like the video.
Sehr schön anzusehen wieviel Spaß Du mit der MiniDrohne hattest.😊
It is a toy in a way… once you try it you’ll become a kid all cover again 🤣
Super video, velmi důkladné.
Děkuji mockrát
Excellent video 😊😊👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Vielen Dank für diesen Beitrag 👍🍀
You are very welcome
Just ordered one 🥰
Thank you for sharing. Enjoy.
Thank u thank u thank u❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wasnt sure to buy it or not until u explained everything ..u r amazing thank u ..from yemen ❤
My pleasure 😊
@@ZdenkaDarula hi how r u ?
I just bought hover x1 and i tried it.. but when i put my hand it doest come to me . I have to walk to put my hand under it to stop..
How can i let it come to my hand ???
Hi..
I cant open my studio in the app it says connect to wifi but when i connect it doesnt ..its says try again ..its been like that for three days now i cant use it..
excellent video
Thank you very much!
I love it here❤
Thank you for your support
You looked to be having great fun making that video 😄❤
I was…. It is always fun to pull it out.
Im excited to receive mine
Have fun with it
I have the original DJI Mavic Air. That also had the facility to fly it with gesture mode..with out using the controller or phone. It could also be controlled by the phone alone, without the controller.. it was really useful and I’m surprised that DJI didn’t keep gesture and phone control with the later Mavic and Mini drones. This HoverAir looks more useful in some ways as it’s so compact and easy to use…its price seems a bit high however..Thanks for the video..much enjoyed!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Yes it is a shame that DJI did not continue with those gesture modes, I agree.
Is prefect function❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Wow! This is quite something.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts… yes it is a great tool. It speeds up filming process
Lovely. Drone not bad either
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts
I like you smile at the end..😊😊😊
Thank you..
I have Mavic Pro when it 1st came out. That thing builds like a tank as all Dji drones, but never find it practical as just a hobbyist. So it mostly sits in the corner of my room, gathering dusts with occasional flying for family reunions or shoot photogrametry. Never like the setup process on any prosumer drones. This Hover X1 looks like a personal camera man, 10 minutes of flying is really long for what I would take for my social media. I like it, thinking heavily to get one. Thank you for your video insight
You are very welcome. I was exactly on the same boat. That’s why I sold DJI drone. It is very easy and practical this one.
Well sir , I have a phantom 4 , I have phantom 4 pro , a Mavic pro , and my new addition a Hover x 1 , and planing to take them to the jungles of Brasil .
Good content . I recently updated but it looks like I need to again. Thanks
It was supposed to be released today so try later or tomorrow
The update was available today ! Thanks
This little guy is SO fun! (I just put out my video on these features too)
It is fun, isn’t it? Enjoy
Love this. How old is the update and do you for see the Hover 2 that was advertised 5 years ago coming to market? There were amazing features on that one.
Unfortunately I have no idea…. But I would love to see a new version for sure
Thank you for the update. Which app did you use to edit your videos? your video with the hover x1 so clear if you can recommend one to me
It is not about the app…. But mostly camera and export settings. I edit in Adobe premiere pro
nice
Thank you
WoW❤
Thank you for your support
Love the new features! Is it possible to purchase replacement propellers?
Good question…. I am not sure if you can buy new propellers…. I have to check
What a lovely piece of tech.
Benefit is it's not like learning to drive which is what flying a drone is with it's steep learning curve. If grandma can do it, so can I. Some countries may expect a drone license for this. Thank for the review of this interesting and simple little gadget.
If grandma can do it 🤣🤣🤣 yeah I am not there yet. 🤣🤪 it is absolutely easy to fly. Anybody can do it. Have an awesome day!
@@ZdenkaDarula lol, you're still too young. Meant my grandma. She'd be in her 90s now and she'd definitely manage to work this gadget.
Good❤
Thank you for your support
Great video....I want to pioneer this drone for an action scene....hopefully, first person to do it! Will buy asap! It's cool and compact! I'll just buy more batteries!
Thank you very much for sharing. Once you get more batteries, you are set.
HoverAir can thank you for making a sale with me. Amazing little device. Price is still too high at this point even with an $80 coupon. $479 w/extra battery and charger.
I thought it might be a one-off thing at first but with the update, it makes much more sense and usability. Price has become more justified with new functions. Was going with Mini 3 Pro but so many drone issues and seriously possible outright ban, this is a viable best choice. Thank you for a really enjoyable review and excellent tutorial. You're the best. I'm going back to your other 2 HoverAir videos and do some catching up. Thanks!
You are very welcome. You are going to like it and yes it takes away that responsibility you get with bigger drones. This thing is very safe and you can fly it indoors as well.. just avoid flying it over water and snow
Cool little drone you have. I love drones too yet after finding out I needed a part 107 lic from the US gov in order to accept payment/gratuity I had to switch to other media devices myself. For close up shots that mimic the drone I invested in a Insta360 x3. Not as many Karens come out with a 9 ft selfie pole as I get with the drones. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
You are very welcome… i completely understand where you are coming from… the pole is the best
Glad I found your channel! Very informative videos, thank you very much! - I wonder: If the HoverX1 is not a drone, then what do we have to know about the legal situation? Do we have to register it? Do we need an insurance?
You have to check the laws in your country…. Here in Canada no registration or insurance needed for this one
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you for your response! Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing this video. I know it’s a selfie camera but can I use this with few people around me? Thanks!
You are very welcome… yes you can absolutely but just a note you will be always the one tracked
@@ZdenkaDarula thank u 🙏🏼. Keep sharing us a good stuff! 🙏🏼
So cool!! Let's hope they improve the optics/oversharpening in the next version. I just ask it gets to the quality where its "usable" 😅. I'm not asking for miracles! I do really like though that they seem committed toimproving and updating the device! That says a lot about the company. It's the least they could do, as they are selling this thing like hot cakes!!
Yes I am hoping for that too. I use color.io to soften the look and I use it on smartphone footage too
I bought one of these but ultimately returned it. The pros of it (beautifully presented by yourself) are great. It’s compact, its programming is solid and the video quality is ‘reasonable’. However, the cost compared to function isn’t warranted. It cannot handle more than a very light breeze, it’s terrifyingly noisy, the batteries drain fast and if 4K is your standard (it is for me) you will feel let down outside of ‘normal’ use, that is, selfie and close follows/dolly.
If it was half the price and the resolution not quite so important to me I would have kept it based on the merits described, but if anyone is looking to make use of something like this I would personally suggest a DJI Micro 3 as a starter. Secondhand they are not far off the price for the Hover with extra batteries (a must) and you will get far more bang for your buck.
Yes, and you are right with everything. I mentioned all that in my past videos. It is for a specific group of people and one of them is me because I always felt highly uncomfortable flying and normal GPS drone.
Great review. Thanks a lot! I have one question: can you make a sequence with the phone so you dont have to use gestures to change the mode the Drone is flying in? Like for example it flies 3minutes "Birds Eye" and switches after 1 minute to "Zoom in and Out" and afterwards goes back for 2 minutes to "Birds Eye" without me having to "tell" this to the drone by gestures, kind of pre-describe the modes and its lenghts in the App before? This would help me a lot because when you play music for example you cannot make gestures at the same time or I would have have a person to control the Modes for me. Thank you so much for a quick answer and keep up the nice reviews 🙂
Unfortunately it is not possible. Yes, you would have to have another person to do that …
Just saying thanks once again 😊
Mine should be arriving in the mail soon the post office said
I'm looking forward to everyone looking at me like a weirdo when I film with it on the Esplanade lol 😂❤
You are very welcome.. enjoy your new hover… you are going to be talking to a black to a pet just like me 🤣🤣🤣
@ZdenkaDarula haha so true love it 😂🤪❤️
Hi Zdenka,I have a few questions ,what are your thoughts on backpack/travelling and editing with the x1Hover and the insta 360 gGo3?,can you easily download all footage to your phone and edit without the need of a computer?, as I don't want to lug around the extra weight in my backpack. I know your an experienced camera travel junkie so would really appreciate some honest and sound advice please.What are I thoughts good/bad
Thanks.
I've loved all your videos always informative easy to follow and to the point .😊
I don’t think it should be an issue…. It is best to try it first though locally before you actually take it somewhere on the trip. Only you will know if that works for you or not… I would be ok with that setup
Have good potential but is very loud, Thanx for review.
You are very welcome… if you check other video I’ve made in it, it cancels the sound of propellers during recording as it records sound through smartphone
I always look forward to a Zdenka video. You have a reassuring presence and I feel you speak directly to me. Now, down to practical things: How fast will this thing go? Reason why is, I have 2 channels, one is for motorbikes and I was wondering if this would keep up at slow speeds. If not, it would still have many uses and also for my photography channel. Also, I'm guessing that as it's not a drone, you don't need a licence? ps It's Jestures, not Guestures if that helps
I think in this video I show how I ride e-bike with it. It can be quick but not sure about motorbike. ua-cam.com/video/nscv11rAB-Y/v-deo.htmlsi=t5FwIEHXZ4IfIo86 you don’t need to have license but still have your obey drone pass in your country. And thank you about gestures…. I know it but it is do naked in my brain that I simply don’t realize it… and then I say it the wrong way lol 😂
As always, your videos are very good.
My question today is if you think I can sit in my open car (Morgan) and have the Hower Air X1 flying around the car or have it fly on the side of the car.
I think you can have it fly around the car. I would be cautious though as it is not recommended to fly it over uneven surfaces such as table and the ground. I tried it and it fell….
Thank you for the answer
Hi Bo, I don't have one of these yet but I've watched several reviews. Not sure if it would orbit a moving car but as far as speed goes the maximum claimed top speed is 7m/s or 25km/h which is about 15-16 mph. PS. Morgans are one of my favourite cars. I wrote to the factory as a 13-year old almost 50 years ago to find out their prices.😊
Zdenka, do you know if I have to have an FAA pilot's license to fly the Hover Air for use in my videos? I’m not selling any of the footage. I understand wedding videographers must have FAA licenses.
I am not sure about USA laws but here in Canada no….. I would check with someone from USA who knows 100%
Thanks for the detailed walk-through. It's too bad there's no gesture to turn video recording on/off or to have it take a snapshot.
Yes it would be helpful
Love the flying selfie, but still don’t understand what is that black stick on your hand? Microphone? If it is, it’s awfully large one😁
It is insta360 camera with invisible selfie stick to record behind the scenes
Noisy
Yes it is quite loud
Hi Zdenka - you use side track is under which mode? thanks.
It will be under custom you have to open the app
Thanks for the detailed explanation. May I know the firmware version update for these new features? Mine is still using v7.5.0 and the apps is saying that it's the latest update. a bit confused
It was supposed to come out 14th. Several people said the same thing so I will send them an email and once I get response I’ll post it as comment and pin it… it should be out by now
Thanks Dzenka. Your channel have inspired me to develop and grow my new channel 🤗
I was hoping it would be quiet enough to do a standup, but I guess you'd hear the rotors if you tried to mic yourself. 😥Very versatile little drone. Thanks for the update!
If you check my other videos about the drone, if you record sound through smartphone it cancels the sound of propellers
♿️🇨🇦 if you can answer a question for me, it would help my purchased decision. I'm living with quadriplegia so I can't pick this thing up if it lands on the ground. I usually have a tray sitting on my lap, and I could place one of those orange drone landing pads on it. is there anyway I can get this x1 to take off from that tray and return to the same place?
This one, unfortunately lands only on hand.
Hello, I would like to ask you a question. If I put him in the function follow me and after a while I stop even for five minutes, does he continue to record or does he want to land by stopping the recording? I would like him to continue filming. Is it possible? Thank you very much. Giorgio from Italy😁
I think you can do that with gestures
Can you try with go pro adjustment? Does this drone handle the weight of Go pro?
Absolutely no.. you cannot attach anything to it
I just updated to firmware version 7.5 and app version 2.8 and don't have sidetrack available. The new gesture works in dolly mode....that's all that's new. What software revision are you on??
It is supposed to be all released today.. I would give it some time or try tomorrow if there are updates
Thanks for this great review and getting us all exicited@@ZdenkaDarula The new 7.5.1 revision arrived this morning. Koodos to the Hoverair team for all the great improvements!!
Are there any aviation restrictions or other restrictions imposed using these that your aware of? I’m fairly close to an airport.
It is still a drone so you need to obey the law in your country especially when it comes to airport
just wondering how can change the height of orbit because my one only default to flat level mode and I cannot change it to other height such as 3 meter above?
You have to login to the app and go through settings to change parameters
I'm having problems with the UPDATES and missing out on the newer control options. Attempting to update leads to a "LOST WIFI CONNECTION" message. Do you have suggestions to resolve this issue?
Unfortunately I am not sure why it could be…. Sorry
It would be seriously cool if you could film a short documentary in dewarp mode using the insta 360 ace pro showing possibilities of using it to film a documentary. I really hope you can.
Thank you for your request, I’ll keep it in mind
@@ZdenkaDarula Thanks :)
Hi Zdenka, do you need your handphone by your side during Hover operation ?
Not if you fly with default settings. If you want to change the settings then yes you have to connect it to the phone
I updated yesterday and only got the gesture feature for dolly track, no others. Also I did not get the new side track setting either. Just wondering if I did something wrong. ????
The features are being released today so give it some time of couple of days
@@ZdenkaDarula Update. The new features updated two days after your video. It works great. Thanks again for the instruction on the X1. I love it.
How do you deal with the battery running out after 5 mins?
I bought additional batteries
What if i lose its signal when i fly using manual controls? Will it automatically land?
It will kind of hover in the air until you get reconnected to the phone and then you can land it
After this HoverAir Dji mini's is in danger 😅
Thank you
I agree with you… they should be afraid
I just checked. No current update showing these features. We are currently in USA.
They are rolling it out today…. Some people already got it…. I would check next few days
Awesome ,thanks
@@ZdenkaDarula
When will this update be released?
Today
Where can I download side track and the hand gesture commands features.
It should come with newest firmware update within a day or two
Thank you. @@ZdenkaDarula
Does it capture audio or do you have to record it seaprate. no one talks about this in any review videos.
Yes I was showing that in my past video. It records clean audio through smartphone app without the noise of propellers
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you. Ill search for the video.
Pretty sure everyone on the planet is familiar with the Hover X1. People that didn't get one for review that is (maybe 20-25 people) Everyone else has gotten one for review, lol. I'm not one of them 😢
Love that they are still actively updating it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts…. One day you will get one too. I don’t get any of the DJ products either…. Yes, I’m glad that they are updating it and hoping that they will do further updates mainly when it comes to Camera and picture quality
Where do you sell your DJI drone?
Just online….
@@ZdenkaDarulacan you give a link? I'd like to sell mine as well and maybe get this flying machine :D
how much does it cost in the market?
I linked it in a description below the video so you can see it in your currency
If only it could fly over water to use while kayaking, it would be so perfect.
I know, right?
Ahoj Zdenka … 🙋🏾♂️
Ahoj 🙌 have a great day
@@ZdenkaDarula
Thank you …
Cz or Sk ?

@@ZdenkaDarula myslíš si žeby hoverair vedel natočiť aj svadobný tanec v mestskej sále s vysokými stropmi? Poprípade by sa zažalo svetlo pre lepšie svetelné podmienky. Ide mi o tu kvalitu videa a či by ma vedel trackovat pri tanci ako je viedenský valčík :)
I hope the "x2" has a better camera. Then I'll jump on it.
I am hoping as well… if and when they come out with it
I want it so bad for my traveling but the noise is concerning
It is loud no doubt… however if you need to record audio check out my other videos about it as I show there that once you record sound through phone, it will cancel the propeller sound
@@ZdenkaDarula have you tried the Hover Camera Passport?
It’s pretty loud, isn’t it?
It is a bit loud but nobody really said anything around me so far the last past months
So its a perfect stalk gadget with legal support 💀
It’s a great tool
It looks like a crash avoidance drone, but it’s not!!! 😅😅😅😂😂😂😊
Right? 🤣😂
@@ZdenkaDarula There’s another unsponsored video that shows many sessions with this crashing into something almost every opportunity it gets. I’m convinced follow mode could only be reliable with no trees or other objects around.
Shame there is no 25fps
Not yet… hopefully they will add it
:)
Thank you for your support
