I just purchased this drone, and I like it! But there are pros and cons. On the positive side, it does most of what it says it does; on the negative side, there is only a 10 or 12-minute battery life, even though it comes with two batteries, and it takes up to 4 hours to charge 1 battery. I see the advertising showing people getting followed on their bikes; I guess the bike ride is less than 10 minutes long. There is minimal instruction on how to use it; also, when sharing the video or picture, it's not as clear as the original. I had to research UA-cam to find out how to work things; with that being said, I give it a 7.5 out of 10 rating.
Hi. Thame sharing part is my number 1 concern especially that I mainly take videos for social media so that means VERTICAL VIDEOS. Is it true the quality if vertical videos taken by hover x1 is of lower quality?
Actually wants to buy this , but none 4K camera hold me back abit You know Drone is all about camera , till I found out, there is two models coming with 4K an 8K cameras in next month or two.. Pro and ProMax... Definitely I'm going to jump on the Promax model to get for sure No doubt👍✨
I’ve not actually tried I tend to just plug it into my power bank takes around 35 minutes to charge which is perfect for me as I have two batteries, so while one is charging in my bag I am using the drone with my second battery,
Really enjoyed this one. Great example of the “reveal” shot bringing the lake into view. And better yet, incorporating each of the examples into one video telling the story of a man and his bike, complete with powerful and thrilling music playing as background for the video. Everyone, take note: this is how its done. Thank you Sir!
Amazing review with lots of details on how to use the drone. I am thinking if this one is good enough for me 😀 as a now and then user ? Is it worth looking for this one on eBay do you think ?
EST practical review I’ve seen from the pov of the sort of person who’d buy one. Excellent and thanks I did end up buying one as a fast antidote to endless intrusion messing about with dji controllers etc. I love the dji for a number of reasons but not for day out blogging. Held off for a while on one of these but what you demonstrated is pretty much bang on what I wanted to solve so thanks mate
Best review I have seen of this. Very cool ! Unfortunately where I live, ride, etc is very forested, not wide open. I think this old crash into obstacles constantly. If it also had obstacle avoidance it would be a much better product.
Really useful video, thanks. Can you set in Hover mode and then get it come to you afterwards. I'm thinking of a shot were you ride past. Be nice not to have to go back for it.
The first Hover Air X1 reviewer to NOT keep watching the drone, showing faith in the technology and allowing the Hover Air X1 to do its thing. Well done, from Australia, where we are still waiting to get our hands on this fun device!
I hope you don't have to wait too long for this little guy. It's really amazing. DJI should be shaking in their boots! It's such an amazing little piece of tech.
Is there a way to adjust the camera angle in the app? As a skateboarder I would like the camera to not clip my feet and skateboard out of frame while filming. Thanks for the review!

10 mins is actually not bad for a drone..

Can you use the 30 Watt Charger to accelerate Charging Time?

Really good video
Thank you 🙏🏻

Where does the footage files go and how do you access them ? Through the app ?
They are stored on the drone you can either download to your phone or connect to a computer
No Competition in This Weight Class?!
😢
Nothing like this.

Thanks, yeah ease of use is why I bought it.
Is very nice but I will wait for the Promax model to buy ,going to release in month or 2
I just ordered one, waiting on shipping
They are great! Have fun!
What a cute little drone. GREAT review by the way. I may just have to get me one. Thanks 4 sharing. Cheers!👀👍😎😎
Thank you.
Well done.
🙏🏻
How to capture horizontal video
With that static follow hover mode, do you know how far away from it you can get & it will still track you as long as you stay in frame?
I’ve don’t know the exact distance but in the video I do ride the bike at a fair distance and it has no issues following me.
What microphone are you using? Thanks for the aero vid!
I use the rode wireless go 1st gen, thanks
Best review I have seen of this. Very cool ! Unfortunately where I live, ride, etc is very forested, not wide open. I think this old crash into obstacles constantly. If it also had obstacle avoidance it would be a much better product.
Thanks Yeah I agree but I can see that coming in future versions.
Thank you. I didn't know about dolly track or manual mode yet. Mine goes up to 50 ft. Very helpful video.
Nice demonstration, that helped me made my decision in getting one myself.
me too 😀
Can you take pics also or only vids. Nice video
Thanks, yes you can take pictures
Nice !
Too bad there is no gesture to tell it to take a picture instead of a video like there was on the DJI Air 1 "smart gesture" mode.
easy equipment for a biker. thanks for the review my friend
Thank you.
Just purchased one ⚛️
They are great fun
Thanks so much seems pretty simple but i am dumb as unfortunately haha 😂😊❤
Really useful video, thanks. Can you set in Hover mode and then get it come to you afterwards. I'm thinking of a shot were you ride past. Be nice not to have to go back for it.
Just subscribed 👍.
Loved that video, gonna get myself one of those. Looks a cool little camera .👏👍
is it possible to walk while in orbit mode?
No it throws it off.
Hey Barry, do you have a link to the music track you used at the end of your video?
Thanks
Thanks for the support 🙏
With this camera, try to keep sun at the cameras back to best light up the subject…
Thanks! A very good and useful video. 👍
Thanks, very good example of manual mode to do a reveal shot of the lake.

Thanks! It’s great fun and the fact that it works perfectly straight out of the box is awesome.
I hope you don't have to wait too long for this little guy. It's really amazing. DJI should be shaking in their boots! It's such an amazing little piece of tech.
What software di you use to edit and how do you transfer data sd card?
I use Final Cut Pro to edit and I just connect the hover to the computer to download the footage.
@@BarryMountford can it shoot at night or just day
It mention using it in good light.
Great demo mate.
Thanks man.
Have you ever gotten corrupted video while downloading? If yes were you able to fix it
No never had that issue.

Is there a way to adjust the camera angle in the app? As a skateboarder I would like the camera to not clip my feet and skateboard out of frame while filming. Thanks for the review!
When in manual mode you can adjust the angle
@@BarryMountford While the drone autonomously films you?
@@liqwidbpm no only manually flying
Can you tell me what the connection you use to connect to your phone . Can I get it on Amazon
Hi iam just using the phone to fly the drone, I use the rode wireless go as the mic and the receiver connects to the phone, hope that helps.
I understand but there is a connection cable what is that?
The receiver to the phone uses a certain cable can you tell me the specs
@@adelanteplayaproductions yes here is the cable I used amzn.to/3RQcziR hope that helps
