Here I review the Hover X1 pocket-sized self-flying camera by Zero Zero Robotics. This is a fully autonomous flying camera drone that is my favourite product of 2023 so far.
You can get one here: gethover.com/
This is not a sponsored review, but I was able to convince Zero Zero Robotics to send me a review unit so that I could make this video.

The "trying to crash it into a tree sequence" is golden!!
THIS ist the most BEST Review of the HOVER X1 i have ever seen 😲
Aw thanks!
Thanks so much for the kind comments and really really creative and great use of the X1. Loved seeing you put it through its paces with the Follow mode. Hover X1 does *not* have visual obstacle avoidance, but its super tight tracking algorithms give it the appearance of it as you saw in your testing. However, it's still prudent to be aware of nearby obstacles! We'll pass your feedback along to the team! Looking forward to seeing what else you can do with it :)
I would love to give it a try, sent an email. Hope to give it a review.
Thanks for clarifying this for me. The tracking is so good I thought it must have obstacle avoidance, but it's just really good tracking afterall.
My X1 arrived today. It was nicely package, and easy to use. I am impressed.
Are they available in Spain? I'd happily review one ifo so. They love their drones here 🙂
Where can I buy one?
This gentleman knows his filmography. The shots. Breathtaking moments. Detailed explanations. Pros and cons (in the form of wishes, and only a couple at that it seemed). He’s right. This is more of a “flying camera” than a drone. But technically it IS a drone. I have a physical controller that I bought which links up with it! I haven’t tested it yet because of all of the rains in typically dry Southern California. Thanks for the review and comments. I’m enjoying getting used to mine, and after only three flights indoors and three outdoors, I can certainly see why in 100 flights, our video creator in this video says he hasn’t crashed in 100 flights. I don’t even see how it would be possible to crash, although I did see someone on UA-cam program an orbit with a radius that was far to wide (it “crashed” into a bush and made a gentle landing on grass beneath it).
Thank you very much for that comment. I am very interested in learning more about your physical controller.
Man, you really nailed the pitch. I wouldn’t be surprised if every person who watches this vid, buys an x10. Great voice, great video.
Bruh, you did an AMAZING job reviewing this drone. You're so concise, so considerate, so cinematic with your presentation. Thank you... and you have a sub.
Thanks for such a kind comment!
what does BRUH mean?
@@markamd1it is slang for bro(ther) / dude - in a positively shocked way
@@gannebamm2 ohhh I got you now, lol sorry mate and thank you. Good old English slang
Your video review of this unit was "next level." It's obvious how much more time, energy & creativity you poured into your take (compared to others I've watched). Thank you!
Thank you so much. Bringing so much joy in droning and filming ...:-)
Honestly, the sped-up scene of you playing "tag" with the drone gave me a laugh
Really great video. The ‘trying to make it crash’ bit was hilarious. Thx for the high production value content
Very well done, this is THE best review of the HoverAir X1 I've seen on UA-cam :)
Thanks! 😃
I can't decide whether I am more impressed by the camera, or by your review, which is about as high-grade a piece of videography and presentation that I have ever seen on UA-cam. And it's certainly by far the best review of the X1 - your opening sequence is masterful, and really shows what can be done with this device in the right hands. For a number of reasons I had decided that I would not give into temptation and order one - partly because I'm in transit to a new house and need to be sensible with my expenditure at this point, but also because I am not convinced that anyone will be particularly interested in seeing me in a lot of shots, which is the particular strength of the X1. As you demonstrate very well, it can also be used as a normal drone but that's a bit like buying a Pocket 2 and using it in FPV mode. Well, I shall continue to ponder this, but in terms of the most sexy piece of gadgetry to have been released in recent years, the X1 certainly takes the prize. And now I will go and take a cold shower fully clothed as I can smell smoke rising from the wallet in my pocket!
[Edited to note that since the Indigogo campaign closed, it no longer ships here to Australia. Well, that solves my problem!]
I agree. Just subscribed. Great presentation, soothing voice
I've got a HoverAir X1 myself and love it. Just wanted to say that I really admire your post-edit skills. Damn fine video !!
How’s the video quality??
Man, so well done!
Your video came randomly up in my feed. I usually do not leave comments, especially for something I didn't specifically look for.
But here, I'm so impressed by the style of your review that I just had to express my respect by leaving a comment.
The footage, the sounds and music, it fits so well together... but the best of it all is the way you narrate it, your calm and kind voice is just perfect. It really ties everything together.
Again, I didn't look for any drone related information, yet I ended up enjoying your work. You certainly sold this drone to me... a big WELL DONE.
Greetings from Australia
Thanks! Your X1 video turned me from a skeptic to a super fan. It was very informative and I loved your edits.
Aw thanks so so much for that!
Value for money! Great. I'm excited about this product and its future iteration.
Me too
hey man, I work as radio and tv host for living. Your way to use your voice and to produce the video is impressive. Thanks God still exist creativity. You have another sub ^_^
Awesome intro mate. Best I've ever seen 👏💙. Just received my Hover X1 today and looking forward to trying it out.
best review on this drone i have seen thank you for your work
That intro! Just loved the spot on soundtrack with your stellar images showcasing what this camera can do …
I have been looking for this man. Thanks for the video
Fabulous Roo. Mine is sitting here on the desk and I'm ready to take it out flying. I was impressed by the videos on the sales promotion, but your's is polished. Thank you. Pete
Thanks Pete!
Great review.. i really hope your channel gets to 100,000 you the one guy i enjoy who has not sold out
How To Guy, I've been subbed to you for years, since we were both even smaller channels than we are now. I've always liked your Pocket videos and humour. I always thought, if I ever succeed at this UA-cam nonsense some day (unlikely) I would hope to see you up there too. I am hoping your transition into landscaping content goes well, my friend.
@@Roos-Reviews thats very Kind, I dunno.. Im thinking about starting something else away from Camera, I dont think there is enough traffic there.. but the Garden stuff is also going well, so not sure if I should even bother, but really enjoyed your video :) Keep up the great work
Third review I watch of the HoverAir X1 and yours is the best by far. Very useful and informative =)
Thanks a lot!
good creative design👌👍👏👏👏
new generation of drone ,small,safety,light weight...awesome👍😁😎🇹🇭
Just to let you know, I got it and I must say... this thing is amazing to record with. Your video is actually the best video I've seen for reviewing it and how I discovered it.
One of the best reviews on this drone! Thanks! This is the drone. I’ve been waiting for! Something that I don’t need a remote for, that is small, and I could just take out use to get some shots and put back in my pocket and keep going. I believe this company or another company came out with this similar design a few years ago but the video footage was horrible. Now it’s great! Can’t wait to get one
Nice editing and sound track, of course the review was great too. Looking forward to seeing your future work.
The best video review ever… you are my hero and I just discovered your channel.
Oh yeah an electric unicycle, subscribed !
Brilliant review - answered all my questions (wind and water) and one i hadnt thought of - over top of a cliff ! That could potentially have been an expensive mistake if i do get one. Many thanks
LOVE YOUR TUTORIAL REVIEW OF THE X1 DRONE. The part where you tried to make it crash into a tree was great. I was surprised that you did not say "YOU CAN EVEN PLAY HIDE-AND-SEEK WITH THIS DRONE. Seriously, GREAT REVIEW.
THANK YOU.
Good as it is, I do think it was amazingly lucky not to hit a tree branch or something. Also important to note that it can't do banked turns, so if you turn too sharply at speed it will do a much wider turn and that risks hitting an obstacle such as a wall or tree. But if you learn its idiosyncrasies and work within its (few) limitations, it really is as enjoyable to use as this review suggests. I've had mine for nearly 12 months now and I've only crashed once - luckily not so badly as to cause any damage. But once damaged beware that getting parts or fixes are nigh impossible - if you can get insurance (eg Amazon offers it when you purchase) this would be a very good option because then you can just replace it and use the damaged one for parts if you ever need them.
The biggest problem is the video shooting environment has almost no people. Its like a single object track in a vast open area. Wonders how it will perform with more dense location with people and bicycle or cars moving pass you.
Did you watch my video for the parts where I'm close to cars and people? Keep in mind that to fly a drone over a crowd is illegal in my country and others.
very nice review .. i love your calm narrator voice
@Roos-Reviews maybe you should point that out in your video, alternative to a drone,that would be very helpful....IJS.
Point what out? I'm not familiar with the term IJS.
Stop living in fear and fly where you want. Someone’s eye is more likely to be hit with a paper plane then this drone crashing
Super interesting piece of tech, and really nice review!
Amazing tech and review! Thank you! By far the highest quality review on this HoverAir X1... best footage, music, and straight to the highlights without all the fluff.
Thank you very much!
What a beautiful video dude! The music, your peaceful voice, the images themselves, the edit of the whole video... It was very pleasant for me to watch it! And I learned a lot from it. Thanks for your work!
I’m shocked at reading the statement that it doesn’t have obstacle avoidance and watching you weave in an out of things such a great video thank you!
Outstanding(!) test/review, well presented. Thanks so much.
Such a good review, I've only gone ahead and bought one! :)
Oh cool, something to look forward to!
By far the best review. Thank you!!
I've stumbled across your channel looking for X1 reviews, and wow - your video production quality and content selection and editing is outstanding! You've gained a subscriber just from this one video it is so well done. Excellent work!
Subscribed based on your calm, peaceful delivery. Great review too.
Thanks and welcome
Incredibly well-done video, review, and demonstration!
What an amazing bit of kit, looks awesome and your video+voice over was very professional, well done 👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤❤EPIC intro, and overall review. Best I have seen for this product. Amazing work. Have been considering to buy this for some time. You just made up my mind…
Thanks! It's really cool. I take it everywhere.
@@Roos-Reviews 👍 unfortunately they aren’t shipping to Australia
Yeah I think initially they are only shipping to a handful of countries, but I imagine they will roll it out more internationally as production increases. Just speculation on my part though. It's not long out of its GoFundMe stage.
Wonderful review mate!
What an impressive review. Thank you.
Ive got my X1 on the way in the mail. Thanks for awesome shots, an inspiration what to try when I finally get the drone.
Excellent presentation! A joy to watch.
This is an awesome review! Thanks for the time and effort you put into this ❤
Be really useful when I’m travelling on my motorbike, looks a great piece of kit😀
I really appreciate the thorough review! 👍👌😀
Awesome vid man! Great job!
Thanks a lot.
Great detailed review !
Absolutely loved your review of the X1. I've just come across it a few weeks ago and I have to say that your review of it is by far the most thorough and definitely answers all questions I had about the HoverAir X1. In fact, you spoke of it exactly how I would if I had one.
Looking forward to getting one in the near future! Love it to the max.
Great review, keep em coming.
Thanks, will do!
Wow, what a wonderful bit of kit! This is no doubt the best and most organised tech review I have ever seen, and believe me, I have been watching tech reviews for more than a decade, and with a pleasant calming and relaxing voice to add to the viewing experience. You have a new subscriber. 😉
Thanks for that super nice comment!
Excellent Review
I hope they succeed
MK2 will be great. Slightly better Camera with controllable sharpening would be great
Great video! You've just sold me on one...
Great video man, best review. I’ve seen on this thing yet 🙌🏽
stellar shoot. nice work mr. sleepy time. wonderful details.
Brilliant production! A very exciting drone!
Such a great piece of Tech. Wow. Would love to review it myself one day❤
Thank you. This was the best review that I have seen on the X one and this is the review that is made up my mind whether to buy it or not. I’m glad it came up in my feed because when I searched for similar reviews, it didn’t appear.😢
Wow, great job on the post! This answered all my questions to make this an add on to my DJI drone operations! The small simplicity is needed more often than realized. What I’s like to see is if you’ve tried it indoors? I would so like to be able to check out some follow-me indoors as I often work in a warehouse sized environment. Going to see if there’s more on this after I look at the rest of your posts! Keep it up, thanks for the awesome footage, cinema, and review!
It works well indoors too. It does better when the floor has at least a little bit of texture or a pattern of some kind.
What a great edit 👌🏻 also I love the narration and ur voice
Great production and editing on this video👏
wow best review i've ever watched the time he put into this had to have been insane, well done dude.
Outstanding review, really fun to watch and informative. Decided to subscribe just as a way to say thanks
And oh yes, gonna buy 2 of these toys!
Very nice review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review. Top level content. I'm thinking about purchasing one of these. Thank you.
😁👍video espetacular e super esclarecedor. Obrigado
Curioso por ver a evolução deste produto. TOP❤
This review was very cinematic, good job!
So cute. Seems easy to use and the connection with your phone is very considerate. Technology really is amazing. I'm impressed!
Love the way you gave the review, your commentary is smooth flowing, it’s like taking your viewers on a slow & relaxing tour from the start to the finish, your footage shots are cinematic, your video of this simple drone product is even better than those of high end ones i watched so far, i’ve to give a big like to your video, subscribed to your awesome channel for more to come!
Thank you so much for sharing, keep them coming cheers😉👍👏😍😎🤩🙏
I appreciate that! Thanks a lot.
A great review and I hope the arm heals quickly. And a BIG thumbs up.
It's getting better, thanks very much!
@@Roos-Reviews I just checked their web site and they don't ship to Australia at present. Hopefully that will change.
Once again you bring a beautifully presented, informative and buy me now video to my screen. You continue to add an extra layer of satisfaction with superb music sound tracks written and produced by you. Fantastic and glad I subscribe.
Wonderful comment, thank you for that encouragement.
Fantastic review! Intriguing product, too. I’m attracted to the appliance-like simplicity, but conflicted over the limitations that come with. C’est la vie.
Thank you very much for a Fantastic review.
No problem!
what a nice review of a product.... Thank you
Thanks for watching!
such a great review. Thank you! I think I need to subscribe to your channel.
Just got mine can't wait to try it out. Great video thanks for the info.
Glad to help
Excellent filming & you have a great voice for You Tube videos. 👍
Great Video Review, what a fantastic piece of kit, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
really good review. Your b-roll sequence at the beginning is just EPIC
Thanks very much
@@Roos-Reviews What post-production program are you using?
What a fantastic, cinematic review! I watched several video reviews attached to the Hover Amazon page, but this was on another level! I especially enjoyed the orbit effect with different locations between :40-:50 and 1:27-1:37. Very cool!
Thanks very much!
Can’t wait for this to be available in New Zealand. I’m a grandma who loves tech and I can see me using this wee drone on lots of my adventures. Thank you for your awesome review.
You could get some amazing footage in such a stunning country as new Zealand.
Brilliant review I’m certainly gonna get one now.
I absolutely need to give it a go on my bike rides! Thanks a lot for review
Yeah it's great for cycling!
Another great review, Roo!
Thanks Scotty!
what an amazing review! well done.. subbed.. and yes.. really keen to see what the company does next.. things can only get better.. right?
i have to be honest here. i really enjoyed your video and the info you provided. well done and i just subbed. keep up the good work. i also own one of them X1 and im just as amazed. love it
Excellent video and what a machine.
Nice review, loving mine
Brilliant review my friend thank you f
The best presentation of the Hover Air X1 I've seen on here. Great Job bro!!
Just fantastic ❤❤❤
Your review just made me buy the Hover X1. Thank you
Could you please tell me the name of the song you use at the beginning? Fantastic music. Perfect lyrics for this video too. :)
Your review is fantastically thorough and great to watch. The intro narrative is a simple informative “hook”. The whole review is very well edited together, transitioned, and has very informative narration. Great job putting the drone through it’s paces. I really love the intro part with your song. The singer has a very nice voice. I kept replaying the intro just to listen to the song. Brought to mind Wendy singing to Peter Pan.
Thanks for your super kind and well written comment.
@@Roos-Reviews I also agree about the quality of this review. Also subbed; this channel will have half a million in short order if you keep this up.
