    I use it too. It's a very nice drone, though if it were under $100, it would be a steal.

    • @MANSHED

      Yes, I could see why some would want it $100 cheaper. To me the value is all there though especially as a content creator because I would pay $100 an hour for a good cameraman.

    This companies’ new XR Pro Max version is gonna be awesome when it drops. 8K 30FPS! 4K 120 FPS. It also will have HDR on the 4K and 10 bit, professional color options. Gonna be a super dope way to catch video. It also is gonna have a much bigger sensor. And quotes a 16 minute flight time, which means should be able to get 9-12 minutes. The real question will be cost.

    Yep, love the HoverAir! Great for taking on hikes too. The orbit mode on top of a mountain is a great way to capture the moment with friends.
    Great review Michael and one thing he mentioned that I’ll further state: the portability and ease of use really is a game changer. I’ve had a couple other DJI drones and finally faced it: it’s too much hassle to deal with the drone and the separate controller in terms of transporting it (even DJI minis), setup etc. With the HoverAir, it literally fits in a pocket or takes up almost no space in the side pocket of a backpack and then can be deployed for a quick video in seconds. Almost as fast as taking a good photo/video with a smartphone but with the added features of solid stable filming.

    • @MANSHED
      @MANSHED  3 місяці тому

      Totally agree! I love it on hikes but especially when mountain biking. I’m excited to try their new HOVERAir Pro & ProMax for my mountain bike rides.

    Cool video !
    The X1 indeed makes a high pitched annoying noise, i hope they fix this with the ProMax.
    Two questions:
    1. Could crashes on trees affect the gimbal? It looks kind of exposed.
    2. How fast can you charge one battery fully ,if you connect a PD powerbank to the hover charging hub ?
    3. Does it detect well the hand gestures in low light or from a 5m distance ?

    • @MANSHED
      @MANSHED  3 місяці тому

      Haven't had any issues with the gimbal after crashes. 2. haven't tested that but I've felt they charge pretty quick. It does not perform very well in low light so I dpn't fly i much is darker times.

    Great review with lots of detail its a great little drone and worth getting . I have ordered the x1 pro max from Indigogo whuch was been tracked and out on delivery to me on the 4th of November and half way through the day the tracking stoped and remain so for the next 3 days so at this stage i knew that the drone had flown away 😢 i called UPS to explain that the tracking had stopped and they also was puzzled and have started an investigation on the matter. Hoverair have not been helpful at all as i am still waiting for a replacement ski pack and it's now the 24th November but at this stage i have ran out of
    patience now and just might tackel this little guy as i am just a now and then usse.

    The X1 Pro and X1 Pro Max are coming SOON... so, why would I get this one?

    • @MANSHED
      @MANSHED  3 місяці тому

      This will still be less expensive and it’s slightly smaller than the pro and pro max. It is also lighter and the firmware is solid. I got to be one of the first to test the new drones coming and they are awesome but more targeted towards the adventure seeker. So if that’s you then yes, wait for them.

    Hi there..I just got an X1 and its great, however I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but when its in Follow mode and I want to get it back it doesn’t return to me when I finish the flight. I tried using gestures which appear not to work, so I have to resort to manual mode to get it near me..any idea would be welcome, aside from that issue its a great flying camera😊

    • @MANSHED
      @MANSHED  3 місяці тому +1

      In follow mode, you have to walk to it and hold your palm out for it to land on. The gestures like the crossing of your arms is for the dolly track others that would cause the drone to move away from you when you approach it. I just always walk up to it and put my palm out in the follow mode.

      I won't get the Max or the Max Pro because of the battery life. The battery costs around 60. However, if the battery were better and the cost was cheaper, I would have preordered it in a heart beat.

      I haven't had a single person complain to me about the noise. MNost of the time I'm launching it so quick and getting my shots that people don't even have time to ask me anything. if they do, they just want to know how I pulled a drone out of my pocket and it followed me everywhere and where they can get one, too.

      @@MANSHED You don't have to be paid just use the video or have the video used in the furtherance of a business. Just it being on UA-cam does that.

      @@bobwhitewo3b I'm not "misleading" anyone. "just being on UA-cam" is not a violation of the FAA rules. There is no rule that says you can't take a video with your recreational drone and post it on UA-cam. It has to be for commercial use purpose. 99% of the people buying this drone will not buy it for commercial use cases in my opinion because it is more like a toy similar to an RC plane. This was simply me sharing my experience using this drone, and it was not meant as an educational video on the dos and don'ts of drone flying in the USA. :)
