Isn't it really easy to steal one? I mean if any random person holds their hand up it will land on theirs or does it have some sort of face recognition?
Missed a great feature!!-The audio recording mode is one of its best features…can record audio through your phone or external mic and noise cancels the drone noise…works surprisingly well
Too bad the noise cancelation can't cancel the "million angry mosquitos" sound... permanently. If ever there were a drone in need of a major propeller upgrade/re-tune, this would be that drone!
4:40 Seeing that the cover image was indeed a real (if slightly edited drone placement) screenshot from your video brought me great joy. 😆 Love the little borker! 🐕
I've looked at other reviews and my only gripe is the quality of the camera and video compression it uses looks to leave a lot to be desired. Other than that I imagine a few generations down the road it should be a great product.
Too bad the noise cancelation can't cancel the "million angry mosquitos" sound... permanently. If ever there were a drone in need of a major propeller upgrade/re-tune, this would be that drone. Maybe by next Christmas, version 2.0/3.0 will have solved this & a few other issues(?)
Most reviews I’ve seen were pretty positive, I own one and for what it does and the tech it comes with plus the easy access of using it I think it’s definitely a fair price. Unless you’re a pro videographer than do you really need a $1000 or more DJI 4k drone? (I got it on Black Friday so about $350)
The drone is not dependent on the app to fly and shoot so you could launch one in follow mode and then launch one in dolly mode to get your dual view simultaneously 😊
1:07 remember when he used to use that little samurai knife to open things? That samurai knife was $20 bucks. The knife he just used as a microtech. Costs about $400. It's kind of analogous to the channel.
Based on reading the website, it seems like it doesn't shoot RAW/DNG photos or LOG footage. Also doesn't seem to shoot more than 30fps. The small size is cool but this is a drone for people who want to crank out minimal-effort reels/tiktoks rather than any serious photography/videography. Give it a couple years and maybe it'll get there though.
If you look at the specs, it can shoot 1080p @ 60 fps with HDR off. But if you want to shoot 2.7k or 1080p + HDR on, then it can only do 30 fps. It's not the best, but it's something, I guess.
This isn't the drone to compete with DJI or Autel, it is an essentially a selfie drone designed for the everyday consumer to whip out on a vacation/event to get photos or videos that are certainly good enough. I have the Air 3, Mavic 2 pro and mini pro 3 and of course they are in literally in a different league but I absolutely found myself going to this little drone in populated areas on vacation to a group photo without worry of handling a controller hence taking oneself out of the picture or injuring someone with props where the Hover is fully encased. Oh and the sound filtering they use to practically remove drone noise is excellent and would be a nice feature for UA-camrs.
Is there any wa/security feature to esure the drone returns to owner? I just wonder...if someone else decides to put their hand out can they take your drone?
So I have a few questions. Firstly how well does it follow/track someone when they are in a group of people? Another question I have is how well does it track the owner when there are multiple people close to the owner. If someone else holds out their hand will it land on their hand (not the owner)? What about commands in a group of people? If someone else gives it a recognized command will it follow it? Thanks in advance, I am new to this device, but think it is really cool and could be fun to use for my brand. Kevin-
Is there a cyber Monday deal and I’d probably go with the black one because I think I would lose the white one because I would like to use this in the snow
It seems very cool, but does it avoid itself hitting things? Like if it is following you, and an object sorta blocked its following path. Will it just fly just like it planned and hit, or will it detects obstacles around it, and avoid hitting things? Like if I am walking in a forest trail and set it to follow me. Will it dodge tree or rocks or leaves or etc?
Based on this vid and the website. It’s absolutely going to smash into things. You need a clear path. It doesn’t have obstacle avoidance. My dji MINI 2 did have some obstacle avoidance but It also didn’t have active track. So that’s a plus. The mini 3 does both. This I can absolutely assure you does not do avoidance.
How to detect a subject when you are with a lot of people for example in the pedestrian crossing?? And if i move from my initial location how can it fly back to me?
I love Lew. But damn, we need Lew Later back. there are so many topics now that I would love to hear Willy Du and Lewis talk about. ChatGPT drama, New iPhone 15, Tesla and Elon on ROgan. Cybertruck news. And all the random news Willy Du used to present. McDonalds news, etc. Bring back Lew Later! Love it if it came back for even once a week.
Can i fly this drone even in a crowded place?? Is it allowed since its propellers are guarded and super light unlike other drones which are prohibited to be flown above a group of people?
The real question is how well does it track in low light, festivals, raves, concerts. Would be weird if it just lands in anyone's hand and they just run away with it lol.
@sbs19956 - Instead of someone running away with it, I would be more concerned over people wanting to grab it and stomp on it, to stop the high-pitch buzzing sound from grating on everyone's ears and getting on people's nerves. People at festivals, raves, concerts, etc... are not going to appreciate that thing flying anywhere near them, given the amount of noise pollution it produces.
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 very limited instruction on how to really use it, I had to research UA-cam to find how to work things; with that being said, I give it a 7.5 out of 10 rating
Approximately 10min flight time and max range (governed) of 100feet and 50ft vertical. It can be controlled by a cellphone if desired and there was a bluetooth controller out for it that was sold out if one needed to fly manually but that isn't really needed.
I miss unsponsored videos and real reviews.
Same here, not gonna lie
Thats what happens when u get big
Same
This is era where UA-camrs make way less money than the podcasters 😂😂😂
@@i0x_x0i really? I never see how much podcasters make.
i have one. it starts up faster than any of the other drones and is very simple to use. i am looking forward to the next generation
Is the camera like I phone level?
Im waiting for 4K video with a price around £299

We love this feature too!
@@__WJK__ the creator said it could cancelled that 2m angry mosquitos.
I got one as well and while this is my first drone, I can confirm this drone is amazing and I got some great shots with it.
Is that noise still ok?
@@liftofflife5607 You don't hear the noise in the video. Uses AI to remove it.
Whats the manual flying mode like
@markshirleygoogleplus Slow and Smooth. Need to disable vibrations though cause it gets picked up.
I can imagine how helpful this would be to shoot music videos
The og video takes me back man, that was a nice little nostalgia trip
This would be amazing to have to take family photos on trips and during the holidays. I would get the Black one for sure
What a cool gadget! It’s like: “shut up and get my money!”
I want one please!
Thanks for the videos! Always entertaining to watch
Never been a fan of drones but it does look cool
That sound pfff no thx

The next question would be if you could have more than one working off the app at the same time to do dual filming ?? That would be awesome
The drone is not dependent on the app to fly and shoot so you could launch one in follow mode and then launch one in dolly mode to get your dual view simultaneously 😊
My Dog does the same thing.
He loves chasing drones and RC cars!

It shoots in VGA
@@Kevin-mx4vm Wrong. It shoots in 2.7k stabilized. This isn't hard to find out, called Google.
@@pickledpeppers1577 ok hoverair employee
stumbled upon this video while doing research as someone pulled it out in our golf party today. Was getting awesome shots of our tee shots.
Very suitable for beginners who want to get started with drones.
This looks amazing. I want one so badly
Microtech Ultratech spotted! Fkn love those knives. Tiny Troodon? Sick!
Take my money. This is way better than my current beginning drone
Love the set, a bit like you’re filming in the back rooms. The simplicity is refreshing.
The last shot of Moe opening the hands were sick. 😂❤
Do you know what happened to to Will Du?
@@killasic What? Willie Du is fine I guess. He doesn't show up in all videos.
What’s the sound quality like? Or is it only for voiceover shots?

Now I can be a peeping Tom without standing in front of my victims window.
Can you fly it like a normal drone? Assuming your using your phone as the view finder.
Is there a cyber Monday deal and I’d probably go with the black one because I think I would lose the white one because I would like to use this in the snow
deal going on for the drone and two batteries for I believe $379.
@@pickledpeppers1577 cool thank you
Holy smokes that is some gadget which will take my too much time of my life coz I’ll be playing with it all the time
The best
Reviews ever
Great reviews but no honest reviews.
Love that you have a Finnish Lapphund there 😊 we used to have one (in Sweden) and I can imagine they're pretty rare over seas.
A perfect Christmas gift for me
What's the battery life or capacity? Will it last more than 20minutes? Thank you!
Dope video , definitely picking one up today!
absolutely beautiful this is nice its what i really need, i love its versatility. It can help for proffessional shot
The world has really changed. Never even imagined it few years back
I wonder what the sound quality is for recording audio. Thinking of using it to record me playing drums, but I’d be mad if the playback was distorted.
The dog stole the show and that's when I hit the like button.
Do a review of the Flux Keyboard next. i love this return to the good ol Unbox Therapy days.
Love the fin noise. Not sounding like a horror flick or anything. 🤣
I love this 😊
I’m interested in your studio. Not a single video (that I could find) about it. I want to know more about it and why the Firing Range look!
Yep! I found my Christmas present for my best friend! (Even though im mad at him) lol
How bout talking about the ZeroZero Kickstarter that didn’t deliver an $800+ drone to its backers?!
It seems very cool, but does it avoid itself hitting things? Like if it is following you, and an object sorta blocked its following path.

Is it possible to steer the drone yourself and can you adjust the camera angle? I'm looking for a drone to inspect land.
Can i fly this drone even in a crowded place?? Is it allowed since its propellers are guarded and super light unlike other drones which are prohibited to be flown above a group of people?
I have the black one.... Spot on with your review.
No more Lew later?!🤔
both are amazing 🤩🤩🤩
I wonder if this could be used indoors for real estate promo videos. Would it steer clear of walls if I had it follow me around the house?
This looks really cool if it will track and follow an RC CAR. I have no use of recording myself.
Waiting for the x2 with more flight time and 4k, I'm sure that'll be out soon hopefully
There is another model out called the hover air x1 Smart at 99grams, however it doesn’t not fold up like your model.
What happens if you walking in a crowd... Will it focus on you only or it will get confused when you in the crowd

What was the battery life like on this?
Shite
I think 10 mins or so
@@kestutisi I saw 5 minutes in other vids
@@TopblokeGolf could be. I know it's pretty short.
Expect no more than 10min all dependent on temp and flight parameters. Example follow mode at high speed will certainly be less.
Wonder if it’ll just land in someone’s else randomly while ey do the gesture?
But other than this cool drone 🤩 seems very practical 🤗🤗

Where are you getting it for $350?.. The 2 battery with charger is $519 or $479 for standard 1 battery.
When is lew later coming back ?
these are actually pretty cool!
i'm running the nyc marathon this year, would i be able to have this following me the whole time?
you've kinda missed the whole recording audio bit, and the fact that you can also use it without the app.
the white one is perfect👌
If put other things not hand under the dron, it still landing?
What's the battery life on that drone? Is it running a 2S Lipo and comes with a charger?
how fast is it? can it keep up while im roller hockeying
Love you from nepal ( the Mt. Everest).🎉🎉
What make & model is that knife?
Cool video! Whats the fly time?
For price this worth so much. Hope they don't increase the price in future stay on budget friendly categorie

How far can it go away from you? And can it be used over water?

Can this drone do a car driving shot while the subject drives?
Either would be fine for me. Just being able to afford one and do some fun captures would be great.
