Hi - welcome! enjoy the Hover! Check out the other videos in the channel on the Hover if you haven't ready, like flying it indoors! Best wishes!

Great, have a lot of fun with it!

Hi Craig, that's great to hear! Especially that the drone can be flown easily for those who have suffered a stroke. That's the great thing about the Hover, is that it is much easier to fly than a conventional drone without all the hassle. I'm pleased to hear that you are enjoying the drone - I love mine too! Best, Tim

Hi - thanks for the comment! I'll be posting the video in the new year. Looks like the rc controller is out of stock on AliExpress at present though unfortunately! Best wishes

Hi - thanks for the comment, enjoy the Hover! That's a cool idea to get it working with the Backbone, let me know if you have any success!

Hello - thanks so much for watching!

Hi Phil! Wow, that sounds sooo cool and exciting!. First what a wonderful location to go with your better half and I'm sure you are going to get some great footage - all those sunny days, and sandy white beaches. (Not jealous at all - looking out at gray skies and rain!) . Enjoy the Hover Air X1! What a fun project - so excited for you! Have you managed to figure out the mappings for the controller. I just managed in the weekend, but want to make them more DJI drone like. I'll probably do a video with the mappings at some point soon.

@@4T-Tech Thanks for your reply! I’m super excited. I haven’t yet dived into mappings…not sure when I’ll be able to do that (or how to do so). But truly I’m just happy to have the drone and could manage through the manual software controls if there is a particular shot that I really want which doesn’t involve us (and for many of those I can just use our action cam or iphone on a selfie stick). Yes we have grey rainy skies here in Southern California as well, which I’m looking at also. I’ve never been to BVI so it will be an amazing adventure. We will be four couples on a 42 foot Catamaran, going island hopping. And Island beach bar hopping. Pick your choice! I’ll choose both, thank you very much. :)

@@PhilTParkerHi! Count me in on both, I don't mind either! 🙂 We once tried to do something similar on a boat around the Greek islands, but Covid put a stop to that plan unfortunately. Your plans sound super fun, really pleased for you. Of course, don't try the Hover Air over water as it'll not like it and will go swimming. Look forward to seeing your footage when you get back, on your channel 🙂

@@4T-Tech I’m out here at BVI. Winds are pretty difficult. I didn’t lose my HoverAir X1 but…just make sure you keep her in winds that are “mello” if that makes sense.

Hi - to be honest, I've only tried the in-app audio option a couple of times and it seemed to work okay, but maybe I got lucky. I assume the setting in the Hover app to record audio was on, as I missed it once and got no audio - and also I didn't realise the audio must be recorded with the app rather than another app in the background. I used the DJI Mic 2 with bluetooth, but haven't tried any others.

Hi Joe - here are the steps with the Micro, hope these might help you: - Make sure the controller light is solid blue (not flashing) - bluetooth connection is ok to the phone - controller must be in Keyboard mode, slider on front is in K position

Hi - unfortunately not - it shouldn't be flown over water at all as it will confuse the sensor and will crash

Hi - make sure you have the latest firmware and app versions and it should appear on the bottom right on the main opening screen once connected to the Hover?

Hi - as far as I know, the manual mode only works with WIFI enabled for the preview - I haven;t found a way yet of switching off the preview which might allow it to work without wifi

@@4T-Tech Mine does not depend on home WiFi; it creates its own WiFi to use for video preview.

Hi - thanks for the comment - yes it does have a short battery life and it's even worse in manual mode unfortunately. Definitely need at least two batteries!
