HOVER Air X1 REVIEW
I'm finding the limits of this drone while riding some light downhill MTB. That includes speed, crashes, battery life e t c.

Super nice Review! I'm impressed how well the drone kept up with you, for my more relaxed travel cycling it would be awesome!

Great video, very helpful. They do have a new hard case that just fits the drone itself.

I'm an ultralight hiker and I also think this little drone is great! The low weight 125g is a real game changer compared to the 750g mini4pro with a controller. I also think the manual mode is cool for creating cinematic videos or pictures. My wishes!? Better camera with 4k quality and RAW recording More range in manual mode 50m height and Range would be great! (currently 15m height and 30m range)

Great review about the weaknesses of this drone. I own it and like it a lot. My use case is really just for fun shots of me and my wife on vacation, taking walks, at beautiful vistas and places etc. I love it!

@OutdoorsMedia 4 ай бұрын

Thank you! Yes, it's perfect for walks. But I want it to be perfect for MTB riding too. :)

All,those people, “OH NO…ITS A DRONE!…it’s gonna record us!” Then proceed to post every picture and video of themselves on TikTok.

Yeah its the drone we want, but we just need an upgraded version of it! better camera for sure, and some obstacle detection!

Very nice review with some fantastic shots! Man I miss mountain biking, have a Trek and a GT. Just can't bike anymore because of my back injury.

Thanks for this video. I was curious for how it would perform as an action sports follow cam. Hopefully the 2nd generation has a better camera, and can fly faster (I want it to keep up to me snowboarding). The sports mode you mentioned would make a lot of sense as well. Hopefully the company listens to your (and other action sports people's) feedback.

@OutdoorsMedia 4 ай бұрын

Biking in the woods isn't that fast so I only need it to go a bit faster. Skiing and snowboarding is much faster so I guess the 2nd gen would need a lot more power to be able to keep upl. This is a great proof of concept, though! Thank you for your comment!

Ist ne coole unkomplizierte Drohne die man immer dabei haben kann. Finde ich super. Grüße ronactive

Sport mode and can use it over the water plus a bit more of batery power

Great video do you think the Hover would follow 2 bikes together

@OutdoorsMedia 4 ай бұрын

Haven't tried that. It might get confused. But 2 bikes following each other would probably work.

@monsalve7621 Ай бұрын

How can operate if manual mode?

@pradeepgurung9200 2 ай бұрын

hi, Can we attach Go pro on top of this drone? can this drone hold go pro weight?

@OutdoorsMedia 2 ай бұрын

Most likely no. The drone is tiny and weighs less than a GoPro.

@THE.MICHAEL.ANGELO Ай бұрын

HI! I can't seem to get an answer from anyone [and maybe I'm looking in the wrong places] but do you know if the drone app is Apple only? All our phones here are Android. Thanks!

@OutdoorsMedia 29 күн бұрын

It works with Android too.

How do I see my footage? I just got one but can’t figure this out. Ty

@OutdoorsMedia 4 ай бұрын

In the app, connect to your Hover and you should find the footage there somewhere. Select a few clips and then select download to get them to your phone. It’s pretty straightforward.

I use skydio 2 with a beacon on the wrist

@OutdoorsMedia 4 ай бұрын

The obvious option. Better in every way probably, but doesn’t fit in a pocket.

@FancySassy80 4 ай бұрын

You would think being a selfie drone it would have obstacle avoidance

@OutdoorsMedia 4 ай бұрын

Yes, but at the same time it's a very small drone. A forward facing sensor would be great though to avoid all of these head-on collisions.

@roehitkadam 2 ай бұрын

I wonder if anyone's tried sticking the gopro on top of the drone !

@OutdoorsMedia 2 ай бұрын

The drone is too small to carry any payload. It only weighs 125 g and a GoPro weighs over 150 g to put things in perspective.

@tomg224 3 ай бұрын

works only if you are really slow on the bike :/ there is no drone good enough to follow mtb rider going fast other then fpv and pilot :D

@OutdoorsMedia 3 ай бұрын

Yes, speed is an issue when you want to look fast. Let’s hope for a faster gen 2 Hover.

@tomg224 3 ай бұрын

@BAMCreator even gen 100 of this thing won't work .. you will be better of with 360 cam on a stick behind you .. all those drones are pure waste of money
