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.
Stuff I use to make my videos:
My camera:

My voice-over microphone:

THIS ist the most BEST Review of the HOVER X1 i have ever seen 😲

@Roos-Reviews 10 ай бұрын

Aw thanks!

@ZeroZeroRobotics 11 ай бұрын

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 :)

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.

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 KZfaq 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, 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

@Ozpeter 10 ай бұрын

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 KZfaq. 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!]

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

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.

@argystar 6 ай бұрын

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.

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!
