I love a DJI deal like the next person, but I also like variety, which is why I got excited when I spotted that the HoverAir X1 was on offer in Amazon’s black Friday sale. Launched before DJI brought out its Neo and Flip models, the X1 is an ultra-lightweight selfie drone with a 15 mph follow speed.
HoverAir X1: The Pocket-Sized Drone That Follows Your Adventures
The HoverAir X1 is a remarkably compact drone, weighing just 125g – lighter than manny smartphones – and falling under the regulatory 250g weight limit for simplified flying rules. this tiny drone is packed with technology, offering notable video capabilities and intelligent flight modes, making it ideal for capturing dynamic footage on the go.
The X1 shoots crisp 2.7K video and stabilized 1080p footage thanks to built-in electronic image stabilization, ensuring smooth clips even in windy conditions or during fast movement. https://www.t3.com/reviews/zero-zero-hoverair-x1-review
A key feature of the HoverAir X1 is its ability to follow subjects without a traditional controller.Utilizing a dual-camera system, the drone provides reliable face, body, and motion detection. It can be launched directly from your palm using physical buttons, and offers swift-start modes including hover, Follow, orbit, and Dolly Track for effortless cinematic shots.
For those interested in active pursuits, the X1’s 15 mph follow speed is well-suited to keep pace with cycling or running. It maintains a safe distance while automatically adjusting altitude and angle. This speed is particularly relevant as it aligns with the maximum motor assistance speed for e-bikes in the UK and EU (15.5 mph), allowing the drone to easily accompany riders.
Safety is also a priority with the X1. Its enclosed propellers considerably reduce the risk of injury to people, pets, or damage in confined spaces, a notable advantage over drones with exposed propellers.
Battery life is approximately 11 minutes per charge, but “Fly more” bundles are available, including multiple batteries to extend shooting time. https://www.t3.com/features/best-drone
