HOVERAir X1 Self-Flying Camera, Pocket-Sized Drone HDR Video Capture, Palm Takeoff, Intelligent Flight Paths, Follow-Me Mode, Foldable Action Camera with Hands-Free Control Black (Combo)

Good video, easy to use, great fun, great value
A very impressive simple drone, my first. Best fun from a piece of tech that I’ve had in years. Batteries last about 8 minutes [ came with 2 and a twin charger] and I have since bought another spare. Well built, fits in a pocket when folded. Lots of instruction videos online. Great Value.

An intuitive device that’s fun to use
It’s expensive. It’s light, it’s small. It looks like a toy but it is incredible. It’s not a Drone that needs you to master a great deal. It’s pre programmed to do a fair amount and that’s the beauty of it. Very quickly you see how easy it is to use and the effects are amazing but what blew my mind was that if you talk into your phone’s mic while it’s flying (and you’re connected to it) the AI gets rid of the buzzing noise to give clear commentary. A couple of cons, it could easily be grabbed by someone if you’re using this in a very populated area and they could run off with it. It does have limitations like about 10 mins flying time on one battery. If it’s too windy it won’t fly or will just land without returning to you. Don’t fly it over water, it will end in tears. Notwithstanding those Cons I think it’s bloody marvellous and already I’ve taken some exciting & interesting selfies that you wouldn’t get either by holding it or sticking my phone on a pole. If you can afford it, buy it. I thoroughly recommend this.

So far – Grrrrrrrreat!
So easy to get initial shots – and a certain amount of control over ‘preset’ parameters is possible. I have started t experiment with custom flights – I would prefer it if every shot was NOT a selfie!Also it is frustrating that it has a very slow charger – obviously it is very particular about which electrons it allows to enter the battery, but from minimum to maximum it takes over 3 hours – and, if using the trin charger, charges one battery first, then moves on to the second one!. Just so frustrating.If you’re concerned about potentially damaging the HoverAir X1 in your pocket or if packing for a trip, you will be delighted to know it exactly fits a standard 3.5-inch drive case! – Problem solved for a few extra pounds.Overall- Do I like it? – YES.- Do I love it? – Not sure yet.- Can it get better? – I’m sure it can – and hopefully will be in the firmware updates soon!- Would I swap it fo a refund? – NO

Magic camera drone
Its a bit nerve wracking to let an expensive thing like this free without any control and then turn your back on it and ride away. But so far it has followed me around like a flying puppy. Very impressed so far. Not all functions are available at first. They get unlocked as you gain experience using it. It does have limitations though. Wind, Water and mountains are risky but there are 2 pro versions of this with better cameras which can handle more situations. This baby one is more for parties and picnicks than skiing and surfing

This flying cam is super handy, and perfect for solo travelers taking vids. Excited to use this in my next solo travel. By far i am satisfied.

I’m in the Maldives now and nearly didn’t bring it. I’m glad I did, it’s amazing for what it is. I had several people come up to me and ask what it was and they were all impressed. Downside is 11 minute battery life and price, but for what it does it’s worth it.This combo with 2 batteries and quick charger helps with the operating times. So far I think it’s brilliant.

El mejor dron personal que había, hasta que salió el DJi Neo claro, bastante más barato. Pero hasta entonces, un nuevo concepto que nadie había hecho antes.Tiene muchas funciones de seguimiento y modos automáticos, perfecto para no tener que usar un mando y llevar el dron “grande” con su bolso encime. Este lo llevas en el bolsillo, lo sacas discretamente y listo, a usar. Lo dicho, hoy es mejor compra el neo por precio y prestaciones pero sigue siendo muy buen dron.
