User feedback

User feedback

Great product and a great innovative company! One of the best pocket drones I ever had! 🙏 And a great supportive community around this awesome little drone, where you can find many tips and ideas for your content!
I’ve never owned a drone before, but I’ve played with a few. This thing is awesome! I bought it primarily for the follow me mode, and this thing is DESIGNED around that mode. The manual mode gives it the functionality of a normal drone just in case, but even without, the quality of the camera and it’s stability is straight up AMAZING!
First of all, I can't believe how easy this thing is to use. You get drone quality footage with a fraction of the hassle, and I only needed to read the quick start guide And some brief trial and are practicing to figure it out. Speaking of the footage, it's really clear and high definition, and there are a lot of functions to increase variety and promote creativity. I highly recommend this device!
I'm enjoying it immensely day 1 out of the package. I have zero experience with drones and this is pretty user friendly
I’ve seen the Hover Air X1 on instagram tracking my run influencers in some amazing videos. I saw it on sale for Black Friday and snapped it up. Excellent picture and video quality, nice interface and a super light and portable drone with great intelligent flight modes as a flying camera! Highly recommended!!
If you are looking for a drone that is simple to use and easy to learn. The Hover is the one to get. I had been wanting to get a drone that I did not have worry about recking it and loosening hundreds of dollars. The Hover fit the my budget and my skills. Highly recommended.
I received my Hoverair x1 and was absolutely impressed with how user friendly it was and that it worked exactly as described! The pictures and video were crystal clear! I LOVE it! Best purchase ever!!! Friends and strangers were also amazed and impressed!
Okay this thing surprised the heck out of me! For the cost it could not be better. It is EASY to control, follows along with whatever speed you’re moving, has several options including some close range (like orbit, for example) and some further range (follow). The camera and picture/video quality are excellent. Truly could not imagine a better value for my money! We use it hiking, biking, and even to promote our business! You won’t regret it!
Funciona perfectamente, es liviano pero a la hora de volar se mantiene estable. Me encanta, su resolución es perfecta.
Purchased for my tech challenged GF. Only took her a couple of hours of playing with the features to figure it all out. Her phone can sometimes frustrate her and getting this down with minimal frustration was great. Small enough to carry in hand or in a purse.
The HoverAir drone is a game-changer! Super easy to use and perfect for anyone who wants professional-looking shots without lugging around gear. The follow mode works flawlessly — it literally tracks you as you move. The orbit and 360° modes make videos look cinematic, and the zoom-out feature is awesome for dramatic shots. It feels like having a personal cameraman wherever you go. Battery life is decent for quick shoots, and it’s compact enough to carry around. Highly recommend for travelers, content creators, or anyone who wants hands-free footage!
Best thing ever! Easy to use and get different angles when no one is around to hold the cam

FAQ

FAQ

1. What is the difference between HOVERAir X1 and other typical drones?

Unlike typical drones that focus on shooting distant landscapes, the HOVERAir X1 is designed to capture life up close, following you to record the people and moments that truly matter. It’s a lightweight, portable, and user-friendly self-flying camera that redefines what a drone can be. Weighing only 125 g, it requires no registration or certification and can take off from your palm in just three seconds. Its foldable design makes it easy to slip into a pocket or handbag for spontaneous, on-the-go shooting. The X1 features a variety of intelligent flight paths, such as Hover, Follow, Orbit, Zoom Out, and Bird's Eye, allowing effortless cinematic shots at a tap. And with its fully enclosed frame, you can enjoy completely worry-free flying wherever life takes you.

2. What kind of user and scene is HOVERAir X1 suitable for?

HOVERAir X1 is a perfect fit for those who enjoy recording and sharing their life. Whether you're traveling, engaging in outdoor adventures, camping, gathering with friends or participating in parent-child activities, HOVERAir X1 is the perfect companion.

3. What kind of environment is HOVERAir X1 suitable for?

The HOVERAir X1 is equipped with the VIO positioning system, which is recommended for use in the following environments:

* Flying height between 0.5m and 10m.

* Ground surface made of diffuse reflection material with a distinguishable texture and reflectivity greater than 20%.

* Sufficient lighting conditions (greater than 15 lux,equivalent to a normal indoor fluorescent lighting environment).

* Please note that the HOVERAir X1 is not waterproof and should not be used in rainy conditions. It is also not recommended to use it in strong wind environments.

4. Can I fly over water?

No. X1 is not designed to fly over water, cliffs, or terrain with indistinct ground textures, including when paired with the Beacon.

5. What is the positioning system used by HOVERAir X1?

HOVERAir X1 features advanced VIO (Visual Inertial Odometry) technology and a ToF laser altitude determination system. This provides accurate control with centimeter-level precision and enables a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor flying.Compared with GPS, the VIO positioning system allows HOVERAir X1 to return to the original starting point with no need for a compass calibration. It is ideal for beginners to enjoy worry-free flying.

6. Is the HOVERAir X1 wind-resistant?

Yes, the HOVERAir X1 can resist winds up to level 4 (7.9m/s). However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to use the aerial camera in windless or lightly breezy environments.

7. What kind of image stabilization technology is used in the HOVERAir X1?

The HOVERAir X1 utilizes a triple image stabilization system which includes mechanical stabilization (pitch axis) and electronic image stabilization (EIS) for hybrid anti-shake technology.

8. Can the gimbal of HOVERAir X1 be adjusted?

Yes, the gimbal of HOVERAir X1 can be adjusted within a range of -90 to 15 degrees.

9. How can I charge my HOVERAir X1?

You can charge battery by charging hub or battery while inside HOVERAir X1. We recommend PD 18W adapter. Know more about how to charge, check the guide here: https://hoverair.com/blogs/guide/hoverair-x1-acessories-guide

10. What happens when the battery is low without return to home (RTH)?

The Beacon will display “Low battery, initiating forced landing”, with voice announcement and vibration alert.

11. What if I exceed height or distance limits?

The Beacon will warn you that limits are reached; the drone will hover and refuse further forward motion.

12. What features of Beacon are currently compatible with the HOVERAir X1?

The following features are currently supported on the HOVERAir X1:

Video transmission

Instant status updates

In-flight settings adjustments

One-handed and two-handed control

Audio recording

Please note:

The HoverLink feature and Return to Home function are not supported on the HOVERAir X1.

When using two-handed control mode, live preview is not available on your phone screen.

The maximum flight altitude and distance are significantly lower than those of the HOVERAir X1 PROMAX.

To learn more about what’s compatible with the HOVERAir X1, visit our blog.

13. What’s the maximum flight range when connected to the Beacon?

Maximum transmission range is approximately 50 m, with a maximum altitude of 10 m. As there is no return-to-home (RTH) function, we recommend flying within visual range. For extended flight distance and advanced control features, consider exploring the HOVERAir X1 PRO / PROMAX.

(*The maximum distance is measured in vast, open areas with minimal RF interference, such as mountains or coastal regions. Actual range may vary based on the environment and smartphone model.)

14. Can I adjust gimbal pitch with Beacon?

Yes.

15. What if my new HOVERAir X1 battery doesn't charge directly from the device?

Some HOVERAir X1 batteries may enter over-discharge protection and cannot be activated or charged directly through the device. For first-time use, we recommend charging all batteries fully at least once using the Charging Hub. Each battery will take about 35 minutes to fully charge via Charging Hub.Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact HOVERAir support team at support@hoverair.com.
