    Got my X1 Pro with Beacon today. The US$428 X1 Pro price (no Beacon) I thought wasn’t too bad. Extra US$144 for the Beacon.
    The big thing for me as a cyclist is the 42kph speed can keep up which my previous Hover X1 could not. The DJI Neo was an immediate no go as it’s too slow too like the original X1. Also Neo misses that X1 feature of folding away. To slip in my cycling jersey pocket or frame bag has been a huge advantage with the X1 for my needs.
    Anyway just day 1 for me. Haven’t encountered any bugs as yet so looking forward to a gravel biking adventure with it next weekend!

    The neo is just way too over sharpened in this video, while the Hoverair max's video quality far exceeds neo's, i'm not sure i'd pick that over the neo due to the vast price difference, and if i'm gonna be using a drone for activities like that, i don't really care much for supreme video quality. I'll use the mini 4 pro for cinematic video. But i do love what Zerozero is doing with their hoverair though, especially with the beacon. Thanks for the video.

    Great video, thank you. I have mine sat on the desk doing a firmware update. My biggest concern so far is the blown-out video, its over exposed. It does not deal with direct sunlight as well as the DJI NEO, which I also have. I'll reserve judgement until I have used mine.

  • @alphasportstv
    @alphasportstv 2 месяца назад +1

    Dunno...Neo looked crisper with better color. I know they say Neo is oversharpened but...Neo is less than half the price. I just got the DJI last week and tried it on a moderately gnarly downhill MTB trail in the woods, sadly it got hung up by a tree in the first 5 seconds, then had great difficulty following me down a twisting, wooded trail, parking itself 4 more times, and I was only going about 1/4 normal speed. It would likely work better in the open. I'm hoping the Hover w Beacon might perform better for MTB in tight spaces, waiting on more vids of this subject matter. Cheers

    Nice idea to compare those drones and preparing further tests and reviews
    I am surprised with by many Indiegogo bakers and also tech youtubers that they are disappointed with X1 pro/max new drone and not understanding or explaining what is indiegogo product launch
    I mean indiegogo product is an investment to support the manufacturer and its product developpment with being rewarded a discount versus what it will be when officially distributed
    This drone will have regular new firmware and should become what it has been advertised and maybe even better
    This has been true for many drones and other indiegogo products for many years
    Your strong expertise has given you the chance to get this frone for free but your viewers should be aware of the above ;-)

    • @gregb1599
      @gregb1599 2 месяца назад +1

      Because as usual it was over hyped, just look at the promotional videos that looked amazing, and then reality hit that it was just that over hyped under delivery. At least everything worked on the Neo at launch, app is perfect controller works perfect, the only small issue was active track that has now been fixed. The hype I got hooked on was its supposedly obstacle avoidance but so far that also does not work as expected. The beacon is not working, Android users could not even use the app when the drone was released 2 weeks ago!

    • @robbart7599
      @robbart7599 2 месяца назад

      @@gregb1599 100% agree, I am a DJI user and always rely on their strong product. There is no real competition Still X1 was a very different product and DJI neo so far the best option for people whom do not want to take risks. Yes indiegogo is a bit risky and should be considered only if the investment is not compromizing any video project . Rich people activity 😅
      And one more time the social media hype and marketing promotion is not always helping users in their choice
      This is the reason why everyone should be educate in not buying by emotion but with reflexion, this is what smart people are doing (and also what I am also trying my best to do....and not always follwing my own recommendation 😂)

    I was hoping the X1 would come with 360 degree obstacle avoidance, sadly its rear sensor seems not to work that well either. The only positive seems to be the camera, but is it worth that price difference? And remember that price is Indigogo price not local pricing after import duty tax and retailer mark up. The Neo and X1 already includes all that

      In this case, DJI is a competitor for ZeroZero Robatics, they came up with a new format "flying action camera" (not to be confused with a drone), which, like a regular action camera, fits in a clothing pocket, does not require control and management, has a minimum startup time. And DJI climbed into their territory with a clumsy product.

      ​@@El_Smeghead,
      I shoot for myself as a keepsake to review in the future. And then 8K will be commonplace.
      And the fact that you do not distinguish FHD from 4K is because you grossly violate the viewing distance. It should be less!
      That is, you should choose the viewing distance so that for;
      FHD was FOV 32 °
      4K was FOV 64 °
      8K was FOV 128 ° or 3/4 of your field of vision.
      And the resolution is increased to proportionally increase the field of view, and it is increased to enhance the effect of presence.
      FOV - (field of view) is the angle from the pupil between the edges of the screen.

HoverAir X1 ProMax way overpriced. When DJI comes out with a Neo 2Pro or similar it will be awesome for sure.

  • @NeilEvery

    I'm guessing all the folks in the comments so focused on the Neo price have been drinking the YT Koolaid and/or have zero professional or even prosumer interest in these cameras. With very few exceptions (Philip Bloom being probably the only one) all Neo footage I've seen looks like trash. Come on people, look at the footage on a proper screen not just your phone - this is the worst 4K I've seen in awhile. Sooo much over-sharpening. The Neo footage is completely unusable within a 4K timeline with footage shot on even the most basic mirrorless systems. Philip Bloom's footage looks ok but that's because he had to do a ton of fiddling with the settings and run it all through Topaz (that, and he has decades of experience as a pro filmmaker).
    It's great that there is competition for DJI with the HoverAir but there is no way they can compete with the DJI marketing juggernaut, especially when most people don't seem to see how crap the image quality is because they are so focused on it's price tag. Reminds me of the Beta vs VHS battle - Beta was far superior but the consumer chose VHS because it was cheaper.
