I'm placed a order few hours ago, I got that $900 deal ProMax combo pack comes with the beacon, also added extra battery to the combo package 2 since it's on sale Can't wait to get it and play with it 🔥💥🥳🥂🤙👍👌✨ The shipping guarantee because they charge $20 for the shipping cost so duh
Very cool! It's an awesome product and the accessories really expand what you can do with the drone. Have fun when it gets there and they start shipping in September. Let me know how you like it.
Rick...Great review. Appreciate the insight and technical aspects of the review. I can tell your Giddy and Excited about the new tech :). Keep up the good work!
I had a chance to fly it at the launch and it's pretty amazing. The remote and other accessories are really cool as well and give you a ton more control over the flight. Stay tuned, I'm pressing them for the test units and it might be a few weeks yet.
They are taking orders now with a huge discount and have a shipping guarantee to start shipping in September with all of the units delivered by October. The sale is only for the first 48 hours so grab one if you're interested.,...
Nice presentation. To be checked if large phones like the samsung S24 Ultra can fit under the joystick and if there is a way to wear the beacon around your neck. (You will not be clipping it off and on while descending a snowy slope or skating)
Thanks Rick! I placed an order for the ProMax combo with the beacon and joystick. I never tried the 1st HoverAir because it appeared to only follow from behind. Do you know if this new ProMax version will track flying backward to film people from the front?
No headsets in the accessories we saw but the Beacon and remotes are awesome. The charging case is pretty sweet as well. I'll have samples in the middle of September for review so be sure to stop back as I do some in-depth reviews.
Apples to an oranges my friend. 8k doesn’t mean much just that (usually) the sensor isn’t limiting the image fidelity. DJI flies further, this is way more convenient to deploy quickly and to pack up. DJI is a more involved process which sucks when you just want a quick shot.
@@PaulKentSkates just depends on what you’re looking for and how DJI decides to market the NEO when it finally gets released. For me, 8k is everything along with quick deployment as you mentioned. The DJI 03 air unit is 4k60 and quite honestly lousy and very grainy. When flying action sports or chasing subjects, Iv went back to my GoPro. I already own the Mini 3 pro and love that drone for travel and long range cinematic video. But you are right it is Apple to Oranges. The NEO to me appears to be a CrossFit type of drone that’s not really going to be an epic selfie nor epic cinematic drone. It looks to be an average well rounded tool. I’m looking for an epic selfie with advanced sensors for chasing with limited grainy video and the quick b deployment I’ve loved with my X1. I pre-Ordered the 8k 🙂
@@PaulKentSkates Even though these both fly, they are designed for different use cases. The Hover is a simpler flying camera that is airborne in less than 30 seconds with a collection of automated flights. The Mini series takes longer to get airborne but allows you to fly farther and longer and still provides automated flight. The challenge with the Hover is it's limited flight options and short flight time and the challenge with the Mini is its portability (compared to Hover) and it's boot-up time.
It was just a simple interview at their launch event and I was just impressed with the updates. I think its a cool product and I can't help but get excited about new tech like this.
I want to see a content creator actually use it to fly over water and off a cliff. Also follow someone on an electric bike or motorcycle. See collision avoidance. Don’t want to see the company’s public relations video. Why aren’t they sending it out to content creators like most new camera/video companies with new products even if they are beta versions?
Thanks for the post and I'll have the samples in my hands shortly and will dive deeper into the reviews. They have made significant improvements to the original Hover X1 and this clip was from an event I attended for a first look at the product. We did fly it a bit on their patio but I want to get it out in the wild to really test it. Stay tuned for updates on the drone and it's accessories as soon as the samples arrive.
LOL, that's how an interview works. If I just set up a camera and let him talk, that's a presentation and you can see that on their website. I had a ton of questions that folks wanted answered, so I had to challenge him on a few of the technical points. I think it turned out pretty good and folks seem to enjoy the back and forth.
Its a delicate balance between portability and flight time. This isn't intended to compete with smaller DJI drones and it totally unique in the space. It's perfect for capturing vacation moments or for content creators looking for an easy to fly camera.
Looking forward to an honest review of the X1 Pro vs Neo.
WOW! Awesome looking products. Great informative video. Thanks so much for doing this.

Love my HoverAir X1 can’t wait for the new ones to launch!

@@JimKilgo combos are selling fast. I just ordered the 8k and an extra smart battery. That’s good enuff for me
Very professional channel, great video!🎉

Nice 1 Rick

Does it track the beacon? Or is the beacon just a visual controller?
Doesn't the minin4 pro do all these things? Minus the 8k?
How hasn't dji developed a beacon yet🤔
Great video Rick….this or the neo?
how can i buy extra accesories on indigogo for joystick
The accessories will be released with the drone in a few weeks and you can purchase them then. Right now they are only sold as part of the kits.
ok ordered x1promax cycling combo excited to use it with my joystick
How about any headsets?

They just Blew DJI out of the water! OMG! Who wants 4k30 when you get 4k60 or 8k30?!
Yep, the 4K 60 footage looked amazing and the accessories are SO cool as well. Stay tuned for updates.

That looks awesome,did I hear him say you can record audio at the same time.😁
Yep, that beacon will not only help it track you plus give you a joystick for control and record audio. Pretty awesome!
Is there a link so you can get paid,if I buy it I am buying it through you.i want to support your great channel 😊.thank you
Flying a drone at all U.S. ski resorts is illegal, so 😂
That is such a good point. They’re targeting snowboarders, but the first time they launch this thing, they’re gonna get their ski pass pulled…period.
Thanks for video daddy
A beacon. So GPS?
Makes the Neo look obsolete before it even comes out
😎
This video seems more like a commercial for Hover
It was just a simple interview at their launch event and I was just impressed with the updates. I think its a cool product and I can't help but get excited about new tech like this.
@@Dronevalley yeah its nice
Boomers and Asian nerds seem to be super compatible
LOL, man I love labels....who among us is that one-dimensional? I hope you enjoyed the content.
@@Dronevalley We (egos) have a tendency to project the limitations of what we think we are...😁
Sir, slow down, meant warmly but you’re too eager to move on not realising there’s a lot still to share.

Rick shut up and let the drone guy explain everything. You keep interrupting him over and over!
