Will this AI Drone replace your GoPro? HoverAir X1 ProMax HANDS ON
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Hands-on test of the Hoverair X1 ProMax, a self-flying drone that follows you like a flying action cam! Hoverair X1 Promax is a self flying drone with a 1/1.3 inch sensor that shoots at up to 8k 30fps or 10-bit HLG up to 4k 60fps, or slow motion in 4k 120fps, while its little brother the X1 Pro has a 1/2 inch sensor and shoots up to 4k 60fps or 1080p 120fps. I spent almost a whole day testing the Promax both indoors and outdoors, and here are my hands-on first impressions.

DISCLOSURE:
I wasn't paid for this video, but Zero Zero Robotics (the manufacturer) invited me to San Francisco to try out the Hoverair X1 Promax, and offered to pay for my flight and hotel.
Best initial review at the moment 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing and looking for the next one ❤
@@danilomorales144 gracias Danilo. I’m bugging the company to send me a review unit so i can post a review as soon as possible.
Thanks for the video! By the way - the X1 PRO|PROMAX do have a two handed remote controller for those who are interested in piloting, but our signature functionality is certainly around easy automated flight modes including follow!
@@ZeroZeroRobotics thanks and congrats! I’d love to try controlling it manually like a traditional drone!
@@360vroomers Actually, I ordered the combo with an extra??? control stick and the beacon. It is unclear whether This will be enough for totally manual flight control. "stick" means one and seems you need two to control???? I would love to get an update on this point.
@@danewesterdahl3451 when I spoke to them, they told me that the sticks are ordered as a pair. So I believe you will get two sticks.
@@360vroomers Thanks a lot. Strange and confusing. The photo shows 2 but the text and order says "stick" singular. I don't know if these will be useful, but I'm and old dji guy and am used to conventional flying--I guess called "manual". Of course this is probably a very poor use for this drone😁
Nice bit of tech; however I can't see how many public places such as ski resorts would allow these to be used as they could be construed as a hazard. All fine and good if you can find a secluded spot away from all the Karens.
@@rmarlin that’s a legitimate question bec at the ski resorts we go to, usually it says no drones. Having said that, this is so small and innocuous looking that you *might* get away with it.
@@360vroomers I agree I love how small and innocent this tech is; however you will be running the risk of having your ski ticket torn up and kicked out. Ski tickets are not cheap these days not like they used to be, I guess it is a risk you could take, sucks how the Karens are so easy to anger.
@@rmarlin in that case, maybe use it when you are about to go home 😂
@@360vroomers lol
I agree. It's still a drone. It's annoying and hazardous on a crowed slope. And drones (doesn't matter how small the size is) are banned in all ski resorts across US. I don't get the point about this skiing ad and the ski bundle if it's banned in ski resorts.
Some of the accessories for the Pro Max are really interesting, and could help it add some of functionality of the new DJI Neo drone. It's going to be interesting year for the selfie drones. Great video Mic, thanks for sharing.
@@RonaldBrown59 thanks Ron! I’m curious how the DJI Neo will compare to this.
@@360vroomers The Neo should be out soon.
@@RonaldBrown59 yes I’m curious how it compares
Thanks for the great insight I love my Hoverx1 and just purchased the pro max ski ⛷️ and extra battery and cycle mount. You had me at the wireless mic which I love on my X1 and the beacon with screen so will be a great addition to my filming needs.
Congrats! I forgot to mention in the video that the beacon is backward compatible with the x1, for at least some functions like the microphone and remote live view. Not sure about the tracking.
It would be great it the drone could track more than one beacon as well to get group shots well framed. Primary beacon, secondary etc and also merge the audio from those beacons into separate audio channels for later editing. I might have missed it but does this drone have return to beacon, or summon from beacon instead of return to home GPS. That could be helpful if you are on a moving boat or have skied quite a bit further down slope than the drone stopped at etc.
@@stephenwensley9328 that sounds like a cool idea. It would be nice to be able to switch subjects mid-flight. Re return to beacon - my mistake. Indeed that’s one more benefit to the beacon. They said it has a return function.
This little thing is so cool! Awesome meeting you
@@cameranerdsmedia thanks for reaching out! You rock!
Thanks for the great video. I have ordered the Pro (not Max) because I don’t think I will need the 8 K video. But I will definitely go for the Beacon and the controller options.
@@AlHearn thanks and congrats!
...i''m looking forward for the beacon demo...
Yes I’m very curious about it too. I’ve never seen a demo yet.
*The video we needed!*
🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️👌🏽
A much needed update/upgrade on this drone. That abillity to crop/zoom in and still have 4k is easily one of the best understated/underrated feature.
Woah, havin a screen on the beacon, With a mic! GAME-Changer!! 🔥
Glad it's an optional upgrade so people to get it later if they want.
motorcycle/cycle/run footage should translate well to EUC/eBoard ridin at least at casual speed 👌🏽👌🏽
@@eBoard3R yup it should get some really cool footage, kind of like hiring a drone pilot to shoot a video of you 😁
Thanks for the useful review. You mentioned several use cases. Another one which is relevant is mountain hiking because this drone can fly at high altitudes and folds down so it can fit in a fanny pack. I even put the X1 in the hip belt pocket of my backpack. The PRO and the PROMAX will still fit because they are only a fraction larger.
That’s true! I’ve seen several users use Hoverair to shoot majestic mountaintop videos. I look forward to seeing what you can do with pro and pro max!
We made it happen! All us wheeled action recorders. Feel proud!
@@AnotherCG woohoo! We’re gonna get the best footage than they’ve ever seen! 😎
You’re my go to guy for reviews and advice. They should bring you on board!
Thanks buddy! DJI, are you paying attention??? :D
So they finally made the next version ;)
More fun yes, This is why moved from selfiesticks to Unicornmount too
@@Planet-ICELAND unicorn helmet mount is cool. With a selfie stick I get some variety by shooting a bit shorter or longer example. With promax, i will get even more variety.
Best first look video, well done. Interesting to see: 1. gimbal resistance to crashes on trees ( no obstacle avoidance) as it looks exposed compared to the Neo gimbal. 2. Will it get lost behind on the slopes if it loses the beacon signal because of obstacles. 3. If there is possibility of very delicate movement with joystick manual control (equivalent to dji Cine mode)
4. Footage stability with windy conditions while tracking and when not
@@epos_rising thanks!
1. Mine has hit trees and other objects but I don’t think it’s ever taken a direct hit to the gimbal because it has computer vision so it almost never bumps into something in front of the camera. Instead, it hits while moving backward or sideward, which hits the cage so that’s why it hasn’t taken much damage.
2. If it loses tracking, it immediately stops. Hopefully you notice and retrace or adjust your position a bit for it to regain tracking.
3. I don’t have a controller only an app. On the app, the movements aren’t delicate enough imho. I think the joystick would enable fine control but idk for sure.
4. Stability has been very good in the promax. When we tested at the park, it was quite breezy at times, with large tree branches swaying. Yet you can see from the footage that the video is stable, thanks to 2-axis gimbal + EIS.
@@360vroomers that sounds great, thanks. It also needs to be evaluated if it is more quiet than mini4pro for example. When you are tracking yourself at close distance, it becomes very important not to disturb any people around.
@@epos_rising I don’t have mini 4 pro but I have mini 3. Let me test it…
@@epos_rising ok as i suspected, mini 3 is definitely more quiet. is it annoying to people? hmm in the past year, no one has complained to me about it (i've only used it outdoors, or indoors at relatives' houses).
For EUC riding the HoverAir X1 Pro (Max) are a must, with the beacon.
BUT it would be nice if it could fly backwards at speed. To film me from the front while riding. For now the Insta360 is enough for that. I still want handsfree filming on EUC.
Since the DJI Neo is now released with more capabilities but priced almost half of its direct competition, the Hover X1, I would have liked to have seen the next generation Hover at a cheaper price point. Amazing capabilities on the Hover X1 Pro, though…and it still folds. (Take that NEO)
Already ordered the X1 Pro bike combo with joysticks mainly to solo film MTB content, just waiting for delivery :) nice vid.
Congrats! I think it’s the perfect camera for mtb!
I think it's interesting that HoverAir folds, but it ends up the same size at what that DJI Neo will be that doesn't fold.
@@user-jt5vm3mi1w hmm that’s a good point! From the photos, the neo looks a bit bigger though and won’t fit in a coat pocket. This one might fit in a ski jacket. It’s like the size of a VHS tape when it’s folded
@@360vroomers Both are so coooool
This is worth it. Thanks for the review
I think so too! Thanks! :D
Great insight on the new product! Will the X1 Pro operate while it is snowing when I'm snowboarding?
@@edfernandez3659 good question! Probably not. Besides being very difficult to track you, the snow can get into the motors. Afaik it isn’t waterproof
Great video! Thanks I will be selling my mini 4 pro because its not very practical for how I travel . Love my x3 but sometimes this drone would be much easier for what I am looking for.
Thanks! The Hoverair has been very useful to me in spite of its limitations. The promax and pro would be even more useful 😀
This drone looks awesome but I was wondering if you are testing the DJI Neo?
@@Budgettraveladventures sorry dji wouldn’t deign to ask a small channel like me to review anything. 😅 if u want a neo comparison, see Flytpath. I saw Aldryn at the Hoverair event and I’m guessing he has the Neo.
So, what about tracking me when I'm walking forward? follow me tracking is all people talk about but, no one dares to mention if it tracks as you walk towards it. How about side tracking? how about low angles? see, but, we're supposed to just to pre-order it because it's the new thing.
Tracking you from the front while you're walking is called "dolly track" in the app, while tracking from the side is called "side track". The x1 can do both and the promax and pro will also be able to do both. if you want to see what dolly track looks like, see my x1 review from last year: ruclips.net/video/S5mWwjEBNAc/видео.html
But when I tested the promax at the pre-launch event, dolly track wasn't available yet, as i mentioned in the video.
As for low angles, all hoverair models let you choose high, flat (eye level), or low angles for most modes (obviously not modes like bird's eye). for examples of high vs flat vs low, check out my x1 review from last year.
@@360vroomers Thanks, you mentioned in the X1 video that, it initiates landing if you stay in the same position for more than 3 sec & also it doesn't have obstacle avoidance when dolly-tracking & that you have to roboticly turn to prevent the X1 from switching to follow me mode from Dolly mode well, did they fixed these issues with the new one or it's still the same thing? if so, how fast the the dolly mode? also 42kp/h like in order modes? and lastly, you said we have 2 days to get $100 off the preorder, is the 2 days over now? why such a short time? I mean, many of us aren't convinced yet but, we're supposed to make a purchasing decision even though they haven't fully released the review videos of what this new version can do? All I'm saying is, they rushed this thing and in psychology, we all know when a seller tries to create urgency, you';re been scammed. There will be a ton of "What they didn't tell you" videos coming up soon when the majority had already purchased this thing by mistake.
@@Sir-Kay re dolly track, they now call it “super dolly track” implying some kind of improvement. But without having seen it or tested it, it’s hard to tell.
Re initiating landing after 3 secs standing still, afaik that is by design. It is the way the drone can tell that you want to stop. I don’t know if the time can be lengthened.
Re max speed in dolly mode, they implied it is lower. The founder’s video said something about the rear obstacle avoidance not being designed to work at very high speed.
Re discount, the $100 discount period is over but if you order during the crowdfunding, I believe there is still a $70 discount.
I hope that helps!
@@Sir-Kay hey Sir Kay. Just an update re landing after being stationary for 3 secs. I saw the app now gives other landing options. 1. Stationary for 3 seconds. 2. Gesture. Or 3. Either stationary or gesture.
@@360vroomers Ohh now, that's good. I can't wait till the next one, so, I'll just have to pick this one up. Thanks.
Nice vid Mic!
Happen to know what's the wind resistance?
Thanks Tiago! Yes it can fly at up to Level 5 (10.7 m/s)
do u think maybe neo will fight back with new upgrade, so neo pro or maybe neo promax will beat hover again.
You are absolutely right ) you fun when you are not preparation😅 so what you just switch or take is awesome)
Da, Aleks! Sometimes I just want to ride and I don’t want to worry about shooting the video 😁
Thank you for another great video but I’ve been down road with DGI’s promise games so I’ll be patient and wait for your full review
Thanks and I will do my best to find all the pros and cons.
1:24 How did you get the X1 to track you with a full face mask. Mine would just dart off and fly into me
Really? Is your firmware updated? It tracks me even if I put down my visor.
Hey you mentioned these drones aren't good for scenery, but I'm curious why that's the case? It would seem with the 4k and 120fps modes you should be able to get excellent scenery shots. Is the image quality lacking? What are better drones for scenery?
If you like majestic videos of scenery, you’ll often have to fly higher and faster to show the grandeur of the location. In this regard, Promax and Pro are small 2S powered with 2 inch props and they can fly up to 120m above ground level. They won’t be able to fly far or high enough to capture the scale of a place. That’s why I suggested that a larger drone like the mavic 3 pro would be better for that purpose.
Hoverair can do environmental portrait type shots though (shots of you and your family in scenery).
Thanks for the video and looks great. But Im in total shock with the price. More than $1500 MSRP for the combo with accessories? This is almost 4 times what I paid for the X1.. no way.
Hmm how did it reach that price? It’s supposed to be $599 for promax. Even the combo with accessories is $799.
@360vroomers $999 with the accessories and remote ($1530 MSRP as per their Indiegogo product launch page). And thats half the story because shipping to Europe where I am is another $69 plus I have 37% extra on top to pay worth of import fees and duties + VAT. We are talking about arounf $2000 by the time the item arrives at my hands. This is based on their MSRP as the $999 is the discounted launch price. So as I said, positively and absolutely no way.
@@yuidfbse in the livestream I heard it mentioned on the livestream that some people in EU will wait for the retail EU version to avoid import taxes.
Couldn't find an answer online. Will it fly higher the 15min of the X1? Find the 500m phone and 1km beacon reach, but I don't know if this is only the flat distance or if it can go up 100m
@@_The_Be_ yes! It can fly up to 120m from the ground.
Hi Mic,
Nice overview without having the drones on hand to test.
I have a couple questions being new to drones:
1) how was the video quality indoor? Did you test out in lowlight conditions?
2) how does the cameraman features of the X1 Pro and PM compare to the active track of DJI mini drones such as the mini 4 pro?
@@nomad0714 hi Nomad.
1. For indoor video quality, look at the scenes where I was in that gallery. But please note that room was reasonably well lit. You can also check out the other RUclipsrs who tested the pro and promax indoors because their location was more representative of typical indoor lighting.
I wasn’t able to test low light conditions. They said the two drones perform better in low light both for tracking and image quality but I haven’t tried it and haven’t seen any samples. But I do notice that for the Pro samples, the mountain bike through the forest seemed to have lower image quality compared to the open road sample.
2. The tracking of the Hoverair is very different. DJI drones were designed to track from higher altitudes like 20 ft or so and at longer distances. The Hoverair on the other hand tracks you at distances and altitudes similar to a cameraman. Even my skydio 2 cannot do those shots (even though it has more advanced sensors). To get a better idea of what Hoverair is for, I recommend checking out my review of last year’s X1 here (keep in mind that DJI and Skydio cannot follow a subject the way the X1 did): ruclips.net/video/S5mWwjEBNAc/видео.html
@@360vroomers, excellent. Thank you Mic!
@@nomad0714 also I don’t know what you plan to do with the drone but traditional drones usually take a while to start because they have to find enough gps satellites. The hover doesn’t use gps so it is ready to shoot much faster.
@@360vroomers, Hi Mic, I will use mostly for family and friends as I’m using filming my family and always the cameraman.
Otherwise for work, I see interior and exterior low ground shots and videos of me and/or my team during talks and walking around the scenes.
As you said well, low ground cameraman.
I sold my old Mavic 2 Pro and replaced jt wjth the Air 2S so for high shots and videos, I can use this.
Just missing a mini drone and this seems to fill that void.
Appreciate the help and info Mic!
@@360vroomers, Hi Mic, btw, before I make my purchase, do you have an affiliated link I should use?
I had the X1, loved it but wanted to adjust how far it would go backwards on the auto modes. did they change that yet? the distances weren't far enough.
@@PeterPham hi Peter. AFAIK the distances haven’t changed. If you prefer to track from father distances, you might prefer another drone. Hoverair was designed to shoot from distances that are more similar to a cameraman than a drone.
@@360vroomersso the proMax can only follow you in a predetermined distance that is not adjustable. What is this distance?
@epos_rising in each mode, there are adjustable parameters such as height and distance, and sometimes the option to turn tracking on or off. For follow and dolly track, the distance options are close, standard, or far.
@@360vroomers Sounds good ! When tracking from the side are close,standard,far options also available?
@epos_rising yup!
What's the memory configuration like? 32GB from the original X1 was fine, but with 8k, that's gonna be a different story.
Ah, to answer myself, it has up to 1TB of SD cart storage :-)
You’re right both have micro sd but both also have built in memory. One of them has 64GB. I forgot the other one has either double or half. I don’t recall.
@@360vroomers Yep, the Pro max has 64, the pro has 32. Both have SD expansion slot
Did you get a chance to try manual mode too? The fact that it can follow you up to 1km is impressive, does this also mean you can manually fly up to 1km away with the joystick controller and/or does this also mean that using the manual mode in the smartphone app, you can fly it up to 1km?
@@WouterSchoot good question! I wasn’t able to try manual mode. So one thing I’m wondering is what’s the lag like? I don’t know yet. As for phone range it’s definitely less than the beacon. Iirc it is 500m I think
@@360vroomers 500mtr is still very good. Is the current X1 also capable of that kinda distance? I've never tried it yet to be honest. Have you? :-)
@@WouterSchoot the quoted range is in ideal conditions with no obstructions etc. With trees it’s going to be less. Buildings reduce the range even more. I rarely use manual mode with x1 so I haven’t flown it that far. Maybe 30m at most 🙂
@@360vroomers Thanks for all your quick replies!
Max height 120m as mentioned in their FB live now.
Edit: Fixed
Amazing! :) My qoocam 3 ultra images are so overexposed in the sky, nearly always half of the sky is white instead of blue. I already turn EV down to -1 or -2 but it just makes everything else to dark at some point. AEB and DNG8 without post editing do not help but maybe I am doing something wrong...In post I can recover a lot with DNG by turning the highlights down but that is not what I want to do all the time, since that means post editing of each and every shot where daylight is involved... Please help me, I already requested return and will leave tomorrow afternoon for holiday so there is only today left to fix this :/
In this video of a very sunny scene, what do you think of the sky and the exposure? I didnt edit this at all. And I used auto exposure. I just turned on DR boost and used 10-bit HLG with high bitrate. ruclips.net/video/8xIkgTQBEvE/видео.htmlsi=C1o1qW61UHdO4hbx
@@captteemo9133 also, when you say overexposed, is that based on the image you see on the camera’s LCD screen? That screen doesn’t show all of the dynamic range.
@@360vroomers It is the image I see when I watch it in Qoocam Studio or with a photo viewer or when inside Quest 3 @360vroomers
@@360vroomers This is looking good bit it is hard to compare since it is not real 360. Could you upload an image or so? Handheld and somewhere under trees while sun is shining
Yes I can upload if you message me on Facebook or email me at mic at 360rumors.
Mike, thanks for this review but I haven't seen anything about the possibilities of flying over water.
Yes, I do mountain biking but also a lot more sailing and even kayaking which are my favorite sports. I would like to see tests in these conditions... 😊
@@PP3D hey Paul just to clarify this isn’t a review. I only got to test the drone at the event, indoors and outdoors. One of the things I didn’t get to test was omniterrain (ability to fly over water) along with the other things I mentioned in the video. They said they’ll send me a unit for testing before end of sept. If they do, I’ll definitely test this.
@@360vroomers I will be very interested Mike. I can wait. 😊
That microphone you are using sounds like you have a cold.
Yup it was an inexpensive wireless mic because I was pressed for time and my Rode Wireless Go II was not charged. 😅 I appreciate the feedback. I'll do better next time.
Did you get a chance to find out about the extra object collision "vision" camera that the PRO MAX has? I read that they both have the time of flight sensor which should help with the object avoidance but the PRO MAX has a vision camera as well:
"Both the PRO and PROMAX have rear ToF (Time of Flight) proximity sensors while the PROMAX sports an additional visual sensor to keep you even safer. Currently the PRO and PROMAX support braking before collisions in speeds up to 3m/s."
I'm curious to know what that extra sensor does and if I really need it :)
@@WouterSchoot the extra sensor is a camera. You can see it in the part of the video where I showed the back of both drones. The promax has a camera whereas the pro only has a circle where the camera should be.
Using a drone that follows you as skier on official ski slopes unfortunately is not permitted in Europe.
I see. I’ve wondered about that too. If I recall correctly, I think they said they just showed it to the ski resort and the ski resort allowed it. Possibly because of the cage, which is very soft. In my review video for last year’s x1, I said it’s so safe compared to other drones. It can’t even rip a paper towel when I tried crashing into one.
off topic question for the owner of this channel- sorry, don't know your name
I'm thinking of getting a new camera but I'm confused. I have an original X1. I'm considering an X4, or a "real" camera with real lenses (sacrificing 360 of course), and my first "smart" phone. Since I've never had a smart phone- I have no idea how good the photography and video can be on them- the better ones of course. What I don't understand is how can a tiny lens on a smart phone compare to the bigger lenses on a good 360 camera or a "real" camera? I suspect that the tiny lens can't compete with big lenses in low light situations, but how about on a nice sunny day?
Hi Joe. Thanks for reaching out and I’m happy to guide you. (My name is Mic Ty btw.)
Can you share what kinds of videos you plan to capture. For example are you creating a RUclips channel where you will be vlogging a lot. Or are you creating a RUclips channel where you are mostly a talking head teaching things. Or is this for TikTok, Instagram, or something else. Depending on what videos you plan to create, I have different suggestions.
@@360vroomers Mic, hmmm... I'll have to ponder this so I respond effectively. Thanks for the fast reply. Back soon.
Mic, I forgot to add- I've never owned a smart phone- only ancient flip phones. So, I have no idea how good are smart phones for photography and especially video. Some people claim they're awesome. Some are 4K but I know that statistic doesn't prove anything. The lens is small so how good can it be compared to a camera with a much larger lens? Of course the more expensive smart phones will be better. Since I can't just try them out- it's tough to decide what to buy.
@@JoeZorzin smartphones have small sensors but for high end phones, the video quality is indistinguishable from dslr video, at least for lay persons. Make sure you look for a real comparison. There are many fake comparisons out there. Here's a legit comparison ruclips.net/video/KlnniPaDGDM/видео.htmlsi=oRFSROHVh6qMPjKd
Would one of these work for tracking my Jeep when im on the trail?
It's not certain. Hoverair was designed to track people. A car wouldn't normally be trackable but if you had a beacon ... then *possibly*. But there are no tests of the beacon yet so we don't know.
@@360vroomersWould tracking only based on the beacon assure that the subject is centered in the frame though ? I guess not.
Could tracking any object become possible with a future SW update ?
@epos_rising in all tracking modes, it tries to keep the subject in the middle of the frame. Users have requested the option for off-center tracking (eg rule of thirds for side tracking) and they’re working on it. Re stationary nonhuman subjects, it is currently possible on modes that can turn off tracking. For example, I used my x1 to orbit around a parked car. For moving nonhuman subjects, it MIGHT be possible with the beacon but no one knows yet until we test.
@@360vroomers Very promising, looking forward to these test results in the upcoming review, Thanks !
@@epos_rising anytime! Let me know if you have any other questions.
how far is the range of the normal flight modes?
@@ea2611 i don’t have it yet so if we assume that it’s the same as the X1 modes then it depends on the flight mode. For example if you do a “bird’s eye,” it can climb to 50 feet as it shoots the video. Or if you do orbit, the radius can be as short as 5 feet or as long as 30 ft. To get a better idea, pls see my review of last year’s X1: ruclips.net/video/S5mWwjEBNAc/видео.html

@@JING01201 anytime!
Is Beacon keyed off GPS or local accelerometer?
They’re very secretive about how their tracking works. I suspect it is GPS because they say you need to see an “Omniterrain symbol” to know that it’s working. That might be because it needs to acquire a GPS signal. But I don’t know for sure.

That’s my hopes too. I just ordered one for that exact reason. The tracking from the X1 looks pretty solid. Now with the upgraded camera and features, I decided to take the jump. I have a DJI 3 pro mini and the tracking is straight garbage for a motorcycle
@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures the main limits are predictable direction and speed. That’s why they don’t advertise tracking dogs for example, because dogs and other pets move too erratically. So I think the issue is how quickly and how predictable would your direction be and how fast would you be riding.
Title answer: No
For me: “It depends” 😁
