They say that the best camera is the one that’s on you. I find this incredibly accurate when it comes to drones too. This ultra-compact and pocketable drone makes carrying a drone less of a chore and more likely to be with you when out-and-about. Don’t let the tiny size fool you. The Hoverair X1 Pro Max sports a lot of the same features you find on larger drone models including 8k video, gimble stabilization, programmed flight modes and total manual control if needed (more on this later). What sets this drone apart is the fact you don’t need a remote or phone to operate. The phone app does make downloading your videos or pics easier, fine tuning the flight programs and firmware updates. But aside from that, you can easily operate the drone without pulling out your phone. Simply unfold, power on, select the program and start capturing the moment. It does take 20ish seconds to fully turn on, which is lightning fast compared to traditional drones. The 15 automatic flight modes/programs are what makes this drone possible without the need for a remote. The modes mirror a lot of the other flight modes from major drone companies including hover, spiral, zoom out, and tracking. The tracking mode can track you from the back, front and even side. Within most modes, you can choose how close you want the shot and if you want the angle to be flat or high. The screen on the top of your drone tells you everything you need to know and can easily be read in direct sun. While in tracking mode, the hoverair had no issues keeping up with my bike going 20 mph. Not only are there automatic flight modes, you do have an option to use your phone as a manual control too. Not the same distance you will find on larger drones with dedicated remotes but 100 ft is nothing to complain from this size of a drone. Perfect for aerial stills. My only negative is the app. It’s not the most intuitive to use and lacks a lot of editing tools you find from other action cameras. Hoverair’s app video editing is very mediocre. No music list to choose from to add to your videos. My work-around for this is to edit the exports in other action camera apps so you can post your video to your socials. To keep things light, the battery life is very short. Probably 10-15 min of straight use. Having multiple batteries will help. Multiple sensors will help mitigate some crashes but I have crashed the drone while it was following me in the woods. Little branches will crash a lot of drones but this drone touts its durability so crash away! In summary, this drone does it all, with or without a phone and remote. Ultra-portability makes it a bit more enticing to carry in my jacket pocket when I’m out. It’s super fun and the quality of the videos and stills are shockingly good for a small sensor camera. I highly recommend this.

I love how fast you can start capturing content with the pre set settings. I feel like I have my own personal camera man.
