Thanks for the honest work Ken. The marketing company reached out to me a couple months ago to do a paid “review” of this thing. They made it clear that I was not to disclose in the video that it was a sponsored video. I declined and told them they what they are doing is not legal or ethical. Lots of YouTube channels did go ahead make sponsored videos which makes me question their ethics.

To put it simply, this is a revolutionary product for content creators! It’s not meant to compete with DJI or the like; it’s in a class of its own.

As far as price point - how can 3 batteries, a charger that keeps two batteries on the ready and a “flying camera”, that does exactly what you asked it to do…like FOLLOW YOU, for 350. dollars, over priced?!…

Personally, I love ‘the lil’ thing’! …and nobody paid me to say that either.

[damonhicks]

I bought this drone for a little under $350, and it came with 2 batteries and a charger. I'm impressed with what it offers. If you're a content creator, real estate photographer, or involved in street interviews and news stories, the voice-over capabilities are a game changer. However, it's not suitable for professional movie-making, unless it's for b-roll footage. If you're a mountain biker, travel journalist, or someone who wants different options, it's awesome. But if you're a dedicated drone enthusiast, you may find that this drone has some limitations. However, there is a large market for those in other fields. Each battery gives me about 10 minutes of flight time, but I haven't tested it in high winds or extreme temperatures, so those conditions may reduce the flight times. I'm a police officer and I not a paid endorser.😁

Your no bullshit filter is why we listen to you Ken - keep up the honest work :) also interesting hearing the inside story of what goes on with the review industry

[marton]

I like the whole concept of it. Its not meant to be a controlled drone

[ifitrollsrideit]

I just bought one of these to film myself practising jibbing on my bike. I've heard the X1 called a "toy" a few time but honestly what "non-toy" could you buy if you just want a tool to film yourself at low height?

It seems like most "professional" drones are actually used by people that enjoy flying them. That's not a knock, it seems like a pretty good hobby if that's what you're into. I just don't want to be planning shots or marking out waypoints, I just want to ride my bike better.

The image quality might be better on a DJI but that doesn't matter to me, I'll just delete it later anyway and no one else will ever see it.

ps You're dead on about the marking BS, thanks for standing up to it.

Looks like the DJI Neo will do very well once it’s released and Im confident in DJI’s track record of making solid products 👍🏽

[ricknoah]

It does voice over sound from your phone. Cancels out motor noise. Real time clean narration while you walk along. I use a windproof lavier mic instead of the phone mic. Works very well.

[rudy]

I will use this strictly this indoors… for chasing away flies.

[ChristiaanRoest]

Its definitely worth 300 dollars. I had to pay 500 euro for shipping it to the Netherlands. But i made 4k earnings with it only during my first month of use. I gave it to some clients to film them during their projects and they loved it. The quality is decent, especially after upscaling it to 4k with some pro ai tools. For people who just want to track themself or for making b-rol and easy shares on social media its quite useful imho.

[fonzieskatesurf]

I paid $399 with 2 batteries total and a charger, works great so far while skating on my penny board, love it. But the mic still trying to figure it out, been silent on me once it started flying

[trailzrock]

This is the perfect drone for me. Small as heck and easy to use. Perfect

[MrAjayz]

They have now released a new model called the HoverAir X1 Smart, its 99grams, smaller and this model no longer folds up.. it’s meant to be much stronger (maybe because it doesn’t fold). As far as I know it’s only available in china or Japan, but last week the emailed an international offer, which I managed to get one. The only reviews on YouTube are not in English.

[EspenJohan]

This makes you much more credible than many other channels. For social media this will be a good product

[hummerzdca]

Yeah, I got one a while ago. Got a price reduction on it, but for what it does, small size, and available settings, it’s turned out to be not bad. It does lots without much setup, so I just write off the cost with what it does, fits in a pocket, follows me around the house and the block, so turns out worth it. Thanks for the post.

[sibertiger]

Well up here in Canada its $649! So beat that!
They had a price drop of $100 plus i had a $38 Amazon coupon so i got one... yep expensive....but for me, it's simply a flying camera and fits a niche that I'm ok with. Sometimes you just want a quick photo from the sky without having to go through all the setup of other drones and this one is up in the air in 30secs....any DJI takes you a good 10mins to get it up and ready. I have three DJI drones of various sizes and im actually taking this Hover with me everyday just in case i want a quick shot of something from the sky. When i have time and do serious flight, then the DJIs come out. But again, is just a flying camera and its great and anyone can use it without training, without practice. Quality is good enough. No one notices what camera you used on social media with all the down sizing anyway so who cares?

[RonaldBrown]

It actually does seem to work very well, for what it is. And I might actually consider getting one to mess around, but as mentioned in the video, it just seems a little overpriced. And I don't what I would use it for, except some B-roll shots. Great review, and thanks for keeping it real about the sponsorship requests. Thanks for sharing, Ken.

[gimpman]

Waiting for DJI to make something similar/better and sell it for $199.99 including 2 batteries and a case

Quick info about first and third person. In a first person story, the storyteller is talking about themselves. In a third person, the storyteller is talking about someone else. In that situation, the second person is you, the person who the storyteller is talking to.

[Droneboy-]

I have one of these I had it three weeks but soon fell out of love with it .
Limited use for me think they could have put a lot more in the model for the massive cost
Sold mine before it lost money
