About this item
Written by Crutchfield's Colin M.
The HOVERAir X1 is a pocket-sized smart camera that can fly with the press of a button.
Get flying fast and capture 2.7K video — with no controller
The HOVERAir X1 is an ultra-light 2.7K flying camera that folds up and fits in your pocket. There's a collection of buttons on top of the drone, each dedicated to a preset intelligent flight path. Press one, then watch as the X1 takes off from your hand and performs a series of aerial maneuvers automatically. Walk up to the drone hovering in the air when you're done and position your palm under it to have the drone land right back in your hand.
Extra air time
This X1 Combo bundles the drone with an extra battery and charging hub to keep you flying longer. In this case, a little preparation means more fun in the long run.
Multiple intelligent flight paths
Using the preset flight paths, you can direct the X1 to hover in place, intelligently follow a moving subject, circle around a subject in a wide orbit, zoom out to steadily reveal your surroundings, or provide a top-down bird's-eye perspective. These paths make it a cinch to capture cool-looking footage of your outdoor adventures, whether you're hiking on your own, camping with the family, or just want to snag a fancy selfie.
Take control with your smartphone
If you want to take custom shots, you can pilot the drone manually with an easy-to-use smartphone app. You just need to unlock the manual mode first with a few test flights using the intelligent flight paths. There are plenty of settings to tinker with, too, like the flying distance and height used by the drone while orbiting or following a subject. You can also download, export, and share your videos with the drone community directly from the app.
