HoverAir X1 PRO review: the ultimate selfie drone x

HoverAir X1 PRO & PROMAX: one-minute review

With all the recent hype surrounding the launch of the DJI Neo, we can’t forget that it was the HoverAir X1 that originally delivered highly effective and, indeed, exciting selfie drone functionality to the mainstream. Building on the success of the HoverAir X1, ZeroZero Robotics has created two new models aimed at more demanding users, with upgraded cameras, improved performance and some interesting new accessories.

The HoverAir X1 PRO and HoverAir X1 PROMAX are more advanced models that will sit alongside the original HoverAir X1. So, this puts more advanced selfie drones at a total of four to choose from. I’ve flown and reviewed both the DJI Neo and the HoverAir X1, and although both are fantastic drones, for me it’s the HoverAir drones that excel in this niche yet growing corner of the drone market.

With camera drones and FPV drones dominating, the success of selfie drones is a welcome surprise, and they offer something different. The HoverAir X1 PRO is aimed at snow sports and cycling, while the higher-end HoverAir X1 PROMAX is aimed at professional content creation. However, both perform equally well in those scenarios, so cost and camera requirements will be the deciding factor for many people.
