The Ideal DJI Mini Alternative? The HoverAir X1 (Self-Flying Camera)

In this video, I put the HoverAir X1 through its paces to see if it is a viable alternative to an actual proper drone. I also show some footage from a snowy moutain top camping trip! The HoverAir X1 is billed as a 'flying camera' and has several built in presets for creative shots, such as follow, orbit, bird's eye and more! Weighing well under 250g, there is no registration or license required to use this flying camera, furthermore it takes off from the palm of your hand, so no controller or app needed, although the app does give you extra functions and settings. Thanks to ZeroZero Robotics for giving me the opportunity to give this an honest review in return for a free camera. All footage filmed in this video was at 2.7K @ 30fps. Allow for some compression from YouTube. 🔗 Links: 👣 My Hiking, Camping & Vlog Gear: ⏲ Time Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:21 - HoverAir X1 specs 2:28 - How to use & test footage 3:02 - Zoom Out Mode 3:51 - Follow Mode 4:35 - Some Caveats 5:26 - Orbit Mode 6:35 - Bird Eye Mode 7:30 - Hover Mode 8:02 - HoverAir X1 App Tour 9:00 - Mountain footage montage 9:47 - Conclusion
