This is such a wonderfully explained demo. Not only do we learn about the features of the drone, but we're taught film-making as well! Thank you Zdenka
Thank you. This probably is the best review/ tutorial out there. Helps a lot. ❤
Wow! galing nmn ni Mam mag explain..tnx for reviews
Thanks for the video. I've seen a bunch of Hoverair reviews and yours included so much more detail in a clear and understandable way. Appreciate the info.
I’m glad you found the video helpful. Thank you very much for your support.
Love your videos. Just got a HoverAir X1. They're crazy! Thanks for the tips.
Of all the HoverAir videos I have watched, this was the only one focused on settings and how to take interesting shots in the different modes. 👏👏 Thanks.
Thank you, your video shows full quality of hoverairx1 camera, and I’m hooked 🙏👍
That is a fantastic video, that has taught me a lot.
A big thanks from the Skill School in the UK.
Thanks for this video. I have been on the line if I should get one. And your video gave me a little bit more of clarity.
You are very welcome…. It is fun drone just to give you heads up the battery doesn’t last long.. about 10 min
Thank you for your video. I have learned so much! I recently purchased the Hover Air X 1, and at first I was doing all the boring, basic set ups. Now I am having so much fun because of your help! Keep teaching us. My show will be so much better because of you!
I’m very happy the video helped you. Once you try those lower angles mainly you will really like them. Enjoy your little hover.
great video,, very interesting and will help me on my new settings .
I am glad you like this video… once you change the settings, you will see massive difference. Have fun.
Lovely video thanks, I have just bought a hover air looking forward to seeing what it does,thanks for the tips
Helpful and very enjoyable, thank you! My Hover is ordered and should complement my Mini3 Pro very well!
Thank you for your video and for helping with these tips. I recently bought it and with your advice I will put them into practice. Greetings from Colombia.
Thank you for all the tips...... I have a DJI Mini 2 and just ordered the X!
Hi Zdenka. Thanks again for the great tutorial. When you first introduced me to the Hoverair this past summer, I was quite intrigued. I ended up ordering my own and just picked it up yesterday in Michigan while visiting my dad in Sarnia. I am anxious to get it out flying and taking videos where I don't need the help of my daughter manning a camera. I suspect it will be a great tool as I create my content, especially my Santa persona this Christmas. Cheers.
You are very welcome. Yes this little thing has a permanent spot in my camera bag. It’s really easy to use and very convenient. Have fun with it.
Thank you so much, your videos are always to the point and so helpful! I just got the Hover X1, so far I really like it and you just solved some of the things I was sorta on the fence about, I didn't know you could increase the meter 🙂 thanks!
I like using my Hover Air for parts of vlog videos... mostly for variety. Its so easy to use! Also used it for an ebike review recently. Again, so easy to use for basic follow me and dolly pan shots.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience… yes I agree it’s super easy to use
Appreciate your follow-up tutorial on advanced features. Got Epidemic Sound recently. Warming up to get Hover X-1 next. Thanks!
You are very welcome…. I hope you are liking Epidemic Sound… wishing you an amazing weekend
I Always love watching your videos thanks for sharing the new tips will use them for sure..
As always, very well done and informative. This drone has its place. For now, I’m following your guidance on faux drone shots with my monopod and/or gimbal.
Thank you so much for for sharing your thoughts. I’m quite sure you can take some lesson out of this as some of those low angles can be absolutely done with the gimbal.
I have the Mini 3 Pro and just ordered the Hover 1x! Great video by the way!
Your tips are always simple, effective and so informative …👌🏾
I am looking forward to that next tutorial ( an iPad version too 🙏🏽 ) so I can impress my relatives with festive wishes videos … Gosh, that’s a mouthful 😅
Have a lovely week-end Zdenka.
Ahoj … 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Thank you so much for saying hello.. yes the tutorial is in the works.. have a great weekend as well
I got the hover air for Christmas! Tried it out a bit! Ideal for my behind the scenes photoshoot stuff
Thank you for sharing, the additional settings possible in the phone app give this drone a lot more versatility. Now if I could only get used to how loud it is for such a small drone.
Really good video. Very clear and helpful
Thank you so much for your support. I’m glad you found the video helpful.
Greetings Zdenka😊 I absolutely love your tutorials and video editing skills along with your awesome choice of background music. Thank you so much for the in-depth review on all the specs and tips for this new amazing piece of technology. I just got my HoverX1 and look forward to producing some fun and creative content. Truly look forward to more wonderful videos from your channel as I am now a loyal subscriber. May I also compliment that you are amazingly beautiful😊
Thank you very much for your support. I’m glad you liked the video. Thank you for such a positive feedback. Have a great day
This video helped me decide to buy it. Thank you so much. I love your reviews.
@@ZdenkaDarula Hi Zdenka, I'm still waiting for it arrive and I'm so excited that I have rewatched this video 4 times now. I wonder if this is meant to be use solo-mode? As in just for one person and in spaces/environments where there is nobody else? Like, if I'm with a group of people, will it follow me or them or will not not follow and confuse itself and collapse?
Nice I appreciate how much time and effort you put into your tutorials as I know it ain't easy and I might end up getting it as I think it's less intrusive and not so intimidating to onlookers too 😊❤
Thank you so much for your support. Yes there is a lot of work involved in producing only one video…. But comments like these are what keeps me going.., have a great day
Finally got mine, and thanks to getting the 3 battery version, I couldn’t put it down until I finished them all! WOW, I mean right out of the box (after charging) I went one mode after another to get them all in. Because of your great definition of them, it was an awesome first flight experience! Even looked like a pro to my neighbor because it just arrived the day before! Thanks so very much! Great post!
You are very welcome. Looks like you’re having a lot of fun with the little hover… enjoy
Like that new Bike. Have a safe and great time. The drone is simple enough for me.
Thanks so much for this…I can’t see myself getting a drone that goes higher and farther but this would do the trick for many many occasions!!
Thank you very much. I am thinking about getting one of these for my channel and it looks like just what I need. You always explain things very well. I don't really need fancy drone shots for motorcycle footage when traveling or at rallies. Maybe Santa will get me one.😎
You are very welcome. I am exactly on the same boat. To be honest I have DJI drone here, but I never flew it since I got this one. I simply don’t need it. I just need only a few shots here and there nothing fancy. So this might work for you if you are very similar to what I do.
This video is so helpful to get a beginner going in the right direction for worthy B-roll shots. Thank you❗In your experience, how long does the X1 retain settings changes you make with the app? Forever? Until it turns off? Until a battery is removed? Thanks.
You have to always connect to the app to change the settings. Only custom mode will stay the same.
Thank you for a great tutorial! Do you know any way of using portrait mode while in manual?
Although I have little interest in this drone, this is an excellent tutorial.
Thank you. My camera comes tomorrow and now I have a better idea how to use it form my enjoyment. Great job on how you explained everything.
This is very well explained, you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much.
@@ZdenkaDarula I wish I discovered your channel earlier, I could have used your help on one of my silent movies😀
Great helpful to know what this device can do and how to get what I want from it.
HoverAir is a great idea for the backpackers travel alone. Light weight, quick and easy to take out and shoot. But the camera quality is a little bit cheap and the price I think is too high. Hoping other brands can release some similar products.@@ZdenkaDarula
Wow! Where have you been filming these beautiful locations? So nice! - Thank you for sharing all your insights! I think I just might get one for myself...
Hi Zdenka, great review of the HoverAir X1. I have the X1f and love it because you can pull it out of you pocket and get those quick shots, kind of like the Go 2 or Go 3. As far as drones, my now go to drone is the Mini 4 Pro. Although I have most of the other DJI drones and not to mention the Skydio. Just wish I could get out a little more often but due to my wife's Cancer condition it pretty much stay home for now.... Thanks Dave....
First of all, I’m very sorry to hear about your wife and her illness. I’m wishing you both everything the best and tons of health. Thank you for sharing about the drone. I have DJI and I finally just updated everything and I’m the same like you I don’t have time to get out and shoot. This thing is really helpful.
I just bought the hover air x1, waiting for it to come soon.
I own two more drones, a mini 3 pro and the great avata, begineer at acro mode and passionate lover.
Thanks for your video. Learned from it.
Hi👋 what a awesome explaination how to make better shots with the X1. Thnx for that! I heard it is possible to make slow motion shots.Can you tell me how does this works?
I am not sure about slow motion…. I’ll have to check if there is new update
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can you tell me where I can download Desktop version if Capcut
Ahoj Zdeňka, thank you for some helpfull tips for using drone. I hope my Mini 4 will be it possible to use too. GJ, take care in 2024.
Wow thank you so much for explaining how to create good looking shots. Were you by any chance associated with a Film Production studio?
@@ZdenkaDarula ok because the way you explained the methodology to shoot the videos, I thought you might have been part of a studio to gain that kind of knowledge. But anyway thank you. Very valuable information to get good cinematic shots.
Nice tips
How to make the video in reels mode.not youtube? Coz when I downloaded my clip.its on CZcams mode
Great video Zdenka. What was the maximum distance , when you lost Wifi contact, how high did it get? And how did you get contact again?
It’s gonna go only up to 12m I think…. I just have to bring my arms higher so it reconnect with the Wi-Fi.
Thank you for sharing Best Settings and Advance Modes. Just asking if the HoverAir X1 can record two people or with group around 3-10 people.
Thanks again.
I have noticed it only follows 1 person even if more people are around
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you very much for the reply and information . Again you and your video tutorials are so helpful and inspiring.
Thanks for the great review.
I understand that this is not good for a water sports but Is there anyway to make it fly over water? Perhaps the zoom out mode, or, maybe Manual? I was thinking of a push in from the sea or lake to the shore to reveal the person.
Thanks
It has to see the ground otherwise it is going to crash or return. Snow and water is a big no no… it doesn’t use gps. I tried water and it immediately returned to me
@ZdenkaDarula interesting. I've seen a few videos of people skiing with one and one guy, even manually flying it over his pool, but I think only buying one will I find out its limits for my use. Anyahoo, thanks for answering
Thank you! What happens when the drone is in manual mode and exceeds its range. Is it lost or does it find its way back? Or is it smart enough not to exceed its range?
It just stops and hover in the air until you come closer and it reconnects with your phone. I tested it and will never push it that high again
Thank you Zdenka, very informative as usual. I have a question. I would like to use this drone for filming a product I've developed for interior finishing in houses. My product is a sandpaper for vacuum sanding drywall and I would like to have the drone focus on the tool rather than me. If that is possible I wonder if I can also create a shot where the drone backs away form the work, out a sliding glass door and rises to get an elevated view of the house. Or is that getting too complicated?
Yes… for these types of shots I would get normal drone as this doesn’t do well with uneven surfaces… it would have to be flown manually… it can only track people
I like your videos. Guessing you are from Czechoslovakia ( so am I). I can record voice on my unit , voice recording is on in settings. Any advice? Thanks, Milan
Ano narodila jsem se v České republice ale většinu života bydlím v kanadě… Bohužel nevím na dálku takhle poradit protože bych to musela vidět. Jestli máte Android tak tam můžou být problémy. Ta aplikace musí být pořád otevřená aby se dalo nahrávat zvuk přes mobil
Hi Zdenka, thanks for this great review. I am a painter and I also like to draw in a sketchbook outdoor and indoor. Do you think the Hover is an appropriate tool to film myself while painting or drawing? Thank you 😊 🎨
You are very welcome. You could get some shit here and there, but it doesn’t fly too long. Keep that in mind. One battery lasts 10 minutes.
Are you able to make it spin in Birds Eye as it rises? Or did you do that in post production?
None of the shirts you saw were done in post. Those are all done with this drone, so yes, you can certainly do the spin.
@ 5:47 i think i overheard the HoverAir X1 ask, "Can i get an order of Fries to go with that Shake?!" :) *Great video showcase, Zdenka* thank you
Hello Zdenka. I’ve been following your videos and each one is great. Thank you for your clear explanations. I have 1 question I’m hoping you can answer 🤞. What type of plug is everyone using to achieve a 35 min charge. I’ve tried a normal usb plug to fit the cable provided - each battery took nearly 3 hours. I tried a usb plug 15w - each battery took almost 2 hours. I’ve tried a USB C to USB C 20w and each battery took 1 hour. I’m so delighted with the camera but disappointed that the suitable plug was not also in the box.
Any links to what everyone has had success with would really be appreciated. Thanking you in advance. Mary.
Thank you so much for your support. I am a very sorry, but I’m not sure what plug it is. I actually haven’t heard about it.
Do you think I will be able to use my iPhone 8 SE for these advanced settings?
Best camera setting for reels? It seems the size of the video is too small? Could do a video on this 😊
It would be the same… reels are best at 1080p…. Instagram treats it better
Thank you for your explanation, but can you please tell me what the rc button is for using manual mode ? I couldn´t find anything about it ?
That stands for a remote control. I’ve seen that they are selling some third-party remote control on the market.
Thanks for ur video im kinda confused as i do a zoom out it gets it done but when i see the video only shows zooming in the part where zooms out is missing am i doing something wrong ?thanks
There should be two videos saved one is zooming in, and the other one is zooming out
Great video. What happens when there are other people around? Does the drone get confused?
We were 3 of us and it only followed 1 person.. but we weren’t too close together… I would have to really test it
Hi Zdenka. How are you. I just want to ask if i need a memory card for hover x1?
No there is no memory card… it is all internal and then you upload it to your smartphone via their app … have a great upcoming weekend
Nice prototype...can't wait for V2 to arrive...2.7K 30fps is ok...oversharpened...too bad. However it's a bit expensive. I only have a mavic mini and it's ok for quick shots to set up a location shot (weddings etc), but I find that I can't fly it in most areas in Toronto...this is a selfie drone I understand so getting shots of other people is a bit complicated without a controller.I'm sure the technology will evolve for V2.
So......just got my hoverair x1 and took some shots. Discovered your video. Realizing the hover has to be connected for me to go into settings....correct?
Can i do snapshot while using video mode
Unfortunately, no… but you could take out the frame as a snapshot in the video editing software
I ordered mine and plan to take it to the Maldives. But as you mentioned, there is a lot of water. Did you try it over water? What happens?
You cannot fly it over the water… it doesn’t have gps, it is different system and might drop over water
Mini Pro 3 love it
Do you think your drone would be good for a young child (8yrs)…???
8yrs?… might be too early… when I was testing it with 14 years old, she got extra scared here and there as it was getting a bit too close to her…. It has a cage, so nohing should really happen.. but still.. it is a bit loud so it can be scary
Would be great if they added a lateral tracking option. But I’m guessing the problem would be obstacle avoidance.
Yeah, it would be a great option…. They avoidance might be a problem… you are right
HoverAir is a great idea for the backpackers travel alone. Light weight, quick and easy to take out and shoot. But the camera quality is a little bit cheap and the price I think is too high. Hoping other brands can release some similar products. Maybe mini 2 or 3 can just upgrade their software to get those functions?
in my app their is no joystick to control its not showing those buttons what can i do to bring them
I’m sorry I cannot see what you are doing there so it’s hard to help.. It is under manual flying
I used dolly track for the first time and the drone flew away from me and I had to go looking for it 😭 i'm scared to test it again. Were my parameter settings wrong? I'm not sure why it happened. I thought i'd lost it.
This is extremely strange because there is a maximum distance. It should not have happened to go far away from you.
wow thank you!!! I've watched dozens of review on the Hover X1 as I just purchased it and you're the ONLY one that explains how to create more interesting shots using the app. now I am even more convinced I've made the right choice. I rarely write reviews but you are by far the BESt one I've seen on that product.
Thank you so much. I am glad the video helped. I am using it lots myself
Helped a lot. Thank you
Thats true she explained everything i need ..and im going to buy one ❤❤
