>> All right guys, if you're in the market

for any extra drone or your first drone,

this is a video. This is a Hover Air X1

Pro Max. Well, this is a third version

of the drone. They launched it in the

previous. This is the latest model. And

I'm going to tell you who should buy

this drone and who should stay away from

it. I fly this drone a lot. I crashed it

a lot. And I'm going to share my honest

opinion about this drone. So, previous

models it was a very successful. A lot

of people loved it. A lot of people

hated because they were using for the

wrong environment, right? So, now in

this 2025, this is was best innovation

with a 4K camera self-flying drone.

Reason why I say that, when you receive

the the drone, packaging box, everything

is like a legit top-notch. When you

remove first time the drone itself, this

is a pocket less than 250 g drone. And

you're not going to respect and you're

not going to love it a lot. It looks

like a high-quality flying the drone

toy, right? Nothing else. Like you

usually when your drone it has to be big

and solid heavy, right? This is very

lightweight. And as you can see, it

packs 8K camera. So, every time you fly

this drone, you're going to start loving

it and you're going to start respecting

it how this drone is acts, like acts

like a person, like trained person. So,

it comes with the 15 plus preset flying

mode. And everything is a super easy to

navigate, super easy to use, right? So,

you don't need any remote controllers,

any other second person. This drone it's

going to make all the work itself by

himself, right? So, you're going to turn

on the drone, ready set. So, before I

turn on this drone, let's cover just the

how's it built and fit and finish

quality. These plastics, when you touch,

it's going to be like a little bit

movie. They include where where's that

part? I don't know. They include the

small part. You try to break it, but

actually very tough tough unit. And a

huge plus, the company sells the

propellers to separate and the propeller

cage separate. So, if you break it and

the crash, you can order and replace it.

The parts availability is like a number

one for me when I'm buying something.

Actually, I crashed so many times,

didn't even except these scratches,

didn't even happen anything. So, I can

crash this drone in the high speed

multiple times, nothing going to happen.

And trust me, you will crash this drone

when you start learning. So, now a

couple pluses and minuses I'm going to

cover. As you can see, it's updating

now. Just I installed update. They

constantly pushing the updates. That's

really really good. So, now the reason

why it's going to be your favorite drone

is the pocket size. You can just throw

in your pocket where where any place,

any place you're going. And when you

want to just to shoot the scenario, you

just open it, you fly the drone, and

it's going to be your cameraman. It's

flying entire your vision. So, now it's

a lot of people is mistaking the cycling

the modes, right? Which mode is going to

be better in that which scenario? So,

the cycling mode is a perfect when you

cycle faster action. Drones it moves a

lot faster to side to side, looks to the

side to side. So, if you're jogging or

you're walking, you're doing a walk kind

of stuff, follow mode it's going to be

perfect. It's very smooth and nice

cinematic shots with the 8K video. So,

the modes it's going to be 15 different

modes. I'm going to cover on the videos.

I will put insert all the other modes in

it. So, all the modes is works flawless.

And it comes back to where the drone is

starts. That's my favorite feature. So,

you don't need to, you know, the wait

the the drone is where is the flying.

You don't need to controls anything like

that. So, by itself, the drone itself,

you can make a lot of videos, a lot of

good contents just a drone itself. So,

now the camera. My Sony camera is a four

five times more money than this. And

it's a 4K recording. It's going to be

overheated all the time. So, I have to

wait. 8K camera, I never had any issues.

It records flawless without any issues,

without any surprisingly well. In 8K

video, it records up to 60 frames per

second from 24, 30, 60 frames per

second. So, it works good. So, you don't

need the mostly time 8K videos, but

just, you know, landscape like doing

that crazy shots. But 4K videos, it goes

up to 120, 24 frames, 25 frames, 30

frames, 60 frames, 120 frames per

second. And you can do the slow motions.

That's huge who makes sport contents,

right? You running, you jumping on the

dirt bikes, all that stuff. I lost a lot

of the videos because I format I told

I'm going to formatting my SD card. I

format built-in memory. This drone has a

64 GB built-in memory and 1 TB SD card

you can insert it and you can record

inside. So, the videos it's going to be

just, you know, the separate videos. All

the videos is going to be in the file.

Now, if you want to record the audio,

has a feature to recording the audio,

too. So, that's great.

So, now let's let's cover the batteries.

Yeah.

You just turn on. It's going to be modes

on and that's it. Let's cover the

batteries. It comes with the two

batteries for me, right? As you can see,

I put the upside down battery. Each

battery is going to last around 15,

depending what kind of scenario you're

shooting.

16 16 minutes is the maximum time.

30 minutes of footage. It's one day

footage is going to be more than enough,

right? Or if you want to do the

continuous recording, you can just order

one more battery. And I'm going to show

you in the future how to unlimited time

have the the batteries, right? You can

insert this battery here. And you have a

fast charger. You can connect a fast

charger. Until you flying two batteries,

the one battery is going to be fully

charged. From 18%. Usually I remove the

batteries from the 18% to 100% is going

to take 40 minutes in this charging

unit. If you leave the battery inside

this charging unit, it's going to be

eating up the battery. That's why when I

finish the charge, okay. You press it

here, it's going to be show the battery.

25%. So, I when I finish, I put the

upside down like this. So, battery is

going to keep 100% all the time. If you

leave the battery inside the drone, also

it's going to be eating up the battery

for some reason. So, I I like to remove

the batteries when I'm not using long

periods of time. Let's get back to the

drone.

Drone itself, it's going to give you a

lot of options. So, now super easy. You

remove your from your pocket, you just

turn on. And you have a hover mode here.

The hover mode, you just lift the drone,

you set up here. As you can see, track.

You can lift it up the hover mode a

certain distance.

So,

certain distance. And it's going to

drone it looks on the sky and no no

matter where you're going to walk.

Actually, when you walk on the series,

the drone is going to be just looking at

you and the track where you go. That's

so, from the top shot or the elevation

you set up where how how high it's going

to be the drone. It's going to stay

there. It's going to be just passed by,

nice pass bys. Or you walk around. So,

it's going to be another camera here.

So, when you're done, you stop it, you

pull your hands out. So, it's going to

be drone comes back and it lands to your

hand. So, here you're going to change

the the modes.

That zoom out, it's going to be just

goes. As you can see, I have a 20 ft
