Delivering an interface convenient to explore, the HoverAir X1 departs from the approach opted for by other well-known drones like DJI.
The drone has an impeccable command over capturing diverse shots, including review photos, 360-degree GIFs, and overhead shots. All of that can be achieved just by using a touch button docked atop the drone. eliminating the need for a controller.
Not only is the drone ultra-lightweight and readymade for occasions that require instant usage, but its pocket-sized build makes it extremely portable.
To curtail the possibility of getting lost from the user, it has an autonomous capability in its software under the hood to return to the user before the battery dies.

By using these modes, users can lock the camera on a subject while the drone follows the preset flight paths to capture video or photos.
