Like all Hover products, the HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX are designed to be safe, easy, and fun to fly.  Take it out of your pocket, unfold it, and launch an automated flight mode in seconds with the press of a button. 

No need for a controller or phone to capture beautiful dynamic shots.

Go above and beyond professional standards with the X1 PROMAX’s 8K camera powered by a 1/1.3” CMOS and 14 stop of dynamic range. With 4 times more pixels than 4K, you can record epic views in exquisite detail. And for those action shots, the PROMAX shoots in 4K@120fps for those perfect slo-mo moments.

The X1 PRO supports 4k@60fps and 1080p@120fps.

The PRO and PROMAX both have a two-axis gimbal with EIS (electronic image stabilization) and HL (horizon leveling), so your footage will be rock steady even when the adventure is rough.

The X1 PRO and PROMAX are designed to keep up with you no matter your adventure, from our littlest explorers to the professional athletes among us. They boast top follow speeds of up to 26mph (42km/h) and can continue tracking you in short bursts up to 37mph (60km/h).

So what are you waiting for? Let’s go!

The X1 PRO’s 104° FOV lens and the PROMAX’s 107° FOV lens provide extra dynamism in your shots.

In addition to follow mode, you can launch a variety of flight modes on the HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX with the press of a button. Simply use the selection buttons to select the flight mode you want, press take-off and go!

Classic flight modes like Hover, Zoom Out, Bird’s Eye, and Orbit will capture dynamic cinematic moments, while Follow, Side Follow, and Dolly Track are perfect for action shots. More flight modes are on the roadmap and will be rolled out with future updates.

The HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX utilize a system of onboard sensors and proprietary sensor fusion for reliable positioning and motion planning on any terrain. Embrace freedom as you take your X1 PRO and PROMAX with you anywhere adventure calls.

Take the X1 PRO and PROMAX with you to the furthest corners of the earth. Both can fly in altitudes up to 18000 feet (5500m) and level 5 wind speeds of up to 24mph (39km/h).

The Beacon allows you to stay connected with your X1 PRO or PROMAX with a 1km transmission range. The 1.78” OLED display lets you monitor your footage so you don’t need to turn back and check on your HOVER, and it can be mounted on your handlebars or clipped to a jacket.

With HoverLink™, your HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX utilize signals from the Beacon to augment their visual tracking algorithms. This gives you higher-precision tracking in challenging light conditions or when you are occluded.

Our tri-state JoyStick gives you three ways to play and triple the fun. Clip the Beacon onto the right-hand JoyStick for one-handed control. If you’re in the mood to pilot, clip on the left-hand JoyStick and attach your mobile phone for full two-handed control.  We also offer high precision control sticks.

All configurations of the JoyStick support up to 1km video transmission.

The PowerCase was designed with the ski slopes in mind, but will keep you charged up no matter where you’re going. It holds over two additional charges and functions in temperatures as low as -4℉ (-20°C). Slip your device in at the bottom of a run and it’ll charge up while you’re in line and on the lift. Your X1 PRO or PROMAX will automatically go into sleep mode so you can get flying again immediately. 

Let’s take a case study! On a 5 minutes run, you’ll expend about 30% of your battery. Assuming 15 minutes in line and on the lift, the PowerCase will have you fully charged up again. That means with continuous charging over the day, you’ll get over 50 minutes of flight time on one battery or 10 runs!

Yes, we’ve really thought of everything. This all-in-one Carry Bag can be worn over the shoulder or mounted on your bike frame. It’ll fit your X1 PRO or PROMAX (including PowerCase) and accessories as well! Just grab and go.

Both the PRO and PROMAX have rear ToF (Time of Flight) proximity sensors while the PROMAX sports an additional visual sensor to keep you even safer. Currently the PRO and PROMAX support braking before collisions in speeds up to 1.5m/s and 3m/s.

Our propellor guards are made of specially engineered HEM (Highly-Elastic Material) to provide maximum elasticity and durability while maintaining structural integrity. It is lighter than carbon fiber with a density of 0.96g/cm³ compared with 1.8g/cm³.

Our custom designed propellers are designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency while minimizing noise.

Our devices endure dust, heat, cold, salt, humidity, drops and more to ensure quality and reliability.  From being kept in temperatures from -40°C to 70°C to being dropped 3000 times, these things are tough! The power button is tested 100,000 times and the devices are subjected to 100N of pressure, so you can bet it will keep working!

The corresponding HOVERAir X1 app allows you to configure flight modes, download and share content, launch manual control, and much more!
