But, as someone who has never used a drone, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
With its wings closed, it really is quite compact and could even fit into a small handbag.
And since it’s just 125 grams (about 4.4 ounces), it won’t weigh you down.
Charging was quite fastjust 35 minutes using the charging stationand the interface is simple enough for novice users.
The camera has just two buttons, power and a button to switch between usage modes.
As a beginner, the app’s Academy videos were helpful and easily explained the drone’s functionality.
The drone features seven automatic modes, as well as a manual mode.
Getting the drone moving is really as simple as pressing a button and holding out your hand.
The camera effortlessly takes off and while there is some noise, it’s nothing too distracting.
With the click of a button, any piece of film can be downloaded to your phone.
As for the battery time, after about 10 pre-programmed flights, I hit about 50%.
While I’d initially been nervous to test manual mode, it couldn’t have been easier.
TheHoverAir X1retails for $399, which includes the charging station and extra battery in addition to the camera.
The HoverAir X1 is a foldable flying camera that can fit in your handbag.
In manual mode, you have full creative freedom to take HD video and stills.
