HOVERAir · X1 PROMAX

X1 PROMAX The 8K camera that flies itself.

The world's first 8K flying action camera. Launch it from your palm, and X1 PROMAX follows you at up to 26 mph while you ride, ski or run, filming in 8K/30 or 4K/120 slow motion on a 1/1.3-inch sensor. No controller, no phone, no flying skills needed. Everything you need to start is in the box: the camera, a battery and a USB-C cable.

Questions we get
about X1 PROMAX.

Straight answers before you order.

Do I need to register it with the FAA?

For recreational flying in the US, generally no: at 192 g it's under the 250 g registration threshold. You still need the free TRUST certificate, and commercial use requires Part 107. Always check local rules and no-fly zones.

Do I need a controller or my phone?

No. Pick a mode on the camera, launch from your palm and it flies itself. The Hover app adds settings, downloads and manual control, and the optional Beacon adds a live preview screen and longer range.

Is it waterproof?

No. With OmniTerrain on, it's designed to fly over water and snow to capture you near it, but it can't get wet.

Are there modes for skiing and cycling?

Yes. Beyond following from behind, the side or the front, X1 PROMAX has dedicated cycling and snow-sports modes tuned for how those activities move. Some follow more dynamically; others favor smoother video.

Can I fly it at a ski resort?

It's great on open slopes and trails, but every resort sets its own rules for drones. Check with yours before you take off. For cold days, add the Thermo Smart Battery and Power Case.

How long does a battery last?

About 16 minutes per battery, with one in the box. Any USB PD charger, power bank or car charger works. For longer days, add batteries and the Charging Hub, or get the Retail Combo with three batteries.

Can I adjust ISO and shutter?

Yes, in manual mode. PROMAX also shoots DNG photos and 10-bit HLG video for full control over color in editing.
