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.
X1 PROMAX isn't a drone you fly. It's a camera that flies itself. Pick a mode, hold it out, and let it go.
Airborne in under 3 seconds, with no remote and no learning curve.
Built-in mic and speaker for commands like instant voice takeoff.
15x the NPU power of the original X1 keeps you locked in frame at speed.
Follow, Orbit, Bird's Eye, Zoom Out, Side Track, Slo-Mo and dedicated cycling and ski modes.
Guards all around, so it's safe to launch and catch by hand.
A large 1/1.3-inch sensor and a 107° ultra-wide lens give X1 PROMAX the best image quality in the HOVERAir lineup, with pro formats for editing.
An upgraded aerodynamic frame and custom motors let X1 PROMAX keep up with bikes and skis, and its terrain smarts keep it steady over water, snow and cliffs.
Bursts up to 37 mph (60 km/h) for short sprints.
Water, snow and cliff ready, even over surfaces that confuse other drones.
Reliable tracking in low light.
Holds steady in winds up to 24 mph (10.7 m/s).
Flies at up to 5,500 m for mountain trips.
A real gimbal for steady shots when the ride gets rough, and a frame built to take the knocks that come with action sports.

Mechanical stabilization plus EIS and horizon leveling for pro-grade footage, even in strong wind and fast action.

Aerospace-grade Highly Elastic Material, lighter than carbon fiber and flexible enough to absorb drops and collisions. Noise-reducing propellers inside.
Rear ToF proximity sensors plus an extra visual sensor on PROMAX brake before collisions at up to 3 m/s.
Tested from -40 °C to 70 °C, dropped 3,000 times, and checked against dust, salt and humidity. The power button is tested 100,000 times.
One Smart Battery comes in the box. Planning a full day on the slopes or the trail? Add batteries and the Charging Hub, or step up to the X1 PROMAX Retail Combo with three batteries, the hub and a case.
1,920 mAh Smart Battery with intelligent BMS.
Three batteries for about 48 minutes, plus the hub and a case.
Sold separately. Two batteries at once in about an hour.
Any USB PD charger, power bank or car charger works.
Plus SD cards up to 1 TB, and Wi-Fi 6 transfers at up to 1.2 Gbps.
X1 PROMAX doesn't need a controller, but the optional Beacon and JoySticks unlock more, especially for cycling and long-range shots.
1.78" OLED touchscreen to preview footage, adjust settings and pick flight modes.
Stay connected up to 1 km away.
High-precision tracking for fast, tricky terrain.
Responsive manual flying when you want to fine-tune every shot.
All three fold, launch from your palm and fly themselves. PROMAX is the flagship for image quality and action sports.

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.
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.
No. With OmniTerrain on, it's designed to fly over water and snow to capture you near it, but it can't get wet.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, in manual mode. PROMAX also shoots DNG photos and 10-bit HLG video for full control over color in editing.
