Drones have looked the same for some time, but things changed with the arrival of the HoverAir X1. Even the market leader, DJI, sat up and paid some attention (in the form of the DJI Neo). Now Zero Zero robotics are back with premium offerings – a Pro and ProMax, the latter boasting 8K video – and they go on general sale today.
8K video is a strong start – most of the best camera drones don't push past 4K resolution without pushing the price over $1000 (US) – but it's not the only spec that shines from the X1 ProMax spec sheet. The ability to capture at 4K 120 FPS – slow-motion brilliance – or 4K 60fps in 10-bit HLG is also attention-grabbing.
