HoverAir X1 PROMAX review.

HowevAir has been the go-to selfie drone brand thanks to its lightweight, easy-to-control models, such as 2023’s HoverAir X1. Last year, the company announced two new selfie drones, the X1 Pro and X1 PROMAX, both with a maximum speed of 26mph (42 km/h)—much faster than most DJI drones.

The HoverAir X1 Pro received a glowing review from my esteemed colleague Derek, so I was looking forward to trying the X1 PROMAX, the flagship model aimed at professional content creators. The main difference between the X1 Pro and X1 PROMAX is that the latter can shoot in 8K and has a vision-based rear-side collision detection system.
