The clever folding design, with propeller guards that snap open like a book, ensures it’s ready to fly in seconds without risking your fingers. With just two buttons on the device, you’re in control: one powers it on, the other cycles through five pre-programmed flight modes—Hover, Follow, Zoom Out, Orbit, and Bird’s Eye.
The X1’s camera, while not a 4K powerhouse, still impresses with 2.7K video at 30fps and 12-megapixel stills. Boasting 32GB of built-in storage, you can shoot for days before needing to transfer files via Wi-Fi to your phone or computer.
I’ve never had any kind of drone before, and I’m not usually good with electronics, but this thing is EASY to use. Birds Eye function can go 50 feet high! It can do a full revolution around me. I love the Zoom Out function. I just started trying the Dolly mode (where it follows you from the front) yesterday. It has you master like 5 easy modes before you unlock intermediate, and those before you unlock advanced. Really smart, or I would’ve started with the wrong thing,” said one reviewer.
