Product Information
Full details
The HOVERAir Joystick Set is designed for owners of the HOVERAir Beacon who want to enhance their control over the X1 Pro or X1 ProMax drones. This accessory set provides users with increased precision through haptic feedback and three distinct control configurations, making it ideal for pilots who want to switch between simple one-handed motion control and a professional two-handed setup. The primary caveat is that this kit requires the standalone HOVERAir Beacon, as it functions strictly as an add-on to expand the Beacon's existing capabilities.

FAQs
Can I use these joysticks without the Beacon?
No, the joysticks are designed specifically as accessories for the HOVERAir Beacon and cannot connect directly to the drone.
Does this set include the Beacon drone controller?
No, the HOVERAir Joystick Set is an accessory kit for the Beacon; the Beacon unit itself must be purchased separately.
Which phones are compatible with the two-handed mode?
The system supports most smartphones that utilize USB-C or Lightning connections for video and data transfer.
Does the joystick set change the drone's flight speed?
No, the joysticks improve control precision and range, but they do not alter the core flight performance or speed characteristics of the drone.
How do I update the firmware for the joysticks?
Firmware updates are managed through the Beacon unit itself. Ensure your Beacon is updated to the latest version via the HOVERAir app.
Troubleshooting
Joystick not being recognized by Beacon
Ensure the joysticks are firmly seated in their respective slots and restart the Beacon unit.
Video feed not appearing on smartphone
Verify that you are using the correct cable (USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to Lightning) and that the connection is secure at both the phone and Beacon ends.
Haptic feedback feels intermittent
Check the battery level of your Beacon; low battery may reduce the performance of secondary features like haptic feedback.
