FAQs

Do I need a remote control or phone to fly the X1 ProMax?

No, the HOVERAir X1 ProMax is designed for hands-free operation. You can launch automated flight modes directly from the drone using its onboard buttons, without needing a remote or smartphone.

What is the maximum flight time on a single charge?

Flight time varies depending on the flight mode and conditions. Please refer to the product manual for specific estimations, but expect typical flight sessions to be around [Manufacturer's specified flight time, e.g., 10-15 minutes].

Can the X1 ProMax fly in rain or snow?

The X1 ProMax is designed for OmniTerrain use, which includes capability in various weather conditions. However, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow, and ensure the drone is dried thoroughly after use in wet conditions.

How do I update the drone's firmware?

Firmware updates are typically managed via a companion app. Check the official HOVERAir website or app store for the latest instructions and software.

What are the benefits of 8K video resolution?

8K resolution provides significantly more detail than 4K, allowing for greater flexibility in post-production, such as cropping, zooming, or reframing shots without a noticeable loss in quality. It results in incredibly sharp and lifelike footage.

What is the effective range for the follow-me function?

The follow-me function works best within a specific range. The drone can maintain tracking at speeds up to 42km/h (26mph), and short bursts up to 60km/h (37mph), with optimal tracking distance varying by mode and environment.

Is the propeller cage safe for indoor use?

Yes, the full propeller cage is designed for safe flight, making it suitable for indoor environments as well as outdoor use, protecting both people and property.

Troubleshooting

Drone not powering on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Flight mode not engaging correctly

Ensure you are in an open area with sufficient light and space. Restart the drone and re-select the flight mode.

Video footage is shaky or unstable

Verify that SmoothCapture 2.0 is enabled. Ensure the gimbal is not obstructed and that the drone is not flying in excessively windy conditions beyond its rating.

Drone loses GPS signal or positioning

Move to an area with a clearer view of the sky. Avoid flying near tall buildings or dense foliage that can obstruct satellite signals.

Follow mode is not tracking accurately

Ensure the subject is clearly visible and not obscured by objects. Check that the drone is within the optimal follow distance and speed limits for the selected mode.
