The HoverAir X1 selfie drone is getting big resolution upgrades in two new versions
The autonomous selfie drone could soon appeal to pros.
Unlike most consumer drones that require amateur piloting skills, the original HoverAir X1 is autonomous, tracking a subject and capturing footage through predetermined flight paths. Other upgrades include a faster follow speed of 26MPH, up from 15MPH on the HoverAir X1 (which will appeal to cyclists); 16-minute flight times; and the addition of rear and side collision sensors. The previous model lacked any obstacle detection and avoidance, simply relying on cages to protect its rotors and prevent crashes should it run into something.
