Although some question Check this website whether it’s an actual drone, Redditors who have experience with DJI and Potensic say it’s undeniably convenient and fun—and we agree. The Air X1 fits in the pocket of a pair of jeans, is simple to use, and has a camera quality that’s on-par with an iPhone.
Download the user-friendly app and it’s up and flying in minutes. It has seven autonomous flight modes that follow you, and one manual mode that you control from your phone. It has obstacle avoidance but it’s limited to only objects in front or below it.
The autonomous flight is impressive and surprisingly reliable. The camera locks onto the user and then follows the flight mode you choose. It automatically stops if it loses sight of you and emergency lands if it comes in contact with anything. It can follow you on a bike ride or tag along on a hike for hassle-free photos and videos.
It won’t be doing barrel rolls or shooting cinematic footage, but the Air X1 is a practical drone for getting some pictures and videos that’s fun and easy to use.
