Skyrover X1 drone: Strong DJI competitor comes with 4K and nine miles of range

The Skyrover X1 is a drone that has already been available in the USA for a little while now, though it is yet to reach other markets. Either way, the advantage here is that plenty of both YouTube and user reviews can be found online, which should help price-conscious buyers reach an informed decision in view of the $750 price tag. Not exactly a cheap drone, but at least the reviews appear to be overwhelmingly positive, with many users praising the quality of video feedback and overall flyability.

For this price, customers should indeed expect a well-equipped drone. It features a 1/1.32-inch CMOS sensor, which is advertised as being able to record 4K videos at 60 frames per second and take 48 MP photos. The drone is advertised as having a Super AI Night Mode, which is intended to allow for higher-quality images in low light, at least within limits.

A weight of less than 250 grams is stated, which makes recreational flight easier in a number of countries. The X1 is said to be able to detect obstacles all around, which can help prevent damage and make it easier for beginners to use. Optical transmission is said to work over a distance of up to 15 kilometers and a smartphone is required for live feedback, as the controller does not have its own display.

According to the specifications, the advertised 32 minutes of flight time is on a single battery charge. As usual, users do not have to control the drone manually the entire time, as automatic tracking and photography of people and objects is possible.
