8K Capture From Every Angle
Whether it’s high-action trail footage or awe-inspiring content for your social channels, the HOVERAir X1 PROMAX is ready to capture your best moments. As the flagship of the HOVERAir lineup, the X1 PROMAX pairs a custom 8K imaging system with autonomous flight, anchored by a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, a 107-degree ultra-wide F2.55 lens, and 14 stops of dynamic range. The PROMAX launches from your palm, tracks at speeds up to 26 mph with AI-driven precision, and returns to your hand when the shot is done, with support for voice control and a deep library of automated flight modes. SmoothCapture 2.0 stabilization combines a free-floating 2-axis gimbal with electronic image stabilization and AI-assisted horizon leveling for the steadiest of shots, while 4K/120-fps slow motion turns standout moments into dramatic highlights. You’ll get 16 minutes of flight time per battery, a generous 64GB of internal storage, and microSD support, ensuring ample capacity for your next session. Intuitive, foldable, and built from aerospace-grade HEM, the 192-gram X1 PROMAX is a compact drone ready for professional capture in any environment.

Your personal camera crew
Once airborne, the X1 PROMAX’s 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor and 7-layer custom lens capture vibrant, realistic details in nearly any environment. Its 14 stops of dynamic range preserve highlights and shadows in high-contrast scenes, while the 107-degree ultra-wide field of view adds dramatic scale. Powered by Snapdragon, it processes native 8K at 30 frames per second, with a clean 2x zoom that preserves detail when cropped or reframed. You can also shoot in 4K HDR, standard 4K, and 4K vertical formats, with an option for 4K/120-fps slow motion for extra smoothness. Additionally, H-Log offers enhanced color and contrast control during editing, while sharp 48MP DNG photos provide maximum data for post-production.
Intuitive hands-free control
A palm launch sends the X1 PROMAX into the air, and voice commands trigger captures and adjustments. Choose from 15 automated flight modes that handle everything from steady follows to tight-angle tracking in challenging environments. The HOVERAir app expands those options via your phone, putting flight configurations, content downloads, sharing, and manual controls easily within reach. Behind every command, SmoothCapture 2.0 stabilization keeps the camera steady through a 2-axis mechanical gimbal paired with electronic image stabilization and AI-assisted horizon leveling. To further bolster operation, an enhanced neural processing unit delivers 15 times the AI power of the original X1 to drive subject recognition, tracking decisions, and flight adjustments in real time. Likewise, front obstacle sensing ensures the PROMAX is always aware of what’s ahead, and vision-based positioning, along with rear active collision detection, allows it to navigate even the most complex environments.
Built to keep up
The X1 PROMAX is built to survive even the bumpiest landings. The custom aerodynamic frame is made from aerospace-grade HEM (Highly Elastic Material), engineered to take a hit and keep going, and also meets the demands of high-speed flight. It’s a good thing, too, as the drone’s powerful motor delivers 26 mph follow speeds, burst tracking up to 37 mph, and Level 5 wind resistance. An ever-growing accessory lineup extends the PROMAX's capabilities, with options ranging from on-the-go charging cases and ND filter sets to dedicated travel cases and even controllers for even more dynamic operation.
HOVERAir: Capturing life one flight at a time
Originally founded in 2014 by two Stanford Ph.Ds, parent company Zero Zero Robotics spent years integrating its AI advancements into one of the most celebrated portable, user-friendly drones on the market. Launched in 2022, the HOVERAir brand was born from that success, built on leveraging cutting-edge innovations spanning 140+ core industry patents to make dynamic drone capture accessible to every creator at the consumer level. It’s an ideology we at Sweetwater can relate to — one that forms an identity of dreamers, engineers, and innovators from all backgrounds across the globe. Designed for travelers, creators, and adventurers alike, HOVERAir products are built to capture life’s best moments with ease.
