Both bring better cameras, more speed, more intelligence, and more flight time.

The cameras on the new drones sit on 2x-axis gimbals.
Like the original HoverAir X1, the new drones unfold and can be flying within moments.
The rotors are covered, which makes them good for flying indoors or outside.

The new HoverAI X1 Pro and Air Pro Max have additional collision sensors.
The Pro gets a proximity sensor on the back and the Pro Max also has an additional vision sensor.
Speed is up to 26mph.

The max altitude is 393 ft.
The extra capabilities and flight time mean the pro-level drones have put on a little weight.
While the HoverAir X1 weighs 125g, the X1 Pro and X1 Pro Max come in at 192g.

These new drones are also noticeably larger than the HoverAir X1.
Even so, I picked up both drones and each still felt lightweight compared to most palm-sized drones.
The HoverAir X1 Pro has 32GB of on-board storage and the HoverAir X1 Pro Max doubles that to 64GB.

Both drones also include a micro-SD slot for additional storage.
With these more pro features come more pro-level prices.
The HoverAir X1 Pro costs $499 and the Pro Max is $699.

Pricing for the UK and Australia has not been set.
There’s also a nifty accessory called Beacon ($129).
It’s both a motion tracker for the drone and video feedback.

The Beacon can also attach to one of the aforementioned joysticks to create a small remote.
It includes a USB-C port for charging your phone.
Theres even a special battery equipped to handle temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
