Hover Air X1 Pro vs DJI Mini 4K | Real-Life Drone Comparison for Photographers & Travelers

Описание: As a photographer and traveler, I’m usually the one behind the camera — but once I started adding video, everything changed.
In this video, I’m sharing my real-life experience comparing the Hover Air X1 Pro and the DJI Mini 4K — not from a tech expert perspective, but from someone who uses these drones for memory making, travel, and everyday moments.
The Hover Air X1 Pro is compact, foldable, and uses Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) instead of GPS, making it perfect for close-range, pre-programmed shots that actually get you in the frame. The DJI Mini 4K, on the other hand, gives you those wider aerial landscape views with GPS stability — without stepping into more complex or professional drone territory.
I talk about what I love about each drone, their limitations, beach and travel lessons learned, setup differences, weather considerations, and why I ultimately decided that owning both makes sense for how I create and travel.
This is not about cinematic perfection — it’s about choosing tools that are simple, fun, and help you show up in your own memories.
