Tourists can now add a new gadget to their vacation packing list as the HOVERAir X1 AI drone becomes available for use. This lightweight drone can follow you around and capture your vacation memories from 50ft in the air or even chase after you at 15mph.
Unveiled at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the HOVERAir X1 is equipped with AI technology that allows it to keep focus on the user and be directed with simple arm movements. Unlike the traditional selfie stick, this hands-free device does not require a controller or app, instead using ‘Gesture Control’ to follow the user.
With a price tag of £419 for the basic package, the HOVERAir X1 is more costly than the humble selfie stick. However, its versatility and ease of use make it an attractive option for those looking to capture their vacation adventures.
The launch of this selfie drone comes at a time when selfie sticks have faced restrictions and bans at some cultural events and attractions. But with the rise in social media influencers and the growing demand for professional vacation photos, this new gadget is likely to be welcomed by many.
Companies such as Flytographer and Angel have been capitalizing on the trend, connecting travelers with professional photographers at their holiday destination. The HOVERAir X1 now offers an alternative for travelers who want to capture memorable moments without the need for a professional photographer.
Overall, the HOVERAir X1 AI drone offers a new way for tourists to document their travels, and with its various modes and capabilities, it is sure to become a popular accessory for holidaymakers in the future.
