Pleasantly surprised by quality and ease of use – Hover Camera Review

I didn’t expect much from this drone after seeing so many poor reviews on the app coupled with the low price. However I have to say I haven’t had any issues with it yet. I haven’t used any of the follow features or advanced operations but basic flight movements, video & photo quality are far better than I expected. The packaging was also very nice quality and they included 2 batteries, extra propellers, chargers, carry case, and tools. You will definitely want at least 2 batteries as the flight time is only 10mins. The good news is they charge fast. The unit itself is a great design too with fully protected propellers, streamline battery design, and easily foldable for compact carrying. It’s about the size of a sandwich when it’s folded up. I own a Mavic Pro which was over 4x the price of the Hover Passport version I bought but the listed specs were similar. I needed a drone that could shoot aerials for a home that DJI restricted (even though the location was a few blocks away from the restricted zone). Therefore I had to buy a drone under the FAA weight limit in order to avoid restriction issues. The Hover Passport turned out to be the perfect solution. The air space only allowed 100ft for this location so the altitude on this drone was sufficient for what I needed. However those looking for typical drone heights of 400ft would likely be disappointed since I think this one maxes out around 60ft. I feel this drone is a great option for a beginner as well a good small back up drone to keep on hand for certain situations where other larger drones are restricted. It would be a great travel drone too. For under $250 I am honestly very pleased with how great the overall performance was so far with this drone.
