HOVERAir Beacon & Joystick Set - Lightweight Motion Controller

The HoverAir X1 ProMax has completely changed the way I capture family memories, hands-free launch and auto-follow mean I can finally be in the moment instead of just behind the camera. The footage of my kids running, biking or celebrating special moments is smooth, cinematic and the picture quality is awesome. I also purchased the HoverAir Beacon and JoySticks and I’m truly impressed by the innovation and quality, they make controlling and tracking the drone so much easier and unlock features I didn’t even know I needed. I did have a small hiccup with the Beacon at first but HoverAir’s customer service was responsive and very helpful, which gave me confidence in the brand. The HoverAir X1 ProMax combined with the Beacon and JoySticks, is a must-have for any parent who wants to capture life’s special moments in a cinematic way. Highly recommended!

Arrived with a non working left joystick, even after updates performed. Will return. Update… replacement arrived and working

Definitely needed and great product

This is a great add-on to a great drone. Really opens up possibilities. Highly recommend.

First of all, I love the drone, because of that, I thought I’d spend more money and get the beacon set. The package arrived in one day but the box looks like damage with water or some kind of liquid . Then the incredulous installation process started… I thought this would be an easy one. This is now the 5th hour, and it’s almost midnight, I researched everything and everywhere, I cannot make this to be compatible with my Hover X1 Pro Max. The buttons on the beacon does not responding to pushing pressing or anything. ChatGPT said I need to get the newest cover APP however there’s only one APP in Apple Store. And when you try to connect the beacon with the hover. It clearly shows that you need to hold both side of the center button on the drone and wait the light to turn blue, and then put two item next to each other to pair, but the next picture on the beacon installation video shows a drone model that is completely different from my X1 Pro Max( see my photos) no matter how many times I tried the beacon and the links icon are all gray, not green. That is after I upgrade the firmware on both, and calibrated the joystick, but the buttons on the beacon are not responding!!! So far, it’s a lot of money spend and a lot of time invested but completely worthless. And the beacon is too damn small, even for a girl’s hand. Let alone used to by a man with big fingers. The screen is touchable and laughable, because it’s too small and too buggy and two confusing. This is a major design flaw. You had to go left right up and down to get things back to where they are. There are so many versions of tutorial online. None of them are most updated or at least get my working as promised. Either I received a faulty item that is damaged during transportation or this thing just now compatible with promax.

It was not connecting to my phone and causing issues with my actual drone to not connect with my phone. Overall bad experience I believe is a great product, but it did not work for me.

The best

Such a great add-on! Especially when using bicycle mode! Can observe the filming activity with no problem when riding!

Mega geil 🤩 Voll zufrieden 🫶🏻

Perfetto funziona

Having purchased the Beacon to upgrade the flying experience of my X1, I was hopeful that this would all work. My initial attempts to forge communication between the drone and the Beacon failed. I googled the situation, only to discover that others had, had similar experiences. The firmware upgrades needed were not possible via the convential means. This searching also unearthed a PC upgrade approach using a software tool called Flykit, available from Hoverair support. I messaged support with precise details of firmware on the Beacon, X1 and the app version currently deployed, together with serial numbers. Within 12 hours, I received a detailed response with a download link to Flykit, and instructions regarding how to use it. Bingo.....success! From the jaws of despair, I was rescued, and will remain eternally grateful to Hoverair's support department for their prompt and precise attentions. Oh, and the Beacon has made a huge difference, especially for a biker like me!

Muy bueno
