DJI - X1

Love the SkyRover X1 and fly it almost everyday!!!

There's one. The Skyrover X1 on Amazon is almost an exact clone of the Mini 4 Pro, right down to the software. The word is that it's actually made by DJI under a different name to get around the issue. I got one and have used it 3 times now and I can tell you it's EXACTLY like flying the Mini Pro series.

Why would anyone hate? Skyrover X1 is a great drone. I bought one for my father-in-law several weeks ago (I own a M4P). It's literally 98% the same. Flies great, lots of features. Camera is just as good as my M4P. Happy flying!

Bought one a couple of weeks ago. 8 or 10 flights as far as 1 mile and 400 ft altitude. Response to the controller is impressive. RTH is always within 6” of take off placement with 75% being within 2”. photo/video quality as good as any Action camera I have owned or better, in fact. Object avoidance is flawless. Whether set to stop or bypass obstacles, it just does what it is advertised to do. Stuck some yellow Master Airscrew props on. Easier to see in flight and maybe a bit quieter. The versions for the DJI Mini 4 Pro fit just fine, big surprise.😁

The DJI shell companies are the way to go. Got the Skyrover X1 and it's a Mini 4 in all but name.

Because of the unavailability of DJI drones in the U.S., I decided to try the Skyrover X1. Coming from flying the Marice 100, the Phantom series, and the Mavic 2 Pro, I was a bit skeptical, but hopeful given the positive reviews. I had never held a DJI mini drone, so when I opened the Skyrover box and held it in hand, I thought "damn, this is just a cheap plastic toy." But that thought was quickly dispelled after the first test flight. Smooth controls with no adjustments to gain or expo, much quieter than my other drones, and great range. The video quality is excellent. Overall, definitely worth the purchase. The one thing I hope they make available are ND filters. Paid around $800. for the fly more combo and it arrived from Malaysia 6 days after ordering. No customs hang ups or hidden import charges.

It's missing a few things. You can't do hyperlapse with waypoints. It doesn't have remote ID so you can't do paid work with it in the US unless you put a remote ID module on it. And there's one or two cinematic effects that aren't available. It's also not compatible with DJI controllers or batteries. I have the X1 and I'm perfectly happy with it.

I'd be really upset if someone told me it was exactly the same and then I found out it doesn't have remote ID, the best part of hyperlapse is missing, the Mini 4 Pro ND filters and batteries don't fit, and the controllers aren't interchangeable. My intent is to answer the OP's questions and I think they're more concerned with how it performs than what's written on the inside parts.

When you turn it on it does “tandandan”. It’s for sure a DJI

Hopefully I don’t catch too much heat for this. But sharing info on the Skyrover X1. Many of the reviews I’ve seen indicate it’s a knockoff DJI Mini 4 Pro. I really wanted a DJI M4P but with bans, scarcity, etc I decided to take a gamble on the X1. This is my first ever drone & my thought process is after getting some flight time under my belt the bans may ease off and I would be a buyer for a future M5P or M6P depending how long the X1 serves me. I placed my order on 8/21 with Amazon. Cost was $763. Order shipped from Malaysia on 8/25. Made it to US and delivered to my house by 8/27 @ 13:35. Kudos to FedEx for being fast! Boxing was good but nothing extraordinary. Visually things look good. I haven’t gotten it charged and any flight time yet. I noticed the cable from the controller to your phone is directional as there is a small symbol with a controller to note which end goes in the controller. Also I question how long that cable will work without problems as it seems bent in a weird spot. I have the larger iPhone 15 Plus Pro and it barely fits with the case on. I wish their fly more pack had a RC2 type controller. Being my first drone I have no comparison but it is smaller, lighter & more “plasticy” than I envisioned. I will get a better sense of the toughness once I’m able to fly it.

Been getting some flight time this weekend. Very impressed & happy with everything. Even the need to use my phone with the controller was a non-issue for me. I thought it would bother me more and it wasn’t even a consideration. No ragrets….not even 1 letter. 😜🙃

I’ve got some flight time on mine as well and been very happy. This is my first so I don’t have a comparison basis but it has exceeded my expectations. No regrets on my purchase. 😎 I’ve heard there are ND filters coming from Skyrover but not sure an ETA.

This is the only drone I’ve owned so I can’t compare actual vs advertised times of others. The advertised time of the M4P and X1 are the same. I got my first flight in this weekend. I did a lot of takeoff and landing work and hovering as I was getting familiar with controls. I think these conditions suck more battery but that’s just my assumption. Others with more experience can pipe up. That said, my first battery got about 22 minutes before it went to auto land due to weak battery. The odd thing is I charged the night before to 100%. It had 4 solid green lights. When I turned on the drone about 18-20ish hours later to fly it did the 3-4 green light blink indicating 76-99% charge. I left the battery in the drone, in a non powered state, which to my thinking means it should have been 100% when I turned it on. Maybe there was a small trickle draw of some magnitude so maybe I should have pulled the battery out of the drone entirely. If there was some draw from leaving in then that may explain some of the 22 minute flight time opposed to the advertised 32 minutes. 🤷‍♂️

I went ahead and sprung for a hard case for the X1. Took a gamble on the Lykus case and things fit perfect. [https://a.co/d/3GXUVRB](https://a.co/d/3GXUVRB) Seems obvious they would but the hard lines of the DJI had me thinking I may need to trim some of the foam but nothing was required. Even the slightly different sized batteries fit fine. https://preview.redd.it/vlh9el969hmf1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4568aac98b201c7720190bf9f31632e556fa27f

It has FPV. You can toggle it on using the menu settings or for quicker access you can assign FPV to the FN button on the remote so it’s a 1 click operation.

After watching bunch of videos of skyrover x1 and dji mini 4 pro, x1 is the best bang for buck. It’s technically the same firmware and almost $500 savings on the fly more combo. Dji’s smart way to pass the US regulations.

If Dji gets added to FCC covered list after Dec 23, it’s lack of support for dji’s too. Just the RC2 with dji’s is a gamechanger but X1 is a hot deal now. I’m getting mine.
