The $ 349 HoverAir X1 from Zero Zero Robotics is so easy to use that it’s already an indispensable tool for my work and play.

The X1 is not without limitations, and I have to admit I love this little guy precisely because of its shortcomings, not in spite of them.

The primary user interface for the HoverAir drone is two buttons on the drone itself.

X1's diminutive size means compromises were made, starting with a max video resolution of 2.7K/30fps.

The HoverAir X1 is not indestructible, but it’s surprisingly robust for such a lightweight drone.

The X1 does 90 percent of what I want a drone to do without adding GPS , obstacle avoidance sensors, and a physical controller.

The drone is limited to 32 GB of built-in storage without any option for microSD expansion.
