Frequently asked questions

The quick answers to the questions we get most about the X1 and S1 lines.

Should I pick the X1 or the S1 series?

The X1 line focuses on 360° obstacle avoidance and 4K/60fps HDR video; the S1 line is lighter and more travel-friendly with a longer ~120-minute battery life.

Do I need the screen controller?

A screen-controller bundle works without a phone and its 5.5-inch touchscreen stays readable in direct sun. If you are fine controlling from your phone, the base kit is more affordable.

Are the buttons tracked affiliate links?

Yes. Each card button goes through this site before landing on Amazon, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
