While the world continues to watch the DJI drone ban in the US dominate the drone industry, other brands are still hard at work releasing new products and introducing upgrades.
Now, is it easy to track which of these other drones are set to be available in the US despite the FCC bans? That answer is sadly still a “no”, but we can hope that issues are resolved soon and things settle down.
We can hope, right?
For now, if you’re interested in fun, cinematic drones for your aerial film, video, and photography projects, the SKYROVER X1 is a nice option. It’s also just gotten a nice upgrade with a new Fly More Combo, which adds a new touchscreen remote with a built-in 5.5” display.
The other, non-Fly More Combo versions have also gotten some nice discounts. Here’s what you need to know.

Designed for those looking to capture pro-quality aerial footage for any type of project, really, the SKYROVER X1 is a top, non-DJI option for a reason. It’s quite capable yet lightweight, weighing under 8.8 oz, so it doesn't require registration in the US (according to the company).
The SKYROVER X1 is also packed with a ton of features, including AI-based flight modes, subject tracking, and automated return-to-home functionality. The drone uses its 3-axis gimbal to capture 4K60 HDR videos and to turn the camera vertically for perfectly capturing tall objects or social media-friendly clips.
As far as flyability goes, the X1 offers an operating range of 5 to 104°F and integrated 360° obstacle avoidance, which should enable it to fly safely in harsh weather and dense urban environments.

Those were the selling points for the SKYROVER X1 when it was released before, but now with this new Fly More Combo, the X1 also gets a built-in 5.5" 1080p60 screen with 700 nits of brightness, which is an upgrade from having to control the drone from a phone.
The combo also includes three batteries and a charging hub, plus extra accessories like five pairs of spare propellers instead of three, and a carry bag for the drone. For more info on this deal and to see the discounts for other combos, check out the full specs and purchase options below.
