In more detail

Take full control of your drone with the HOVERAir Beacon and JoyStick bundle, a modular remote-control system built for the HOVERAir X1 PRO and X1 PROMAX. This bundle's live OLED screen and flexible joystick modes put every creative decision in your hands, from solo hands-free tracking to a full 2-handed traditional controller setup.

Monitor your shots in real time

Keep a live eye on every frame as it happens with the Beacon's built-in 1.78" OLED screen, giving you a real-time view of exactly what your drone sees without needing your phone. Adjust camera settings remotely and record your voice directly through the Beacon's built-in microphone, all while your drone is in the air.

1-handed control with haptic feedback

Gain intuitive, precise control of your flight with 1 joystick attached to the Beacon, transforming it into a responsive 1-handed controller with haptic feedback for stick or motion-based flying. The joystick also extends the Beacon's battery by up to 180 minutes, giving you significantly longer flight and monitoring sessions from a single charge.

Full traditional piloting experience

Attach both joysticks to unlock a complete 2-handed traditional drone controller setup with video transmission up to 1,000m away. Connect your smartphone via USB for a much larger screen than the Beacon alone provides, giving you a full cinematic monitoring experience wherever you fly.

Track subjects with precision

Follow yourself or your subject with greater accuracy using HoverLink, HOVERAir's high-precision tracking technology built into the Beacon. Keeping the Beacon on your person maintains a reliable Wi-Fi connection between you and the drone, so it stays locked on no matter how fast you move.

Extended power for longer flights

Get up to 2 hours of standalone use from the Beacon's built-in rechargeable battery, with each joystick adding up to 180 minutes of additional runtime when attached. Everything charges via USB-C with cables included in the bundle, so topping up between sessions is simple and consistent.

FAQs

The HOVERAir Beacon and JoyStick Bundle is a modular remote control system designed for the HOVERAir X1 PRO and X1 PROMAX flying cameras. It transforms how you fly and monitor your drone, as the Beacon gives you a live preview screen and voice control while the JoySticks let you switch between 1-handed motion control and a full 2-handed traditional setup. It's ideal for content creators, vloggers and drone enthusiasts who want more precision, flexibility and real-time monitoring beyond the basic palm-launch experience.

The Beacon is a standalone controller with a 1.78" OLED screen that displays a real-time live view from your HOVERAir drone while it flies. Without any JoySticks attached, it gives you instant status updates, in-flight parameter adjustments and a built-in microphone for voice control and audio recording. It connects to your drone via standard and narrow-band WiFi for video transmission and supports up to 2 hours of battery life on its own.

Attaching a single JoyStick to the Beacon transforms it into a 1-handed motion controller with haptic feedback. This gives you intuitive stick-based or motion-controlled flight, so you can tilt and move the controller to direct the drone rather than using on-screen gestures. The JoyStick also extends the Beacon's battery runtime by up to 180 minutes, significantly increasing how long you can fly and monitor footage in a single session.

Attaching both the left and right JoySticks creates a full 2-handed traditional drone controller experience. In this configuration, you can also connect your smartphone via USB to the JoyStick, giving you a much larger display for monitoring footage compared to the 1.78" Beacon screen. 2-handed mode supports video transmission from the drone at up to 1,000m range, ideal for longer-range flights and more complex shots.

The HOVERAir Beacon and JoyStick Bundle is compatible with the HOVERAir X1 PRO and X1 PROMAX. Core features including video transmission, 1-handed and 2-handed control and audio recording are also planned to become compatible with the standard HOVERAir X1 in a future firmware update, though HoverLink tracking will not be supported on the original X1. Always check HOVERAir's website for the latest firmware compatibility before purchasing.

HoverLink is HOVERAir's high-precision tracking technology built into the Beacon, which enables the drone to lock onto and follow a subject with greater accuracy than the standard palm-following mode. This is particularly useful for action sports, fitness content and solo filming where you want the drone to track you consistently as you move. HoverLink works over the WiFi connection between the Beacon and the drone, so keeping the Beacon on your person helps maintain a reliable tracking signal.

The Beacon has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts up to 2 hours on its own. Attaching the JoySticks to the Beacon can extend its total runtime by up to 180 minutes, giving you significantly more flight and monitoring time from a single charge. Both the Beacon and JoySticks charge via USB-C cables included in the bundle, so you can keep everything powered up with a single cable type.

The bundle includes everything you need to get started with the full controller experience: the Beacon, a Beacon USB-C charging cable, left and right JoySticks, a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to Lightning cable for connecting older iPhones as a display, 2 Precision Control Knobs, a Beacon Combo Case, a Magnetic Adapter Mount and a Magnetic Clip.
