While you can manually control the X1 from your phone, the fun starts when you select one of the built-in flight modes. Simply select the mode you want, and the X1 will automatically perform each flight path. Choose from Hover, Follow, Orbit, Zoom Out, Bird's Eye, Snapshot, and Dolly Track. Below is a list of some of these modes and how they function.
- Hover: Hovers in the air and frames a person or group for a static shot or video.
- Follow: It keeps a subject centered in frame and follows them from the front or back at up to 12.4 mph, and as close as 4.9'.
- Orbit: The camera centers the subjects as it flies around them to capture every angle.
- Zoom Out: Center on a subject or group as the camera flies away, effectively zooming out on the scene to expose more of the surroundings in the shot as it progresses.
- Bird's Eye: The camera shoots straight down for a unique top-down view of a scene.
