Do I need to register my SKYROVER drone with the FAA?

No. SKYROVER drones weigh under 249g, which means they are exempt from FAA registration requirements for recreational use in the United States.

I am absolutely blown away with how goodthe x1 drone is. It's outstanding by far the best drone I've ever flown.

I've really enjoyed the pics and footage it catches. I'm interested in buying the new model ASAP.

Love this drone the X1 image quality is outstanding and it’s very durable and very well made would recommend this drone to beginners and seasoned droned flyers GREAT JOB SKYROVER!!!!!

I love it. I would buy another one if I had the money right now! I’ve had people purchasing one just by showing mine off.

Love it. Waiting on yall next edition???

Great drone at a fantastic price, if you are thinking you want a DJI, make a smart move and get a Skyrover, all the same features at half the price.

Incredible

I love this drone. It does everything I had hoped and so far is a great starter device for my new hobby. I take some crazy videos and photos and it's incredibly easy to use. So far almost everything is really intuitive and simple.

Really enjoying the proximity cameras. Photo quality is really great. Super easy to use. We are a building inspection company and these are perfect for residential and small commercial roofs. I tested one and then ended up buying 3 more immediately.

My first drone. Easy to fly, and the pictures and video is amazing. Not a single regret with this purchase!!

Being a pretty new pilot and only having flown my S1 and my newer X1 a few times each I found both of them would be very nice to fly and learn on, especially. The actual one I got with the new remote with the screen and I have to admit it doesn’t make things a lot less of a hassle and seems to work quite well. The bill quality and everything else is very similar to the DJI I had for years previously that I only threw that like once. That’s why I’m still a new pilot. I’m looking forward to having a lot of fun and what I’ve seen in the pictures that I took on a few test flights and they look really really nice.

Delivery was timely and the overall quality and experience of using the drone has been perfect. would highly recommend this done and may purchase another for my significant other

So far, its been pretty great. I havent tried all the options yet.

I can not recommend this drone enough to everyone interested in buying a drone. I have no complaints about this drone it is literally perfect in every aspect.

Top of the line drone. Amazing stability and great videography.

I love my skyrover x1, it is awesome. I love to fly it and it works very well. Best drone I've ever owned

This my first drone. I haven't flown it much but so far I am very happy with it.

This Drone is a Dream to fly and use .
here is a few videos I made with the X1 !!

New to flying drones. I love this piece of equipment. Handles great. Stabilization a d camera are top notch.

First time drone pilot, so easy to fly

Love it it's help me and other friends of mine get out of depression

Super happy with my purchase. This drone rocks! Beautiful camera! It’s awesome! Enjoy flying it! This is a drone that you won’t regret buying!

I just start flying drones. This drone is awesome. Best drone on the market.

Great drone

The skyrover x1 has been a big upgrade from the old analog fpv drones that i own. I had to get one after seeing plenty of videos on YouTube giving it two thumbs up.

Excellent drone

I'm so amazed by what this little quadcopter can do! It's fun to fly around for sure and the rth, quick shots, video, obstacle avoidance are excellent. I'm still figuring it out and learning how to use it but I like it a lot already.

Fun first try at flying UAVs. Great price compared to DJI. Needs more accessories available for this model. Flying the is about 20-22 min. Would like more per battery.

I am new to drones but am a hobby photographer. I do a lot of landscape photography. I am looking to get into more video to document my journeys. I looked at a lot of drones and they all seemed way to expensive for someone new like me. I decided on the X1 vs S1 based on my assumption that I will love this part of the hobby. I love all the features it has and it is super easy to fly. The camera quality is incredible. I highly recommend this drone vs the main competitor. It's quality is just as good if not better.

This is my first drone. Very impressed with ease of handling and video.

Great value with excellent camera andAI tracking software small size great for our style off-roading and boating good range great value for a sub 250 size drone
