Smart Battery X1 PROMAX Flying Action Camera Battery - Extended Flight

In this review the Smart Battery X1 PROMAX is evaluated as a specialist power pack for the HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX flying action cameras. The bottom line: this battery is aimed at photographers and hobby pilots who need longer, safer flights rather than casual users who fly infrequently. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 1920 mAh capacity that yields 16+ minutes per battery and an intelligent BMS that protects against over-charge, over-discharge, short circuit, over-voltage, over-current, and overheating, all of which help extend usable life and reduce risk during repeated outdoor shoots.

Key Features

• Intelligent BMS: Multiple layers of safety protection guard the battery against over-charging, over-discharging, short-circuiting, over-voltage, over-current, and overheating for safer use in the field.
• Extended Flight Time: Each battery has a 1920 mAh capacity that reliably provides 16+ minutes of flight time, letting operators capture longer sequences without swapping packs constantly.
• Onboard Charging: The battery charges directly in the flying camera in about 55 minutes, which is convenient when a separate charger is not available on location.
• Charging Hub Support: Using the optional Charging Hub reduces single-battery charge time to about 45 minutes and can charge two batteries in 60 minutes, helping keep multiple batteries ready.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX models, ensuring correct fit and electrical behavior when used as intended.

Who It's For

The Smart Battery X1 PROMAX is ideal for serious drone photographers, videographers, and outdoor enthusiasts who fly the HOVERAir X1 PRO or PROMAX and need dependable, repeatable flight durations. Its safety features and higher capacity make it a good choice for anyone who often shoots sequences, panoramas, or needs a stable platform for extended footage.

It is not intended for owners of the base HOVERAir X1 model, and casual users who fly only once in a while and prefer ultra-fast swapping or alternative power solutions may want to consider smaller, lower-capacity packs or factory bundles that include multiple batteries.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong safety suite via intelligent BMS reduces operational risk and helps preserve battery lifespan.

• Flexible charging options: in-camera charging plus a faster Charging Hub option for 1 or 2 batteries.
• Designed specifically for HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX for reliable compatibility.

Cons

• Charging in-camera takes about 55 minutes, which may be slow if you only have a single battery available.
• Not compatible with the base HOVERAir X1, so it cannot be used across the entire X1 lineup.
