Skyrover S1
A pocket-sized 4K drone that goes anywhere you do. Skyrover S1 packs a 1/2-inch Sony sensor, 3-axis mechanical gimbal, forward obstacle avoidance, and 40 minutes of flight time into a sub-249g airframe — no FAA registration required for recreational use.
Highlights
- Sub-249g — no FAA registration required for recreational flight
- 1/2-inch Sony CMOS sensor — 4K/60fps video, 48MP photos, f/1.7 aperture
- 3-axis mechanical gimbal for cinematic stability
- Forward obstacle avoidance — rare in this weight and price class
- Up to 7–10 mile dual-band video transmission with 1080p/60fps live view
Compact Cinematic Power
A 1/2-inch Sony sensor, an f/1.7 lens, and a true 3-axis mechanical gimbal — the camera system inside Skyrover S1 punches way above its weight class. Vivid color, rich detail, and steady footage in every shot.
1/2" Sony CMOS Sensor
A larger sensor pulls in more light for cleaner low-light footage and richer color. An f/1.7 aperture means more of every scene reaches the sensor.
4K/60fps Video And 48MP Photos
Shoot 4K at 60 frames per second for buttery smooth video, or pull crisp 48MP stills with 8K image quality straight off the sensor.
3-Axis Mechanical Gimbal
Mechanical stabilization on all three axes keeps every movement steady — no shaky video, no electronic-stabilization warping, just smooth cinematic motion.
2.7K Vertical For Reels And Stories
Capture native 2.7K vertical video for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. No reframing, no awkward crops — post straight from the SD card.
SR-Log Flat Color Profile
SR-Log preserves dynamic range in highlights and shadows for serious post-production. Drop in the official SKYROVER LUT and graded footage looks cinematic.
Smart Flight, Beginner-Friendly
Long-range transmission, automatic obstacle detection, smart return-home, and creative flight modes that make great footage one tap away — Skyrover S1 is built to fly easy and look pro.
7–10 Mile Dual-Band Transmission
Dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz transmission delivers a stable 1080p/60fps live view at distances most consumer drones can't touch — up to about 39,000 feet line-of-sight.
Forward Obstacle Avoidance
Forward-facing infrared sensors detect objects in the drone's flight path so it can stop or steer around them — a safety feature usually reserved for heavier, pricier aircraft.
Auto Return Home
If the signal drops or the battery runs low, S1 automatically returns to its takeoff point. Less worry, more flying time.
Level 5 Wind Resistance
Holds position and flies smooth in winds up to 15 m/s. Footage stays steady when conditions don't cooperate.
Auto Track Subject Following
Pick a subject on the controller screen and S1 keeps it centered in the frame. No second pilot, no contortions — just hands-free recording while you do whatever you're doing.
One-Tap Pro Shots
Lift, Loop, Twist, Vista, and Asteroid — preset cinematic flight paths trigger from a single tap. Travel reels and vlog cutaways without learning a stick combo.
Built To Travel With You
Sub-249g, foldable, with the longest single-battery flight time in its class. S1 fits in a jacket pocket and stays in the air long enough to actually use — no battery anxiety, no FAA paperwork, no problem.
Sub-249g — No FAA Registration
Recreational flight with the S1 doesn't require FAA registration or Remote ID for hobby users in the US. Always check local rules, but the paperwork is minimal.
Foldable, Backpack-Ready
Folded down, S1 slips into a small bag or jacket pocket. Unfold, take off, and start flying — perfect for travel, hikes, road trips, and spontaneous shoots.
40-Min Flight Time Per Battery
Up to 40 minutes per smart battery — among the longest flight times in the sub-249g class. More time in the air means more shots and fewer battery swaps.
Built For Any Altitude, Any Weather
Operates from –15° to 40°C and takes off at altitudes up to 5,000 meters. Snowy peaks, summer heat, mountain meadows — fly with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the CPS Protection Plan cover?
The CPS Protection Plan covers full parts and labor for internal hardware failure, along with Accidental Damage Protection. This plan is intended for recreational and commercial drones. A deductible applies at the time of claim.
What doesn't the CPS Protection Plan cover?
This contract does not cover the first 30 days from date of purchase. This contract does not cover lost or stolen products, or any add-on accessories.
Does the CPS Protection Plan protect against crashes?
Yes. The CPS Protection Plan covers physical damage, impact damage, water damage, excessive damage, and crash-related incidents.
Does this plan cover commercially used drones?
Yes, this plan covers both recreational and commercial drones.
Are the camera and gimbal covered?
Yes. If the camera or gimbal is included in the box from the manufacturer, it is covered under the CPS Protection Plan.
Are batteries covered?
No. Batteries are considered consumables and are not covered.
Will the CPS Protection Plan cover propellers?
Replacing a drone's propellers is considered maintenance and is not covered under warranty. Propellers are user-replaceable parts. Depending on the manufacturer, it is recommended to replace propellers if you notice a change in flight performance or experience noisy or unbalanced flight.
When does coverage begin?
The CPS Protection Plan begins on the end user's purchase date. There is a 30-day claims hold to prevent DOAs or manufacturer defects. Coverage begins on day 31. Any claims that occur during the first 30 days are not covered.
If I lose my drone, can the warranty be transferred to a new one?
Unfortunately, no. If a unit is lost, the warranty coverage is voided.
How is the deductible determined?
The deductible is based on the value of the drone covered under the contract. For units under $250, the deductible can be as low as $30. For units under $3,500, the deductible is $250. Please see chart below or on FAQ tab for full pricing and deductible information.
How do I file a claim?
Claims can be filed by phone, email, through your CPS Client Care account, or via chat on the CPS website. You will need to submit:
- CPS Membership ID number
- Drone serial number
- Copy of purchase receipt
How many claims can I file?
You may file unlimited claims during the warranty period. Coverage will end once total repair costs reach the original purchase price of the drone.
Who will repair my drone? Is there anywhere I can bring it locally for service?
After the deductible payment is made, you will be directed to ship your drone. The Drone Nerds program includes prepaid shipping to CPS's depot repair facility. Once received, depending on the manufacturer, the drone will either be repaired by an in-house Drone Repair Center or sent directly to the manufacturer. At this time, local repairs are not permitted, as we must be able to control the quality of the repair.
Will my coverage continue after repairs to my drone?
Yes. Coverage will remain in place until the contract expires, unless the drone is replaced under warranty.
Does the CPS Protection Plan coverage transfer to the replacement drone?
Unfortunately, no. Once the drone is replaced, the CPS Protection Plan contract is considered fulfilled. You may purchase a new CPS Protection Plan for the replacement unit.
