Can’t complete firmware update?

I just downloaded version 8.4.15 to my phone but am getting an error when I try to upload it to my x1 pro. It also won’t let me fly at all saying “device restricted please check the app”. Also sending this to hover but just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Ohio MTB State Championships

This past weekend, West Branch State Park played host to the Ohio MTB State Championships! Over 80 riders—ranging from youth to pro—tested their skills on a fast and flowing course to claim the state's top prize.

In 2025, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources worked with professional trail builders and CAMBA to add approximately 9 miles of trails to the park. Since then, volunteers from our local riding community have poured hours into refining the existing lines, bringing the total to nearly 20 miles of prime singletrack.

True to form, the NOMBS team produced another top-tier competitive weekend. After the race, I got back out on the trail to capture a few of my favorite sections with whatever energy I had left.

Consider joining CAMBA or renewing your membership today. Your membership dollars go directly to the trail improvement projects that make weekends like this possible!

Lost X1 Pro-Max near Whistler, Canada

Posting this just for the chance of someone being kind/curious enough to search for a way to give back 🤷🏽‍♂️

Lost my X1 Pro-Max drone in Whistler, Canada in British Colombia, specifically around the Lost Lake trail (you can’t make this up). Here are some videos I took on my drone that’s currently on the hard drive⬇️

I set it on Cycling Mode for a far & high angle, I know that’s a risk if you’re in a tight spot, but the area I was at pretty wide but somehow the drone got slapped by a branch. Didn’t think that it would be so hard to find but after spending a little over an hour looking under every leaf/branch/dughole in the area, I can’t find it. Maybe someone has better vision than me to find it, unless someone took the drone in that short window of time before I turned around to pick it up.

Anyway, thanks in advance! Hopefully this works and perhaps inspire the Hover-Air company to invest into having a “Lost & Found” incentive for people that find lost drones and they can wreceive a discount of some sort for turning in a lost drone.
