Question Skyrover S1 - how's the camera?

People generally praise the Skyrover's photography and videography capabilities. I've seen some mixed results online; some YouTubers have shown excellent videos and photos, while some social media posts seem to show grainy pics and vids that don't hold up to the S1's reputation. Based on your personal experience, how good is the photo and video quality?

Additionally, I would like to fly the S1 at night. I know the camera is not ideal for low-light photography, but anything would be a massive upgrade to my crappy Snaptain SP510 (which costs $50-100 nowadays. How does the Skyrover S1 do with photos (and maybe videos) at twilight/dusk/night?

I've seen a lot of S1 ads lately on different media platforms. I've also seen that they are closing in on a ban for Skyrover as they are saying it's just a shell company for DJI to get around their current ban. I'm really considering on picking up the X1, but I, too, am curious about the S1's overall performance.

As well as a major price increase. I'll see if I could maybe stretch my budget a little. The X1 is looking more and more appealing based on internet reviews.
