If Holy Stone doesn't immediately hire this guy as a beta tester and instructor, they are missing a great opportunity. The best instructional video I've seen in a very long time. Thanks much. Now I'm going to maybe not crash my new drone into the nearest tree?!?
Thanks for the feedback. Good luck!
I'm 62 years old and retired from 2 Fed Gov. jobs. Drones are one of my 'new' hobbies. I've had a HS120D and an HS270 for about 2 years. I still consider myself an 'average' drone guy. I've had a DJI Air2S for about 8 months. I'm sure everyone is aware that there is a TON of TH-cam videos and Facebook groups that are very informative, especially for the 'new guys', some are very technical and others are not. Of ALL the videos I've viewed for beginners, no single video matches YOUR video for simple and UNDERSTANDABLE instruction and education, and simply how to IN LAYMAN'S terms fly a damn drone properly and safely. AMAZING 'new guy' video......Congrats! Every new 'droner' should view this video, regardless of the make and model they own.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Thanks Tom for an outstanding "How To" video. I've flown my HS120D a few times but this in-depth explanation of features and settings helps me understand my drone so much better.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm happy to hear that you found it helpful. The HS120D became much less stressful and more fun to fly once I understood all the features and functions. Good luck!
We 2
The best review out there Thanks so much
You can't get a more complete instructional video than this. Explained perfectly. Thanks.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, just had my first accident with my HD120D. You'd think I'd remember that it returns to its original point of origin when you hit return home, but no, I forgot, the drone whipped into reverse and flew right into a tree. Lost two propellers, they've been replaced, and I'm now flying "responsibly." Thank you for taking the time to create this and providing fantastic detail!
Thanks!
I just bought one of these by chance from one of my neighbors. He told me that he had no Idea on how to get started with it, and was afraid he would break it on his first flight. I'm an experienced R/C pilot having flown many types including glow powered R/C Helicopters. But, this is my very first drone. This video has been immensely helpful to me on getting acclimated with the controls and how they function. The lingo is a bit different from the R/C world that I was used to and so is the concept of flying it. I'm Glad you took the time to cover everything I needed to get started with it in one single video. After playing with the controls while watching this video, and getting used to it. I just made my very first flight with it, everything went very well without a hitch. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m happy you found the video helpful.
I'm first drone, pre-purchase mode. I've researched and settled upon this drone for my first one. I've watched most of the videos for it. NOTHING compares to what is discussed, shown, demonstrated in this amazing how-to video. I've never seen a video on TH-cam that is as detailed, complete and accurate as this one. Drone flying cannot be as easy as the pro's make it look, and that is well-demonstrated here. This will be my bible for operating my new drone. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you. Good luck!
Aged 77, I purchased my first drone, and it happened to be this one. Was very unsure of where to start, and how!! Thanks to your brilliant tutorial I, today, took my first flight. No incidents, no problems, just a perfect start to my new hobby. Can't thank you enough. All the best from the UK. Stay safe.
Thanks for the feedback. Good luck!
Hi Tom. There's always someone late to the party!! Bought one of these today. 77 years old and wanted to try something different. Excited but at the same time slightly scared!! Absolutely first class tuition. Many thanks. I'll get back to you when I get it in the air. Stay safe, all the best from the UK
Thank you! Good luck!
I'm only half way through this an already felt compelled to say..
This is the most well thought out piece of work I've ever seen this far.
There's no need to look any further than this masterpiece of real use information anyone would need for thier HS120D.
Demonstrations and scenarios discussed are Truely Magnificent sir !
Love the humor !
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it!
@@dontscrewitup
My Pleasure !
I did tech support, created User tutorials with step by step illustrations as needed,
for applications and hardware. And Downtime procedures as well....
....At least until the freaking pestilence hit and the hospital system I worked for started handing out "alleged" Temporary furloughs then severenced most of those people.
But anyway....I can genuinely appreciate what it took for you to prepare for that.
Go Browns !
Tom, You are brilliant. Thank YOU for taking your personal time to go through all the potential problems and making it easier for us beginners. You are a good man.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
A very comprehensive tutorial. Every begginer drone flyer should learn from this.
Thank you!
I just want you to know that I really appreciate all the time and effort you spent producing this video. I know it wasn’t easy, but you sure have helped a lot of people figure this drone out, including myself. Thank you man
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Very useful. I’ve had mine 3 years and just now getting it out. I’ll watch this video several times. Thanks
Good luck!
Your video on this drone is outstanding. One of the best instructional videos on just about any topic. I fly RC airplanes and I needed a drone to find those planes that have disappeared into the wheat field, cornfield, twilight zone, etc. That is why I bought this drone. I have never had a drone. You have saved me time and money. Salute to you. You should be paid by the Holy Stone company. Thanks again.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
This is the best video on the HS120D setup and functionality that I have seen. It is extremely beneficial, and I encourage anyone with this drone to watch it. It definitely will make it easy for you to get started.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this!! I just received my drone yesterday and I watched the video three time last night. I flew my drone 5 times today no crashes! Between the drone and this video, it is a great Father’s Day weekend!
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you Tom!
Your video is amazing. I have this drone for over a year and could never understand all the features you presented in your video. I have already watched it twice and made myself a cheat sheet so I could remember it all. The last time I flew it about a year ago , after I took off the drone just took off and flew away. After hitting RTH button nothing happened. I was ion a very large field and after about an hour of searching, I found it in some tall grass. That ended me flying it.
I now feel much more confident, and can start flying again, and enjoy it !!
Many thanks to you !!
Thanks for the feedback. You probably had your RTH altitude set too high. Good luck!
Brilliant video. Perfection. So thankful you posted this. Im new at this and you answered every question. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Thank you for the feedback!
Not only was this informative, and actually know how the drone works finally. You had me and my mrs in stitches laughing. thanks Tom!!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Good luck!
Great video! Helped this 70 year old guy. Thanks
Thanks! Good luck!
I stopped using my drone because I couldn't figure it out to where I was comfortable flying it. So I thank you for taking the time to do a in depth video of all the steps, flaws, and pro's of this drone. Much appreciated
Thank you!
Good job. For all you instruction writers out there, this is how you do it.
Thanks!
The best tutorial whatsoever.
Thank you.
This is the new benchmark for all drone videos. Awesome job!
Thank you. That’s how I roll. 😉
@@dontscrewitup What SIM card do you recommend and how many Gigabytes will it handle?
I bought a 64GB SanDisk micro SD card for about $11. There is confusing documentation on the max capacity. Some of the manufacturer documentation says it can handle up to 128GB but other places it says 64GB so I played it safe. But I have seen other people post that it will work with 128GB.
@@dontscrewitup Arrrrgh! Last question. Just had a DUH! moment. I actually have the HS100 (GPS) not the HS120. Looks identical though. I'm brand new at drones so do you suspect that most everything in the video also applies to the HS100? Also the camera looks the same but mine takes a TF card (or maybe a micro SD) that inserts from the side. It looked like you pulled yours out from the back.
I don’t have the HS100 but others have commented that the vast majority of this video also applies to that model.
Just want to say thank you you're the first person to really get into detail ty
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
Excellent video, a lot of work went into this, everyone who is buying this or has bought it should watch this
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
That’s why I’m here, and dido great vid
@@dontscrewitup l ĺ(
No we shouldn’t lol
Super clear and very amusing too. Just bought this for flying over ruins in Ireland. Invaluable.
Thank you! Good luck flying.
Best drone explanation I have ever seen. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I have had my drone for 3 weeks now and haven't even powered it up because, as you said, the instructions suck. Now I feel like I can actually fly this thing without trashing it immediately. My sincerest thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. Good luck!
Thanks for clarifying one major point. I'm not a complete idiot for pounding my head against the wall trying to get the hang of this drone for the past year.
Thanks.
I only had it for a week or so and flew my hs100d in headless mode into a bush. As I got up to it I saw that one motor wouldn't stop spinning even when I turned the drone and the controller off. I unplugged the battery, plugged it back and the one prop would start spinning again! Now all 3 props except that one spin, rendering it useless. I actually watched a video on taking it apart. Found a black wire on the faulty prop that has come undone from the motherboard. But for $100 it was a good learning experience as I work up the courage to fly the DJI FPV I bought almost 6 months ago! I just ordered another Holy Stone though for practice, but one with with the GPS, Return to Home etc.
Sorry to hear about that. These drones are a high risk hobby.
Tom, you are THE MASTER of tutorials! Got the HS120D up and running after one viewing. Could not have operated this drone without your expert guidance. Many thanks.
Thank you!
After watching this video I could just cry. I have been trying to figure this thing out for years. Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to do this. Can’t wait to get it out again after watching this. Thanks again!!
Thanks for the feedback. Good luck!
Thanks for the quick reply Tom! I just started the Drone up, and flew it VERY carefully in my yard, but yes I will definitely call the customer support through HolyDrone. Thanks again for your help, and that independent video. 👍
Thanks!
Thank you very much for taking the time tome such a detailed step by step guide to this Drone. My wife gave our 27 year old son and myself these for Christmas. After watching through the 3-C's I couldn't wait any longer and had to go out and fly it. First two flights no issues and then th e last one my daughter asked how far towards the hill could I go and when it got so I couldn't tell which way it was headed I ended up sticking it into a weeping willow tree. LOL Took a little time to get it out but no damage. Just finished watching the rest of the video and thankful for all the effort you put into this.
Thank you. Happy to hear you got yours out of the tree. Good luck!
Great job! I got mine a week ago. I had a cheaper drone and this one works great! I only had a small crash at my first time, but a lot easier than the cheap one I had. I took it slow and learned hovering and turning and up and down. Then the second time, I went higher and did a few videos higher and rotated around. I couldn’t figure out how to pivot the camera up and down, but you answered that question and others. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the feedback!
This is simply the best most informative review I have ever read, ever. Good Man Tom
Thank you! It’s almost as if TH-cam is the perfect platform for videos like this instead of “Learn how to fly a drone in 4 minutes.” 🙂👍👍
This dude was boring just read the manual and that’s it that’s what I did and I was a first time user.
this has to be the BEST video of any kind i have seen on facebook. ty for taking the time to make it, and making it easy to understand for first timers like myself..
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. Good luck! 👍
Hello again Tom. I have now watched the entire video and once again I say "Thank you so much". Regards Michael
Thanks!
I have just looked at your channel and notice that all the videos you have uploaded are 1 year old.. Have you stopped? Your method of "teaching" is excellent. Regards Michael
Thanks for the video. Learning a lot. One thing that's not mentioned here is if you are having trouble connecting to the drones wifi, try turning off your phone data. That did the trick for me.
Thanks.
Hi Tom, this is Shirley from Holystone. Thank you for sharing the important info to beginners. They will learn much from your video. Good job!
Thank you!
Awesome video Thx! Got today my HS120D :-) And the best part is that you also give a lot of 'general' explanations that I can also implement with my other drones.
Thank you! Good luck with you drones!
Absolutely the best guide I've seen for this drone. Thanks so much for making this video.
Thanks!
many, many thanks. One of the most informative and comprehensive tutorials I have had the pleasure of viewing. You are a good teacher and have cleared up many issues for me. Thanks again buddy!
Thank you!
Tom, I just watched your video for the first time, but I know I'll be watching it several times more. Thank you for an extremely well thought out and intelligent teaching tool. Great job!
Thanks. Good luck.
Tom, if I could hit the Thumbs Up 100 times I would. I have watched a few segments and shall come back for the remainder. Great explanations which have shown me where I am going wrong. Thank you VERY much. Regards Michael
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
This is a great video. Thank you!I just bought this model and came across this very detailed tutorial. Saving this for future reference for sure. You won't believe what I paid for this drone. I see it goes for $160 on Amazon. I bought one new open box on Mercari with a promotion for $30 off a $70 purchase. Offered $70, offer accepted. I ended up paying $40 for this. CHA-CHING!! That's a lot of tech for the money!
That’s great. Thanks!
You are a great instructor. Thank you for your detailed instruction.
Thanks!
I've just ordered this model and have never used a drone before, so a complete newbie to this. I've watched your video from start to finish and have also booked marked it so i can keep recapping on the sections I will need to replay. Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to produce this, you now have a new subscriber. Paul 🎨
Thanks! Good luck!
Thank you so much , for taking the time to explain everything, it’s given me a lot of confidence to have fun with my drone
Thank you for the feedback. Good luck!
Thank you Tom, amazing video!! Just bought this drone for my grandson. You're video answered a lot of questions. Again thank you!! 10 out of 10!!
Thank you for the feedback. Good luck!
Tom, your video is amazing! Thanks for doing all the work to figure out how my drone really works. Highly recommend new HS120D owners watch this video. There's a lot of stuff you'll never find in the documentation and some of it's pretty important.
Thanks you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
This guy is awsome teacher .....Thank you .....Congratulations ...Holy stone was supposed to hire you ...Thank you
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
Great work Tom. I have watched this video twice and now feel much more confident flying my drone. You put a lot of work into this. Holy stone should include this with every drone they sell!
Thanks!
Very well done. Thanks for putting this together. Saved me a lot of frustration.
Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for the video. I just unpacked my HS120D after many idle years and I had no Idea how to use it. I just got done flying it at it was fun.
Good luck!
Thank you for your invalubale time Sir.
ppl like you are making this planet sweet to live
Thank you. Good luck.
Very nice work, Tom. Lordy, you put in a lot of time into this video. I've watched your video, and will now watch it "again"...[before] my drone arrives later this week. Thank you, Tom. Take care.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. (I had a lot of time on my hands, pre-vaccination).
Thank you for doing this long video. I dont have to look around for tutorials. I will watch till my first launch.
Thanks. Good luck! 👍
Best tutorial I’ve seen yet! Thanks Tom!
Thank you for the feedback!
Many thanks Tom, very helpful video. This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. You deserve an award.
Thank you!
Excelente tutorial, gracias
Thank you!
WoW! This is an awesome how to video!! I am a beginner and had no idea what I was doing. Thank you for the great detail!!
Thank you. Good luck! 👍
Taking pictures with the controller I get a beep but no pix. I had this same problem before, but I forgot how to fix it. It was fixed before. And no the video isn't running. Great video. It's great to use it as a refresher.
Sorry I don’t recall what causes that problem. I’ve seen it intermittently also. Can you take a photo by pressing the screen button on the app?
I agree with everyone, you made a great in depth video. I'm saving your video to my favorites. THANK YOU!
Thanks!
Very good. Glad I found this video because I am getting back into flying. It's been two years since flying last. Thank you..
Thank you! Good luck.
Awesome Video. THANK YOU!!!! for all the work and documentation! It is now dark and snowing and I want to take it out and try it out. I will wait until conditions are better.
Thank for the feedback!
Thanks for your common sense and very clear explanations. Invaluable and huge thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
This is the best instructional drone video I've ever seen. Fantastic job Tom!
Thank you! I had a lot of time on my hands during the pandemic. 😀 And I was learning myself, so I was asking all the possible questions one may have.
OUTSTANDING! This is THE BEST instructional video that I have ever seen. I teach high school, and every instructor should take note of Tom's methodical process of instruction.
Thank you for the feedback! (I guess I missed my calling, but hopefully it’s not too late). 🙂
Great video, thanks for your time for this high quality production.
Thanks.
Thank you so much Tom. As a first time drone owner you really helped me wrap my head around how to do this.
Thank you for the feedback. Good luck!
Fantastic job! Best tutorial video I've ever watched! Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Amazing video! I watched start to finish. This was a great deep dive that answered all my questions. All the other videos I saw barely scratched the surface and the manual straight up sucks. Now I have some confidence with understanding how the thing functions.
Thank you! Good luck.
Best “How To” ever! Holy smokes why aren’t you writing the manuals for Holy Stone? Thanks for putting this out there.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate that. I guess I had a lot of time on my hands during the pandemic! 😀
Just bought One long vid but enjoy every clip . Thank you very much ❤
Thanks!
Complete and fantastic review! Love the final scenes of the cliff area too.
Thanks!
This is the most useful video that I have found. It came up after the useless video the app sends you to. This is my first as well. Very well presented. I love the way you follow the KISS principle .. I’ll be watching more of you videos.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Good luck.
So glad I found your Video. Here I am 2 hours later feeling much more informed and confident. Curious what your background is, this was a top notch instructional video that you spent an incredible amount of time putting together. Thanks again!
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I recently retired after 30 years in business consulting. I spent a little over a week putting this video together. I was frustrated with the lack of documentation that came with the drone (especially for beginners) so I made the type of video that I wished I had found as I was trying to learn how to fly this drone. Thanks again.
Thanks!!! Just got this drone. Great help!
Thanks. Good luck.
Excellent video!! I am so glad I found this video now. This video is invaluable if you have this drone.
Thanks.
What a great vid! As a real newby I have found this fantastically helpful, have watched it all the way through twice :-) Thank you so much for bothering to put this together, KUDOS, Top Man.
Thank you for the feedback!
Fantastic!! Excellent work!
Thanks!
Thanks for this video, excellent job.
Thank you!
Incredible detailed instruction, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Most explained video about the drone features on whole youtube. I don't need to return my drone back to amazon now. Thank you for the great job 👏
Thanks for the feedback. Good luck!
Thank you Tom. A link to your video should be provided by default with every drone purchase! 💯🎯🏆
Just like you mentioned I also read the manual first. Being a beginner I hated the fact that the manual that came with this is red hot garbage & sucks so bad that when I purchased this same drone two years ago I felt so overwhelmed.
Sad to say but I do admit to unboxing it & never flying it once and have kept it in the case ever since.
Today is a new day though.😎 Taking notes and and will replay & revisit this game changing video!
Being a visual learner I appreciate you sir for all the illustrations in your video as well as you candor...much respect.☮️🎯💯 #strongwork 💪🏾
Thank you 🙏
That was hands down the best instructional video on a drone I have ever seen. 👌Great job, and thank you sir. Holystone should be paying you for this.
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
This is definitely helping me out. Thank you for posting this !!!
Thank you.
Tom
Thank you for your video.Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks!
Dude I love your perspective on this I'm a cnc machinist and I am working with multi-axis machining which is just as confusing as the different operating systems of drones and aviation 😂keep up your work I'm a subscriber now thanks for the help and great information about this done
Thank you!
Outstanding knowledge transfer! You are a gifted instructor and the summary notes are very handy for an old guy with poor memory.
Thanks so much for creating this vid!
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Tom....you are a frigging saint. Thanks
Thank you so much. I had some time on my hands at the time and was happy to do this.
Thanks Tom. That was a big big help.
Thank you.
Excellent video thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you!
Awesome job on this video. 👏 thanks for the assist.
Thank you!
Brilliant video well done and thanks Tom
Thank you.
Excellent video, thank you for that
Thank you.
Dude! Not sure how this was cued up, but grateful.
Thanks!
