I’m a newbie here, I just received my HS720E today my brother has lots of experience and he sent me this video that I keep re watching to memorize everything and already drove my drone today and ufffff not a single accident, not bad for first time user. 🤙🏼
I just bought this and the code worked for me. However, not really paying attention to the discount when I checked out and paid I realized I only got 15% off not 25% :(
Excellent video and flight test. I have had this drone for a month now and weather kept me from flying for a couple weeks. Went out yesterday with grandkids and it was awesome. 8 year old flew the drone without issues and it was grins all the way! Nice drone, buy one...you won't regret it!
Just ordered this same one on Ebay today. You're not the only one giving thumbs up to this drone, but I needed more convincing and your video was the cherry on top. Thanks for the review. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
Many thanks for these videos. Bought a 720E over a year ago but forgot all the basics . After watching your videos I'm up and running fine. Cheers from the other side of the pond here in the UK.
My son bought me this drone for Christmas. What a cool little device! Thanks for the great video. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable flying it around!
Donnie, that is an awesome drone!! As I said in the last comment to the other video, I am going back through some of the older videos and watching. This drone has a lot of great features, like tracking you, that would be awesome when walking and getting footage. Just so many features and flight time!! Again, thanks for all the reviews you do bud. Juddie - J & J TOA
I was given a HS720E for Christmas. My wife consulted with my son and he found this to be one of the best for a beginner. We've had snow on the ground for a couple of weeks so I'm getting anxious to try it out. Thank you for your great videos. I had read the manual several times but still picked up some great info from your video.
Your welcome, once you get the hang of it and you will enjoy it. Just take your time, make small movements with the controls when filming and you will be fine. Watch for birds, seagulls,hawks,etc… they love to attack at times. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Well, I was able to get out and fly the 720 today. I went slow, did some square, horizonal patterns, worked on up and down movements, did some circles and shot a 360 degree video from about 60 feet and snapped a couple of pictures. Photos and video look great and flight was very enjoyable. I knew if I turned the head towards me, everything would be backwards which was good practice. It is odd, for sure. Thanks again for all you do.
Any information on the drone would be appreciated the one that does not have the e model is 75dollars cheaper please let me no the difference before ordering from Amazon Mike Holden out of north Carolina said that thanks again
Great job on the video. I wish you lived near me. I flew my drone twice this past Sunday and first time took off, flew into trees, came back, thank God! Second time took it out in the middle of large field, it took off again, flew into trees about 120 yards away, hit trees and dropped on its back. I got lucky both times.
Just make sure your not around any high 5g towers. Also make sure when you calibrate the gps compass, that there is no metal close to the drone. Like concrete, your phone, that will Interfere with the Drones’ calibration. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you get it figured out. If you keep having problems then you may have to just contact Amazon or holystone and get a replacement.
Hi! And thank you for getting back to me. The 2nd time nothing was in the area. I actually called HS today and they sent me to your TH-cam video. 😊 I will try again this weekend. I know this drone is a good one so I won’t give up. Funny, I’ve been in construction for 35 years and can build you a house but I can’t fly this doggone drone. I hope the 3rd time is a charm. Thanks again. If I don’t get it this time, I may just fly you to Philly. 😊
Your welcome, I know you will get it. It took me a week solid flying the SYMA x5c when I started. With gps drones sometimes can be a little difficult with the gps compasses. These drones are still not professional grade, so they sometimes needs to be recalibrated if it acts up on the first take off. I had problems at a place I like to fly, the soil is high iron content. The soil would interfere with the drones calibration. The soil would even set my metal detector off. Well I hope all goes well, if not then have it refunded or replaced.
Awesome review my brother. Mine is on it's way. After watching this, I can't wait to review it. HolyStone definitely stepped up their game with this one, it looks like it has a gimbal and the video you shot was smooth as silk!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
SOUL FORCE QUADS Thanks so much DJ, hopefully the smoke clears along the coast. I want to go take it to my parents property and shoot some video of the ocean
Camera Software yes. But look and frame style is different. The bugs has its camera on the outside bottom as well and this is hs720e is in the nose. I’m sure it’s the same just different body.
I got one in past few days and flew it yesterday. Man it was windy as heck, so not a good idea to fly during higher winds, especially around obstacles. I flew it again today with much prettier weather. This thing will sit in one spot for the whole battery life. Super easy to fly if you've flown anything before. I think my headless mode got turned on and had me out of whack, but I know where to fix that. Good review.
Great learning tool. I watched your unboxing review of this drone and ordered it on Amazon. I'm a prime member so it will be here Thursday. I'll be watching this a couple more times before it gets here so I can take in all the information you just covered. Thanks.
I've never owned a drone. I did research for a few days and landed on buying this one. Ordered it yesterday THEN I decided to start watching reviews. How backwards right lol? I'm glad your review made me feel better about the purchase, it arrives tomorrow. Great review! Thanks!
I should've ordered the extra battery though lol. Enjoying this thing for 25 minutes at a time then having to wait 5-7 hours ir the charge ain't cool lol
Just wanted to say, such a damn cool video. You did a very nice job and now I feel like I finally have the confidence to go out and fly and get some cool footage. Thanks for producing it.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks! I'm in Canada and have to register due to weight. I passed the basic written exam. I've flown the HS120D with a little success, heavy on the little lol Question please? Do you use only Ophelia Go or do you also use the M RC Pro Mod?
ordered mine nov 15th 2021 and got it nov 17th 2021 on my birthday. first ever drone and your vid helped me get flying. now to just get it registered lol
Nice "initial" review video, thanks for sharing. Impressive how capable such a small device is, with the winds that high up etc. and it remains stable so that you can view images clearly. Go Sac. I'm pretty close to you in Dixon, CA. So here we are about a year later, how has this Drone behaved so far?
Super review. I am new to Drones and you answered so many questions about the capabilities and flight potential of the HS720E. Thank you for putting in my legwork and now I will let Ms. Santa know what Mr. Santa needs under the tree. Say positive and test negative, Merry Christmas.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks for the video, and information. I'm new to drones, just about 3 weeks with a HS175D, a couple of crashes survived, and only just beginning to get comfortable with flying my drone. I plan to stick with the HS175D while learning, but watch a lot of videos, and think (for now) the HS720E might be a good 'next upgrade' for me, in time. I appreciate that you have discussed here, more than one detail that is not readily available in the (HS175D's) manual....ie Clockwise vs counter clockwise rotation during calibration. Lots of others making reviews, seem to assume that they're talking to other 'experienced drone operators', and gloss over many details (seemingly) to them mundane, but still unknown and important to many of us just trying to learn. I've yet to find a good video on the 175D, that discusses (for instance) the exact sequence of turning on the drone with a fresh batter,y and through the steps that will lead to reliable, successful acquisition of satellites and green light on the phone (app) screen, ready to unlock and fly. Seems like every day, I have trouble at first acquiring satellites and getting green light atop screen of the app. After the first time, then often get satellites very easily in subsequent flights. I've had to turn off the drone, close the app, and turn off the controller and just start over 2,3, or four times at the start of a flight session or new day, in order to 'get connected'. Can't figure if it's me and my 'pre-flight' routine, or the drone/transmitter? Anyways, thanks for the video on the HS720E. Really enjoyed it, and will be looking at your other videos soon. Don
Thanks for watching, I still have to review the hs175 I was sent back in June. Hopefully I can get to it soon, I’m just having medical issues atm. Thanks again and hopefully I can get this hs175 up and flying good.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Hope you're feeling better soon. As a side note, I have the HS175D is the upgraded version of the hs175. It now has brushless motors and is black color instead of white. Thanks, Don.
Your going to like it, it’s a nice drone. Still in low speed when your looking to get that cinematic look. Sport mode is more for hurrying to get to a spot or out. Cheers and thanks for watching.
Oh my goodness, I used to love that Syma too. that X5C was the best. LOL. I just received my HS720e and loving it. This thing is so smooth it is pleasantly surprising. Keep flying BigDrone. Salute
Thank you so much for watching and for the awesome comment. So many of us learn to fly those drones off of the x5c. I’m glad you enjoy the hs720e. Cheers
Hello how are you? I have a question. I have this drone when i fly it it keeps shaking from the air. I can’t get a stable video . I can’t get a video like yours . Can you help please? Thanks
I think it's really awesome drone really nice and like you said the camera is like it's got a gamble stabilisation is excellent on it I like my friend and flies really well and the video is really clear steady and stable that definitely is a nice little quad I like it alot nice job on the flight review I enjoy that also your videos are always excellent you do a tremendous job on him and I enjoy it take care of my friend I hope you're doing well be safe and have a wonderful and blessed day and happy flying bro
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC you're welcome my brother try to wear face masks or something so you won't have to breathe all that ashes and smoke take care and I'll see you soon have a wonderful and blessed day bro
is it me or did the orbit mode just spin in a circle, maybe I'm misunderstanding but when i hear orbit mode you would think it would go around a central object not stay in play and spin.
Have you replaced the arm and motor yet? Mine crashed after an unexplained 180 degree flip right after auto take off and smashed to the ground. The replacement arms and motor show just the arm and motor, but the HolyStone video show the wiring loom cut and a new one threaded back in and re-soldered. HolyStone hasn't yet returned my e-mail. The arems and motors are available on Amazon or E-Bay at about 34 bucks.
If you bought it from Amazon, you should be able to replace the drone all together. I haven’t had any problems with mine, you sure your propellers are on the right motors? I had that happen to me before. I would definitely contact Amazon and request a replacement or refund. Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you get it sorted out.

Very nice drone Donnie. Thank you for sharing the test flight. 👍👌
I wish this drone was out when I purchased the HS720 2K version. I enjoy flying mine but as the months go on, the remote left joystick has a bit of a sticking problem which is bad when flying. The video feed distances is horrible and from video, that hasn’t changed. Just like mine, great starter drone but you will be looking for something better like I did.
Thanks for watching, I’m just reviewing this one for HolyStone. I have my DJI Mavic air 2 and other dji’s for my professional filming. This is a great drone for someone going from beginner and heading towards the Intermediate hobby grade gps brushless drone. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend
Finally got a winner there Donnie. Better than the last couple of lemons. Curious, do you still have that Upair One you did a review on a couple years ago? I have one but never fly it much since I got my Mini and MA2.
I don’t have it anymore, I got rid of it a year ago or so. Thanks so much, I need to get my MA2 up in the air. DJI sent it back and send the firmware issues are solved. I have so nd filters I need to review for the company Freewell.
I have the original 2.5k version and the 4k version both not stabilized the video quality is so much better with the EIS version. They are good flyers but the EIS makes filming actually useable.
If this one does not work out for you, I would get a Dji. It’s well worth saving for, so return this one if you end up not happy with it. With the Dji it’s like flying a caddie out of all drones.
That’s good, that’s why I have a Dji . I review these drones, but when there as much as a Dji that’s crazy. These are still considered toy grade drones and I try letting everyone know. Drawings are getting affordable now that it’s better to just get a professional drum for the same price. Glad you’re getting the DJI. Have fun my friend upgrade later to a mavic air 2. That’s been my favorite drone so far.
I don't see many Wi-Fi signal bars on my Samsung S8+ once I connect. The camera works, as I see it in the Phone. IS the Drone supposed to also connect to a home Wi-Fi too?...Thanks fellow Sacto guy!!!!
The drones WiFi to your phone only, no house WiFi. The WiFi sign is at the top of your phone to right. It is a WiFi 3 line logo when your on the drones app.
Hi Captain! I am curious Holystone HS720 E versus MJX Bugs 20 EIS comparison, who will win? they seem to be both identical in the camera department. Thanks!
I prefer the HolyStone hs720e over the MJX bugs 20. The hs720e is foldable and I feel is a better flyer. Next week I will be reviewing the mjx bugs 12 eis. Which it’s more like the HolyStone hs720e, so look forward to that review soon. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.
the lens doesn't move that smooth, when do I put GPS on or off? I got a little confused. I was trying to keep the stabled level, still hard to control, the video comes out not that balanced level.
With the orbit mode, are you able to select like a group of people dancing in unison, so they never spread out much, and get a full cinematic 360⁰ orbital view of them all automatically, or does that require manual attention?
Nice drone review. Which is better to buy? That holystone or dji mavic mini? Both are on my budget capacity. Do we need to register it? Even if I'm not going to use it here in canada. I'm planning to use it only when I go to vacation in the Philippines and leave it their.
Hi Donni, I am new to your channel here and this video was a really great video of the 720E. I've been wanting to get a drone for pretty much the sole purpose of having it in a SHTF scenario, doing some reconnaissance checks from a short distance away. With all this civil unrest crap going on, I want to keep a drone in my trunk just in case shit goes down where I work, I work near the downtown in my area and we're experiencing some of this civil unrest crap too close to my work, with these so-called "peaceful protesters" and its getting a little unsettling nowadays and getting worse. So, having a drone would be a good thing to have so I could put it up in the air to just scout a safe route home as the local police won't tell us which streets are being blocked off. I also saw a fantastic video of the Mini the other day from the TH-cam channel The Urban Prepper who did a great video of the Mini and how he uses Dronelink with it and that video alone is prompting me to buy the Mini. I like the fact its packed into a small enough case that I can carry it in my backpack which I keep with me at all times at work. But I really like your presentation and so my question is...do you know if Dronelink will work with this Holy Stone 720E?? Great video and thanks for taking the time to share...and yes, we're dealing with the smoke down here in SoCal as well. Thanks again and be safe... James
Thanks James for watching, this is a nice flying and easy to use drone. Just remember the faa rules of flying over people, it’s a big fine and dangerous. If you have 450 you can also buy a DJI Mavic mini that is a sold drone as well. For the price this will do the job. Cheers and be safe.
Thanks for watching and I totally understand. With the 25% coupon and 20$ off at checkout, that brings the price to $239.99 usd. The price will drop more, it just come out. Just like DJI , look how cheap the spark and Mavic mini has gotten. Thanks for watching
I have several Phantom 3's and 4's , a couple of hubsans and I just spent the morning ordering the Holystone 720E, for less than half the price of those others. It looks like, from these reviews I'm watching, that it will be money well spent. I do have one question tho, what kind of range can you get out of it?
Thanks Mitch for watching. I have not done a range test yet. I been out only 400 meters while filming, I haven’t had anyone to help spot me. So only line of sight for now.
I have about 5 hours of flight time now and I really like my 720E. So far I would say that my only notes are that the Ophelia GPS app will not work, and I am using Ophelia Go as a result. I cannot seem to get data from the sdcard to download to the phone (can see, can select, can do nothing else from within Ophelia) so I have to pull it to collect data. I find that even GPS, gryo, calibration all green that it will tend to drift slowly in hover and landing can be hairy as a result especially given as the motors seem resistant to shutdown.
Michael Reed you can always hit the emergency stop to shut the motors down. With mine I use a 32gb for filming and have to use a video reader to play it on my phone. A lot of Phones can’t pick up the 4k video and also some struggle reading the 1080p 60fps. For me I don’t have a PC so I have to edit everything in 1080p from my iPhone. I’m glad you enjoy the drone Michael, thanks for stopping by. Have a great one my friend.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC As a note, I learned of the emergency kill from your vid, not the manual, but... I keep practicing, hoping to do it normally. To be clear, at this price point, this drone is amazing.
How was the footage once you placed the SD card into your home Computer? I am trying to decide between this drone and the DJI Mavic Mini. The DJI is way more expensive.
200 more you can get the Mavic mini, just save up if you can. The mini will be much better. I don’t have a PC so I edit everything from my iPhone. So I don’t get to see the 4k video because I have to film in 1080p 60fps
Electronic image stabilization in the camera for stable filming. Some added on flight options in the app and controller. The big upgrade is the camera and cameras software. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.
The hs720e speed I’m not to sure, it’s has a tripod mode that goes very slow. Then there is a sport mode that is a decent speed. It’s range is 3200ft. I would choose the hs720e, the video is so much better and stable.
F11 has 2 pros, one has a 3 axis gimbal with eis. So I’m not sure about that one, I have not reviewed it. If it’s the Regular pro version with no gimbal or EIS, then I would have to choose the HS720E
Thanks for the video, I’m ready to buy my first drone for my birthday 🥳 I believe this one would be a good start, how long does the regular battery last ? Do you think I should buy an extra battery ( íes ) ? Thanks
Thanks for watching, you should be able to get good 16 mins or more. I always like to have 2 batteries, you just never know if your going to need it. Thanks again and check on a dji mini or mini 2 as well, some times you can fine a professional drone on sale. Cheers!
Dragon power, Yes it does have that option. That's the nice part about this drone. It does give you the option. It will record to both and give you the choice in the application which one you want to view or use the phone or the sd card. If you don't want to use the phone then just fly with the sd card in drone alone and use the transmitter to start and stop and it will record to the sd card only.
My old mjx bugs I used to calibrate that way. I haven’t seen any directions recommending a walk around for a few years now. This drone you do not, just have to calibrate like I demonstrate in the video. Thanks for watching. Have a great one. Sorry for the late reply.
Stuart Lindsay my Mavic air 1 and 2 are both of coarse way better and not on the same level. This hs720e is still in the Transition of toy drone to hobby grade drone. So no Comparison at this time with the DJI products. This is a nice drone for someone starting out. Plus only has a couple hundred to spin and doesn’t have $1000 to spend on a Dji.
Hey Donnie! Just got one for my birthday. Me and my dad can’t figure out how to get the drone to pass over 16m high and about 300 ft of range. Can you help?
Hey happy birthday. Make sure you take the drone out of beginner mode on the drone app. If not you can only go about 20m out, thanks for watching and hopefully this helps.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Yess! It helped amazingly. However while I’m flying it it typically glichtes out ( loses connection ) when flying manually about 100m away. I made sure to set the maximum range, height, etc. in the app. Thanks!
What's the difference in the price of the drone if you don't purchase the e model the regular one that's not the e model is cheaper they want over 3 hundred for the one you are working with thinking about purchasing one could you tell me the difference I could save 75 dollars too go with the other model would like too no before ordering Amazon has both could I get by with the cheaper one please let me no great video as always I purchased the 120 d after watching your video on it luv the holy stone and you do such a great job thanks for all your videos I watch before ordering thanks again and keep the great work up Michael Holden out of north Carolina said that any information would be greatly appreciated thanks again
Bought one of these, and it's great; however, had a little mishap while flying indoors with one of my curtains. Was wondering if you knew of any aftermarket blade guards that I can attach to the arms. Holy Stone doesn't appear to have any for this particular model.
Can anyone help me with my HolyStone720E? When I turn it on, even though the battery is fully charged on the drone, when I turn the remote on it shows “no battery” and the the drone shows green flash lights. This is my second drone already and I can not figure it out. Am I doing something wrong?

Ordered it yesterday THEN I decided to start watching reviews. How backwards right lol? I'm glad your review made me feel better about the purchase, it arrives tomorrow. Great review!
Thanks!
Thank you so much I really appreciate it. You’ll like the drone, have fun and be safe my friend
I just did the same.. lol
I should've ordered the extra battery though lol. Enjoying this thing for 25 minutes at a time then having to wait 5-7 hours ir the charge ain't cool lol
I know it
@@TravelWriteLive 2 batteries included in UK sets
Yep, EIS pretty sweet. They are doing it now, finally.
That’s for sure 😍👍🍻
Just wanted to say, such a damn cool video. You did a very nice job and now I feel like I finally have the confidence to go out and fly and get some cool footage. Thanks for producing it.
Thanks Mike so much😃👍
23 mins !
From a complete newb, thank you. Just ordered this drone. Can't wait to fly.
I hope you enjoy, just keep practicing and don’t give up. Thanks for watching
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks! I'm in Canada and have to register due to weight. I passed the basic written exam. I've flown the HS120D with a little success, heavy on the little lol
Question please? Do you use only Ophelia Go or do you also use the M RC Pro Mod?
You betcha and I use the Ophelia app.
ordered mine nov 15th 2021 and got it nov 17th 2021 on my birthday. first ever drone and your vid helped me get flying. now to just get it registered lol
Awesome, thanks for watching!
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC no, thank you! Very helpful.
That's a keeper. 👍👍👍👍flys nice. Great job Donnie
Thanks Mr. Ray, 😍👍🍻
Nice "initial" review video, thanks for sharing. Impressive how capable such a small device is, with the winds that high up etc. and it remains stable so that you can view images clearly. Go Sac. I'm pretty close to you in Dixon, CA. So here we are about a year later, how has this Drone behaved so far?
Thanks so much, it’s a good drone. I’m going to give it away on a future video.
Super review. I am new to Drones and you answered so many questions about the capabilities and flight potential of the HS720E. Thank you for putting in my legwork and now I will let Ms. Santa know what Mr. Santa needs under the tree. Say positive and test negative, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and have a great weekend
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks for the video, and information. I'm new to drones, just about 3 weeks with a HS175D, a couple of crashes survived, and only just beginning to get comfortable with flying my drone. I plan to stick with the HS175D while learning, but watch a lot of videos, and think (for now) the HS720E might be a good 'next upgrade' for me, in time. I appreciate that you have discussed here, more than one detail that is not readily available in the (HS175D's) manual....ie Clockwise vs counter clockwise rotation during calibration. Lots of others making reviews, seem to assume that they're talking to other 'experienced drone operators', and gloss over many details (seemingly) to them mundane, but still unknown and important to many of us just trying to learn. I've yet to find a good video on the 175D, that discusses (for instance) the exact sequence of turning on the drone with a fresh batter,y and through the steps that will lead to reliable, successful acquisition of satellites and green light on the phone (app) screen, ready to unlock and fly. Seems like every day, I have trouble at first acquiring satellites and getting green light atop screen of the app. After the first time, then often get satellites very easily in subsequent flights. I've had to turn off the drone, close the app, and turn off the controller and just start over 2,3, or four times at the start of a flight session or new day, in order to 'get connected'. Can't figure if it's me and my 'pre-flight' routine, or the drone/transmitter? Anyways, thanks for the video on the HS720E. Really enjoyed it, and will be looking at your other videos soon. Don
I will read your comment as soon as I get home.
Thanks for watching, I still have to review the hs175 I was sent back in June. Hopefully I can get to it soon, I’m just having medical issues atm. Thanks again and hopefully I can get this hs175 up and flying good.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Hope you're feeling better soon. As a side note, I have the HS175D is the upgraded version of the hs175. It now has brushless motors and is black color instead of white. Thanks, Don.
Got mine last week and loving it. Got it cheaper then Amazon price which made me really pull the trigger on it.
Awesome, thanks so much for watching
i bought this used for 120,,,never used,,,,its too complicated for me,,,but it is amazing,,i need to learn it well
I just ordered one from Amazon, I'll get it on 10/1/2020
Your going to like it, it’s a nice drone. Still in low speed when your looking to get that cinematic look. Sport mode is more for hurrying to get to a spot or out. Cheers and thanks for watching.
Im getting mines on January 5 2021. Are they good drones?
Glad your happy with yours, thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness, I used to love that Syma too. that X5C was the best. LOL. I just received my HS720e and loving it. This thing is so smooth it is pleasantly surprising. Keep flying BigDrone. Salute
Thank you so much for watching and for the awesome comment. So many of us learn to fly those drones off of the x5c. I’m glad you enjoy the hs720e. Cheers
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Stay tuned for my videos.
Awesome 👍
very nice video so I ordered one 👌👌
Thank you for thhe video.I bought one of these,and it definitely performs above its price point.Liked,and subbed
Beginner here, great video sir. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching and don’t give up if you have a hard time at the beginning. A good solid week of flying you will be doing figure 8’s.
I have one like it but I don't know how to fly can you teach me what to do
Hello how are you? I have a question. I have this drone when i fly it it keeps shaking from the air. I can’t get a stable video . I can’t get a video like yours . Can you help please? Thanks
I'm in Pollock Pines with no smoke. Where are you outside of Sac....closer to the foothills? Also did you do any registering on account of the weight?
You have to register this one, I’m in Davis and now it’s been clear the last few days.
I think it's really awesome drone really nice and like you said the camera is like it's got a gamble stabilisation is excellent on it I like my friend and flies really well and the video is really clear steady and stable that definitely is a nice little quad I like it alot nice job on the flight review I enjoy that also your videos are always excellent you do a tremendous job on him and I enjoy it take care of my friend I hope you're doing well be safe and have a wonderful and blessed day and happy flying bro
Thanks brother, just my lungs are not so well from the smoke here. Cheers 🍻
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC you're welcome my brother try to wear face masks or something so you won't have to breathe all that ashes and smoke take care and I'll see you soon have a wonderful and blessed day bro
Very impressive! Very cool landing.
Thank you so much for the comment, have a great weekend
Why does my 720E start going in circles and picking up speed and gets out of control? Operator error or malfunction of unit? Thanks in advance
is it me or did the orbit mode just spin in a circle, maybe I'm misunderstanding but when i hear orbit mode you would think it would go around a central object not stay in play and spin.
Have you replaced the arm and motor yet? Mine crashed after an unexplained 180 degree flip right after auto take off and smashed to the ground. The replacement arms and motor show just the arm and motor, but the HolyStone video show the wiring loom cut and a new one threaded back in and re-soldered. HolyStone hasn't yet returned my e-mail. The arems and motors are available on Amazon or E-Bay at about 34 bucks.
If you bought it from Amazon, you should be able to replace the drone all together. I haven’t had any problems with mine, you sure your propellers are on the right motors? I had that happen to me before. I would definitely contact Amazon and request a replacement or refund. Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you get it sorted out.
Very nice drone Donnie. Thank you for sharing the test flight. 👍👌
Thank you as well, be safe my friend
Great video. Just bought one buy I'll have to wait a while to use it as we've got terrible weather forecast for the next week or so.
It’s been terrible here, thanks so much for watching.
Just ordered mine yesterday
I hope you enjoy your drone, happy holidays and thanks for watching.
I wish this drone was out when I purchased the HS720 2K version. I enjoy flying mine but as the months go on, the remote left joystick has a bit of a sticking problem which is bad when flying. The video feed distances is horrible and from video, that hasn’t changed. Just like mine, great starter drone but you will be looking for something better like I did.
Thanks for watching, I’m just reviewing this one for HolyStone. I have my DJI Mavic air 2 and other dji’s for my professional filming. This is a great drone for someone going from beginner and heading towards the Intermediate hobby grade gps brushless drone. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend
Ty for the video. I ordered one and it’s suppose to be in tomorrow. Ty again!
Your welcome and hope you have a great time with this one. Thanks for watching
Very nice quad Donnie.
Thanks so much Gregory 😊👍👍
Finally got a winner there Donnie. Better than the last couple of lemons. Curious, do you still have that Upair One you did a review on a couple years ago? I have one but never fly it much since I got my Mini and MA2.
I don’t have it anymore, I got rid of it a year ago or so. Thanks so much, I need to get my MA2 up in the air. DJI sent it back and send the firmware issues are solved. I have so nd filters I need to review for the company Freewell.
Confused about compass and GPS calibration. What's the difference?
There the same, it’s the gps compass. Thanks for watching and happy holidays.
I have the original 2.5k version and the 4k version both not stabilized the video quality is so much better with the EIS version. They are good flyers but the EIS makes filming actually useable.
It’s definitely a big difference now with that EIS. I have the bugs 20 EIS coming as well, I can wait to compare them. Thanks for watching
I have spent too many hours trying to decide what drone to buy... I finally decided to get this drone.
If this one does not work out for you, I would get a Dji. It’s well worth saving for, so return this one if you end up not happy with it. With the Dji it’s like flying a caddie out of all drones.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC I ended up buying a dji mini se. I read to many bad reviews about Holy Stone.
That’s good, that’s why I have a Dji . I review these drones, but when there as much as a Dji that’s crazy. These are still considered toy grade drones and I try letting everyone know. Drawings are getting affordable now that it’s better to just get a professional drum for the same price. Glad you’re getting the DJI. Have fun my friend upgrade later to a mavic air 2. That’s been my favorite drone so far.
Whelp. I'm sold. For not having a Gimble, it looks awesome Thanks for the info brother.
You betcha and thanks so much for checking out the video.
Can you use this drone and record the flight on your phone without WiFi connection?
Fabulus vidio thanks, realy enjoyed it. 😀
Thank you 🙏
Great video - Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much for watching
I don't see many Wi-Fi signal bars on my Samsung S8+ once I connect. The camera works, as I see it in the Phone. IS the Drone supposed to also connect to a home Wi-Fi too?...Thanks fellow Sacto guy!!!!
The drones WiFi to your phone only, no house WiFi. The WiFi sign is at the top of your phone to right. It is a WiFi 3 line logo when your on the drones app.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC ahh. Now I get it.... !!!.. thanks so much for your help..
Your welcome and thanks for watching
Hi Captain! I am curious Holystone HS720 E versus MJX Bugs 20 EIS comparison, who will win? they seem to be both identical in the camera department. Thanks!
I prefer the HolyStone hs720e over the MJX bugs 20. The hs720e is foldable and I feel is a better flyer. Next week I will be reviewing the mjx bugs 12 eis. Which it’s more like the HolyStone hs720e, so look forward to that review soon. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks a lot! Will look forward to your next videos. Cheers!
Thanks so much 😍👍
Holy Stone is a pretty good drone. I enjoy flying it just as much as my FIMI.
Thanks for watching, happy flying!
the lens doesn't move that smooth, when do I put GPS on or off? I got a little confused. I was trying to keep the stabled level, still hard to control, the video comes out not that balanced level.
You keep the gps on the whole time if you want gps. So make sure it’s on when calibrating the gps compasses.
Hey Donnie ! Great review brother . Cool little bird and the eis works really good . Stay safe and well ! 👍👍
Thanks so much Dman, stay safe as well .
Can you tell me the location of the GPS Antenna? Want to install a Anti-Collision Strobe when i receive my HS 400E
what is the best phone to use with this drone and app
I use a iPhone 7plus, you will have to ask HolyStone by email or in the link in my descriptions. Thanks for watching
Wow👍👍
Thank you so much my friend appreciate it
Are you using a hotspot for your WiFi? Your not home right so how are you getting WiFi?
Impressed with the upgrades for sure. I hope the fixed the arm or improved that plastic thickness.
Never had the original, so I couldn’t say. But I can tell it’s high quality and they put some money into it. Thanks for watching 😉👍
With the orbit mode, are you able to select like a group of people dancing in unison, so they never spread out much, and get a full cinematic 360⁰ orbital view of them all automatically, or does that require manual attention?
It has an orbit mode, I like to film manually. Thanks for stopping by
Nice drone review. Which is better to buy? That holystone or dji mavic mini? Both are on my budget capacity. Do we need to register it? Even if I'm not going to use it here in canada. I'm planning to use it only when I go to vacation in the Philippines and leave it their.
Well hands down on the dji mini, there is no comparison. But this HolyStone is a good alternative. Thanks for watching!
Hi Donni,
I am new to your channel here and this video was a really great video of the 720E. I've been wanting to get a drone for pretty much the sole purpose of having it in a SHTF scenario, doing some reconnaissance checks from a short distance away.
With all this civil unrest crap going on, I want to keep a drone in my trunk just in case shit goes down where I work, I work near the downtown in my area and we're experiencing some of this civil unrest crap too close to my work, with these so-called "peaceful protesters" and its getting a little unsettling nowadays and getting worse.
So, having a drone would be a good thing to have so I could put it up in the air to just scout a safe route home as the local police won't tell us which streets are being blocked off.
I also saw a fantastic video of the Mini the other day from the TH-cam channel The Urban Prepper who did a great video of the Mini and how he uses Dronelink with it and that video alone is prompting me to buy the Mini. I like the fact its packed into a small enough case that I can carry it in my backpack which I keep with me at all times at work.
But I really like your presentation and so my question is...do you know if Dronelink will work with this Holy Stone 720E??
Great video and thanks for taking the time to share...and yes, we're dealing with the smoke down here in SoCal as well. Thanks again and be safe...
James
Thanks James for watching, this is a nice flying and easy to use drone. Just remember the faa rules of flying over people, it’s a big fine and dangerous. If you have 450 you can also buy a DJI Mavic mini that is a sold drone as well. For the price this will do the job. Cheers and be safe.
Very nice...definitely want to add this to my fleet...so with the 25% off code,plus the 20 bucks off...its reasonable price wise.
Thank you, it’s really nice. I’m sure the price will drop even more.
@@Roboticdoughbull3k with 20 dollars off and 25% off with taxes and all...its $248...worth it to me.
Thanks for watching and I totally understand. With the 25% coupon and 20$ off at checkout, that brings the price to $239.99 usd. The price will drop more, it just come out. Just like DJI , look how cheap the spark and Mavic mini has gotten. Thanks for watching
Yup $239.99usd after the coupons, he may of not seen that. Thanks Drone Ready 😉👍
I have several Phantom 3's and 4's , a couple of hubsans and I just spent the morning ordering the Holystone 720E, for less than half the price of those others. It looks like, from these reviews I'm watching, that it will be money well spent. I do have one question tho, what kind of range can you get out of it?
Thanks Mitch for watching. I have not done a range test yet. I been out only 400 meters while filming, I haven’t had anyone to help spot me. So only line of sight for now.
I have about 5 hours of flight time now and I really like my 720E. So far I would say that my only notes are that the Ophelia GPS app will not work, and I am using Ophelia Go as a result. I cannot seem to get data from the sdcard to download to the phone (can see, can select, can do nothing else from within Ophelia) so I have to pull it to collect data.
I find that even GPS, gryo, calibration all green that it will tend to drift slowly in hover and landing can be hairy as a result especially given as the motors seem resistant to shutdown.
Michael Reed you can always hit the emergency stop to shut the motors down. With mine I use a 32gb for filming and have to use a video reader to play it on my phone. A lot of Phones can’t pick up the 4k video and also some struggle reading the 1080p 60fps. For me I don’t have a PC so I have to edit everything in 1080p from my iPhone. I’m glad you enjoy the drone Michael, thanks for stopping by. Have a great one my friend.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC As a note, I learned of the emergency kill from your vid, not the manual, but... I keep practicing, hoping to do it normally. To be clear, at this price point, this drone is amazing.
How was the footage once you placed the SD card into your home Computer? I am trying to decide between this drone and the DJI Mavic Mini. The DJI is way more expensive.
200 more you can get the Mavic mini, just save up if you can. The mini will be much better. I don’t have a PC so I edit everything from my iPhone. So I don’t get to see the 4k video because I have to film in 1080p 60fps
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks for the info
Your welcome
Great video however i am undecided between the 720e and the 470. First time droner. Any thoughts.
If it’s the hs470 by HolyStone, I would pass on it and get the hs720e. The 470 is a beast drone, that was originally ZLL Rc’s model.
Really cool video mate flying great brilliant drone really well done don video looks really nice 🤠🇬🇧👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🥃🥃
Thank you my friend 😍👍🍻
This is a great vid actually thinking bout getting my son this kind of drone
At that price you might as well buy a mavic mini refurbished, then you get the reliability and known quality of DJI.
@@notsquidwardo9720 well thanks for the info I will check into that for sure
The bugs 12eis is a nice drone and of course, nothing beats the Dji drones.
About the camera, when it's out of footage transmission range, will it still record at high quality for playback?
Yes, just as long as your using a class 10 micro sd card. Make sure it’s no bigger then a 32g class 10 sd card.
What is the difference between an hs720E and an hs720 please I do not know which one to buy I am a beginner ?? Thank you 😊
Electronic image stabilization in the camera for stable filming. Some added on flight options in the app and controller. The big upgrade is the camera and cameras software. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC ok thank you for your answer :) you advise me which one please?
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC between the Hs720 or Hs720E because I saw a lot of video on TH-cam or the 720E and in better picture quality 🤷🏻♂️
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC sorry other questions how many kilometers does this drone go and how much mileage?
The hs720e speed I’m not to sure, it’s has a tripod mode that goes very slow. Then there is a sport mode that is a decent speed. It’s range is 3200ft. I would choose the hs720e, the video is so much better and stable.
Really cool
Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Will the controller open up big enough to hold an iPhone Xr with an Otterbox case on?
Not sure, my iPhone X is on its way. That otter box maybe to thick. My iPhone 7plus with a thick cover fits in there fine.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks so much.
Your welcome
That's a nice one the camera looks good on it and it's smooth
Thanks Kurt, it’s a nice one
Ruko F11pro is better or holystone 720E is better? Which one is better
F11 has 2 pros, one has a 3 axis gimbal with eis. So I’m not sure about that one, I have not reviewed it. If it’s the Regular pro version with no gimbal or EIS, then I would have to choose the HS720E
Thanks for the video, I’m ready to buy my first drone for my birthday 🥳 I believe this one would be a good start, how long does the regular battery last ? Do you think I should buy an extra battery ( íes ) ? Thanks
Thanks for watching, you should be able to get good 16 mins or more. I always like to have 2 batteries, you just never know if your going to need it. Thanks again and check on a dji mini or mini 2 as well, some times you can fine a professional drone on sale. Cheers!
Looks pretty nice 👍 mate flying great excellent test flight ✈️ my friend!!
Aleks Mark Aerial Videos gr thanks so much my friend 😍👍🍻
Thank you for this tutorial. I'll review your unboxing video to get a feel for what to expect.
Thank you so much for watching and glad the videos help.
when you record the video, does it have the option for you to use the sd card to record it only instead of using your phone to record it?
No it automatically records to your HolyStone app. and to your sd card.
Dragon power, Yes it does have that option. That's the nice part about this drone. It does give you the option. It will record to both and give you the choice in the application which one you want to view or use the phone or the sd card. If you don't want to use the phone then just fly with the sd card in drone alone and use the transmitter to start and stop and it will record to the sd card only.
Ive witnessed on other drone calibration instructions are to walk around the drone to callibrate?
My old mjx bugs I used to calibrate that way. I haven’t seen any directions recommending a walk around for a few years now. This drone you do not, just have to calibrate like I demonstrate in the video. Thanks for watching. Have a great one. Sorry for the late reply.
How would you compare this drone to a dji mavic air?
Stuart Lindsay my Mavic air 1 and 2 are both of coarse way better and not on the same level. This hs720e is still in the Transition of toy drone to hobby grade drone. So no Comparison at this time with the DJI products. This is a nice drone for someone starting out. Plus only has a couple hundred to spin and doesn’t have $1000 to spend on a Dji.
Hey Donnie! Just got one for my birthday. Me and my dad can’t figure out how to get the drone to pass over 16m high and about 300 ft of range. Can you help?
Hey happy birthday. Make sure you take the drone out of beginner mode on the drone app. If not you can only go about 20m out, thanks for watching and hopefully this helps.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Yess! It helped amazingly. However while I’m flying it it typically glichtes out ( loses connection ) when flying manually about 100m away. I made sure to set the maximum range, height, etc. in the app. Thanks!
Glad you got it fix
Man this is my first drone and I needed big help with the setup.. your a blessing my guy. Thank you.
Thanks so much, I’m glad I was able to help. Have fun and be safe my friend.
Yo kruddiest iv got this drone coming. How you finding it and is it working good like in this review
What's the difference in the price of the drone if you don't purchase the e model the regular one that's not the e model is cheaper they want over 3 hundred for the one you are working with thinking about purchasing one could you tell me the difference I could save 75 dollars too go with the other model would like too no before ordering Amazon has both could I get by with the cheaper one please let me no great video as always I purchased the 120 d after watching your video on it luv the holy stone and you do such a great job thanks for all your videos I watch before ordering thanks again and keep the great work up Michael Holden out of north Carolina said that any information would be greatly appreciated thanks again
Go with the hs720e, the video is smooth and very good stabilizated. The hs720 doe not have stabilized video and is very shaky video.
Thanks for the instructions, I am new to using Drones
Your welcome and thank you for watching. Cheers
Bought one of these, and it's great; however, had a little mishap while flying indoors with one of my curtains. Was wondering if you knew of any aftermarket blade guards that I can attach to the arms. Holy Stone doesn't appear to have any for this particular model.
Thanks for watching, unfortunately there are no propeller guards yet that will fit this model.
Can anyone help me with my HolyStone720E? When I turn it on, even though the battery is fully charged on the drone, when I turn the remote on it shows “no battery” and the the drone shows green flash lights. This is my second drone already and I can not figure it out. Am I doing something wrong?
Does this drone use the same battery as the HS720?
Yes it does
Much better than the original one Donnie, a nice image and it sounds like a swarm of angry bees 😁😎👍👍
Thanks brother, I was very happy about the sound as well. Cheers 🍻
