a lot of haters in the comments i see. Mine works fine, no toilet bowling, nos ignal losses, just good response, steady flying and recording, landing works well, hovers in place just fine, and i got it for 240 on amazon
This is the first video I have seen with the HolyStone HS720R that didn't fail miserably!!
I did get a toilet bowl landing! 🤣
Good overview of the drone, controller, and the app. Nice flight by a great pilot who deals with the quirks of this drone. Well done, Marcus.
Quirks, that's a nice way to say it George. 😄
Thank you for showing the HS drone. I have been curious to see you test fly something other than DJI. I have only begun to watch your videos having seen 10 or so, so I may find other mfg. drones videos in your library. Thank you for sharing this test flight.
Thank you! Oh yes, I fly many other brands. 🙂
Hi Marcus! Geeze Louize! That landing was more like a vortex whirlpool! And it was lagging on course compensation from the wind. The video feed did help showcase the beautiful mountains. I'll agree that it's a great advanced beginner drone. Thanks Marcus! 👈🥸👉
Yeah, that landing was something. It would have been quite disconcerting for a beginner.
Hi Marcus, your videos are either very informative or funny as hell. This one was the latter!!
Ha! They sent it, so I flew it. 😄
Let’s do it let’s get that bird in the air Marcus great video
Just barly Robert! 🙃
Great video and review!
Thank you! Cheers!
It did pretty good for a Holystone, although that fisheye would drive some people nuts. Great video, Marcus 👍
Yeah sooner or later it gets annoying.
The thing is Alan, I'll bet you could make a video from a drone like this look good! 😄
you can very simply use a lens correction in davinci resolve and eliminate the fisheye.
@@patrickspapens5497 Absolutely, but the average guy buying this probably doesn't know that
@@DroneViewsMedia yeah that's a fair point. Same goes for color grading. Except for some DJI drones, most drone cameras record in a way that the footage requires a bit of editing when it didn't record in sunny conditions.
Great video Marcus. Wouldn't be a bad drone except for landing.
Thank you Philip! That landing was something!
Hello!!! And with your experience which model could be beter option to buy, HS720R or HS600?
I've never flown the HS600 so cannot say.
Interesting review. Got one of these for Christmas that has extreme toilet bowl symptoms that got bigger and bigger until I finally had to 'emergency stop' the drone each time I flew it. I ran compass ang gyro calibration on each flight and it didn't help. It's too risky to fly this anywhere but wide open spaces.
Support has been great. I'm sending it back. Not sure if I'm going to ask for a replacement or move on to something else.
Yes, because I was in an open field and over soft grass I just let it crash land. It's not a good feeling when a drone has a mind of it's own.
I assume you had the required order number?
Got mine as a gift and they can’t remember where they got it from so HS is acting like I’m out of luck.
I haven’t even taken the plastic off the box yet but with it’s reputation I’m to nervous as a beginner to put something up it the air with it’s reputation and my lack of experience.
I’d like to just exchange it for whatever reliable drone they have in stock even though I think this “r” was the most expensive model they have.
Now I think I’m stuck with a paperweight.
@@jaxturner7288 Yes, my wife had kept the order info, so we were able to document the purchase. I ultimately moved on to a DJI Mini 4 Pro, and haven't looked back.
Your right that canceling the return home may have stopped the circling , however if you turn off gps it will also stop the circling. These HS drones all of a sudden go out of control and you must know how to stop it or the will crash. When they solve that problem I will buy another to experiment with
In this case I knew the worst that would happen is that it would tumble in the soft grass. I didn't think about disabling GPS. Good call.
I have never had that happen with the HS360S or the HS200W.
First time I have seen a video where the drone doesn't go crazy eventually..😮😮😮😮
It kind of went nuts when landing. 😂
I thought that the video quality was very good throughout the flight. The camera stabilization was right on. I did get a chuckle out of their terminology. The orbit distance was listed as its "semi-diameter" instead of radius, and it said its GPS signal was "week" Other than that nit picking, I enjoyed your post! It is nice to get a good review like your's.
True, I often see that on these drones. Some thing are lost in translation. 😄 Thank you!
Holy Stone Batman! I wonder what the caped crusader would think of these! Who needs a bat signal to call you to work, when you can just use one of these to keep an eye on the Riddler, the Joker, and most of all, the Penguin!
Ha! Exactly John!! 😂
@IdahoQuadcopter - I'm glad there was more than that piece of foam in there, lovely as it was. 😂 When I got a Holy Stone HS120D (looked that up, it wasn't THAT memorable 😳 I was bitten by a bug that resembled a small, black P
Phantom! Alas, it was no Phantom.
@@BlairAir Yeah, I've always struggled with HS drones. Their HS360S isn't too bad, if it had a gimbal it would be easier to recommend.
It did pretty good
The landing was a little crazy! 😀
Ive been thinking about getting a drone watching plenty of reviews on this holystone 720r or a dji mini 2 se for my first drone looks quite interesting
It is a really fun hobby! Enjoy! 🙂
Super new to drones - what are the pros and cons of the phone directly connected and WiFi to the controller ? Once again I’m super new this will be my 1st drone
If your mobile device is connected directly to the controller, you typically get better range and FPV feed.
I think it's a great looking drone. The video as far as colors looks good. The horizon looks a little round fish eye like you mentioned.
That controller is too small. I think I would have problems holding that little control. All in all, it's not that bad of a drone.
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
It is absolutely my pleasure! Thank you!
I've got a HS720 that came with 2 batteries & charging block to charge both at the same time yet my son says video quality isn't there. I'm in the middle of replacing the right front arm but meeting resistance with the white coating on the solder points.
I hope you get it back in the air soon. Happy flying!
I heard the drone voice said "Houston we have a problem" while landing. 😂
True that Donnie!
why did it do huge circles during the landing? did you calibrate everything? Because I am concerned about my drone
Yes, it was calibrated. I'm not sure why it did that.
Great informative video. I wish you would do a video on how you edit your videos. like how to put your voice on the drone video. Thank you.
Hi Chris. I use a DJI mic, then sync it all up during editing. 👍
Great video. Used your affiliate link and discount to buy it. Is there a firmware to fix the issue you encountered with the "toilet bowl" effect despite having many satellites?
Thank you for using my link. I do not know of any updates. I will say that I suspect I could have got that toilet bowl effect under control if I had canceled RTH and taken manual control.
@@IdahoQuadcopter good tip and thank you. Look forward to more videos.
Hi Marcus. Almost hard to justify the price for this drone. But it did ok. Thanks for the flight.........👍
They've gotta be tested Jim. 😄
Considering this drone retails for $399 on Amazon, before discounts and coupon codes, which come and go. it is very underwhelming at that price. I think you could do better at around the same price. Great testing Marcus, I think you presented things in a way that will let people decide for themselves if this is right drone for them. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ron! You make some great points.
399? i got mine for 240 on amazon
@@patrickspapens5497 I got mine for $164 on Monday with $100 off coupon (now it is $50 off) and using the 30% discount code. Arrived the other day and looking to maiden soon. I went ahead and got the 2 yr warranty too for $36.
Solar powered.. No I love the landing.. Holy stoned the crows..!
This drone is high end performance. 28:07 Not sure why the bad review and making fun of Holy Stone. Maybe it needs to be a sponsored review. Has no drift. Mine definitely went faster and landed on the pad. Don’t tear a drone apart because it’s not a dji
Ha! I just show what I see with the drone. I especially enoyed the precision landing. 🙂 You are correct, it's not DJI.
Have you had an issue with it losing control and you tried to get it back? Mine went haywire.
Yeah, I saw that a couple of times during this flight.
I’ve flown this thing twice and it has toilet bowled both times. What should I do about it?
I had the same issue with mine.
Does anyone know if the issue with toilet bowling and then crashing has been resolved yet as I've read and watched numerous content saying it's a very dangerous drone that goes out of control for no reason
Yes, I've seen and experienced a lot of that too.
Surprised at the flight time, the ad calls for 26 minutes and it looked like you got about 22 minutes. Not too bad.
I was surprised at the flight time too. 👍
So whats the difference between this and MJX Bugs 18 Pro??
They may be the same. I'm not sure.
They are the same
Can youn tell me if all hs720 batteries will inchange"
I don't know. You may want to contact Holy Stone.
Hmmm HS720,,, I think I figured out what the HS stands for with that toilet bowling. 😮
Holy Shimoly? 😂
Over priced, in uk it's £300....for a toy drone? Zino mini is only £249 currently
spot on mate well expensive would rather get a 2nd hand dji
Thank you for watching. 👍
Another one !!! 😂😎😎😎😎😎
They never end Tony! 😂
It's $100 more than the New Fimi 3 !!
And I'll be the Fimi doesn't toilet bowl into the ground. 😂
deff not a very good one,especially you could certainly see the drone wandering to the left and it losing altitude when you went sideways,camera was pretty decent tho.Get your hands on the new hubsan ace 2,i just got it and the camera is amazing on it.
It's great to hear the Hubsan is stepping up their game.
Only comes with one battery! No one has them but Amazon and theirs are for $90.
I'm sorry to hear it. 🤷♂️
@@IdahoQuadcopter - Me to!
Sold buy one get 2 free, were all good books are sold..!!
A real ? Why do you need a complete guide to RTH . I just push the button and it returns
Or as in my video it kind of tumbles into the ground. It kind of came home.
Oh my - WiFi! Thanks for the video Marcus, but this HS is just a toy, and way to high in price. I had a HS drone over 6 years ago, and their technology hasn't changed all that much. Although more money for a basic DJI MIni3. If you really like the hobby after buying this cheap HS drone. You just tossed that money away towards a better drone.
In my opinion.T his HS should be priced around 150.
The connection was not bad, that landing was rough though. 🙃
Holystone 720 series is not bargain or budget or affordable to make an excuse of any problem and say is a bargain drone🤔... it is not ,... it's the same price of a dji mini
Got it. 👍
First
👍
Holy stone doing a toilet bowl action.
It sure was!!
But still Marcus a fun video.
Why the hell would you want to fly five miles anyway,..
I agree, not me.
Get a DJI mini se a little more money.
I hear that! 🙂👍
I thank you for what you do, but again another waste of money product, plenty of 2nd hand DJI drones available that beat this hands down, trust me you will have a far better flying experience and good video, regards
Yes, I hear you. 👍
After flying DJI Drones, this drone don't impress me.
Me either Fred. 😁
Lacks quality, too expensive, is over 250g, doesn't have built in remote id = frustration. Not a good choice for beginners to the hobby. A used DJI would be a better choice.
I completely understand your point.
actually it DOES have a built in remote ID.
Ooops just saw your phone is set to get CNN notifications. Sorry you lost my subscription right there. Time to check other channels.
Is that all it takes to offend you. 🤣 Good luck in the real world.
@@IdahoQuadcopteralready made my luck. Just looking for reviews for drones to survey my ranch properties. Obviously you have poor decision making skills listening to that shit show network
