Another excellent review Marcus, thank you. Mind you you have to be congratulated on sticking with still trying non DJI drones. I have several Holystone drones and whether or not they work seems to depend on the day/time or time of the month, their customer service is first class, their drones meh.... Rarely bother getting them out now just stick to DJI,lot less trouble. 🙂
Hi Marcus, great video as usual….. hope the guy that went flying as his dogs pulled him over is ok ! Look in the background at around 34.41 of your video… you may not of seen this ! Best wishes, Des and Shirley from the UK.
Hey Marcus, awesome intro to your vid and nice looking polo with the patches! I’ve seen a ton of your new drone unboxing/testing vids and this one does appear to be better than many of the other ones you’ve tested! I’m really glad you made it Clear in regard to distance these WIFI drones can fly! I wish I would have known more about the WIFI aspect when I first got in to flying drones! I spent a good amount of money on my first drone and of course it had WIFI with a HUGE Promise of “Good Distance”, very untrue info of course! Mine stated it was able to fly over 10000 feet away without issues, Big Fat lie, live and learn on that for sure! For right at $200 bucks for this one, that’s not too bad of a price. BUT, I’m jaded with all these drones as I’m totally sold on DJI drones just like many others are. Heck for pretty much the same price a person could say Hello to NEO! I’d def pick a NEO over this one but at least the one your testing wasn’t too crazy and did fly decent enough. They def need to zero in the battery life with it going to Zero when it was further out. A new flyer probably would have panicked over that aspect. Anyhow brother, thanks for sharing the vid and your knowledge to all, have a good one!
You should review the HS360E. You ll get a lot more range with that than the 175. Same system as the HS360S but has EIS , an even more powerful controller, supposed bigger battery/flight time, etc. Nobody has done a comparison really yet of this and the HS900. They're probably the top sub 250 gram drones from Holystone right now. Hs900 will still win the camera comparison with the gimbal. But curious to see if the HS 360E has less non camera problems as far as connection , etc that you had with the HS900. I like that your channel looks at the other factors like controlibility, connection, function. Many of the other drone TH-cam channel just focus on the camera. The best camera in the world isn't any use if it flies away on the first use and never comes back.
All these type of drones seem to have their performance issues, so this one had it's share. I guess it did ok, but at this price point, there seems to be better options out there. Great review Marcus, and thanks for sharing.
Amazing color! The controller has a few ornery foibles, but not necessarily severe enough to make it a "deal-breaker". The price might just be a tad high at present. Perhaps an app or controller update would make it a more attractive consideration; that, and a lower price. HS has a potential winner here, otherwise. Thank you, Marcus!

Thank you Julius! It's been interesting to see Holy Stone gradually improve their products.
That tree color in the park is amazing. These cheaper drones can be so problematic. DJI are still King.
It was a beautiful day for a flight! Thank you!

Thank you! I did see that guy with the dogs, it looked like he got right up.

I agree, you need to manage your expectations with these WiFi drones. With the discount code that HS provided this one is about $135.
Very nice polo shirt you are sporting there Marcus. Another comprehensive review
You know it! I'm proud of my Drone Seekers Steve!! 🙂
Marcus, awsome video as always.
I appreciate that Henry!

Thank you! I'll see if I can get ahold of the HS360E.
Video looks pretty darn good and is very stable. I’m impressed. If it had a gimbal it would be much much easier to move around for sure.
I agree, it just needs a gimbal!

I applaud Holy Stone for continuing to improve their offerings. Thanks for dropping by Ron!
Good video and information. Thank you. I wish the discount code was still working.
Yes, I'm sure that expired quite some time ago!
Los árboles están para ser grabados con calidad
I work hard at missing those trees! 🤣

Thank you for the feedback. I agree that a few minor tweaks could make it a real winner.
Mark that one off the "I gotta have it" list.
Holy Stone has their own customer base for sure.
Passando pra prestigiar aquele super Like Tmj ✌️
Thank you sir!
Cool!
It is a fun little drone Tania. Will I see you at the Vegas meetup?
@ when is it?
@@TaniaGail Next weekend. vegasdronemeetup.com/
The listed price for this simple drone with not much range is $269. Are you saying the code will drop it down to about $135?
I have not tried the discount code, but that is what my Holy Stone representative told me. 👍
Still have to register here in ohio now
That's not good! I'm sorry to hear it.
How high can the drone fly?
400 feet is the maximum allowed.
Odd !! .. With the assortment of $199 video drones available now ... Why do manufacturers release more expensive & less capable offerings? 😱🤷♂😰
It's about $135 with the discount code GM.
