Just came across that video while looking for some reviews on HS. Thanks man, you saved me couple of hundreds! And thanks for the story of HS buying and reselling - that's always good to know
Thanks for this valuable information. Got mine for $139. Got it to do some bird's eye view recording of my RC boats and do LESS walking on the surf when looking for bait fish and blitzes.
If you buy a cheap drone then you'll get the functionality of a cheap drone. If your new to drones and buy someting like this there's a good chance it will put you off ever buying another drone. There's a very good reason why DJI are the market leaders by far.
Thanks for the review, I just bought one on amazon for 128 bucks. I was looking at the mini 2se, but for the price decided to try this one just to get a feel for the GPS & longer range. The gimble is a bummer, but honestly, it was not much more than the tello, which is my first and only drone. looking forward to trying this guy out.
There was a coupon code and discount bringing the cost to $107 on Amazon. Unfortunately I missed that or from I heard they had that deal for only a few days. Cheapest price I'm finding is $200. Maybe I would buy it if it was cheaper, has a better camera with gimbal and came with 2 batteries. Not having a gimbal and video image quality I don't think it would work for me. Been looking at the Walkera 210T seems like that has better camera....so many decisions. Does anyone know of a drone with similar specs that has a gimbal and better camera, I want the long range like this in about the same price range?
Hey great job on this video but I would add that it looks like they have eliminated most of the fisheye effect which is a big improvement over some cheaper drones.
This is the only holystone with good price ! The sjrc f5s pro plus is the same drone as this one but it as a 2 axis gymbal and more weight ! It costs 170€ in bangood (sometimes with discouts is 155-160) sso if amazon sells this one for 130-140 i guess is a good buy since we have better support than buying in bangood and warranty !
I've watched numerous reviews on this drone and there all different some show the drone working prefect and some show it not working so good 🤷 future me i really don't think this was a fair review the drone was only just released when this review was made and has since been updated as well as the app
No. It is a modified wifi to the co troller so it has a better range. It is the exact same drone as the contixo f28 pro but a different color and more expensive. I prefer the faith Mini as the camera is much better.
Thanks for the video. I am new to the drone world. I have a friend that said he would sell me his DJI Mavic 2 with 3 batteries case and wires and controller for $300. I can get this exact drone your showing for $139 on Amazon today. With me being new to this what’s your opinion on what I should do? I did fly the DJI last night(first time every flying a drone) and it was awesome and easy.
@@HalfChrome took it for a spin tonight at a soccer field. Wow that thing can move pretty good in sports mode..😳. Have you done a review of that particular DJI?
@HalfChrome thank you for your reply Sir! I'm in the market for a sub $300 drone that takes really good photos and videos. Also, I passed my part 107 last Friday in Lubbock Tx. All thanks to your drone exam prep videos!! Thank you for what you do. Fortunately-unfortunately, a few drones I had in mind you didn't have positive reviews on.
Sub $300 drones usually skimp on the camera or hardware. The DJI Mini 2 SE is the most affordable drone that I’d suggest for any 107 work. They just get more expensive after that.
Fantastic review Jake really appreciate your total honesty. I have several very expensive DJI drones which are unbelievably great in all respects. I'm trying a couple of cheap drones like this for my kids but so far have not found a good inexpensive option that's stable, and is easy to fly with good software. Watching your film review, I would have been likewise very disappointed in this drone. REALLY Appreciate your saving me a couple hundred bucks on this one. For this price, I'd rather go another $100 and get a mini 2se which is flawless.
yes...I did just buy an Atom SE. Weather's been so lousy have not gotten to fly yet. my drone addiction... saw a deal for $220 and could not resist it, that was with two batteries. Even though that's a chunk of change, still about half of the cost of a DJI Mini 2 SE fly more package.
I Can't think of to many other things I would rather be doing than something anything with a Drone, I know I sound terrible in my comments, and I hope I don't discourage any one on this planet from getting into the hobby! I was listening to the complete wrong people on utub, NOT HALFCROME, I spent, begged, and borrowed to keep a working camera Drone! Luckily this channel got though the noise because I had gotten burned ,to many times ,basically Drone Money Run out,better put flow away! I see that these lower end mini drones are much better than what you would get for the same money! This is so very exciting and I hope sooner than later I will be able to get that joy back, This Channel It's the spot not over fanboyed! I can't believe this channel isn't Top of the Top, on TH-cam,! Do people only want to hear about the Brands I want but am still paying for, what am I do ? Like Subscribe To Honest Content AKA HalfCrome I'm only a expert at crying about Long Gone Daydreams! But I think I know what it feels like when I hear people say I found a new Church!! Preach On!!
I was thinking of buying this drone. But the video is very SHAKY! and thus I will NOT buy it! I got dizzy watching the video. "You get what you pay for". Thanks for the video.
Beware buying Holystone they go backwards and sideways by itself twice on me because I didn't buy it on their store or Amazon they say their warranty don't cover any manufacturing defective drone
It appears as though the discount code works on top of the discount Amazon is offering making this drone 79.99 + tax for the next day or 2 (from another youtube channel)
I bought it for $100 plus tax just today. It got delivered within a few hours. I only bought this to see if I really wanna spend the money on a real one. I do photography as a hobby and sometimes think that I need one. Some shots would just be much better. This thing is charging and I’ll give it a go tomorrow
This thing looks like crap! It's not stable. It's vibrating around. It's a piece of crap. I had considered this for an entry level drone. But after seeing your video. I'll save a little longer and get a DJI. Thanks! Thanks for saving me, $200! That really helped. I won't waste my money on this, POS. Maybe great for a 10 or 12-year-old kid? To play with for a day or two before they bust it. And $200 down the drain. As you know it won't be long. It's truly underwhelming compared to the, DJI, product line. They make the real things. From the entry leve low-cost version. To the commercial units with stratospheric prices. And so they are definitely not fucking around at DJI. They have had a consistent product line for many years, now. And devices that can be trusted that will, deliver. Entry-level toys not so much. But the DJI varieties are different. Even the least expensive model. How's a great looking camera. And no bullshit. Only 2.7 K? Oh well. That is completely adequate. And if somebody wants to contract to you. To do a drone shoot. You'll then later be able to afford a more, better, professional, model. And no need to shop and compare. These folks have it, down! By keeping it in the air. Though, I never cared much for the larger more awkward, Phantom, drones. Those were the first. But these more compact foldable's. Make so much more sense. When traveling. All the Phantoms are gone. As they look like the 1950s models. Not what you could call, sleek and compact. And only TV stations and law enforcement. Need the larger drones. The rest of us certainly don't. And that's a fact, Jack. So this was a great demonstration. Of a drone unit. Only built for, preteens. And teenagers learning how to drive. That want to experience crashing, first hand. And get the best footage with no broken bones or facial disfigurement's. Though, many of you would do well with some facial disfigurement. As long as your ass hole, is not, affected. I guess the Chinese invented these drones. Intended for spying. Seeing you have sex, etc. RemyRAD

The gimble is a bummer, but honestly, it was not much more than the tello, which is my first and only drone. looking forward to trying this guy out.
For the price, can you really complain about the gimbal? Nah. If you want it or need it, you just pay a bit more for another model.
@@miller-joel not complaining. It's a great drone for the price! I love it.
First one didn't work but amazon sent a replacement quickly, so all good.
@@jimburnettohow many battery’s did you get with your drone?

Good review bro
EIS should have been included at the very least.
So what about the bird drones and on and on how would one go about getting one of the bird drones
25% coupon ain't working
Was one of the lucky ones who got it for $80. At that price it's a great entry drone to the hobby.
Nice work
I wish I could find that deal I'd buy it! What's the current best deal?
Thanks for the review. Have you tested the Holy Stone HS720E
Just bought one for 120$ Canadian on Amazon!
I've watched numerous reviews on this drone and there all different some show the drone working prefect and some show it not working so good 🤷 future me i really don't think this was a fair review the drone was only just released when this review was made and has since been updated as well as the app
If you had to choose which would you recommend HS360S or the Tello?
I do love the Tello. They are so different though.
The ryze tello ?
No gimble? 😅 controller looks nice though..
I understand that this is not a wifi drone and the range is better. Is this true? If so, is it better than the Contixo or C-Fly Faith Mini?
No. It is a modified wifi to the co troller so it has a better range. It is the exact same drone as the contixo f28 pro but a different color and more expensive. I prefer the faith Mini as the camera is much better.

Go for it
@@HalfChrome took it for a spin tonight at a soccer field. Wow that thing can move pretty good in sports mode..😳. Have you done a review of that particular DJI?
Honest review you say? This has good reviews all over TH-cam. Also 4.4 out of 5 on Amazon from actual purchases.
Buy it. Enjoy. I’m not making stuff up. What is my motivation to make it look bad?
Do You Have MJX Bugs 3H ? Because I Like it
Yes I do.
Do you do any reviews rtk survey drones or know what a good less expensive one on the market?
No. They are all pretty expensive.

@HalfChrome understood! I'm a land surveyor so want to get good practice before I buy anything Enterprise!! Our company utilizes dji enterprise models
DJI is having some good sales right now until the 30th. Get a fantastic mini drone for a couple hundred more.
2 miles seems unreal 😅 I just ordered one from Amazon and I cant wait.
How did it go?
I got an hs360 for $115 shipped, I look at it as something to play with for a while. A drone that would get a 4 star from him would cost over $2000.
No. There are good drones in the $300 price range
@@HalfChrome kind of depends on what you want to use it for. On a professional job, then no, more like $4000 _ $7000. Then you have a good drone.
Got to love it,or u just might hate them! Looking back cfly,wasn't as bad as compared most flying garbage
For the money I don’t think you can do better
@@HalfChromeI'm considering the cfly what is the best deal for it?

What is the BEST drone under $300?

Lol
Beware buying Holystone they go backwards and sideways by itself twice on me because I didn't buy it on their store or Amazon they say their warranty don't cover any manufacturing defective drone
you probably didnt do the gps correct bc other video reviews have it working. its finnicky but its a great drone for beginners
Yes. This is the first drone I’ve ever flown and I can’t read directions so you are probably right.
so for $60 this would be good for a first drone to learn on before deciding to invest a few hundred bucks?
It’s more like $150. But if you can get it for $60 it would be a great beginner.
