I donthve any of thosedrones. Neverhad one actually but I've been watching a lot of videos on drones for almost 2 months now trying to learn anything i can about drones before i een get one and this channel is byfar one of the best.... Simple and straightforward ive been going through holy stones drones an this video sure narrowed things out ive been eyeing the hs440 for a week now and im thinking about starting with it! Thanksfor this video, i now know what brushless means! Thanks for the reviews on the different models, a very clever video idea99!
So, while I am an avid fan of holly stone, and own 4, I just bought a DJI mini 2. Wow! What a drone! I can see why they own so much of the market. Love your channel, and your prospective. Don’t stop. Thank you!
I do love holy Stone drones I have eight of them myself but I have to say my two favorite ones would be the 700e and the 720e I love the mobility of the 720e but as far as flying good battery life and being stable in five mile wind 700e hands down great review
Thanks so much! They definitely have their place in the market! Not everyone wants to start with an expensive drone, so, there are some really bad ones out there
Excellent review of the Holy Stone line. Thanks for the good, the bad and the UGLY. I hope a lot of beginners see this to help them make good choices. Keep up the great work!
I own the 720G. Love it! I've had it for a few months now. So glad I chose HolyStone!! Started out with some cheaper ones first. I just wish it had obstacle avoidance. But it's got everything else.
I have been an Avid Fan of Drone Videos on U Tube for a long time and just came across Your Channel a few days ago but I must say that You Stand Proudly Among The Best There Is 😁 🦀 😷
Your site is the greatest. What an excellent teacher you are! I am having the time of my life with the HS 210, flying it around the house. Have also taken it outside in dead-calm conditions and on speed level 3 it's great. You give the best advice, are concise and to the point, have a wonderful manner in your presentation and all your videos are so enjoyable to watch and learn from. Tonight, after watching this entire video, I just ordered the HS 110D from Amazon here in Canada. I ordered it based upon your recommendations and know I will enjoy it immensely. I hope you are able to keep on making these videos for a long time to come. We are all so much the richer for your wonderful work. My sincere thanks to you. Warmest regards from Toronto, Canada.
Nice to see you still like the 510! I just ordered one as it was one of the few drones that I can get free shipping, no tax or import fees to Jardin Colombia South America (I am originally from Phoenixville PA outside Philly) This will be my first drone that I bought, but I have flown two DJI drones in the past so not a 100% newbie. Thanks for the great reviews and more importantly for the information on calibration of these drones for no fly-offs or toilet bowling! Well done!
I love the HS drones. I own 6 of them right now and have been buying them since 2019 when I first took flight. I searched videos, and Google b4 I purchased any and don't know why my first was the 100D which was a great drone. Back in 2019 I also owned the 700, and 700D b4 I cleaned out my drone room and sold everything. Got back into droning so purchased the HS700D as my first one this time then found a HS720 to buy, then bought the 165, another HS720, and a 160. Next one will be the HS720E I think but not sure yet. The HS600 looks good or the 360 so I might buy one of those. All in all, Holy Stone has great Customer support with just an email or phone call, and that is not what the other low budjet drones offer. If I crashed my HS700D today and totaled it, I wouldn't be out much and could go buy another one and use the crashed one for parts. They are fun to fly around...
Thanks so much Paul, the 720g will be out in a week or two! It’s much lighter with a multiple axes gimbal and longer flight time. I have had it a month but can’t release the video until it’s released
I have an hs175d showing up tomorrow 6-24-22. I'll let you know. Been learning on an Eachine E58 I got at a garage sale for $10, for about a month. It flies okay-ish, but it losses connection with controller very easily. Looking forward to the upgrade. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the great info.
I still think its the best GPS drone with brushless motors for that price, camera is protected, takes good pics but there isn’t a gimbal, let me know how you like it.
Damn , I went with the 175d and it did very well the first two flights but during the third later that day , after 10 minutes of flyjng and getting my confidence to go further and higher I was really happy the drone was working according to my thumbs . I started doing baseball field (Infield and outfield size ) circles @100% speed and was happy with the performance . I went up over a hundred feet , fwd , backward , back down , again a few more times before letting it hover @around 20ft . Prob 30 seconds later the drone shot straight up into the air and full tilt reverse . Pushing fwd was the only way to stop it and regain enough control to get it land it without having it flip or getting mud on the props . Luckily I’ve flown a while to do this . I tried 3 more times and after a minute or so of hovering , as I was cautious, same thing each time before I packed it up . I ve read so many comments about similar issues or another . Are they all like this ? Even the dji ones ? Just going rogue out of nowhere in a field with nothing around , in gps the whole time . I don’t know and need help
Hello my brother just got me the Holy Stone HS440 for my birthday . He and I will be trying it out our nearest park. Also I was surprised he got me this Drone.
I really like the 700 e it looks good also, so Mr James does it really fly good and stable. I want a drone to keep practicing on and get better so than I can get me a more better drone with a good camera. I do appreciate your videos and your time. Thank you Mr James keep them videos coming, I still got to do some catching up on some of your videos I missed due to me working and being so busy. Thanks for your opinions and advice.
Awesome video and great info as always. I have the holy stone hs470 or as known as the xil 193 pro drone. It's like the zll sg906 drone. Great flight and video. At first I could not get the cellphone to connect. But when I changed to a 5g phone it connected. Even though I need to turn off the mobile data so the phone can use the app especially the camera.
I have the Hs700e and love flying it. It is my first drone and was very easy to learn to fly only because I watched your video and several others that said to do the full calibration everytime and after changing batteries. Now I want to get the 210!
Love the HS 210 - Easy to fly, virtually indestructible, won't break anything indoors, cheap, great customer support- cons: hard to take out battery, need good lighting, not for outdoors
I also own many HS drones as well as many of the HS DEERC line up. I have the HS700 version with the go pro style camera that I enjoy but looking at getting the 700e . That I believe has the same camera as the DE22 and is fantastic. I just hope it flies as well as the Hs700. The hs260 is a fun foldable drone for a beginner but can be tricky in the wind ha ha.
I really hope my grandson do well with the HS 190 he got it today and hopefully he do well with it I'm charging it no it says the charging is only 30 to 40 minutes I'm excited to see how he does
Hey man I just got the tsrc version of the holy Stone 1080 p gps. I'm new to fine Best feature I went for. A little trial and error seems to be holding up! The only thing that scares me is the return to home! That joker seems to want to go way higher than I've flown it. I always feel like it's going to take off so I undo it and fly it back manually. Scary though! Thanks for your videos I've gotten a lot of good information
Wow you put out some amazing informative videos! Thank you so much. I am still looking o get my first drone. I’ve already taken my FAA test and don’t even have a drone yet! I’m trying to stay under the $100 mark for this if possible. Important factors: gps? I don’t want to lose this thing!, camera yea it would be nice if this was decent, usable, I want to be able to fly it outside and not worry too much about wind obviously I would fly it in high wind. Case, haha yes I would like it to have a case to store it in. Holy Stone seems to be a good standard to look at that I can see.
The best drone for $100 is the LRYC L900 ( I have a review on it) but thats from Bangood, the best GPS Drone from AMazon is still the HS175d (unless the 240 is still on sell) BUt The best value is the HS430 with my 40% off discount code WWOW430, its a great drone for $30.
James, thanks for the review of the HS drones. I have the HS510 and really love it. I have enjoyed how nimble it is and fast. I’m a new flyer and been practicing with a Loolinn U61 indoors. Can’t wait for spring to get my Holy Stone HS510 and HS440 outside. Great review
As you can tell from my channel name i hope to have a channel like you one day. But loosing my house and wife ...well everything I kind of gave up on everything. But I do hope I can make a come back one day and start doing real reviews! But I hate my voice and the way I look so I dnt know. Hopefully I can overcome all this and have a channel half as good as yours one day! Would be a dream come true to have drones sent to me for free as long as I review them! Then of course give them away! LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!!!!!!!! that's a lot of drones!!
I was wondering the same thing actually. I was looking for some propeller guards (with no luck). Just landing gear, batteries, and spare propellers and arms... But there aren't many accessories for the hs720g yet.
Love the HS 700E, the only thing, the camera doesn't tilt in the cold weather. This was an expensive find because of me, not securing one of the propellers. I thought when it fell to the ground, it was because my neglect, but it wasn't. Other than that. it flies great.
Glad You Like It, If They Take off warm they are OK for a bit, but yes, they will do all kinds of weird things in cold weather, i have had ice form on the blades too. Thanks for watching
Great rundown on all of the Holy Stone drones James! I’ll have to definitely check out the HS210, I have always wanted to get one since you like that one so well as a beginner drone, the 210 will have to be it. When I purchased my first Holy Stone Drone they asked me to be a reviewer on the HS Drones and I did a couple of video reviews for them, but I haven’t done any more reviews with them & I think they may have dropped me as a reviewer because I haven’t received anymore request to do a review. Maybe they didn’t like my last review Lol 😂 Hopefully they will ask me again if I send them an email message to ask about doing reviews. Oh well, wish me luck!
Hi. Iv just by chance came across your channel . Was looking for advice about my hs 600 I bought about 3 month ago. Two things I was wondering about. You've just answered one and that's about the lack of 600 for sale and why people like yourself not having tested them as yet . Strange they didn't give it much of a run. Anyways, my second question is how do you get the landing lights to come on. Two lights mounted on the underside of the drone. Much appreciate any advice on this. Great channel . Good honest impartial advice 👍👍
@@b4ugo hi. Thanks for the reply and for what it's worth fron an amateurish view, they're very much plug in and go . Like you've said yourself, the holystone in general are a very good low budget drone. But after watching the review of the potensic atom se , I think a lot of these lower budget products will be looking to up their game . Not available in the UK at the moment but will be looking to purchase one as soon as. Thanks again Rob.
I have the HS720E , nice camera and and good quality, my only complain is that first it does not go as far as they claim it to go and also sometimes it has a mind of its own and does not respond to commands.
Hi, I love yours videos :) 👍💪 Do you have some comparison videos of mini drones for beginners? I still looking which would be best for me as a for beginner. Or maybe you can make some video? Where we can see differences between different mini drone. Thank you and all the best :)
After alot of looking..I got me the HS360..great stabilization..good camera..I just fky them for fun.. probably best one I'll get until maybe 1 day a dji. I feel father the 360..a 720g would be an upgrade..but not a ton. So dji for me. Just today got me the 430 you review ed for fun!
I have, I just can’t post it till it’s released, I showed it on a video and they asked me to blur it till it’s released, probably at the end of the month.
@@b4ugo so cool!!! Man you have a fun life!!! at least what you post looks fun! I know everyone has trouble and problems but for some reason I think you don't have much of either lol. Enjoy your Sunday!
Have you reviewed that HS510 yet? Saw it on the table. I have it coming in the mail tomorrow. I also own the HS175d, the Deerc D10 which is basically the HS240, The HS430, The HS440, The Deerc D20, and Holyton's HT02. All three companies are more or less the same. I've enjoyed every single one as well. I just wish their GPS drones we're a lot more stable. I know everyone says "DJI DJI DJI" but I don't have a 64 bit phone so I can't use DJI Fly. If anyone has any good recommendations for GPS drones that are stable and don't require a 64 bit operating system on your phone, let me know please. Thanks for the great video man!
@@b4ugo Yeah, as I was getting into drones, I took your advice on getting a nano/mini drone for learning. I'm 19 so flying these things is like flying a helicopter in a GTA game to me, so I learned fast. You weren't lying about the HS510 being sporty either. Damn thing's fast! Thanks for the tips you have in your videos. They taught me a lot, and ultimately got me into the hobby. I've went ahead and found a 64 bit phone so the Mini SE is my next target. Can't wait to feel what it's like to actually trust the drone you're flying. Bless you man!
I got the HS175D for a Christmas present. Now, this is my first ever flying machine so I must admit I'm frightened to fly in anything other than a wide open space. To me it has all the safety features I want. If I run into trouble I can press home, if the battery goes too flat it will return, if it loses signal it will still return and I think it's powerful enough to fight a reasonable wind to return. I'm having a lot of fun with it, the only thing that is frustrating is the damn thing seems very reluctant to calibrate, often it "times out" but of course, that could be operator error. Got any tips for me? Like your content, it's cool.
Couple things, try deleting the app and reinstalling it first. But, the best thing to so is try another device, i had one once that would only work on my ipad, and once I got it to work then it worked on my phone. Also, make sure you are not near any metal (even concrete has rebar) more expensive drones will tell you there is metal interference. The main thing is that its trying to connect to the Satillites so make sure it has a clear shot, sometimes it will even work inside but much better outside. Try to learn the orientation on a mini drone. Thanks for watching
You say at 10:42 that the HS710 does not have an optical flow sensor. The HS site and Amazon listing say it does. So does the box. I received this no more more than an hour ago, and haven't yet taken it out of the box.
After review of all your videos you recommended to start with the 210. If someone with limited experience and flight time got something like the 260 or 340 or something of similar size with a camera to start with. Would that build up the muscle memory? Or would you suggest the 210 no matter what and then a budget one once the skills are mastered, would like something with a camera in the end. The overall goal is just to build up flight hours, the snapatain drone I have now I can only get maybe 20 seconds of flight about 3 feet off the ground before it flys out of control and I have to use the emergency stop. So I guess my skills aren't up to par yet. Any recommendations?
with the Snaptain, make sure your calibrating the Gyro's before you take off. I think the HS430 is the best little drone with a camera and it flies for 11-12 minutes, most pick up it up pretty quick, 20 minutes for a teenager and a hour or so for old guys like me!
Amazing review, I've got the Holystone 430 mini but recently it hasn't been flying. I've been charging the batteries, I haven't crashed it and the controller battery is good. What should I do to make it fly again?
I really like the micro drones HS makes, I have a HS330 and a HS420 both handle great indoors. the 420 has a camera that is pretty decent for what it is. But outdoors I prefer the DJI mini's. The hs micro's are so quite you would think their brushless. I recently bought a tello but is was way to loud for inside and not near as controllable with or without a controller.
I have always thought the Tello was way overhyped, I like the HS430 better, there is new version of the HS210 coming out soon with modular batteries, that one to me always flew the best, thanks for the input
Thanks for the guide/lesson!!.. Does wifi Drone mean it won't work outside your home wifi network ..or is it its own network anywhere within range of your phone? ...can you use these wifi 5g drones off grid or away from your home network?
It uses the Wi-Fi from your device, not your home. It doesn’t need any connection to the internet, so yes, it will work anywhere as long as your device meets the requirements. Thanks for watching Mr Nickel!
I sure wish I had watched some more videos on drones before I flew my drone a few days ago. It flew up into a tree where it lives now. 😭. I tried to get it down but to no avail. Oh well, lesson learned. I should have used a fishing line! 😅. I'm thinking of getting a small one and getting the hang of it and then possibly getting a bit better one.
@@b4ugo I am afraid the drone is toast now since we had a good steady rain today. It was a hjhrc hj28. I got it like last year and tried to fly it once, gave up on it till a few days ago but i should have watched more videos etc. But I might get something for another time IF it should happen again!
Be sure and check out the HS430, I have a 40% off discount code and its a great drone, perfect to learn on and it has a longer flight time and a better camera. WWWOW430 (black one) but between those 2 I like the 110d because it is more durable. (And faster)
Is there a Holly stone that you would compare to the DJI mavic? I want a drone with a bit more precision, but I love holly stone value. Thanks, love your channel!
No, DJI has 74% of the market for a reason. But, until the release of the MiniSE, Holy Stone had the best $300. But still they make the best Mini drones and budget drones under $200. Some people that all they want to spend. But I think DJI sells the SE to cheap. It’s an amazing drone and the best deal ever.
@@b4ugo thank you for your reply. I really value your opinion. I now own the HS 350, 420, 710, 720, and 700. I forget all the suffix’s, but they are all good drones for the $. I would really like to try a DJI, so one is probably in the offing. Thank you!
What’s your recommendation for a budget gps drone. I need something that can fly outdoors. It’s his first non toy drone. He fly’s my Dji drone pretty good, but he doesn’t need something of that level. Camera quality is not important.
That Walmart Drone I reviewed was really good for $99! The HS175D is sold out right now but the HS710 is on sale for $179! It used to be $250. I have a couple on the way that are like $75 from Banggood that are GPS drones.
I have a 720e and am terrified of losing it as a beginner pilot. I’m worried that my GPS is faulty because it doesn’t sit as stable in the air as other drones I see on TH-cam. I saw you had a clip with a fishing line?? Is that something I could try to gain confidence?
No, dont use it, line got stuck in props, lol, i was showing how stupid I was not buying a mini drone first and learning the basics of orientation. That will give you the confidence you need!
I would love to have an inexpensive return back to home drone for deer scouting I have looked at a lot of these drones just don't know which one to go with
Honestly, I like the HS430, its the best value, use my 40% off discount code (black one) plus its on sale which brings it from $70 to $29 I think, code is WWWOW430
@@b4ugo I have an HS110D but want GPS as it is easier to fly in wind. So I ordered and cancelled an hour later HS720E; 481g is well over 250g then I choose HS175D. at 214g it is micro-drone category in Canada. There are many models a little bit under 250g but with GPS and good camera. Very good cameras are weighty and come with bigger batteries. to extend range.
@@b4ugo well i was looking at the Jbi mini 2 Im not sure but i like this one so much. It has all the features i like Are there a lil cheaper ones with most of the same functional features like Rth Attitude hold Display the info on screen. Like i said im a TOTAL NEWBIE
Actually, my FPV’s are now, Holy Stone is just an important drone in the market because they make good budget drones, it is gun flying drones like the 100D and getting so much out of something that was so inexpensive, thanks for watching
the 720g has a weak camera from experience. one small crash (the only thing that happened were the wings got a small scratch on them) and the camera stopped working entirely
CHris, I have had small crash’s with $10k drones and it breaks the camera, a multiple axis gimbal is the weak point of any drone. Not like the HS175 where it is protected for beginners. Sorry but thanks for watching
Right now I really Like The 4DRC V5 for $20 (it might have went to $24) and the Sanrock U61, The DEERC D60 (same comepany as HS) flies for a crazy 20 minutes and its about $70
so what about the HS600? its seems the hs600 does everything the 720g does but with a 3 kilometer range. just ordered 1 and couldnt find it anyplace but walmart. and its cheaper than the 720g
They reached out to me when I only had 100 subscribers and said I looked wholesome and honest, lol. Just put out good content and brands will reach out to you. It’s the future of advertising. More people watch Mr Beast every month than all the people the watch the Super Bowl!
360 is much smaller, 720 has better flight time, better camera and overall is a better drone, that’s at hard price point though because the DJI Mini Se is just a little more
I have the HS340 and the HS720E, the 340 is fun for indoor use and the app allows for a budget "FPV" experience when you place your phone in a VR headset. I love the hs720 for it's gps features but the wifi app doesn't work well with android phones, I was getting a very poor connection to the camera when using an android phone where the Livefeed would cut out or freeze, I didn't have this issue as bad when I used an iPhone.
How about sending this old bloke to play with and learn i have played SANTA for 35 years once i learn i could give it to a child to learn also. So give it some thought was looking at the Holy Stone HS360S. for me once i know how to fly just realized this video is March 2022 and this is september 2023
help me out jamesey james ok this is jeff again now out of all the drones i've bought and i've boug ht more than the ones i've told you about already, so here it is without the nutshell and i'm not sugar coating it either, ok im handicapped and i cant get my holy stone drones or any other drone calibrated i've got your videos and it seems like nothing helps and i realy want to fly some drones, will you help me please, ill be your buddy!!!
Went through 4 720 e drones, 3 fly offs and the last one it just fell from the sky a 150 -175 meters distance at an altitude of about 85-90 feet. All pre flightchecks performed before each flight, flights were performed using both parabolic any Yagi Udo signal enhancement. Two flights were performed using IPhone 8 with OTG cable, and two with an IPhone 11 again utilizing an OTG setup. I cannot in good conscience recommend HS 720e, they simply don’t operate as intended. Remotes had fresh batteries, iPhones were fully charged. more than enough satellites in sync, and drone batteries fully charged. Dissatisfied and disappointed to say the least. I own and fly a DJI Spark, Magic Mini and an Air 2s and have flow. each of these in the same locations where the HS 720 e malfunctioned many times with no problems or glitches. Can’t support a product that doesn’t operate as advertised….at any price point! Buyers beware!
was it in the same spot every time? wonder if there is interference coming from something near you. WiFi drones can have that happen pretty easy. also, anytime you start getting towards the $300 range nothing comapres to a DJI MiniSE, but in the $100 range I still think HS and DEERC make the best drones which is still a important part of the industry, seems like lately there has been a lot of really companies making some nice budget drones. but if they are over 250grams they are all going to be worthless in a few months when RID licks in. Thanks for wathcing and your input.
Holy stone is a weak body structure Wi-Fi signal for there camera transmission is weak “even in airplane mode” the 720 tho uses the gps control commands very well if you don’t want to use Manual controls. A good practice drone from them is hs420 just be ready to connect to Wi-Fi to your phone aloy
Yes, even DJI used Lightbridge in the begging which was a wifi based transmission Sytem on the first Phantom’s and even the Spark. But, for the price point they are about as good as you can get. Thanks so much for the input.
This is a comment for other people not you...Which one ? None ...the one I got the hs720g is crap, just today I got off the novice mode and went 120 feet then I moved away about 100 feet and lost the signal because some trees blocking my view the thing started beeping I didn't get any video I thought it was returning but it took too long I got worried I walked towards it and got signal again guess what...no return home it was toilet bowling up in the air please someone buy it from me I'll give it to you for 180 or less save more get the dji
I did the calibration and when it was near me it didn't toilet bowl ..it scared the poop out of me because there's a busy road near by and I took oof from the park
I donthve any of thosedrones. Neverhad one actually but I've been watching a lot of videos on drones for almost 2 months now trying to learn anything i can about drones before i een get one and this channel is byfar one of the best.... Simple and straightforward ive been going through holy stones drones an this video sure narrowed things out ive been eyeing the hs440 for a week now and im thinking about starting with it! Thanksfor this video, i now know what brushless means! Thanks for the reviews on the different models, a very clever video idea99!
So, while I am an avid fan of holly stone, and own 4, I just bought a DJI mini 2. Wow! What a drone! I can see why they own so much of the market.
Love your channel, and your prospective. Don’t stop.
Thank you!
Thanks so much Nicholas! That means a lot, Hope to have a lot more coming soon!
How is the camera work under the cold conditions? Does it tilt okay?
@@Brother-Bare I flew my 720G in the snow and the camera worked great!
@@rixorgannabis608 I am having trouble with my E700. In extreme cold, the camera freezes and will not tilt.
@rixorgannabis608 I didn't try my 720. I like how the 700 E handles and how stable the camera is.
I do love holy Stone drones I have eight of them myself but I have to say my two favorite ones would be the 700e and the 720e I love the mobility of the 720e but as far as flying good battery life and being stable in five mile wind 700e hands down great review
Thanks so much! They definitely have their place in the market! Not everyone wants to start with an expensive drone, so, there are some really bad ones out there
Excellent review of the Holy Stone line. Thanks for the good, the bad and the UGLY. I hope a lot of beginners see this to help them make good choices. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!
I've got 4 holy stone drones right now and I like each one a lot.Holy stone really is a great company.
I own the 720G. Love it! I've had it for a few months now. So glad I chose HolyStone!! Started out with some cheaper ones first. I just wish it had obstacle avoidance. But it's got everything else.
Hi there yes I own 2 HOLYSTONE HS-210 DRONES they are awesome to fly love it ...
I have been an Avid Fan of Drone Videos on U Tube for a long time and just came across Your Channel
a few days ago but I must say that You Stand
Proudly Among The Best There Is 😁 🦀 😷
That might the nicest comment on my channel, thanks so much!
Your site is the greatest. What an excellent teacher you are! I am having the time of my life with the HS 210, flying it around the house. Have also taken it outside in dead-calm conditions and on speed level 3 it's great. You give the best advice, are concise and to the point, have a wonderful manner in your presentation and all your videos are so enjoyable to watch and learn from. Tonight, after watching this entire video, I just ordered the HS 110D from Amazon here in Canada. I ordered it based upon your recommendations and know I will enjoy it immensely. I hope you are able to keep on making these videos for a long time to come. We are all so much the richer for your wonderful work. My sincere thanks to you. Warmest regards from Toronto, Canada.
Thanks so much Cam! Sorry so late in reply, been on vacation. I road raced with a guy names Cam Roos! I have quit and interesting story on him!
@@b4ugo Be safe with the road racing!!
Nice to see you still like the 510! I just ordered one as it was one of the few drones that I can get free shipping, no tax or import fees to Jardin Colombia South America (I am originally from Phoenixville PA outside Philly) This will be my first drone that I bought, but I have flown two DJI drones in the past so not a 100% newbie. Thanks for the great reviews and more importantly for the information on calibration of these drones for no fly-offs or toilet bowling! Well done!
Thanks MArk, the 510 reminds me of the DJI Spark in the way its flys. It really quick and turns so quickly. Stay safe in COlombia!
I bought the HS720G as my beginner drone and love it
I love the HS drones. I own 6 of them right now and have been buying them since 2019 when I first took flight. I searched videos, and Google b4 I purchased any and don't know why my first was the 100D which was a great drone. Back in 2019 I also owned the 700, and 700D b4 I cleaned out my drone room and sold everything. Got back into droning so purchased the HS700D as my first one this time then found a HS720 to buy, then bought the 165, another HS720, and a 160. Next one will be the HS720E I think but not sure yet. The HS600 looks good or the 360 so I might buy one of those. All in all, Holy Stone has great Customer support with just an email or phone call, and that is not what the other low budjet drones offer. If I crashed my HS700D today and totaled it, I wouldn't be out much and could go buy another one and use the crashed one for parts. They are fun to fly around...
Thanks so much Paul, the 720g will be out in a week or two! It’s much lighter with a multiple axes gimbal and longer flight time. I have had it a month but can’t release the video until it’s released
I have an hs175d showing up tomorrow 6-24-22. I'll let you know. Been learning on an Eachine E58 I got at a garage sale for $10, for about a month. It flies okay-ish, but it losses connection with controller very easily. Looking forward to the upgrade. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the great info.
I still think its the best GPS drone with brushless motors for that price, camera is protected, takes good pics but there isn’t a gimbal, let me know how you like it.
Damn , I went with the 175d and it did very well the first two flights but during the third later that day , after 10 minutes of flyjng and getting my confidence to go further and higher I was really happy the drone was working according to my thumbs . I started doing baseball field (Infield and outfield size ) circles @100% speed and was happy with the performance . I went up over a hundred feet , fwd , backward , back down , again a few more times before letting it hover @around 20ft . Prob 30 seconds later the drone shot straight up into the air and full tilt reverse . Pushing fwd was the only way to stop it and regain enough control to get it land it without having it flip or getting mud on the props . Luckily I’ve flown a while to do this . I tried 3 more times and after a minute or so of hovering , as I was cautious, same thing each time before I packed it up . I ve read so many comments about similar issues or another . Are they all like this ? Even the dji ones ? Just going rogue out of nowhere in a field with nothing around , in gps the whole time . I don’t know and need help
Hello my brother just got me the Holy Stone HS440 for my birthday . He and I will be trying it out our nearest park. Also I was surprised he got me this Drone.
Happy birthday! Let us know how you like it, take it low and slow in the begging!
@@b4ugo thank you
I really like the 700 e it looks good also, so Mr James does it really fly good and stable.
I want a drone to keep practicing on and get better so than I can get me a more better drone with a good camera. I do appreciate your videos and your time. Thank you Mr James keep them videos coming, I still got to do some catching up on some of your videos I missed due to me working and being so busy. Thanks for your opinions and advice.
That means a lot , thanks so much!
Just got the hs450 and the HS175D. I'll practice on the 450 then move up to the 175D
Awesome video and great info as always. I have the holy stone hs470 or as known as the xil 193 pro drone. It's like the zll sg906 drone. Great flight and video. At first I could not get the cellphone to connect. But when I changed to a 5g phone it connected. Even though I need to turn off the mobile data so the phone can use the app especially the camera.
Good show I have 440 very pleased with it I also recommend flying without the camera
Yes, especially till you get comfortable with it!
I have the Hs700e and love flying it. It is my first drone and was very easy to learn to fly only because I watched your video and several others that said to do the full calibration everytime and after changing batteries. Now I want to get the 210!
They are way cheaper on EBay, everyone should have a couple of 210’s around, they are fun and really teach you to fly better
Yes, I didn't completely understand that concept! Hence why my first drone lives in a tree now! 😳
hs710 fire bro I use one peace of double sided 3m tape to hold my go pro and the footage is amazing!!!!
Love the HS 210 - Easy to fly, virtually indestructible, won't break anything indoors, cheap, great customer support- cons: hard to take out battery, need good lighting, not for outdoors
Great News! A better one is coming out very soon with modular batteries!
I got the hs210 and I love it!
I also own many HS drones as well as many of the HS DEERC line up. I have the HS700 version with the go pro style camera that I enjoy but looking at getting the 700e . That I believe has the same camera as the DE22 and is fantastic. I just hope it flies as well as the Hs700.
The hs260 is a fun foldable drone for a beginner but can be tricky in the wind ha ha.
Yes, I bought a DeeRC DE22 for $40 recently, it flies good, I’m going to review it soon, thanks for watching
I really hope my grandson do well with the HS 190 he got it today and hopefully he do well with it I'm charging it no it says the charging is only 30 to 40 minutes I'm excited to see how he does
How did he like it?
Great run down, I didn't relies Holy Stone had so many models. Don't own one yet, I have a couple of Snaptains. Thanks for the videos !! 👍👍
Thanks Russ! A lot of them are the same, like the 550’s
Fantastic review! Keep 'em coming...
Thanks so Adrian! See you Saturday
Hey man I just got the tsrc version of the holy Stone 1080 p gps. I'm new to fine Best feature I went for. A little trial and error seems to be holding up! The only thing that scares me is the return to home! That joker seems to want to go way higher than I've flown it. I always feel like it's going to take off so I undo it and fly it back manually. Scary though! Thanks for your videos I've gotten a lot of good information
check the settings, you might be able to reset the RTH height, but, make sure its higher than everything around you....fly safe and have fun!
Wow you put out some amazing informative videos! Thank you so much. I am still looking o get my first drone. I’ve already taken my FAA test and don’t even have a drone yet! I’m trying to stay under the $100 mark for this if possible. Important factors: gps? I don’t want to lose this thing!, camera yea it would be nice if this was decent, usable, I want to be able to fly it outside and not worry too much about wind obviously I would fly it in high wind. Case, haha yes I would like it to have a case to store it in. Holy Stone seems to be a good standard to look at that I can see.
The best drone for $100 is the LRYC L900 ( I have a review on it) but thats from Bangood, the best GPS Drone from AMazon is still the HS175d (unless the 240 is still on sell) BUt The best value is the HS430 with my 40% off discount code WWOW430, its a great drone for $30.
Love my HS 720.
1970 ft before the video went out 😊
That’s as far as I have heard, wi-fi drones are usually meant for 300 meters or so, I have lost trying to test the limit. Thanks for the inpit
Thanks for the video,, overall what's is the first pick for beginners.
Inside, the HS210, outside I really like the HS430, but not if its windy, best GPS drone is the 710 because itson sale
James, thanks for the review of the HS drones. I have the HS510 and really love it. I have enjoyed how nimble it is and fast. I’m a new flyer and been practicing with a Loolinn U61 indoors. Can’t wait for spring to get my Holy Stone HS510 and HS440 outside. Great review
Thanks Joseph, The new 720G looks just like 440, even more than the 720E
The tsrc version of the holy Stone 180 gps I believe is exactly the same drone does have a visual screen on the remote which is a big help for me
Awesomess!
As you can tell from my channel name i hope to have a channel like you one day. But loosing my house and wife ...well everything I kind of gave up on everything. But I do hope I can make a come back one day and start doing real reviews! But I hate my voice and the way I look so I dnt know. Hopefully I can overcome all this and have a channel half as good as yours one day! Would be a dream come true to have drones sent to me for free as long as I review them! Then of course give them away! LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!!!!!!!! that's a lot of drones!!
I lost everything 7 years ago and now and so blessed to be remarried and God has restored me even better than I was before, only He is the answer!
Great review. Everything HS in a nut shell
Thanks Stanley! Any advice ?
I got the HS720G and was wondering about accessories like strobe lights, propeller guards, and landing gear that I see everywhere for the 720 and 720E
just about any strobe light will work, they velcro on, i see landing gear on ebay that is 3d printed. How do you like the drone?
I was wondering the same thing actually. I was looking for some propeller guards (with no luck). Just landing gear, batteries, and spare propellers and arms... But there aren't many accessories for the hs720g yet.
Love the HS 700E, the only thing, the camera doesn't tilt in the cold weather. This was an expensive find because of me, not securing one of the propellers. I thought when it fell to the ground, it was because my neglect, but it wasn't. Other than that. it flies great.
Glad You Like It, If They Take off warm they are OK for a bit, but yes, they will do all kinds of weird things in cold weather, i have had ice form on the blades too. Thanks for watching
Great rundown on all of the Holy Stone drones James! I’ll have to definitely check out the HS210, I have always wanted to get one since you like that one so well as a beginner drone, the 210 will have to be it. When I purchased my first Holy Stone Drone they asked me to be a reviewer on the HS Drones and I did a couple of video reviews for them, but I haven’t done any more reviews with them & I think they may have dropped me as a reviewer because I haven’t received anymore request to do a review. Maybe they didn’t like my last review Lol 😂 Hopefully they will ask me again if I send them an email message to ask about doing reviews. Oh well, wish me luck!
Email me at james@b-4ugo.com and ill reach out to them. The 210 is such a blast! You cant help but smile when your flying it
Hi. Iv just by chance came across your channel . Was looking for advice about my hs 600 I bought about 3 month ago. Two things I was wondering about. You've just answered one and that's about the lack of 600 for sale and why people like yourself not having tested them as yet . Strange they didn't give it much of a run. Anyways, my second question is how do you get the landing lights to come on. Two lights mounted on the underside of the drone. Much appreciate any advice on this. Great channel . Good honest impartial advice 👍👍
thanks Bobby, the 600 is only availble through Walmart because HS sold out of them for Amazon, honestly I have never flown one,
@@b4ugo hi. Thanks for the reply and for what it's worth fron an amateurish view, they're very much plug in and go . Like you've said yourself, the holystone in general are a very good low budget drone. But after watching the review of the potensic atom se , I think a lot of these lower budget products will be looking to up their game . Not available in the UK at the moment but will be looking to purchase one as soon as. Thanks again Rob.
I have the HS720E , nice camera and and good quality, my only complain is that first it does not go as far as they claim it to go and also sometimes it has a mind of its own and does not respond to commands.
Hi, I love yours videos :) 👍💪 Do you have some comparison videos of mini drones for beginners? I still looking which would be best for me as a for beginner. Or maybe you can make some video? Where we can see differences between different mini drone. Thank you and all the best :)
Not yet! Thats a great idea, there are 2 or 3 that are on top, the Holytone 330, The 4DRC V5 and the Holystone 210
After alot of looking..I got me the HS360..great stabilization..good camera..I just fky them for fun.. probably best one I'll get until maybe 1 day a dji. I feel father the 360..a 720g would be an upgrade..but not a ton. So dji for me. Just today got me the 430 you review ed for fun!
You will love the 430! Thanks for watching
Hope you could review the HS720G, a HS720E but with improved EIS camera and 2 axis gimbal and maybe more improvements. Thanks and more power!
I have, I just can’t post it till it’s released, I showed it on a video and they asked me to blur it till it’s released, probably at the end of the month.
@@b4ugo Wow, thanks for that. Can’t wait to watch it.
@@b4ugo so cool!!! Man you have a fun life!!! at least what you post looks fun! I know everyone has trouble and problems but for some reason I think you don't have much of either lol. Enjoy your Sunday!
Have you reviewed that HS510 yet? Saw it on the table. I have it coming in the mail tomorrow. I also own the HS175d, the Deerc D10 which is basically the HS240, The HS430, The HS440, The Deerc D20, and Holyton's HT02. All three companies are more or less the same. I've enjoyed every single one as well. I just wish their GPS drones we're a lot more stable. I know everyone says "DJI DJI DJI" but I don't have a 64 bit phone so I can't use DJI Fly. If anyone has any good recommendations for GPS drones that are stable and don't require a 64 bit operating system on your phone, let me know please. Thanks for the great video man!
Yes sir, look under Holy Stone Play list, it’s their sportiest flier. Nice to meet someone who enjoys mini drones also!
@@b4ugo Yeah, as I was getting into drones, I took your advice on getting a nano/mini drone for learning. I'm 19 so flying these things is like flying a helicopter in a GTA game to me, so I learned fast. You weren't lying about the HS510 being sporty either. Damn thing's fast!
Thanks for the tips you have in your videos. They taught me a lot, and ultimately got me into the hobby. I've went ahead and found a 64 bit phone so the Mini SE is my next target. Can't wait to feel what it's like to actually trust the drone you're flying. Bless you man!
I feel like the hs360 is very underrated it works perfect for me great camera
Thanks for sharing, have a great Year Bryce!
I got the HS175D for a Christmas present. Now, this is my first ever flying machine so I must admit I'm frightened to fly in anything other than a wide open space. To me it has all the safety features I want. If I run into trouble I can press home, if the battery goes too flat it will return, if it loses signal it will still return and I think it's powerful enough to fight a reasonable wind to return. I'm having a lot of fun with it, the only thing that is frustrating is the damn thing seems very reluctant to calibrate, often it "times out" but of course, that could be operator error. Got any tips for me? Like your content, it's cool.
Couple things, try deleting the app and reinstalling it first. But, the best thing to so is try another device, i had one once that would only work on my ipad, and once I got it to work then it worked on my phone. Also, make sure you are not near any metal (even concrete has rebar) more expensive drones will tell you there is metal interference.
The main thing is that its trying to connect to the Satillites so make sure it has a clear shot, sometimes it will even work inside but much better outside. Try to learn the orientation on a mini drone. Thanks for watching
You say at 10:42 that the HS710 does not have an optical flow sensor. The HS site and Amazon listing say it does. So does the box. I received this no more more than an hour ago, and haven't yet taken it out of the box.
Ill have to check that, thanks
After review of all your videos you recommended to start with the 210.
If someone with limited experience and flight time got something like the 260 or 340 or something of similar size with a camera to start with.
Would that build up the muscle memory? Or would you suggest the 210 no matter what and then a budget one once the skills are mastered, would like something with a camera in the end.
The overall goal is just to build up flight hours, the snapatain drone I have now I can only get maybe 20 seconds of flight about 3 feet off the ground before it flys out of control and I have to use the emergency stop. So I guess my skills aren't up to par yet.
Any recommendations?
with the Snaptain, make sure your calibrating the Gyro's before you take off. I think the HS430 is the best little drone with a camera and it flies for 11-12 minutes, most pick up it up pretty quick, 20 minutes for a teenager and a hour or so for old guys like me!
Nice review holy stone is a nice drone i have one
Thanks For watching Bobby! Fly safe
Amazing review, I've got the Holystone 430 mini but recently it hasn't been flying. I've been charging the batteries, I haven't crashed it and the controller battery is good. What should I do to make it fly again?
Are you sure the batteries are getting charged? Is it powering on but not taking off? Need a little more to understand the problem
@@b4ugo yes its powering on but not taking off
I really like the micro drones HS makes, I have a HS330 and a HS420 both handle
great indoors. the 420 has a camera that is pretty decent for what it is.
But outdoors I prefer the DJI mini's. The hs micro's are so quite you would think their
brushless. I recently bought a tello but is was way to loud for inside and not near as
controllable with or without a controller.
I have always thought the Tello was way overhyped, I like the HS430 better, there is new version of the HS210 coming out soon with modular batteries, that one to me always flew the best, thanks for the input
Thanks for the guide/lesson!!.. Does wifi Drone mean it won't work outside your home wifi network ..or is it its own network anywhere within range of your phone? ...can you use these wifi 5g drones off grid or away from your home network?
It uses the Wi-Fi from your device, not your home. It doesn’t need any connection to the internet, so yes, it will work anywhere as long as your device meets the requirements. Thanks for watching Mr Nickel!
@B4U GO thanks!
I sure wish I had watched some more videos on drones before I flew my drone a few days ago. It flew up into a tree where it lives now. 😭. I tried to get it down but to no avail. Oh well, lesson learned. I should have used a fishing line! 😅. I'm thinking of getting a small one and getting the hang of it and then possibly getting a bit better one.
I have used PVC pipes connected to get them out of tress before, happens in FPV all the time, thanks so watching and try the HOLYTONE 330!
@@b4ugo I am afraid the drone is toast now since we had a good steady rain today. It was a hjhrc hj28. I got it like last year and tried to fly it once, gave up on it till a few days ago but i should have watched more videos etc. But I might get something for another time IF it should happen again!
I am between the hs440 and hs110d for my first drone. Which is more durable? Would you recommend one over the other?
Be sure and check out the HS430, I have a 40% off discount code and its a great drone, perfect to learn on and it has a longer flight time and a better camera. WWWOW430 (black one) but between those 2 I like the 110d because it is more durable. (And faster)
Is there a Holly stone that you would compare to the DJI mavic? I want a drone with a bit more precision, but I love holly stone value. Thanks, love your channel!
No, DJI has 74% of the market for a reason. But, until the release of the MiniSE, Holy Stone had the best $300. But still they make the best Mini drones and budget drones under $200. Some people that all they want to spend. But I think DJI sells the SE to cheap. It’s an amazing drone and the best deal ever.
@@b4ugo thank you for your reply. I really value your opinion. I now own the HS 350, 420, 710, 720, and 700. I forget all the suffix’s, but they are all good drones for the $.
I would really like to try a DJI, so one is probably in the offing.
Thank you!
Holy stone so so many choices
Yeppers, There is more than I listed
What’s your recommendation for a budget gps drone. I need something that can fly outdoors. It’s his first non toy drone. He fly’s my Dji drone pretty good, but he doesn’t need something of that level. Camera quality is not important.
That Walmart Drone I reviewed was really good for $99! The HS175D is sold out right now but the HS710 is on sale for $179! It used to be $250. I have a couple on the way that are like $75 from Banggood that are GPS drones.
I have a 720e and am terrified of losing it as a beginner pilot. I’m worried that my GPS is faulty because it doesn’t sit as stable in the air as other drones I see on TH-cam. I saw you had a clip with a fishing line?? Is that something I could try to gain confidence?
No, dont use it, line got stuck in props, lol, i was showing how stupid I was not buying a mini drone first and learning the basics of orientation. That will give you the confidence you need!
I would love to have an inexpensive return back to home drone for deer scouting I have looked at a lot of these drones just don't know which one to go with
Actually its illegal to hunt with drones, you can go out the day before and do scouting, the 175D is a great price for a GPS brushless motor drone
Im thinking hs700e but they don't have extra batteries anymore while the 720 have still lots available 🤔
I have not heard that, let me check with them!
Good review but what is your best choice under 250 grams. I dont want to pass through papers needed.
Honestly, I like the HS430, its the best value, use my 40% off discount code (black one) plus its on sale which brings it from $70 to $29 I think, code is WWWOW430
@@b4ugo I have an HS110D but want GPS as it is easier to fly in wind. So I ordered and cancelled an hour later HS720E; 481g is well over 250g then I choose HS175D. at 214g it is micro-drone category in Canada. There are many models a little bit under 250g but with GPS and good camera. Very good cameras are weighty and come with bigger batteries. to extend range.
I have the Hs210 i love it. I want the next up. But i have no idea what to get now.
I want to go brushless and gps?
the HS710 is on sale on Amazon for $179, what is your budget?
@@b4ugo well i was looking at the Jbi mini 2
Im not sure but i like this one so much. It has all the features i like
Are there a lil cheaper ones with most of the same functional features like

Like i said im a TOTAL NEWBIE
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you 👌🏼😎
I have the HS11OG I haven’t flown it because I am afraid of crashing it, is this a good drone
Its a great drone, especially for a beginner, you might want to get a micro mini drone and learn the orientation first to be comfortable
How about the HS600 ? Have you flown this one yet ? Just picked it up myself
No, it was not out for very long, I asked them and they quit making them because the 720G coming out in a couple of weeks
I have a strong feeling that holystone is your favorite drone.😁
Actually, my FPV’s are now, Holy Stone is just an important drone in the market because they make good budget drones, it is gun flying drones like the 100D and getting so much out of something that was so inexpensive, thanks for watching
@@b4ugo what drones do you recommend for a beginner FPV?
hs 430 vs 440?
the 720g has a weak camera from experience. one small crash (the only thing that happened were the wings got a small scratch on them) and the camera stopped working entirely
CHris, I have had small crash’s with $10k drones and it breaks the camera, a multiple axis gimbal is the weak point of any drone. Not like the HS175 where it is protected for beginners. Sorry but thanks for watching
@@b4ugo ill be making a video. dont care if i break the drone just want to do a teardown of the drone in case someone has the same issue
What other brands besides Holy Stone do you like that sell beginner drones?
Right now I really Like The 4DRC V5 for $20 (it might have went to $24) and the Sanrock U61, The DEERC D60 (same comepany as HS) flies for a crazy 20 minutes and its about $70
A real life beginner drone is probably the best start, but there are videos of people who started on sims and then fly drones, IRL.
It’s the only way to figure out how to fly FPV in manual mode for most. Harder than people think, thanks for watching
I just received an HS 430 and have not opened it yet. Any good?
I want to buy between hs440 and hs260 tell me which one should l buy
I think the 260 is on sale, it’s a better drone for the price, but the new 360s is way better for a little more
Helpfull bro
How bout the HS100 GPS I have both round camera an,the HS100 the square camera module
Fun drones, I didn’t include those?
@@b4ugo they crash real good to sometimes. Thanks for your response. Take care. Keep on flying
so what about the HS600? its seems the hs600 does everything the 720g does but with a 3 kilometer range. just ordered 1 and couldnt find it anyplace but walmart.
and its cheaper than the 720g
Yes, they are discontinued by HS, but Walmart has some left over. I asked for one but they dont have any left. Let me know how you like it
That is so cool! Holy stone makes the best cheap drones haha Btw what happen to that mavic?
#HOLYSTONE
I didn’t crash it, a friend did, proof that droning and drinking isn’t to smart, lol
@@b4ugo haha not lucky enough, that drone cost 50k+ here in the philippines that is so expensive
how did you get hs to start sending you drones?
They reached out to me when I only had 100 subscribers and said I looked wholesome and honest, lol. Just put out good content and brands will reach out to you. It’s the future of advertising. More people watch Mr Beast every month than all the people the watch the Super Bowl!
@@b4ugo thank you for the reply. Now i know.
Looking for a FPV ??? With a controller to practice with? Upgradable
Start with Liftoff! Also, I would start with HD but its more expensive but you will be happy later, the DJI QRemote is on dale for $299
I bought a kf 102 max which seems to be defective. Should've went with the hs 720e 😢
Sorry to hear that, I have the KF101 and it flies really good
@@b4ugo I got it mostly for the small size.
anyways, we'll see. hopefully they replace it.
And today the HS720G is at $209 on amazon. price dropped a lot.
wow, and I noticed the HS710 was $179 but at $209 thats a great deal, thanks for watching
whats the difference in the hs360 and the hs 720g????
360 is much smaller, 720 has better flight time, better camera and overall is a better drone, that’s at hard price point though because the DJI Mini Se is just a little more
the 720g it is ....thank you so kindly
What do you think of the hs 161?
Actually never seen one, if there not on Amazon HS dosnt have one to send me….you have one?
@@b4ugo no but I've seen reviews from other guys' channels about it.
You can find one on ebay
The only problem with your pricing is that them prices are only for the USA
Sorry, that would take a lot time to list both
Ok so I'm hoping im doing this per your holy stone drone give away. I'm in Colorado Springs Colorado USA oh and chet is my name
I have a 720e
Still a solid drone!
You forgot the HS550.
I dont think they make them anymore, ill check, its the same as the SP550 from Snaptain.
I have hs340
fun little drone!
I have the HS340 and the HS720E, the 340 is fun for indoor use and the app allows for a budget "FPV" experience when you place your phone in a VR headset. I love the hs720 for it's gps features but the wifi app doesn't work well with android phones, I was getting a very poor connection to the camera when using an android phone where the Livefeed would cut out or freeze, I didn't have this issue as bad when I used an iPhone.
Yes, I only have iPhones and have never had the problems I read about.
How about sending this old bloke to play with and learn i have played SANTA for 35 years once i learn i could give it to a child to learn also. So give it some thought was looking at the Holy Stone HS360S. for me once i know how to fly just realized this video is March 2022 and this is september 2023
help me out jamesey james ok this is jeff again now out of all the drones i've bought and i've boug ht more than the ones i've told you about already, so here it is without the nutshell and i'm not sugar coating it either, ok im handicapped and i cant get my holy stone drones or any other drone calibrated i've got your videos and it seems like nothing helps and i realy want to fly some drones, will you help me please, ill be your buddy!!!
Which one have you tried? GPS or just a WiFi drone?
No love for the HS600? lol
Ill see if they will send me one, i dont think they have anymore
Went through 4 720 e drones, 3 fly offs and the last one it just fell from the sky a 150 -175 meters distance at an altitude of about 85-90 feet. All pre flightchecks performed before each flight, flights were performed using both parabolic any Yagi Udo signal enhancement. Two flights were performed using IPhone 8 with OTG cable, and two with an IPhone 11 again utilizing an OTG setup. I cannot in good conscience recommend HS 720e, they simply don’t operate as intended. Remotes had fresh batteries, iPhones were fully charged. more than enough satellites in sync, and drone batteries fully charged. Dissatisfied and disappointed to say the least. I own and fly a DJI Spark, Magic Mini and an Air 2s and have flow. each of these in the same locations where the HS 720 e malfunctioned many times with no problems or glitches. Can’t support a product that doesn’t operate as advertised….at any price point! Buyers beware!
was it in the same spot every time? wonder if there is interference coming from something near you. WiFi drones can have that happen pretty easy. also, anytime you start getting towards the $300 range nothing comapres to a DJI MiniSE, but in the $100 range I still think HS and DEERC make the best drones which is still a important part of the industry, seems like lately there has been a lot of really companies making some nice budget drones. but if they are over 250grams they are all going to be worthless in a few months when RID licks in. Thanks for wathcing and your input.
Holy stone is a weak body structure Wi-Fi signal for there camera transmission is weak “even in airplane mode” the 720 tho uses the gps control commands very well if you don’t want to use Manual controls. A good practice drone from them is hs420 just be ready to connect to Wi-Fi to your phone aloy
Yes, even DJI used Lightbridge in the begging which was a wifi based transmission Sytem on the first Phantom’s and even the Spark. But, for the price point they are about as good as you can get. Thanks so much for the input.
hey james what happend? i'm no longer on your website.
Not sure what that means Jeff
This is a comment for other people not you...Which one ? None ...the one I got the hs720g is crap, just today I got off the novice mode and went 120 feet then I moved away about 100 feet and lost the signal because some trees blocking my view the thing started beeping I didn't get any video I thought it was returning but it took too long I got worried I walked towards it and got signal again guess what...no return home it was toilet bowling up in the air please someone buy it from me I'll give it to you for 180 or less save more get the dji
I did the calibration and when it was near me it didn't toilet bowl ..it scared the poop out of me because there's a busy road near by and I took oof from the park
