Thanks for your consistently understandable reviews. I’ve been looking at the HS710 so I think this review will help as I study both.
Thanks so much Terry, glad you like them!
I just purchased this Holy Stone HS510 as my first drone. I'm enjoying learning how to fly it here in South Carolina! Thanks for all your great reviews!!
Thanks so Much Randy for all your support!
Another amazing video. Keep them coming.
Thanks sir!
Thank you for your lovely review.😊
Thanks so much, This is still one of my favorite drones to fly! I don’t think it ever got enough credit, I need to do another review on this drone!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome job explaining brother!!🙏😇
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks for this. Had trouble learning to initially fly mine as a first time user, this helped me a lot, had to go out to an empty football field at my local rec center coz I almost dropped it in the lake during some test flights so had to take myself back to a nice open comfy space while I get used to it
Just like driving a car, after a while your subconscious takes over, the learning curve is different for everyone and if it’s been a while you need to reset sometimes
best drone
This is a fun 1!
Great review on the HS510. Its a nice little nifty quad for beginners or hobbyists that just want to rip it in the air for fun. The camera would’ve been better if it have real EIS but it is what it is.
Thanks so much, what do you having coming up next?
@@b4ugo Man, I have so many things that I haven’t reviewed yet. Just been too busy with work and other projects that I don’t have the free time that I used to have. So whenever I have the time I try to get something up on the channel. Hopefully, I can put some new content out soon.
P.S. I did have time to watch your video though 😊
I calibrate my drone everytime because I know that makes the home return work and the satellites to know where the drone is ...You fly in rural locations where there's no telephone companies antennas on top of buildings that's why you don't have problems with reception , I don't recommend anyone to have holystone in the city where there's so many interference,this is not a comment to you but to warn people who read the comments
Yes, interference is a problem with Wi-Fi drones, but, the drone is using the wi-fi- from your phone and not the towers, dosnt really need outside signal. The new HS drones the HS360s and the new HS720R (not released but I have one to test) do not use wi-fi, so improvements are coming.
This was my first gps drone. Doesn't have real good range. About 200 yards. By my house it is affected by interference pretty bad. Now I'm spoiled with my mini 2. It is fun to fly though.
Yes, DJI has 74% of the market for a reason and the Mini is the best all around drone ever. But, HS has their place in the Market place

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. Took it out for a quick flight really easy to fly the only problem is only one battery. Trying to find a extra one on Amazon but they can't deliver to my address but roll on Christmas day.
I didn’t know they where only available with one battery, thanks for watching!
Like your reviews. Looking for my first drone. I'm having trouble deciding between this and the 710. My experience years ago with electric planes tells me more power is always good so maybe the 510. On the other hand longer flight times and being able to control the camera angle would be nice. The drone will be used on camping trips to get an aerial shot of campsites and also just fun flying on our property. Would you say the 510 is a lot more stable in windy conditions?
its really good in windy conditions because its so compact and powerful, would take good pictures but not made for video, you would need a drone with a gimbal for that. thaks for watching
The HS175D is up to $200 on Amazon. About $30 increase in the past 3 months. The HS510 is $170 but the Eachine Ex4 is brushless, GPS, and has a 3-axis gimbal for $179 plus it comes with 3 batteries.
Thanks, just ordered it!
@@b4ugo I look forward to seeing your review of that one.
@@b4ugo when are you reviewing ex4?
I am really glad I found your channel! Your reviews are excellently done, but I am looking for your personal opinion on something. I have narrowed my choices down to the hs175d or the hs510 … this will be my first gps drone … what would you recommend and why? I feel like it would be an easy choice if the 510 had the feature to be able to move the camera with the remote but I also don’t know how important that is for me as I plan to use it to check on my 15 acre property without having to walk around it.
I like the 510 drone better (even. Though it has a shorter flight time) It seems more solid and powerful, better in the wind. But, I like the 510’s controller way better also, the LED display gives you much more easy to read data. Thanks for watching!
Did you have a camera attached to the drone
If so which one
Thank as usual informative an exciting video
It’s the Insta360 go, it only weights 9 grams, makes for a cool shot! Thanks for watching
I notice on some drones you do a compass calibration and also a Gyro calibration. This HS510 only needs the Gyro calibration before each flight correct? On your new review of the Syma EX220W you do both a compass calibration from the remote with the lever controls and then you do the Gyro calibration just like on the HS510 buy spinning it horizontally and then vertically 3 times. Just thought it would be helpful to clear this up on this drone and perhaps others. Thanks!
Great Question, it so easy to do a Gyro (I just do it out of habit) but the compass depends on if the drone knows where its at. If it close to the same place as before it may not need it. Kinda like when you get in your car and it dosnt know which way your going till you start moving. So, If I ever change flight area I will do it. Whats not fun is when your doing a drone show with 360 drones and they all need one, we call that the "Drone Dance"
@@b4ugo I could not find any instructions on "Compass" calibration on the HS510, only on the Gyro calibration which I also perform before every flight and I also check the two propeller screws on all four props from time to time before flying. Does the HS510 have a self calibrating Compass or am I missing something?
So, I take it you are mounting a second camera on top of the drone for your videos? The videos I have seen of the HS510 look pretty choppy due to not having a 3-way gimble but you video from the top mounted camera seem pretty smooth.
I did find your "Short" that mentions how you pulled that off... th-cam.com/users/shortsXfnwf4TRzj0 for those who also would like to know: HeiyRC Sports Camera Mount for $9 on amazon and a first gen Insta360 GO. I can see why the cheaper drones do not use stabilization on the built-in cameras... I guess it would add WAY too much to the cost of the drone and thus why all the drones with smooth video are twice the cost or more.
We just recently bought 2 drones, the Holy Stone HS510 (245g) and a Tello (80g). This is my first experience with drones and I am quite impressed with both. I do have one question though...Our Holy Stone will not do the automatic land that the manual indicates that it does, and when we try to force land it, several times it has skidded off to one side running into objects-dangerous. We are not sure why this does it?
If I am reading correctly, the left controller tap down quickly when in close proximity to the ground is supposed to land it? Am I reading this incorrectly?
Are you setting the Gyro’s and making sure it is on a flat surface? Usually when it does this its because the Gyro is kinda out whack. Also, it has an optical flow sensor which lets it know its close to the ground so it will pause and then descend slowly. If it is not defending straight down then something is off. Be sure and follow a complete checklist evertime, hope that helps. Let me know if I could help further, thanks for wathcing
@@b4ugo Hi,
We have done complete checklists and ensure calibration every time we begin a session of flying because we wish to ensure there will be no issues. My 1st time flying was last night and the I had been flying for about 8-9 minutes to get used to the controls better. I was aware of the trouble my partner had been having the evening before with landing so I was taking it slow and ensuring plenty of room between myself and the drone for landing. All landings have been on flat concrete or asphalt surfaces. This 1st landing had it skidding until it hit and stopped under the tires of a vehicle in the area. The drone appeared minimal to unharmed except for the one arm no longer being in locked position and needing to be clicked back to go again.
Just to be clear, it is the toggle switch or the button above that will do this automatic landing?
We have had to hold the toggle switch down for several seconds to get a decent landing and hold until the propellers stop.
so you have to hold drone and spin it in diff directions each time you fly? what if you shut off outside and than a half hour later want to fly again? do you have to do all the hand spinning again... thanks
It just takes a second and I would, once I just changed batteries and didn’t do it and it started toilet bowling and when I did catch it I had a pretty big cut on my finger, lol. Would have loved to have gotten a video of me chasing it!
what if you are go ut of range?can you still hit rth button and it comes back... so gps holds drone in last postion it was even if you don't touch sticks??? thanks for sharing
I wouldnt go past 300 meters, you cant see it past that anyway! Thanks
i think sport flying is best...years ago i spent a lot of money for fpv setup but never installed it... today you can buy better fpv googles etc for a fraction of the cost i spent...drones are everywhere now...they will be replacing many workers etc ...
HS510 or HS710? Which would you recommend since the difference in price point is $50.
I have the same question!!
I still like the HS510, its way faster even though the flight time is less. Anytime you get close to $250 your only $50 away from getting the DJI MINISE or another professional type drone
Do you have an Amazon Link for the best SD card for this drone? I just bought this drone. It's my first drone and I really have no idea what I am doing. lol. Or what I need for it. Thanks in advance.
Just make sure its a U3….V30 and you will be fine, even the budget ones are ok as long as they have this rating, also screen record on you phone, gives another view, great question
A quel vitesse de vent il résiste??
Great video!!! I wish I held off buying 175 and got a Dji Mini se... We will see what Santa brings 🎅.... I was looking at The EXO Ranger with obstacle avoidance... In your opinion would you get the DJI mini or would you try the ranger?
I have the mini 2. The mini se probably isn't far off. Compared to my other drones it's a Cadilac. I don't even worry about range just fly. I ended up putting blaze orange skins on it to make it easier to see. I get my son to watch it while I fly fpv. So I can focus on flying while he watches it. I believe the nd filters will fit on the mini se. I don't see any real good reviews on the exo ranger. Just my opinion. I was tempted by the sale price. Glad I didn't buy it.
I agree completely Donald, Nothing even comes close to the value of the MiniSE
what camera you are using attached to the drone? how do you attached it?
amzn.to/3k4K3s3, here is the Amazon link for the attachment, ($9) and I used a Insta360 Go. (9 grams)
In order, where would you place the HS510, 175D, 710, 700E, and last the Potensic Atom SE. From best to worst, or favorite to least favorite. Which one would be best for FPV with a drone mask? Also could you rate the cameras on each. If you have time! Thanks! New subscriber here
They are all different. The 510 is the really fast but shorter flight time, the 700e is the most stable, the HS710 is by far the best deal right not because it $179 (down from $250) and as of right now the 175d is sold out. But, The AtomSE is a better drone (no-wifi) but its quit a bit more. Thanks for watching.
@@b4ugo Thanks for replying!
Does that RC have a real antenna wire on the left one?
Lol, that’s been a debate lately, I think one has a wire and one is fake.
Nice drone but abit expensive. Both nice
What is your price range and Ill try to help you choose, also, I’m giving 5 away, Dec 15th
Do you have to have a data plan to use this drone? My son wants one but doesn't have data on his phone. Only wifi when it's available
Sorry for the late reply, been down with Covid, no plan needed, it just uses the WiFi of the drone, so even if your in the Mountains where there is no reception it will just use the Phones wi-if, thanks for watching
Is there anyway to adjust trim...mine is not hovering perfectly....please help
No, it’s a GPS drone so it’s working with Satellites, it’s got to be that’s the Gyro’s are not set on the controller.
Be sure and reset it those evertime, also make sure there isn’t any metal objects around when doing a computer calibration
Ty. I am flying it indoors to get used to it and am not locked into GPS....
What are your thoughts about the hs720g vs hs720e? I'm looking for the best fly time and camera between the two. Thanks...
The G is way better, but the DJI Mini SE is close to the price and a really good drone, also, the 720R is coming soon!
@@b4ugo really I never heard of the R
I can't stop the hs510 from toilet bowling. I calibrate properly each time and no luck. When I turn off gps it works as it should. Any advice?
Anthony, You must be near some metal or interferance, I have had that happen occasionally, once I move somewhere else it went away, also,....Are you gettting plenty of Satilites?
@@b4ugo I tried multiple locations and 18 satellites. I just received a new drone today another hs510. This drone works perfectly, the other drone was defective. I hope this one lasts 🤞
That discount code no longer works, so you may want to update it if you want people to buy through your link. I was going to buy through the link but as luck would have it, my brother offered to sell me his old DJI Mavic Pro with case, extra batteries and such for $325, so it was a no brainer. Otherwise, people can try to use the Capital One addon app for Chrome or maybe the Amazon HONEY app to get some kind of discount.
Thanks for noticing, yes the original Mavic is still a great drone! Ill see it they have a new code
First time I use my drone it flew away and I had a hard time getting it home , any ideas what I did wrong thanks
that could be so many things, please follow a prestart cheacklist, it needs to be done even on $15k drones, Set Gyro, calibrate compas, make sure you have enough satilites, let me know if that helps.
@@b4ugo thank you for the help I will re-read the manual
Thanks for this video. Can you adjust the camera angle using the remote? Do you have a coupon code for this drone?
No, you can move it manually, even though it uses the same remote as the 700,710 and 720 that can…the dial is no on the top of the remote. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the fast response.
I'm going to assume the 179 is American. I just paid 276 for mine in Canada
Yes sir, aren’t these things a blast
I can't get mine to work😪 gonna try again today and if not I'm gonna have to return it
Would you have trouble flying this at night?
No, unless it pitch black, legally you would need a light visible from 3 miles and a waiver, but i think you would be fine in your backyard
Is that an android laptop? Where to buy ?
No, it was a APPLE IPAD, not a android guy
Le recommande tu ?
I love mine
Mine flew away 😩
Sorry to hear that, how many times had you flown it before?
