I have watched countless reviews about the HS175D and by far your presentation and informative review was the best I have seen. I like that you are straightforward and keep the video moving without stumbling over your words or repeating yourself. I learned more from your review than all the others combined. I feel more confident now about taking my drone out for the initial flight. Keep up the good work!
Got mine two days ago after seeing your video (my first "real" drone). Took her out for a low slow test flight in the back yard today. I love this thing. You are absolutely right about the location and design of the camera protecting it. I had two "minor" crashes and zero damage. Thanks for this video! You really helped my selection process. (Thanks for the promo code as well!)
Thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed video. I've never owned a drone before but your thorough review has convinced me to buy this one. I appreciate you made it simple even for a beginner. Well done!
I loved this straight to the point review. Because of this I ordered this model drone for the reasons you mentioned, it's only to mess about with and I am more value for money over status or brand status. Thank you so much, It arrived yesterday and once everything was charged and I watched the demo you gave several times then I went to a secluded area and successfully flew for the 1st time. I only nearly hit myself twice so I call that a good run . It is great value for what I paid ( £166 UK ). I have liked and subscribed. thanks again
I just purchased this drone in march 2024, for my daughter with her allowance she's saved up. Amazon sale of $145 minus a $30 coupon minus you promo code in the description for 10% brought the total down to $107! Should be here tomorrow. I'll report back after first flight! Thanks for the reviews on affordable drones!
Excellent review of the hs 175D. Professional, informative, and useful. You inspired me to order one on Amazon and it's due this Friday! Discounts brought it down to $149.99 + tax. I was considering starting out with a DJI Mini 2 combo but the additional $450 didn't seem worth it for my "first" drone. I'll post more when I learn to fly it. Thanks again!
Hey there, great video. I already have a 175D, and this helped me understand what it could do. Amazing company as well. Before I watched this video I didn't really understand what GPS did for the drone, and now I get that it helps the drone recorrect its position in the air when it might drift.
I watched so many videos and read so many things trying to find a good explanation of how to operate this drone.... this is the very best man! Thank you very much. Awesome job! Going out to fly now!
Just got one for Christmas. What a blast. Ive watched several videos on drones. You by far have the best vid. You speak clearly, your audio is clear, you go over all the details in clear concise descriptions. I look forward to watching more of your work. Thank you...
Thank you for making such informative videos… I started flying drones about 3 years ago, beginning with a couple different drones from Propel RC which did not have altitude hold. I actually stopped flying drones for a while until stumbling across your video on the hs210. Almost immediately after seeing the video I purchased the 210. Then I watched the video on the hs175, and then this one.. and guess what happened… I bought a 175d!!! 😄😄😆
This will be my first brushless drone I got into the hobby kept trading top quality rc cars for witch were brushless to find out all mine are brushed really helped how u explained everything was so wonderful I’m so happy I’ve just went an paid for one since now I’m in the hobby hopefully I’ll be like you one day and have DJIs and more Holy Stones this really made my day thanks😊
This video was absolutely perfect, exactly what I was looking for! I'm new to drones and have just acquired the HS175D. I was looking for something to tell me what I needed to know in order to get started and this video was just that. It's obvious that you're extremely knowledgeable. I've subscribed to help keep up with things as I begin this new hobby!
As a dji owner I was ready to hate this but watching your video I would be happy to mention this to someone who wants a cheap first starter drone. Thanks
I just bought the HS175D last week. I haven’t put it in the air yet but I hope to later this week. Thanks for your video! Very informative and encouraging.
Got mine for Christmas. Its my first drone actually. Now I use to fly model RC airplanes so fly this is so easy. I wasn't familiar with the brand but got lucky I suppose. I hope the offer one with at least image stabilization and a smoother servo for the camera. I'm super pleased with it.
That’s awesome Rob, I need to update the video, but it’s still the best deal out there for a GPS Drone with brushless motors. Thanks for watching, Fly Safe
I just got mine today at 4pm and only used it for short time. Looking at different videos, your is by far the best A++. Love this little thing and can't wait to go out in a open area.. tnx!!
Awesome video! Believe it or not, I purchased mine two days ago, and I was pleasantly surprised to see your video on my feed. Very informative and it will help a lot when I take it out this Saturday. Thanks again! 😀
Damn, i ordered it on amazon 3 days ago and its really good. The camera is just a bit sensitive to light but everything else is just great. Recommended for beginners.
I give you credit for a very informative video, with great instructions for people that can’t get into the DJI/Autel world. I had nothing but disconnects, dissatisfaction, frustration. Returned to Amazon. Bought my first DJI M2, and now have an assortment of DJI/Autel birds.
@@b4ugo It was a update for the app as of yesterday and when I updated it problem started happening Having problems with my drone I don't know what's wrong with it it was doing good as of yesterday it created a problem on the app it will only go a certain distance now and then it automatically returns back home I've had it off of beginner mode ever since the first day I bought it because I'm not an amateur flyer and it was going pretty far out but now it will only hit 200mm out then it will automatically return home
Great review. Thank you. I got one for Father's day and your video helped me a ton setting it up and enjoying it. It's my first drone and it is pretty user friendly
Thanks for the video. Just picked up a never-used HS175D at a flea market today for $100. I've never had a drone before. I have lots of homework to do before even turning anything on.
What a great video. I’ve watched so many of yours, and have really been struggling on which real drone to get as my second drone ever. I finally ponied up and ordered this one. It will be here tomorrow. Now I just need some nicer weather, and it’s time to fly. I really am going to heed your words and do a pre-flight checklist before every flight. Looking forward to becoming a good pilot like yourself. Again, thanks so much for all the great videos and knowledge that you share.
Glad it was helpful! thanks for wathcing Byron, yes, most complaints from forums are people who dont follow a check list, even on expensive drones you have to so the same. Ill make a video about it soon!
I personally prefer the cheaper drones. It doesn’t sting as bad when you run it into the side of a house or lose it in a tree then a $800 drone would. Not that I would ever do any of those things.
Jan 3rd 24 watched this after I got this 175D for Xmas. Thank you so much for your video. I can't wait to fly it. I'm a 1st timer so this video was very helpful.
Great presentation video I wish I had watched this before, I got mine about a week ago but got a little too excited I was able to put up in the air ok, except I got it tangled up in a tree, damaged all the blades. Luckily it didn't get tangled up in the branches. Learn and live!
Awesome video. Thank you, I'm a 1st timer and just got the 175d for xmas. I can't wait to take it for a spin and your video was needed to get informed, I plan to watch it several times.
Really appreciate your reviews. I find you cover a lot of important content compared to others and I get a good idea of the drones and their capabilities. Thanks to your video on the HS175D I decided on this model as my first real drone. Got it on Amazon for $161 + taxes (was on a lightening deal so promo code did not work, I am guessing). No complaints considering the upgrades to the HS175 which I was already looking at. I have a Eachine E010 (small baby drone) for some years now but I have probably flown it maybe 10 times. Those small drones are tricky to fly and just don't have the battery life (8 mins maybe) to put in the time to become proficient. Looking forward for when I get my order. Thank you.
I am new. To drone flying and have just purchased the hs175 d. So I’m only just learning the controls. The help video you have put on is very informative to new flyers so thankyou for the help you pass on.
PRETTY GOOD REVIEW HONEST. YEAH I JUST BOUGHT THIS ONE DID ALOT OF RESEARCH I JUST NEEDED ONE FOR A FEW MINUTES A DAY YOUR REVIEW HELPED PRETTY GOOD PRICE RANGE TOO. CANT WAIT TO START.
I have one. It's not bad. It hovers very well. If its not windy I can basically park it in one spot in the sky and it will stay hovering in that spot. Pretty good for getting relatively stable footage. One problem I do have is that outside on my property I can't get a stable GPS connection. Sometimes I get no GPS and other times it will lock on to GPS but only for a few moments. My yard is small and right near the house and other surrounding buildings not far away so that may be preventing it from seeing the sattelites. I flew it up at my brothers and he has a much more wide open yard and I got a stable GPS connection. I'll have to take it to more locations and try it.
Yes, also sometimes people try to calibrate it next to metal and that messes with it also, thanks so much for sharing! This is true for all drones at any price
3 years later but great review! Hope you’re doing well. Just got this for my son and helping him with setup etc. Yeah the brushless motors and 4K and the nice case sold me $140 on Amazon June 24. Gave you a Sub!
Awesome, be sure and make a pre-start checklist. Even $10,000 drones have to go through these things, i read about flyaways but I have never had a problem. Except once when I changed a battery and forgot to go through everything again. I cut some pretty good cuts but catching the thing mid air as it was toilet bowling because I skipped everything. Happy Holidays!
I'm going to get that drone, I'm pretty old late 60's and maybe not so pretty, and I've never had a drone before but after checking your video I've just gotta have it. It seems ok for beginners and you explained the brushless motor very well. I have a small bit of experience with that motor in that I found out about them when I was looking into getting a good drill set. Ok thank you so much, I haven't a clue but let's go for it before my legs give out!!!
Informative and nicely done, James! The comparison between the previous version (HS175) and this new version (HS175D) is good information. It appears Holy Stone is reviewing their line of drones and upgrading certain models (HS700D --> HS700E and now the HS175 --> HS175D). Very nice Gladiator, too. ✌ (the closest emoji to the Jeep Wave)
Great video, very helpful. Just purchased it, not the newest of models available, but my first drone and this one looks the toughest. Like you said in the video, the camera isn't so exposed on this one. 👍
I really appreciate all of your videos and reviews on the Holy Stone drones along with all of the others as well ! Keep up the great work !!! John Farrara in Sonora, CA
Very informative and comprehensive vid! I just purchased this 175D and can’t wait to start flying it after watching your demonstration. Thanks from your new subscriber! 😎
They have a lot to offer for the money! Its fun seeing what you can get out of them for 20% off the cost, they definitely have their place in the market
I'm waiting on this drone to arrive in a day or two so thank you for an excellent video. But to be honest, the sheer beauty of your home and property made it hard for me to look at the drone exclusively 🌳. Just beautiful!
Thanks so much, I should do a video of what it looked like when I bought it, it looked condemned! It was hidden by a 100 tree’s. Ben Hogan only designed one golf course, and its this one!
I just got one myself. Got it flying, flys decent. I did the return to home button and it flew up about 50 feet and hovered. Not sure what I did wrong. But still, overall I like it so far.
@@babycaliba Good, but since the weather wasn’t nice for some time (winter) I couldn’t fly it, but because im a rookie it crashed. One thing to note is it went out of its boundary that was set, and it wasn’t always returning when I clicked return. But the wind was strong that day too.
Thanks for sharing, I’ve only flown DJI. It works for what I need so I never ventured to another brand but thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks, of course DJI is the best drones, that’s why they have 74% of the market. Sometimes it’s fun to see how much we can get out of budget drones. With out these DJI could even charge more.
@@b4ugo Wrong. Without these, DJI WOULD charge more. They're not exactly aggressive with their pricing until they HAVE to get aggressive with their pricing.
@@TTime685 Replied to the original post, net the second. Obviously (at least to most), his additional second post wasn't posted when I made my post. Christ. Use your brain for a moment. First post, no such words on DJI price. Second post, there's talk of price. Third post, there's a duplicate talk of price. Hmmm. I...wonder...if...the...guy...in...the...third...post....saw...the second or if...as it looks...like...they posted....at about....the same time. There...nice and slow. Geeze. That darn logic! Internet is full of people without though.
I got mine today. First time flying a drone. I was doing fine until I realized the left control stick will rotate the drone. It was staring at me and I was staring at it. Then it went 100 feet to the left. Because I was pressing right. It smacked into the chain-link fence. And for some reason the motors kept spinning. Operator error I found out. I ran over to get it and my pants ripped at the crotch all the way to my knee. Going to need an economy size bag of those propellers. And some new Levis. 10/10 would drone again.
@@txarchdroneguy4731 Everybody needs at least two. A low end, fun one to do flips and tricks with and then either one of their mids at 160ish dollars or a 700E/720E(foldable). The 700E image stabilization has really stepped up the quality of the video/pictures over the 700D. The 720E is nice and portable and fits in a deep pocket on some nice camo shorts. Drone in right bottom pocket or the carrying case, batteries and controller in left pocket or case.
I am looking into getting my self an affordable drone and didn’t really know which one to go for and this one looks perfect because of your video content thank you
Just got one sent to me for a review,glad I watched your video,subbed you,will be doing my review in a couple of days. Have a DJI phantom 3 and a mix 2 with mods I did to them,flew both almost 2miles out and still had full single with mods,got scared that far out,hit the return home button. Will be looking out for more of your videos.
I just found your channel. Wish I had seen your discount code before it expired. Great video. Subscribed. Edit: Wanted to add these are 131 bucks shipped right now brand new in the holy stone direct ebay store. Selling pretty fast. Can't wait for mine to get here.
I was able to get the FCC test reports for Holy Stone and Deerc that include photos of the internals of the controller and the quad drone. On the HS175D the fold out "stick antenna" is just for looks, the antenna's are internal. Still a good drone, though.
I really think that one has a wire in it and the other one is fake, I just reviewed the HS510 today, Wow, i really like that a drone and its the same price, really reminds me of DJI Spark
@@b4ugo Thanks for your great video's and I saw the HS510 review last night. Concerning the HS175D the photos show two wires, both connected to the circuit board. There are no connections to the "stick" antenna. In looking over several of the Holy Stone and Deerc internals from the FCC site it appears that a lot of the "external" antenna's are for show only.
Glad it was helpful Rashiya, cant believe its been 2 years since the drone came out and its still at the top of the list for best value for a first drone.
Planning to get into drone flyovers at golf courses and looks like you live on one! Great review. This drone might do the trick for decent footage at par threes.

I have watched countless reviews about the HS175D and by far your presentation and informative review was the best I have seen. I like that you are straightforward and keep the video moving without stumbling over your words or repeating yourself. I learned more from your review than all the others combined. I feel more confident now about taking my drone out for the initial flight. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Tom, Sometimes I think I make them to long but comments like this let me know its better to be thorough!
@@b4ugo I could use a manual
If this video doesn't get me a manual this latest Chinese flying turd is on the next slo boat.
Got mine two days ago after seeing your video (my first "real" drone). Took her out for a low slow test flight in the back yard today. I love this thing. You are absolutely right about the location and design of the camera protecting it. I had two "minor" crashes and zero damage. Thanks for this video! You really helped my selection process. (Thanks for the promo code as well!)
Thanks, that means a lot!
I like how you describe things from a beginners perspective. It makes me feel comfortable.
Thanks so much Dennis!
I just also learned the difference between brushed, and brush less. Thks a million for that.
Thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed video. I've never owned a drone before but your thorough review has convinced me to buy this one. I appreciate you made it simple even for a beginner. Well done!
Thanks so much David, this was a year ago when I was just getting started, it been a fun ride, let me know if I can help in any way!
I loved this straight to the point review.
Because of this I ordered this model drone for the reasons you mentioned, it's only to mess about with and I am more value for money over status or brand status.
Thank you so much, It arrived yesterday and once everything was charged and I watched the demo you gave several times then I went to a secluded area and successfully flew for the 1st time. I only nearly hit myself twice so I call that a good run .
It is great value for what I paid ( £166 UK ).
I have liked and subscribed.
thanks again
I just purchased this drone in march 2024, for my daughter with her allowance she's saved up. Amazon sale of $145 minus a $30 coupon minus you promo code in the description for 10% brought the total down to $107! Should be here tomorrow. I'll report back after first flight! Thanks for the reviews on affordable drones!
Excellent review of the hs 175D. Professional, informative, and useful. You inspired me to order one on Amazon and it's due this Friday! Discounts brought it down to $149.99 + tax. I was considering starting out with a DJI Mini 2 combo but the additional $450 didn't seem worth it for my "first" drone. I'll post more when I learn to fly it. Thanks again!

Holy Stone! NY here. Thank you for all the great content!!
Thanks so much! I’m learning
Glad i found your channel, both you and Kathy are awesome, fun and funny, thanks for making these vids for us, very helpful and cant wait to see more!
Thanks so much! Slammed at work right now but all kinds of video’s coming soon
I love the video everything was great show me a lot of things that I didn't know I really appreciate it I will be looking at you again
Thanks so much for watching Avery!
Informative and nicely done, James! The comparison between the previous version (HS175) and this new version (HS175D) is good information. It appears Holy Stone is reviewing their line of drones and upgrading certain models (HS700D --> HS700E and now the HS175 --> HS175D). Very nice Gladiator, too. ✌ (the closest emoji to the Jeep Wave)
Thanks! Yes its a it improvement for just. $30 more. Yes, I love the Gladiator more than I thought I would

This, my friend, was an excellent in-depth review. Great instructional presentation and some very good videos. Thank you, Sir.
Thanks so much Lee! I really appreciate it!
Great video, very helpful.
Just purchased it, not the newest of models available, but my first drone and this one looks the toughest. Like you said in the video, the camera isn't so exposed on this one. 👍
Loved this. Thank you for sharing. I just purchased this one. I'm excited!
Be sure and let me know what you think!
Super informative !!! Just bought this for some video content .. just starting & this is perfect for us..
Thank you !!
Awesome! Thanks Scrap!
I’m expecting this one tommorow to come, thanks for the video, it was really helpful.
Thanks so much! Let me know how you like it!
I really appreciate all of your videos and reviews on the Holy Stone drones along with all of the others as well ! Keep up the great work !!! John Farrara in Sonora, CA
Thanks so Much John and Good Luck
Love your videos. Nice job man!
Very informative and comprehensive vid! I just purchased this 175D and can’t wait to start flying it after watching your demonstration. Thanks from your new subscriber! 😎
Thanks Ron, be sure and let me know how you like it!
@@b4ugo Will do!
Holy Stone is slowly but surely becoming a premium drone
They have a lot to offer for the money! Its fun seeing what you can get out of them for 20% off the cost, they definitely have their place in the market
Your channel should really fly (pardon the pun). Your videos are clear, precise, informative and entertaining. Great job!
Thanks so much sir! That really means a lot!
Thank You and Merry Christmas
Just ordered that drone thank you for the info very thorough
Very thorough and comprehensive review.... thx much!
Thanks so much K!
Great video!! Looking to purchase a drone for my wife for Christmas. This video definitely helped me with my choice!!!
Thanks Robert!
I'm waiting on this drone to arrive in a day or two so thank you for an excellent video. But to be honest, the sheer beauty of your home and property made it hard for me to look at the drone exclusively 🌳. Just beautiful!
Thanks so much, I should do a video of what it looked like when I bought it, it looked condemned! It was hidden by a 100 tree’s. Ben Hogan only designed one golf course, and its this one!
I just got one myself. Got it flying, flys decent. I did the return to home button and it flew up about 50 feet and hovered. Not sure what I did wrong. But still, overall I like it so far.
I just got this drone from Amazon. Weather is looking nice tomorrow, can't wait to use it for the first time.
Still hear GPS Brushless motor Drone on Amazon. fly safe
How was the drone?
@@babycaliba Good, but since the weather wasn’t nice for some time (winter) I couldn’t fly it, but because im a rookie it crashed. One thing to note is it went out of its boundary that was set, and it wasn’t always returning when I clicked return. But the wind was strong that day too.
@@PakistaniNationalist4186 is it good for watching it from the phone while flying it?
@@babycaliba Yes, the camera quality is clear too.
Thanks for sharing, I’ve only flown DJI. It works for what I need so I never ventured to another brand but thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks, of course DJI is the best drones, that’s why they have 74% of the market. Sometimes it’s fun to see how much we can get out of budget drones. With out these DJI could even charge more.
@@b4ugo Wrong. Without these, DJI WOULD charge more. They're not exactly aggressive with their pricing until they HAVE to get aggressive with their pricing.
@@LoociferZ That's basically what he said, dum dum
@@TTime685 Replied to the original post, net the second. Obviously (at least to most), his additional second post wasn't posted when I made my post.
Christ. Use your brain for a moment. First post, no such words on DJI price. Second post, there's talk of price. Third post, there's a duplicate talk of price.
Hmmm. I...wonder...if...the...guy...in...the...third...post....saw...the second or if...as it looks...like...they posted....at about....the same time. There...nice and slow.
Geeze. That darn logic! Internet is full of people without though.
@@LoociferZ Yikes. Get some help
Thank you, I think this will be my next drone. Good review. Eric Gilmore Cave Junction Oregon
Thanks so much and good luck!
great video. your voice is quite relaxing. Just ordered one for myself. cheers!!
Thanks So much Andy, Merry Christmas!
Glad I saw this video I ordered mine today thanks for the great video
Be sure and let me know how you like it.
I got mine today. First time flying a drone. I was doing fine until I realized the left control stick will rotate the drone. It was staring at me and I was staring at it. Then it went 100 feet to the left. Because I was pressing right. It smacked into the chain-link fence. And for some reason the motors kept spinning. Operator error I found out. I ran over to get it and my pants ripped at the crotch all the way to my knee. Going to need an economy size bag of those propellers. And some new Levis. 10/10 would drone again.
Lol, great story, buy a mini drone and learn the orientation, will make it much easier, have fun and be safe!
Very professional review, everything I would have asked you answered going out to the mall now to buy one, its play time for the boys haha 😅😎
Tony, be sure and let me know how you like it!
These little toy grade Quads are pretty fun to fly! Great job! 👍
Thanks Matt!
Howdy, Matt, do you have any Holy Stone Drones?
@@txarchdroneguy4731 Everybody needs at least two. A low end, fun one to do flips and tricks with and then either one of their mids at 160ish dollars or a 700E/720E(foldable). The 700E image stabilization has really stepped up the quality of the video/pictures over the 700D. The 720E is nice and portable and fits in a deep pocket on some nice camo shorts. Drone in right bottom pocket or the carrying case, batteries and controller in left pocket or case.
Excellent video bud, I really connected with the HS340 👍
I am looking into getting my self an affordable drone and didn’t really know which one to go for and this one looks perfect because of your video content thank you
Thanks so much Mr Gaming!
Just got one sent to me for a review,glad I watched your video,subbed you,will be doing my review in a couple of days. Have a DJI phantom 3 and a mix 2 with mods I did to them,flew both almost 2miles out and still had full single with mods,got scared that far out,hit the return home button. Will be looking out for more of your videos.
Thanks so much! Where you from?
Nice camera. Love the Lake shots. Pretty darn good for the price that's for sure. 💯 Oh yeah jeep looks good! Lol
Thanks Buddy, Let;s have lunch soon!
OMG your code still works i got it for $134 TOTAL with a $30 coupon and 10% off
I just found your channel. Wish I had seen your discount code before it expired. Great video. Subscribed. Edit: Wanted to add these are 131 bucks shipped right now brand new in the holy stone direct ebay store. Selling pretty fast. Can't wait for mine to get here.
Thanks so much, guess I need to take it down!
I'm looking to buy a drone to follow me on the golf course and it appears you live on one! This was just what I needed to see thank you 😎👍🏽
I am a golfer! Love it and hate it, lol. Club championship was last week, i started out triple/double but still shot a 38 on the front!
Great video Man appreciate the effort that you’re putting on every video.
Thanks so much, I really enjoy making them!
I love your videos You helped me to choose this drone for me. Greatings from México
Thanks so much Lizzy, be sure and let me know how you like it.
I was able to get the FCC test reports for Holy Stone and Deerc that include photos of the internals of the controller and the quad drone. On the HS175D the fold out "stick antenna" is just for looks, the antenna's are internal. Still a good drone, though.
I really think that one has a wire in it and the other one is fake, I just reviewed the HS510 today, Wow, i really like that a drone and its the same price, really reminds me of DJI Spark
@@b4ugo Thanks for your great video's and I saw the HS510 review last night. Concerning the HS175D the photos show two wires, both connected to the circuit board. There are no connections to the "stick" antenna. In looking over several of the Holy Stone and Deerc internals from the FCC site it appears that a lot of the "external" antenna's are for show only.
thanks for the video it really helped me out and made my mind up since watching this video i have just bought one 😀
Great to hear! Thanks Tyler! Be sure and let us know how you like it!
@b4ugo I will do it should arrive tomorrow
awesome review..a lot of info i was a beginner looking to buy a drone for the 1st time and your video is very helpful..Tq
Thanks so much Alana! Glad you liked it, where are you from?
Great video for someone like me that would like to have a small drone. .
by far the best video out there.
Great review! Considering a holy stone now for sure! Holy Stone! Coachella,CA Lorenzo V.
Thanks and good luck tonight Alfa
that's very helpful, thanks
Glad it was helpful Rashiya, cant believe its been 2 years since the drone came out and its still at the top of the list for best value for a first drone.
I really enjoyed your video as I am a beginner it was very informative. Thanks
I just received mine today after seeing this and I can't wait to try it out! I like the color also it looks stealth, good times ahead.
Let me know ho you like it!
Planning to get into drone flyovers at golf courses and looks like you live on one! Great review. This drone might do the trick for decent footage at par threes.
