Holy Stone HS720G 2-Axis Gimbal Drones with 4K EIS Camera, 2 Batteries 52-Min Flight Time, Brushless Motors, GPS Auto Return, Video Transmission, Mini Foldable Drone for Beginners Adults

Outstanding Drone !!! Very easy to operate and the learning period is a quick one. Camera quality for such a well priced drone is exceptionally good. Capturing great photos and videos is a snap. It does have the GPS function so this drone is an excellent choice for beginners.

This thing works great. It is my 1st drone and it is very easy to use and durable. I have flown it several times and it links easily to my phone and takes ok pictures and video. The reason I say its durable is because I have crashed it into small trees on occasion and it has survived without damage. Love the auto take off feature.

I got my drone a few days ago. I took the time to read every bit of the documentation and watch some videos before I attempted to fly it. I've had a drone before, so had a pretty good basic understanding. The drone and controls seemed to be pretty good quality and the app was well laid-out and intuitive for the most part. A few sections were cleared up by watching a video or reading further. Overall, it seems to work well. The one annoyance that I saw was that the drone drifts when it should be hovering in place - quite a bit. So, if you a novice and get too close to an obstacle, the drone may drift right into that obstacle, even when you are 10 feet away. Also, if you try and make a quick correction one way or the other, when the drone attempts to go back into a hover again, it sometimes over corrects and actually ends up drifting close to the object you were attempting to move away from in the first place. I would say, this drone should really only be used in wide open spaces where obstacle avoidance is not an issue. UPDATE: Now that I have had a week or so to test and play with the drone, other than not being suitable for tight locations, the drone works great. I love the GPS mode where you draw points on the map and the drone executes the plan perfectly. Make sure you are high enough to avoid trees since there is no obstacle avoidance. The circle function where the drone flys around a spot works, as does the follow me function. I plan on bringing the drone with and using it during my 5,000 mile motorcycle trip through the mountains. The range is not great, but the drone always comes back to the launch point when it loses connection. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase for the money. Camera quality looks fine - nothing awe inspiring, but good enough for a little vacation highlight video.

As someone who has been flying drones since the first DJI phantom, I could tell right away this one is not very good. I just wanted something in the 100$range to get me some wide shots on my travels. The Holystone HS720G is cheap, and you get what you pay for: Pro: Very low initial price Con: Cheap feel, fragile parts, and poor flight control that I can only label as "unsafe" If you’re looking for a budget drone with basic features, look past the Holystone HS720G. It’s inexpensive and comes with GPS and a 4K-capable camera — sounds great for the price. But in real-world use, several significant drawbacks severely limit its value. So unless you're planning to crash-test it or fly it into a volcano- just expect to be disappointed. ****Unpredictable Flight Behavior********* (unsafe) First flight, wide open, huge 2 acre parking lot, went up and within 5 seconds it had zero predictability. It just runs off. This is where the HS720G really disappoints. The drone struggles to hold position- it just drifts off and turns erratically which can cause serious harm to property or people - I narrowly avoided a catastrophic landing, the thing just isn't safe, and landed upside down. Looks cool, ok- the design and the case are cool - but feels cheap in your hands- it's fragile. Right from unboxing, the HS720G feels like a toy rather than a proper aerial camera platform: Plastic components feel brittle and lack the solid construction you expect even at lower price points. Folding arms and battery latches seem especially fragile...not confidence-inspiring for repeated travel or rough terrain. Fragile Parts = Frequent Worries Several components on the HS720G show weakness under minimal stress: Motor housings and prop guards are lightweight and bend easily. The camera mount can shift with minor jolts, leading to shaky footage. Screws are small and can loosen quickly... not ideal if you’re flying regularly. This is the kind of drone where you might find yourself replacing parts or reinforcing joints more often than flying. Camera Performance Isn’t Worth the Hassle Although marketed with a 4K camera, the footage quality rarely lives up to that expectation unless the lighting is perfect. Footage often looks shaky even on calm days due to unstable flight. Colors and detail don’t compete with better drones in the same price category. Gimbal stabilization is mediocre at best. If your goal is a reliable, stable, and durable flying camera, this is not the droid you're looking for.. It might serve as a fun budget toy around the backyard, that's about it. Returning this junk and getting a serious DJI model instead. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

First off this is a nice sized drone not big and still under the FAA requirements to be registered. Functionally this drone is very easy to operate.video quality is good. At the first glance you can tell this is a good quality product.. comes in a very nice case and easy for the beginner to learn. This being my second drone and I am not an experienced flyer but was able to get up and going quickly. As far as range I have not pushed the limits but seems to be quite good. The only thing I might have liked to seen is a rechargeable controller as this requires 2 AA Batteries for the controller which has a nice led screen to show power of both the drone and controller as well as distance and height of where your drone is at. I would highly recommend this as a good starter trainer for someone looking to get into Ariel video photography. I had it out and flying with wind gust up to 15 mph. Can this drone appeared to be fairly stable even in this type of condition. The auto return home function was extremely nice, especially under these conditions. Looking forward to spending more time with this drone And learning more about his capacity and hopefully capture some really good video images. Having the Auto return for loss of signal or low battery is nice to ensure that you don’t lose your drone as I had said I would recommend this drone for beginners and intermediate drone flyers but as I get used to it, maybe I will find the ability to lie and quality of videos That this thing will capture to be good enough to produce some professional quality videos
