Title: Probably the best drone I have flown for the money
Review: 1-6-2020 Update – after about 8 more hours of flying time with this drone I am giving back the one star I deducted for phone holder placement as it just isn’t enough to detract from how solid a flyer this drone is.I purchased the HS720 drone during the pre-Christmas sales on Amazon as it looked like a great deal for a Mavic-esq style foldable GPS drone. It had all the basic features I expect in a GPS drone such as one button Return To Home (RTH), lost signal RTH, and low battery RTH. I have about 30 flights under this drone for about 12 hrs of total flight time day and night and I can tell you this thing does not miss a beat. Low wind, medium wind (8-10 mph gusts) and it holds position pretty rock steady. I am definitely impressed. One thing I can tell you is this drone is definitely the N00B friendliest drone I have ever flown, wish it was available when I first started.Breakdown of my thoughts on this drone:Packaging and ease of assembly – excellent packaging in the included case, and literally NO ASSEMBLY it’s basically ready to fly out of the box with the following steps:1) Open the box – It comes with Drone, Case, Dual USB-C charger (note it charges one battery at a time), screw driver, spare propellers, USB-C cable.2) Charge the battery and insert 2 AA batteries into the controller3) Download the Ophelia GPS app4) Obtain your FAA recreational drone license (at this time it is $5.00 for a 3 year license) and mark your drone with your FAA number in permanent ink or by permanent sticker.Once the battery is done charging you are ready to launch!Flight and battery time – From experience READ THE MANUAL and always follow the pre-flight steps below BEFORE EVERY flight!1) Pair the drone and controller2) Perform compass calibration3) Perform gyro calibration (both sticks down and left at the same time, see troubleshooting in the manual)4) Get 10+ satellites locked in before launch (takes about 1 min)Launching is simple after following the above steps, hit the unlock button and either left stick up or use one button take off and your flying. I have had this drone up to the factory ceiling of 116m (380 ft) every flight with zero issues except for the FPV. This is believe is 100% due to the placement of the phone holder being above the antenna which in my estimation is the drones ONLY drawback as it seems to interfere with the FPV or the controller. Note that this is not a huge issue since as recreational flyers you fly Line Of Sight unless you have a spotter BUT this is the reason for the drop from 5 to 4 stars. Holy Stone you need to employ a similar setup as other controllers you have with the phone at the bottom.In the Ophelia app you can employ the orbit point of interest function, fly a preset path, or follow me. All work well for a drone at this price point. One button RTH puts the drone either right on my drone pad or with a foot or two of the edge. A word of caution: when the drone hits the first battery warning (slow red flashing of the rear lights) bring her into a location with no obstructions as when the drone hits the second low battery warning you have NO CONTROL and it will hit any obstacles there may be in the way of it’s path home. This one is common sense so don’t push it.As for flight time I have gotten 23-26 minutes every flight from the 1st to the 30th with no change in flight time, I would however get a second battery now that they are available, plus with the battery you get a nice bag to utilize with them.Camera – the camera works as expected for a drone at this price point, it has nice video/still resolution and full motion up and down.Bottom line this is a great beginner drone that would be hard to lose short of human error and works better than expected at the price!

Title: Great value. Fun to fly
Review: Purchased about a month ago. Flown several times. Easy to bind and calibrate compass. GPS locks to 15-17 satellites in about 15 sec. Holds position very accurately. Video seem to freeze when flying at a distance of about 500 ft. Still photos good quality. Overall very satisfied. Slow speed mode very docile. High speed mode very managable. RTH work in both speed modes. Needs some type of legs when operating in grass.

Review: [Background] I bought this quad-copter drone to be able to visually inspect hard to reach places like my gutters and the back-side of my chimney. My houseâs height challenges my 35-foot extension ladder in some spots and the trees around here have grown so tall over 20 years that leaves in gutter is a problem.[Features / Performance] Iâm new to drones and the aerial inspections I want to do require some skill. So, I watched a lot of YouTube videos and realize some drones are very good at making up for inexperience. HS720 appeared to be one of those for a fraction of the cost. I started out practicing in open fields and parks to develop the reflex and hand coordination to make multi-axial maneuvers. When this drone locks on to at least 7 GPS satellites, it is amazing how stable it is even in mild winds (4-10 MPH). The flying modes of Point-to-Point Tap Fly, Follow-me and hover & rotate over Point of Interest, are very impressive. The return to home feature works quite well and is very intelligent as it accounts for remaining battery energy. I found one YouTube video demonstrating a Return-To-Home landing (Holystone HS720 GPS Camera Drone) where the drone literally landed exactly where it took off (see 9:20 minutes into the video). I tried this several times and the closest it came to the mat for me was within 3 feet (so Iâm not complaining at all). But it was a jaw dropping demo when I watched it.[Customer Service] The best part: I did have one issue with the drone after flying it 9-10 times (erratic behavior). It resulted in some physical problems with the craft. So, I picked up the phone right away and called Holy Stone US. BEST CUSTOMER CARE service ever! The rep. on the phone asked me some basic questions, verified my purchase. This was a non-routine problem and she had to defer to someone else in-house a couple of times while we were on the phone. She asked that I take and email to her photos of the craft and she waited for them to arrive in her email box (while we were on the phone). The âexpertsâ looked at the photos and gave me an immediate resolution; all in the same 15-minute phone call. This completely satisfied me (wowed my spouse in the process). Who does that anymore?[NOTE: Before Use] Do be sure to remove all the surface protective plastic âstickersâ. They are on the hand-held control screen, the frontal camera lens, one on each of the bottom LED lights and a donut shaped one lens on the imaging positioning camera on the bottom. This last one is important because this lens utilizes color contrast beneath the drone to gauge its horizontal stability/position when near the ground (I guess that means less than 2 meters above ground). Lastly, there is a foam pad that goes around the battery which comes inserted in the drone. You must remove this before the battery will insert fully into the drone. I did not find that step anywhere in the manual. If you manage to get the battery to connect with the foam insert in place. It will slip out (killing power if in flight).[Performance Against Purpose] I did get videos of my roof and gutters (See attached photo taken from video). I inserted a SanDisk 32GB HC I SD card. I doubt this is a Class 10 SD card which is what Holy Stone recommends. I donât know what âclassâ my memory card is, but looking at the video and video freeze frames, I was able to determine where along my gutters I do need to place the ladder to remove leaves. The drone took very clear video images from maybe 10-20 feet above the gutter line. A Class 10 SD card might be even better quality. However, this made me very happy. No attempt to inspect the back-side of chimney as I will have to fly âblindâ and rely on the altimeter and camera only. I suspect I will need to prove myself in a lot more flight tests before ready to try that.[Battery Life / Recharging] can drone on and on (pun) about how nice this craft is, but I am really not qualified enough to give a good technical critique yet. I will leave that to the YouTube demonstrators. I will say that what they claim about this vehicle has been true in my limited 5 days (about 9 flights) of use. I know the biggest complaint is the 5-7 hrs of charge time on the battery. Yup, its true. It is about 5-7 Hrs. I donât know about actual maximum flight time as Iâve not pushed it. As Iâm learning, I generally develop a flight plan consisting of a 4-6 maneuvers (wind stability, elevation stability when flying over objects, targeted video capture, etc) and then call it quits. Iâve flown this up to about 15 minutes. Those recharges required about 3-4 Hrs to complete.[Instruction Manual] These are more important that many people know. This one is written is clear English and there is a downloadable .pdf one available too. Read the manual several times. There are some nice fail-safe features, some behaviors that I would not have anticipated (like cruise altitudes for Return-To-Home), and cautions that make reading the manual valuable. Example: the drone will not avoid obstacles in its path when in Return-to-Home mode. I do highly recommend watching others on YouTube use this drone before flying it if you are new to drones. You have to be smart when flying and think ahead.
