Holy Stone HS700E 4K UHD Drone with EIS Anti Shake 130 FOV Camera for Adults, GPS Quadcopter with 5GHz FPV Transmission, Brushless Motor, Easy Auto Return Home, Follow Me and Outdoor Carrying Case

I was looking for a mid class drone to update my girls setup. After much research and videos, I pulled the trigger on this one. The price was in the low range of what I was looking for. I was not disappointed when I opened the package. The drone is sturdy, great landing gear, the quick connect mechanism for the props is very unique and secure. We set it up quickly, and after watching a few other videos on it, we decided to give it a go. The drone hovered in place very well! Just so cool to look at standing still in place! The camera takes great pictures and video, when maneuvered properly. I really dig how you can take straight down shots by adjusting the camera tilt. Even at night taking it for a spin, it captures awesome images. We’re still exploring the other features it has. Once we feel like we can start messing with those, we will and I’ll update review. Battery life is great. Thought drone came with 2 batteries, but it comes with one. Maybe i heard it came with two from a YouTube review or something. Either way, great battery life and the indicator lights on it are nice. It doesn’t fold in like other drones out there. I was not looking for that feature, which was another reason why I decided on it. Customer service is on top of things! I read a few reviews talking about it, and they weren’t lying. Have sent and received emails from customer service in a very timely manner. Something that is becoming rare these days, but very good business practice. Overall I feel this drone is a great purchase. Built solid. Flys and hovers solid. Resists some mild wind. Very cool and awesome looking. The lights are great as well. The customer service is what completes it. If you’re on the fence for this one, just do it. You won’t regret it!

I have only been flying a couple of months and wanted to step up from the hs 120 which is an excellent entry point ; not too expensive not to cheap. I wanted something more though as I was looking for better video quality and more stability when flying . As a beginner this was the perfect next step. The unit is solid and well made. The package came with a very nice case , two batteries, extra blades and nice owners manual. Easier to setup then the 120 as once you turn the drone on the wifi is picked up easily. Calibration was a snap with excellent lighting on the drone. I tested the return to home, follow me and circle me options and they all worked great. The video and photo quality of the 4k camera is very nice. As a beginner I am still working on not having jerky movements when adjusting the camera angles. Overall very happy with this drone. Would have been nice if you could fold the props because otherwise to put back in the case you have to remove them each time. Also even though the books are excellent it would be nice to have a quick start guide for us newbies. Step one turn on the drone , step 2 turn on the remote and what lights to look for at each step etc. . But that's just because I am new at this . I guess people that have been flying a while don't need that. One small thing Holy Stone should go ahead and include the batteries for the remote and a small sd card so its ready to use when you get it. Also, the drone batteries do take several hours to charge and you simply use the included usb cords. Be sure to check the amperage of your charger per the owners manual recommendations so as not to overcharge. Holy Stone customer service has a great reputation and is always there to help. Again very happy with the purchase and considering all you get in the package ; I feel its an overall very good value. Looking forward to much more flying. Oh by the way be sure and register as this is over the minimum weight.It's quick and easy and only $5 bucks for hobbyists. You only have to register once for all your drones. I think you will be very happy with this drone.

First flight didn’t go well. DO NOT TRY TO FLY ON YOUR STREET! I unknowingly got into trouble with interference from neighboring WiFi and electro magnetic currents. Crashed on neighbor’s roof as a result. Second time out went to a wide open space, and the drone performed flawlessly. Super easy to control, excellent response, great photos and video. My only gripe is this bird is kinda slow, even in Mode 2. Overall this is a great drone for beginners at a very reasonable price. And Holy Stone customer care is awesome. Very responsive and they want to make sure the experience is as expected.
