Holy Stone HS360S GPS Drones With 4K UHD Camera For Adults,FAA,249g Quadcopter Drone,10000 Feet Video Transmission,Auto Return,Follow Me, Brushless Motor,Beginner Mode, Special Gradient Color Edition

I am a beginner with drones (I mainly fly RC aircraft), but I find this drone amazing. It takes about 1 minute to set up (insert the battery, connect the phone, and sync the GPS), with the GPS sync taking about half that time. From then on, it’s pure fun and enjoyment!The drone is very smooth to fly and is very stable. Fly it to a spot, hover, and it will stay there, even in a fair amount of breeze. I also like the fact that it has an adjustable ‘Fence’ that you can set. For example, if you are teaching someone to fly, you can limit the drone to 100’ from the remote, and the drone will stay in that zone. I also appreciate that it comes back to the landing zone when the battery is low, if communication is lost, or upon the press of a button. I have not yet been able to use its 10,000 feet range (that’s almost 2 miles) to keep it in my sight, but it has always maintained a very solid connection to the remote for control and for the video.I’ve read many things about the camera; however, I find that it takes beautiful pictures and great video. Yes, it’s not the high-quality video that you can use for promotional ads, but this is not a $10,000 drone. When you combine all the other features that come with the HS360S, this drone is a great value, and I would highly recommend it to anyone that loves to fly.

Having used the Holy Stone HS360 for over three months now, I can confidently say it's a solid investment for drone enthusiasts and filmmakers alike. As my second drone, I've found its build quality to be exceptional, with brushless motors providing remarkable stability and a whisper-quiet flight experience.One of the standout features of the HS360 is its GPS location system, which performs admirably, allowing for worry-free flights even over distances exceeding one kilometer. This reliability lends itself well to capturing expansive aerial shots with ease. Equipped with a 4K camera, the HS360 delivers impressive image quality within its price range. Whether I'm shooting real estate presentations or short cinematic clips, the footage consistently exceeds expectations, showcasing sharp details and vibrant colors.I'mOverall, the Holy Stone HS360 has proven itself as a dependable workhorse in my aerial filming endeavors. Its stability, silent operation, and impressive camera quality make it a standout choice for enthusiasts and professionals looking to elevate their drone videography game. Highly recommended.

Seems like it’s a quality item. Controls are easy. Video and picture quality is clear. Battery length is dependent on no wind to some wind. I average about 15 to 18 minutes a battery. I’m a beginner and it suits me just fine. Two batteries is a plus .

This my first ever drone. I'm writing this review after turning it on twice. I say turning it on because although I used it twice I don't really consider them uses. The first time I was a bit hesitant because it got dark by the time I was able to use it. But my anxiety to turn it on won over my fears. After a bit of fumbling around I was able to get it calibrated and the blades rotating. I like that once you press "Take Off" button it sits at a height that is not too high and not low and it just sits there without any inputs from the controller. I don't really think that you're flying this drone. Is more like positioning it. I mean once it's in the air you touch the controls, let them go and the drone stays there. You want to go higher? Just push the stick up until you reach your desired height and let go. Want to rotate? Push the stick in any direction and then let go once your facing the desired direction. The same with back/forth and side-to-side. Very, very simple. The drone just stays where you put it. Not flying, just positioning it.The FPV experienced zero glitches and the image was wonderful. I just want to mention that I forgot to remove the protective film on the camera lens when I recorded the two videos in this review. I'm nowhere close to considering myself a photographer but I feel the quality of the image is OK.The second time I turned it on (used it) was inside the house. Yes, my wife was not home at the time so I was in the clear. I could not get a GPS signal so I switched it to "Altitude Mode" so I believe it was using "Optical Flow" sensors to maintain position. It worked great and I was able to move it around the room with ease. This was early afternoon. Once the sunlight started really coming in it was causing heavy reflection on the floor so Optical Flow was having problems keeping the drone positioned while hovering. I was able control it while operating the controls but when I let go the controls the drone would lose control and not stay hovering in one place. It crashed a few times but nothing broke. Nothing on the drone nor anything in the room. This is why my limbs are working so that I may write this review. The only thing that happened is that a few props received very light damage.The only things I don't like are:1- The drone is not include in the comparison list on holystone.com. It lists the HS360 but not the HS360S.2- The props are not available on either holystone.com nor amazon.com3- holystone.com WhatsApp chat agent told me that the props for HS360S are not compatible with any other drone. Depending on the price this may be a very bad thing.4- Only one battery in the kit5- The batteries are too expensive.

It took the purchase of 3 cheaper drones for me to realize my flaw and start researching the Holy Stone company. After about 1 wk or research I settled on the Holy Stone HS360S.The simplicity of operations, lightning quick response from controller and overall flight time proved I made the right decision and should of purchased this months ago.From opening the box until drone was in the air took less then 5 minutes. The only skill that's required for operating this drone is being able to read. Amazing ability to hover in place without touching the controller.You simply download the app, connect the controller to the phone via a cable and it automatically connects to the HS app that is downloaded to your device- that simple. Download the app, connect the cable and your ready to fly.Within 45 seconds of operation I realized this drone has already surpassed the distance of all my previous drones and I might go as far as saying all the previous drones combined. Another surprise was discovering after 10 minutes of flight time that I still had over 80% battery life left. Here's the best part and what influenced me to write this review. I emailed the Holy Stone Company with general questions and comments, mainly just wanting to praise them and voice my compliments- not at all even expecting a response from them or maybe thinking I'd get a reply to my email a few days later, maybe a week later- I received a response less then 5 minutes later and it wasn't a auto generated response neither. This was a real person giving a real response to my email.I feel the need to mention- as kind of a disclaimer I guess- I am not a paid spokesman, I'm getting 0 compensation for this review and with that being said, I will be a lifetime supporter for this company as long as quality products like this are made..Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions and I will do my best to answer.
