Holy Stone HS360E GPS Drone with 4K EIS Camera, 6KM Image Transmission, 1200W Sensor, 30 Mins Flight Time, Foldable RC Quadcopter with Follow Me, Auto Return, 249g Lightweight Camera Drone for Adults

I ordered the Holy Stone HS360S and flew it today for the first time. Honestly, I’m very impressed. This drone is on a completely different level compared to a cheaper £80 drone I owned before. The difference is night and day. What I really like: It holds its position perfectly thanks to GPS no drifting, no random flying away Very responsive and predictable controls, feels fully under control Wind resistance is surprisingly good for its size Video quality is excellent for the price, much better than expected Stable flight makes it enjoyable, not stressful I flew it together with my son and we both had an amazing time. Instead of constantly correcting the drone, you can actually enjoy flying and filming, which makes a huge difference. This feels like a proper GPS drone, not a toy. For the price, it’s an excellent choice and I’m really happy with the purchase. Highly recommended for beginners and family use.

This is very perfect and on time as well, with Amazon you wouldn't be disappointed that the big NO...

I took the drone out for a test drive today to see how it performs. It was a little windy today, some 8km/hr breezes. I think I am going to have to wait for an absolutely calm day before really being able to see what I can manage to shoot with this drone. Absolutely nothing I shot today was usable. That could be down to needing more practice in piloting the drone; time will tell. This is not the “E” version of the 720 but that would not have helped in any case. The drone was drifting all over the place and the video was never stable at any point. This is day one. As mentioned, I will spend more time practicing piloting the drone and wait for an absolutely calm day (perhaps next summer) before making a final opinion on this purchase. I would not recommend this as a beginner drone, unless perhaps you can use it in a large, open space when any drifting would not be an issue.

Brilliant drone, still getting used to it, but on the first few flights, the images and video are top quality. I will update in a few weeks when I've taken it out some more. Setting up was easy, as easy as 1 2 3

Looks nice, but the instructions are clunky, unable to get it out of GPS mode, anytime you press the button for two seconds the controller goes off. The connection takes forever. It connects on the controller but does not connect on the phone, The controller goes off when you click non power buttons, only way to connect to the app is via the controller, so the phone drains the battery of the controller. Very difficult to setup, not user friendly at all. Poor setup design and battery of the controller appears to drain but when you put it back up says there is battery, then goes to zero... It's just a terrible product for the price... Needs to be more intuitive and it is not.

Doesn't fly well even in a light breeze camera quality not great but would be good for someone starting up with a drone to fly at low heights in fair weather.

This is the second drone I have purchased from Amazon and I must say it's so much better than the first one. When I received my first drone I thought it was pretty good until I received this one and realized what I had been missing. This drone is extremely easy to set up and more importantly to fly, the app works flawlessly allowing you to view a live stream and take pictures and video at the click of a button on the remote control. It's so easy to fly because basically the drone does all the hard work for you, if you take your hands off the controls it will stay exactly where it is, utilizing GPS it will also follow you and it will also return to it's take off location should you tell it to again by the touch of a button. It will also return to its take off location if it loses signal or the battery is low. Speaking of the battery it really is very impressive, I had 23 minutes flying time which I consider excellent. Overall a great drone at a great price, I would definitely recommend this drone to anyone thinking of purchasing one, I doubt you could get anything better at this price. Very happy!

This Drone does what it says on the box, great value for money, easy to fly, and great build quality and battery life.

For the price, this drone is excellent. Pros -Easy to fly. -Stable. -Decent quality video. -Nice travel case. -Roughly 300-400' FPV of range using a Samsung tablet (pro tip, disable other wifi networks. If they are left on and it fly's out of range the tablet/phone will switch back to the houses wifi). -The GPS waypoints work great. Seem to be limited to 5. -Very responsive support. Had an issue with vegetation appearing red due to a missing filter in the camera. Fast and courteous support that quickly resolved the problem. -Very good value for the price. Cons are really things that require a more expensive drone. A much more expensive. -Motor kill switch has to be held for several seconds before stopping the blades. Seems like a lifetime while the drone beats itself to death. -Landings can be tricky, you either want to land on pavement, or if landing on grass you need to hold the kill button as it descends into the grass. Landing on large tables are tricky, I would recommend against trying. -Seems to be limited to 5 GPS way points. Always make sure the last point is close so you can get the drone back. You can set a path that goes out of range of the remote. The remote seems to be good out to between 300 and 400'. -The app is a bit awkward, but it is good enough for the price. Works really well using an android tablet. Would recommend a tablet with a music stand over a phone. -If you point the camera at the sky, the ground appears dark.

Wow! Let’s start with the disclaimer—I’ve never flown a drone but I do have fairly extensive experience flying RC aircraft (both fixed wing and helicopters). So maybe not a complete beginner/novice. However this drone is an absolute dream to fly. Highly stable and very forgiving. I love the features that make it so much more relaxing to operate. I do have a couple negatives that are nuisances mostly. First, connecting the drone to my phone via WiFi was not easy and seems to be very sequence dependent. The manual is not the best for accomplishing but I was finally able to get everything connected and working. Second, as I eluded above, the manual is rudimentary at best. They could do a much better job explaining the individual features of the drone like “Headless Mode” (something I’ll just have to figure out on my own). Failsafe mode definitions appear conflicting “FSM will be triggered if the transmitter signal is lost for more than 6 seconds.” But then in red below “If there is no GPS signal or the transmitter signal has lost for more than 6 seconds the drone will not return-to-Home....”. I think they meant to say “and” because “or” conflicts with the whole purpose of the FSM. The only other slight disappointment is the camera tilt is manual so once it’s set your stuck looking at that angle until you land and can change it. However, the picture and video quality are outstanding. Last bit of advice...Take some time to learn to fly it. Use a build up approach to familiarize yourself and you will find your skills grow and the fun increase with each flight. All in all, this is a very well designed drone and exception for the price.

I am super impressed by this drone! I bought it for my 9 yr. old son for Christmas. He wanted one of the more expensive drones after having had bad luck with less expensive and frankly cheaply made drones. Honestly though, I wasn't ready to spend a huge amount of money for a drone he might easily break because he's 9 and accidents happen. This cost $130 on sale. He absolutely loves it! It's relatively simple and straightforward to use. It has tons of great features. He has already figured out how to do most things with the drone. He is still learning some and will continue to figure more out which I think adds to the excitement. This pic of the sunset over our neighborhood is one he took the day after he got it. Not bad for a 9 yr old with a $130 drone after just one day! The one issue I have is that I am not huge on the controller. It works fine by itself and it is easily held but it absolutely will not hold my phone as pictured in the instructions. We have to rubber band it onto the controller. Not ideal for an expensive phone being handled by a 9 yr old while trying to control a drone. Overall though... we are super happy with it. The Holy Stone HS510 is a reasonably priced hobby level drone with great features found on much more expensive drones. It is easy to use, seems very well made and sturdy and is out of this world exciting for my 9 yr old! I highly recommend this... especially for children who want a nicer drone with camera and video capabilities like they see in their YouTube videos and parents who aren't keen on spending $350.

While this isn't my 1st drone (I own 3 others) it is my 1st "non-toy grade" one. As there are literally hundreds of drones to choose from these days, I did a LOT of research before purchasing. I watched endless YouTube videos, read through dozens of drone forums and read many drone/tech site + Amazon owner reviews. I chose the HS510 because it seemed to offer a great mix of features, performance and positive owner feedback at a reasonable price. After receiving it, familiarizing myself with it's operation and flying it numerous times, I'm happy to report it delivers everything I'd hoped for and more. The amount of tech packed into this drone is impressive given it's price. Every feature I've tried out so far - GPS position hold, return-to-home, optical flow sensor and auto take off/landing - work as advertised. The camera takes pretty good pictures (see attached) and video when saved to an onboard microSD card - I haven't tried saving pics or video directly to my phone and will likely just skip that. The fact that the drone is foldable, came with (2) batteries and a nice little carrying case to store & transport everything was just icing on the cake. I was so impressed with the HS510 that I ended up ordering Holy Stones newest drone (the HS720E) to try doing a little higher-end aerial photography/videography. (EDIT: My only complaint regarding the HS510 is that it doesnt come in black, which makes it easier (for me at least) to spot when the drone is at a higher altitude. Since this is more of a personal preference than anything I didn't factor it into my rating.)

Ok, so first off, I would like to send a special thank you to Holystone! They have the best Tech support bar non! This drone is easy to fly so long as you know what to do before you even try to fly it. Calibrate, calibrate, calibrate!!! Yes, you have to calibrate the gyroscope before you even think about sending it up in the air! Also check the screws on the props before you send it up in the air! Also, once you get great at flying it you might want to put some loctite on the prop screws but not needed as long as you check the screws on a regular basis. This drone is FAST! so fly it with caution in an open area until you get used to how it handles! Drones DO NOT have breaks so slow down when you get near anything and you will be just fine! Remember that this a sport drone first with some powerful motors on it and a photo/video drone second. The GPS works great as does the return home function as long as you set up the return home height correctly in settings!!! I bought the drone mainly for taking some pictures of the area that I live in Colombia South America which I have posted some with this review for you to enjoy. I do Highly recommend this drone and Holystone as a manufacture to buy from as their support is what will keep me coming back for future drone purchases! 4/23/2023 Update! So according to Doris over at Holy Stone the Holy Stone HS510 Drone has been discontinued so you can no longer get the drone or parts for it. :-( Not sure why they decided to discontinue producing such a great drone, but they did. As far as new Blades are concerned you are going to have to buy MJX B7 Bugs 7 Quadcopter Blades and do some plastic pin popouts to just swap the Blades and not the entire propellers.
