Holy Stone Hs700E 4K Uhd Drone With Camera Here Anti-Vibration 130 Fov For Adults, Gps Quadcopter With 5Ghz Fpv Transmission, Brushless Motor, Easy Auto Return Home, Follow Me And Case

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.

I’ve only flown this drone one time. It did excellent. Very good quality. If you’re looking for a great drone for a beginner or novice this would be a good one for you! Very happy with mine.

The 700e is easy to fly, stable, and an excellent photo and video platform. My one minor complaint is the batteries take forever to charge, and I can’t use my LiPo charger from my RC planes. I did have a major problem a month ago when the camera and app stopped working altogether. I contacted Holy Stone, and Ada came to the rescue! Even though my drone was out of warranty by three months, she sent me a new camera for free. The unit includes the whole bottom plate. Six screws, two plugs, and we are whole again. And Ada has been kind enough to follow through and contact me to make sure everything worked out. Five stars for Ada and HS’s customer service unit!

I purchased the Holy Stone 700E while it was on a Black Friday sale after reading many reviews. Also purchased the spare parts package for extra propellers and propeller guards upon recommendation of another purchaser. I am an amateur drone flyer; and I plan to use the drone for fun with grandkids. The HS700E build quality is high. It is easy to learn the transmitter controls as well as the app. This is due in large part to the very good instruction manual that comes with this drone. The controller has a screen that provides useful flight information. I have found it easy to pair this drone to the controller as well as to calibrate the compass. There are many flight features that can make this drone fun to fly - outdoors. These include Follow Me, Point of Interest and Way Point mode. Unfortunately collision detection is not included. Would be useful for both indoor and outdoor flying. The propeller guards help to mitigate the lack of collision detection. The guards firmly attach to the arms; and provide a fair amount of propeller protection should the drone come into contact with an object during flight. The extra set of propellers will reduce any anxiety when flying the drone. Particularly when grandkids are having the fun. The weight of the HS700E puts it in a category that requires FAA registration and remote id function. FAA registration is not difficult to accomplish. I completed the Recreational UAS Safety Test without any trouble; and I am not good at taking test. I learned a lot about safety going through these processes; and the HS700E features and quality are superior to toys on the market. Remote id functionality is not included internally with this drone; however, the FAA lists it as being compliant. This might be because Holy Stone markets an external remote module; and I found that their customer support will work with you while making a new purchase. I found the Holy Stone customer support team to be far superior to other customer support services that I have needed to contact. During a ‘chat’ my connection was lost. The team member reached out to me via email to continue our ‘discussion’. She understood my issue; and readily presented a very satisfactory solution. On a subsequent call I reached call waiting and opted to end call. Much to my surprise my call was returned a short time later. It’s comforting to find a truly responsive customer support service.

You could not purchase a drone worse than this one. The image quality is horrible and discolored. The first one of these that I bought was defective. It would not fly above 90 feet and I kept getting the same error message no matter what I did to try and rectify it. I purchased a second one thinking that maybe I just purchased a faulty item. The second one flew higher but was limited in the remote range of flight. The drone could not fly more than a 200 feet from me before it lost signal. The batteries do not last longer than 12 minutes...so don`t let them sell you on the 23 minutes of flight nonsense. You cannot fly this thing if there is any sort of wind. You cannot fly this in areas where there might be a plethora of different signals, like near a busy street, as the interference becomes inevitable. Overall, this thing sucks. I think Holystone should be sued for selling such garbage at these prices. Save your money and purchase a better drone. This thing is not even adequate for beginners.
