I recently purchased the HS290 drone, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The drone is incredibly easy to set up and fly, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced pilots. The stability and control are excellent, and the image quality of the camera is superb, capturing clear and vibrant footage. The HS290's battery life is impressive, allowing for extended flight sessions without frequent recharging. Additionally, the drone's design is sleek and durable, with intuitive controls that enhance the overall flying experience. Overall, the HS290 offers fantastic value for its price. It's a reliable and high-performing drone that has exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch aerial experience!

Good slight issue like it is in the advert great stability good for beginners .i would say that the camera can lag greatly and makes it hard to fly good value for money and has a great battery life . The flip button is very fun to use and when the camera doesn’t lag it makes a good photo

Initially, great small drone. Easy to use and lots of fun. But second day of use the drone lost responsiveness, flew high, wouldn’t respond to the controller, flew very high and was then lost. Camera connection to the app was also poor.

It super nice it come with all you need to fly it the camera it good and Beginner friendly it a good price

This is a decent little drone for the money, but it’s definitely more of a kids’ toy or beginner drone than something for serious drone enthusiasts. The drone is lightweight, easy to set up and fun to fly. I liked that it comes with two batteries, a carry case and spare propellers, so you’re ready to go straight out of the box. Battery life is around 12 minutes per battery, giving roughly 24 minutes in total if you use both batteries, which is reasonable for the price. On the downside, the camera is fairly basic and the footage can be quite shaky as there is no image stabilisation. It also struggles in windy conditions due to its light weight, and the lack of GPS means you need to be careful when flying outdoors. Overall, it’s a good introduction to drones and a fun way to learn the basics without spending a fortune. It has its limitations, but considering the price, it’s hard to complain too much.

I bought this for my son’s 10th birthday. It’s an excellent drone, and very easy to fly thanks to the automatic takeoff mode. It’s fun For both children and adults to fly, and is excellent value for money. If your main purpose is to take video or photos, then this probably is not the drone for you as the video / photo quality is not the best. I’d recommend looking for a 4K camera drone in this case. For flying around and having some fun, this is a super drone for the money. The flying range is great too, at near 100m.

really good quality camera and drone is very gopd very easy to use i did it really easily wirhout even using the insctuctions the only thing i saw was the app i had to go on and just stay away from trees and apart from tbst i would highly recommend it over 100 times :-)

C'était ma première expérience avec un drone et cet appareil est idéal pour débuter! Le drone est petit et léger et il est assez facile pour un débutant d'apprendre à le contrôler. Je conseille toutefois de commencer à le faire voler à l'extérieur pour bien apprendre à le contrôler avant de passer à l'intérieur. La télécommande répond bien et l'application pour téléphone fonctionne parfaitement. Elle permet de contrôler le drone et de prendre des photos et des vidéos à 720 p. Les deux batteries rechargeables permettent chacune environ 15 minutes de vol, ce qui est suffisant à mon avis, car un séance de 30 minutes suffit pour se pratiquer et s'amuser. Il faut compter ensuite environ une heure pour recharger chaque batterie avec le chargeur fourni. Ce drone est parfait pour débuter, mais il faut lire attentivement le manuel d'instruction fourni pour le calibrer et apprendre ses différentes fonctionnalités. J'apprécie notamment les fonctions qui permettent de faire tourner automatiquement le drone sur lui-même. Cela donne l'impression d'être passé à un niveau supérieur, même si tout se fait automatiquement. Je ne confierais pas ce drone à un enfant de moins de 8 ans, à moins de le superviser de près et de tenir la télécommande pour l'aider.

After researching several different drones, i decided to buy this one, the Holy Stone HS110G.... it was given as a gift from my mother to my son. The directions and assembly were decent and easy. I love the fact that it has a return to home feature, and Auto takeoff and landing. My son is 10 years old, and this is his first drone. The app is simple to use, and the picture quality is great. CONS: My only complaint so far is the batteries..... the kit comes with 2 batteries, which have approx 10-13 min of run time each, which is not horrible.... but to charge the batteries, they need to be in the drone.... the drone is the charger. This is very inconvenient. I saw on Holy Stones website that there is a Charging Hub, with room for 2 Batteries, but Amazon says it is Unavailabe, and not sure if it will become availabe. I noticed that other models offer a USB plug port on the battery itself, this is not an option with these batteries. Overall, i feel this is a great choice for a kid/teen/adult first drone.

** Original review: This is false advertising. The company significantly changed this product offering but did not change the description. I assume cost-cutting. The item comes with only one battery - it says two on here. Pretty useless without an extra battery. They carrying case has also been eliminated. Carrying it around with out a case is a recipe for damage. Returning the product - I can get a similar drone with extra batteries and carrying case.*** So - that happened. I was contacted by a customer rep from the company and offered replacement with 2 batteries and a case, as originally advertised. And yes, it was delivered as promised. Test fpre bhis is great customer service - very responsive. Anyway, once I got the replacement drone, I set it up relatively easily. Tried around the yard. It was a cold and windy day - not the best for drones. But this drone - a bit shaky in wind - did quite well and it is easy to control. The quality of the video is excellent when seen on an iPhone. Very high quality and clear. For me, this is an excellent drone for beginners if you want to practice and learn how to effectively use a drone. This drone has all features of more expensive drones - the difference will be in ruggedness and construction. Excellent drone for beginners at a great price.

Purchased for a 10 year old, quick learning curve with the features built into unit. Great service from Holy Stone in providing solutions to one of the motors that was not providing the correct lift. Prompt reply and follow up and excellent solutions. would recommend this unit as a beginner drone.

I recently purchased the Holy Stone HS110G as my first drone. I researched as best I could and there seem to be several good options. For around $150 this seems to be a very good option. I've flown the drone a few times and here are my thoughts: Pros: - The drone has many videos to demonstrate how to fly the drone (HolyStone and YouTube) - The iPhone app and instructions work well setup for controlling the drone - The drone has a "Beginner" mode that limits the height and distance of flight - The Auto-takeoff and Return to Home work amazingly well. The drone will land within 3' of where it took off. - The video/pictures are pretty good quality (1080p) - again $150 - you're not getting all the bells and whistles - The drone comes with 2 batteries and spare propellers - Customer service is pretty good, you usually have to wait a day between emails, but they do respond and do try to be helpful - It was easy to fly in Beginner mode and you can gain flying confidence using this mode - It flies well even in 5-10mph wind Cons: - The batteries take about 2 hours to charge with the USB cable. Flying time is around 13 minutes per battery - My camera won't record to the SD card, I've emailed Customer Service and they are sending me a new camera. I'll update this review once I receive it. It will record (not as high quality) videos and pictures to my iPhone. What I have learned is the MicroSD card needs to be Class 10 and formatted as FAT32 to work - The drone doesn't come with a case any longer. You need some kind of case/box to transport and store the drone Everyone says and it's true, learn to fly the drone in a large wide-open space (without trees). I have been to a sports park with baseball/football fields and a school field. This is not a drone for children. I'm very happy with the drone as my first drone, it's easy to fly and Customer Support is responsive. I'll update this post after I try some of the other advanced features like map mode and follow me.
