This is my 4th different style of Holy Stone drone that I have owned. Holy Stone makes a drone for each level of drone pilot out there! The F181W is a good drone for beginners and is fun to fly! It comes in a very nice case which is perfect for storage and portability! Setup of the drone is extremely simple…within a few short minutes, you are ready to fly!
Despite owning 3 of the $200+ Holy Stone drones, I found myself thoroughly entertained by this drone! Unlike my other drones which I often send up as high and as far as they allow, I typically keep this one in the confines of my yard. Without the GPS hold functionality that I have been accustomed to, I found it refreshing to go back to the basics of controlling a drone in flight. After getting used to the controls and on calm days, I have a blast weaving in and out of my porch posts and “drifting” around the flagpole in my front yard! It is also fun to do flips and rolls using the top-right shoulder button of the remote. The top-left shoulder button also allows you to change the speed of the drone.
With it being very light in weight, it is susceptible to drift from the breeze and keeps you on your game at the controls. I don’t recommend flying in too much wind however. One day I tested the drone in 5-7 mile per hour winds and it was too light to properly control which led to 2 crashes. The light weight and flexible plastic handled these crashes very well though giving testament to its durability.
The drone has a static FPV camera that snaps into place on the belly. It is adjustable up/down before flight. The camera takes decent quality pictures and videos. I am attaching actual in-flight pictures from the drone to this review. It is cool to have a first person perspective on your phone while flying this drone using the Deerc app on your phone/tablet!
The flight time per battery lasts just around 10 minutes. Having 2 batteries doubles your fun at 20 minutes! The batteries only take approximately 30-45 minutes to fully charge via the included Micro-USB cable and a standard USB charging block (not included) getting you quickly back into the air! They are very easy to swap out by simply pressing on a release button and sliding rearward out of the drone. The new battery slides easily into place and clicks firmly into place.
After getting the basics of flight down with the remote control, it is fun to play with functionality of the drone through the previously mentioned Deerc app. You can control the drone entirely through the app with onscreen “joystick-style” controls. You can also draw a pattern on your phone screen for the drone to fly. Flying the drone via voice commands and making gestures is fun as well!
In summary, I highly recommend this drone for those who are younger and/or just wanting to get started in the drone world! The reasonable price along with the good quality, fun features and the ABSOLUTELY UNBEATABLE customer service of Holy Stone makes this drone a great choice!

I love this drone! I own a few Holy Stone drones and for this particular drone, for the price, you can’t beat it. It flies very well and it’s so easy to control. The battery life is exactly what it should be and the fact that this drone comes with 2 batteries is a huge plus. I definitely recommend this Holy Stone model! Five thumbs up!!!!! Videos to follow.

I bought my first HolyStone Quad about a year ago, it is the HS720. I love that drone. So this is my review of a smaller training racing drone. Outstanding little drone. Comes with a awesome case with extra blades and battery. Easy set up out of the box. Drone flies really well with controlled precise movements of the controller. This is a great drone to learn FPV racing and learning how to do maneuvers like you see on YouTube . Not expensive and takes a beating. I crashed about 4 times with no ill effects to the drone. I was practicing in a field on grass though, harder surfaces may change that.. :-). Batteries charge via a USB Type C connector included in about 2hrs. Great to have an extra battery. Flight is total about 15 min depending on what your doing. Love this little drone. Has camera (need to supply a micro SD card) but quality is good. This package is well worth the price. I am buying another so I can fly with my son. Holystone support is great. There Facebook page is a great group of fellow flyers. Holystone has very responsive FB monitors that will assist with any issue almost immediately or within a day. Great Company for support unlike some others.

The advertisement for this drone is is spot on. It’s definitely a beginner drone.
First the not so good:
-It’s very light weight. The first flight I was hovering about 5′ from the garage and a moderate wind pushed into the garage. It scratched up the blades but no damage.
-The camera, though it tilts it doesn’t tilt via the remote.
-The phone holder on the remote, once pushed into place can’t be removed. (I felt like I’d break it if I pulled hard) which made it difficult to fit back into the case.
-I had a hard time getting it to hover in place without some mild drift
-Feels like a toy
Now the good:
-Super easy to set up
-Batteries charge outside of the drone so can charge batteries all at once which means quicker fly time
-Batteries lasted longer than expected
-This drone does flips!
-It’s easy and fun to fly
-Very responsive to the remote
-Pretty tough. It crashed into the garage pretty hard and other than scratched blades not a hick-up. Picked it right up and continued to fly.
I’d buy this as a first drone to teach the kids with for sure. I do want to say that this is my 3rd HS stone drone and I’ve been satisfied with them. HS customer service is top notch! Responsive and really want to help solve issues.
Sorry for the poor video quality

Here we are flying the F181W from Holy Stone on a very windy day.
The F181W includes 2 modular battery packs, extra propellers, and a screw driver. The entire unit comes packed in its own nicely padded backpack. The drone is a mid size with brush motors. I really like the overall design of this drone. The drone can use your smartphone as an FPV screen and there also is an app for WiFi phone control. Holy Stone no longer includes a memory card so remember if you want to save picture or video get a small SIM card.
The F181 is very agile and stable. With variable speed settings. The gearing is smooth easy to maintain. I use the guards for indoor flying. This is a good basic drone for outdoor and indoor use. It has auto leveling which is very helpful along with a headless mode.
I think it’s a fun drone for adults as well.
Holy Stone stands behind their product. Customer service is responsive and very helpful.
The F181 is a very reliable and fun drone. Everything you need fits nicely into this stylish backpack.
