Holy Stone GPS Drone with 1080P HD Camera FPV Live Video for Adults and Kids, Quadcopter HS110G with Carrying Bag, 2 Batteries, Altitude Hold,…

Not very happy when I opened the box. Looking at the details and description online flight time is 26 minutes. The flight time on the product box is 13 minutes. Not very happy . I know it’s just 13 extra minutes but the timing was the main reason why I purchased this product and not others

The HS110G from Holy Stone came with a nice zipper carrying case with all the accessories needed, including 2 batteries and extra props. Startup was the same as the other drones, you have to pair the remote, calibrate the gyro, then register GPS signal. The initialization of this drone is probably the fastest I’ve seen yet, I was able to take off within 2 minutes of popping in the battery cartridge.

With GPS locked in, the drone will maintain its location within roughly a square meter area, no matter the wind directions. I can’t even deal with drones that don’t have GPS anymore, it is a must-have feature. The camera mounted underneath is removable, but no adjustable positioning, the camera only points straight forward, but is wide-angle enough to catch almost any view.

After a mix-up and a collision with a garden fence, the drone seemed to struggle maintaining balance during the next flight. I was concerned but then did a recalibration of the gyro and it performed much better, so it’s important to remember to recalibrate during any hard landing or crash.

Return to home seemed to behave differently, as most other drones rise up high to avoid obstacles, then navigate to home position, then drop down. This one maintained its current altitude, then slowly navigated and lowered to the starting point. This one has a unique button that can do an emergency power kill mid-flight. I didn’t try it, but supposedly it will shut down the props and the unit just free-falls, perhaps a good safety-net with some of the reports of GPS flaking out in similar drone models and losing control of the drone.

All in all this was a fun drone to play with and a good starter drone for the beginner!

 So I’ve been playing with this drone for about a week no and I’m very impressed with everything it does for such a cheap price. I really enjoy the follow me feature. I used that the other day while walking a trail and I got some really cool videos. I also love that this drone came with 2 batteries so you can enjoy flying for almost a half hour. I also like that it comes with a really nice travel bag so I don’t really have to worry about storage or anything. So far with this drone I’d give it an 8/10 review only because it’s not a very far range drone but also it’s only $150 bucks so for that price your getting a great drone.
