Holy Stone GPS Drone with 4K Camera for Beginner Adults, HS360S 249g Foldable FPV Drones RC Quadcopter with 10000 Feet Transmission Range, Brushless Motor, Follow Me, Smart Return Home

I am first time user and this drone is easy to use. It has great features which you can explore over a time drone is powerful and efficient in terms of operation.

Was able to connect. Picture quality is good.

Good drone, wish it had a gimbal to stabilize the video. But overall a nice product for that price. Excited to try out all the features and will add more details to my review

Excellent drone for beginners. Excellent features

I was looking forward to using the drone. We went on a family holiday for Christmas, and I wanted to use it to take videos and photos of our experience. However, on unboxing, I found that the battery was faulty, so I have been unable to test or use the product. What's more, we arrived home after the last day on which it could be returned, so more bad luck!

It’s good but very low battery life

I have received the product which looks was opened before The cables attached were wrong, the manufacturer missed to put C port cable which even I couldn't find it in the market, so I stayed searching for cable After I found compatible cable I discovered that the drone had fault in the take off so I couldn't even use it In terms of quality its seems ok, I feel its ok to try but make sure that once you received it all items should be included in the package

Not working

This my first ever drone. I'm writing this review after turning it on twice. I say turning it on because although I used it twice I don't really consider them uses. The first time I was a bit hesitant because it got dark by the time I was able to use it. But my anxiety to turn it on won over my fears. After a bit of fumbling around I was able to get it calibrated and the blades rotating. I like that once you press "Take Off" button it sits at a height that is not too high and not low and it just sits there without any inputs from the controller. I don't really think that you're flying this drone. Is more like positioning it. I mean once it's in the air you touch the controls, let them go and the drone stays there. You want to go higher? Just push the stick up until you reach your desired height and let go. Want to rotate? Push the stick in any direction and then let go once your facing the desired direction. The same with back/forth and side-to-side. Very, very simple. The drone just stays where you put it. Not flying, just positioning it. The FPV experienced zero glitches and the image was wonderful. I just want to mention that I forgot to remove the protective film on the camera lens when I recorded the two videos in this review. I'm nowhere close to considering myself a photographer but I feel the quality of the image is OK. The second time I turned it on (used it) was inside the house. Yes, my wife was not home at the time so I was in the clear. I could not get a GPS signal so I switched it to "Altitude Mode" so I believe it was using "Optical Flow" sensors to maintain position. It worked great and I was able to move it around the room with ease. This was early afternoon. Once the sunlight started really coming in it was causing heavy reflection on the floor so Optical Flow was having problems keeping the drone positioned while hovering. I was able control it while operating the controls but when I let go the controls the drone would lose control and not stay hovering in one place. It crashed a few times but nothing broke. Nothing on the drone nor anything in the room. This is why my limbs are working so that I may write this review. The only thing that happened is that a few props received very light damage. The only things I don't like are: 1- The drone is not include in the comparison list on holystone.com. It lists the HS360 but not the HS360S. 2- The props are not available on either holystone.com nor amazon.com 3- holystone.com WhatsApp chat agent told me that the props for HS360S are not compatible with any other drone. Depending on the price this may be a very bad thing. 4- Only one battery in the kit 5- The batteries are too expensive.

Mein persönliches Fazit vorweg: Insgesamt ein solides Teil, zum derzeitigen Preis in jedem Fall eine Empfehlung. Preis-/Leistungsverhältis sehr gut. In dieser Preisklasse vermutlich das Beste, was man derzeit bekommen kann. Als Drohnen-Einsteiger wollte ich erstmal mit begrenztem Einsatz in die Materie reinschnuppern. Die Bilder oder Videos sollen für den Eigengebrauch am Rechner oder TV ordentlich aussehen, mehr nicht. Nach etwas Recherche hab ich mich dann für die HS360S entschieden und das auch nach einigen Flugsessions nicht bereut. Die HS360S macht zunächst trotz des geringen Gewichts einen wertigen und stabilen Eindruck und hat auch schon einen kleinen Absturz auf Fels gut weggesteckt. Die Fernbedienung ist super und ergonomisch, gut ablesbar mit durchdachten Basisfunktionen und hält das Smartphone sehr sicher. Die weiteren Funktionen und Einstellungsmöglichkeiten über die App sind sehr gut, aber eben etwas fummeliger zu erreichen. In Kombination mit der FB aber eine gute Sache. Das Smartphone wird per Kabel mit der FB verbunden; das geht fix und ist unproblematisch, da das passende Kabel (USB-C, Micro-USB, Lightning dabei) in die FB integriert und damit immer an Bord ist. Die FB und der Akku der Drohne werden einfach separat per USB-C geladen. Der Funktionsumfang ist beeindruckend für diese Preisklasse, und es funktioniert auch alles wie erwartet. Auch die Reichweite ist sehr ordentlich und der Akku der Drohne hält grob, was die Werbung verspricht. Ich empfehle aber trotzdem, gleich einen zusätzlichen Akku anzuschaffen. Die Flugeigenschaften sind zufriedenstellend, wirklich positiv ist die Windstabilität. Natürlich wackelt sie bei Wind dann etwas aufgrund der Ausgleichbewegungen, aber man kann sie auch bei etwas Wind sicher fliegen. Die Drohne schwankt etwas beim Beschleunigen und Bremsen, was sich auf Videos nicht so gut macht. Das liegt vermutlich an der Kamera-Aufhängung, ist in Relation zur Preisklasse aber für mich hinnehmbar. Davon abgesehen ist die Bild- und Videoqualität in Ordnung. Das Handling insgesamt ist gut, die Drohne ist schnell ein- und ausgepackt und für den mobilen Einsatz unterwegs prima. Und ja, sie macht auch einfach Spaß.

Die Drohne macht wirklich eine gute Figur - lässt sich intuitiv steuern und hält stabil ihre Position. Die Kamera ist in Ordnung (Preis/Leistung voll ok), macht von weitem akzeptable Bilder - mit Zoom werden schnell unscharf. Dafür ist das Handling sehr einfach und bietet ordentlich Spaß. Tolles Produkt zu fairem Preis, klare Empfehlung (besonders für interessierte Einsteiger) Akku hält je nach Windstärke ca. 15-20min. Die Anleitung reicht ebenfalls aus, um nach wenigen Minuten starten zu können. Die längere Ladezeit des Drohnenakkus sollte man ggf. durch einen zweiten Akku kompensieren. Alles in allem: Kaufempfehlung!

This is an amazing drone for the money. For a present I was given the cheaper Holystone HS 440. Although that drone flew excellently, this drone 360 with GPS is really the one to get. It is extremely easy to fly, even for a non-video game beginner like me. It has a much better camera and has the really critical feature of being able to return to you with one button. I very quickly lost the first drone when it went to high and then I couldn't bring it back because it didn't have GPS. The 360S does have this feature and it works like a charm. Also the HS 360s has far better range. The technology on it is really quite amazing, especially for the price which with the discount and coupon was less than $150 (while the 440S was $100). One other big plus was they have an extremely helpful customer service number. When I first tried to fly it indoors, I couldn't get it to work because I didn't know that you have to turn off the GPS. I called the customer service # and it was the fastest pickup I have ever experienced with a customer service #. In less than a minute they gave me the info I needed. The pictures and video taken are quite good and clear, but if you want very high quality then you need to go to professional drones which are very expensive. One thing to be careful of is taking out the arms, which they do warn you about, but I didn't read the instruction manual carefully enough. As a result, I broke a piece, but it was easy to fix with a little hot glue. The bottom line is that this is a fantastic product for the money.

*****I initially had some issues with the product and it took a bit of time to sort things out, but I appreciate the seller's dedication to making things right. They sent another product to me and reached out to help me understand how to use the drone properly. Their support and commitment to customer satisfaction are commendable. Overall, I'm now happy with my purchase and the service I received. Thank you!*** I recently purchased the Holy Stone GPS Drone with 4K UHD Camera, hoping to dive into the world of drone photography and videography. However, after receiving the product and going through the instructions, I realized that it might be too complex for my needs as a beginner. The drone itself looks well-built and comes with impressive features such as a 4K UHD camera, 10,000 feet control range, brushless motor, Follow Me mode, Smart Return Home, and 5G transmission. These features make it seem like a fantastic piece of technology for experienced users. Despite its promising capabilities, I found the setup and operational instructions a bit overwhelming. The learning curve for this drone seems steep, especially for someone new to flying drones. As a result, I have decided not to use the product and will likely look for a more beginner-friendly option. For those who are more experienced with drones or willing to invest the time in learning, the Holy Stone GPS Drone appears to be a high-quality and feature-rich option. However, for complete beginners or those looking for something straightforward and easy to use, this drone might be a bit too advanced. ---
