HS 280D Holystone Drone
For a first time drone purchase I am extremely satisfied with this product. Easy to learn how to fly. Camera has nice video and picture quality. Easy to understand manual. Good video tutorials.The one thing that I didn’t like was the handheld transmitter will only hold up to a certain size / width phone. My newer Samsung GalaxyS23 was to wide to fit in the spring loaded phone holder. I happened to have held onto an older Samsung that was narrow enough to fit in the holder, and had newer enough software to be compatible with the app. (The manual states your phone must have a 5.0 or higher version for Android phones, which my older phone was a 7.0 )I also tried using my new Samsung S9+ tablet to load the Holystone App on, and was disappointed to have my tablet tell me that IT wasn’t compatible with the App. Not sure if this is because its a tablet and not a phone, or what ……..Anyways , I still am enjoying my purchase of the HS 280D. For the cost, it is a great starter drone if you are looking for one as your first.Sincerely, Greg in NW Missouri USA

Good First/Learner Drone
As a complete notice, I purchased this drone to learn to fly. It is fun and pretty good for that purpose but it has the expected limitations even slightly more advanced flyers will probably find annoying. The setup for WiFi connections were unclear and it took me a while to realize the WiFi was coming from the DRONE not from my home WiFi. Once figured that out, it was pretty easy to connect the drone’s camera to my phone via the app. Transmission of the video is laggy preventing fly by sight. The camera is low res and isn’t particularly crisp but it was good enough for me to find debris left on my roof by some maintenance guys!. Flying time is very limited but the spare battery is nice to have and makes for longer practice sessions. These limitations are to be expected for an inexpensive/cheap first drone but, overall I have really been enjoying learning to fly…and at this price, I don’t worry about my occasional rapid descent!

Good for no wind. Pick another if breezy.
The price of the HS280D (less than $100) is very attractive. The brushless motors are very quiet. Comes with 2 modular batteries It also seems to be very quick. Nice looking drone and hovers well if there is no wind. This is the area I did not like. Any wind and the drone has a mind of its own. You canât take your eyes of it or it could disappear. There are two speeds and you need to be in high to have any chance of getting back to your home base with some breeze. If you are looking for a beginner drone you are better off with a gps one. A least you can look at the phone for a photo. Flight time is decent.

Flys OK. Smokes on landing. Camera doesn’t work.
My son wanted a drone with a camera for Christmas. Flew OK. Started smoking after second landing. Doesn’t broadcast SSID so we can’t connect to camera. Son still doesn’t have a drone with a camera. 🙁
Great GoPro donât even buy the newest one. This is the same thing as The Hero 12 Best GoPro on the market Fast next day shipping this item is amazing. Came brand new. –
BEST BUDGET DRONE EVER!!
The strong feels like a DJI drone it does not have that cheap feel at all and the controller is pretty good quality also and I know they donât include this in the product description but for the controller you need 4 AAA batteries and the drone takes the rechargeable batteries it comes with. Iâve only had this drone for two days. If you are a beginner or if you are buying this for your kid! This is a drone to buy!, for under $100 I would definitely buy this if you are a beginner, do not buy any other offbrand drone from Amazon the dirt cheap ones are basically all the same and they suck, so do not buy those dirt cheap ones, invest a little money and buy this one, and donât even get me started on customer service! If you go onto the holy Stone app they have customer service on the app, and it is amazing 10/10! The warranty is great, if you have a problem with the drone, do not message Amazon about it! Because all theyâll do is tell you to return it and it takes a while to get a refund. But go to the holy Stone app. And they have customer service. That I literally messaged this morning. And said after I crashed it the right propeller doesnât spin as fast as the other ones. And they were right on it and they said that they were going to send me a brand new one within 3-6 business days. So Iâm just saying. Buy this drone. Because this one is almost close to a DJI. And the camera quality isnât that bad but if youâre looking for a drone to get cinematic footage on, then buy a DJI drone, and the camera on this drone has remote angle movement and the stabilization on it is pretty good! So overall on this review, I give it a 10/105 STAR!

It is very easy!
When I started looking for a drone to kill spare time, I wanted something I could operate, afford, and crash without feeling it’s a waste of money. The Holy Stone 280D fits the bill! It is very simple to operate but with enough of a challenge to hold my attention. Its priced reasonably to not break into my stash funds, and it is durable enough to withstand the few crashes I have already completed.Very pleased with the purchase and the quickness of the shipping. Oh, as I write this, I just get an alert for a Free battery offer from Holy Stone! Life is GOOD!

Karl Hooker –
This little drone is incredible. So stable and very easy to fly, responsive to controls and has a very good quality camera for the price point. The battery life is as stated at around 14 minutes per charge per battery.This is by far the most stable drone Iâve ever tried and is quick and easy to set up and get going. Excellent value for money, Iâm so pleased with it.

Surprisingly good quality for such an inexpensive drone. This is the ideal drone for a beginner. The camera quality is excellent with sharp images and the two batteries are handy for extended flight times.This is my third Holystone drone and I highly recommended this version for anyone interested in learning about flying a drone.

Product incredible visually. Took it for a flight inside my house, worked very well. Went outside, hardly any wind, took off to 20ft, drone vanished 50m right, zero controller response and landed in an unknown location. Product for the budget is as expected. But don’t buy this expecting anything special outside. Close environment only, ZERO wind required.You get what you pay for so I’m leaving a generous 3 star review.
Hugo Gaudino –
This Drone is a good choice for beginners, but it does come with a few drawbacks. The brushless motor is definitely a good feature, giving it a smooth flight. There’s no Micro SDXC Memory Card slot, so if you’re looking to record videos, take note of that. The app is decent. The camera is just okay and there is no stabilization, so don’t expect too much. 2 batteries with about 14 minutes of flight each… It’s quite expensive for what it offers. Overall, it’s good for indoor or outdoor flying. Good for beginners.
