Good drone for beginners
Newbie and this was my first drone. Love it, and for the money I am very pleased—had it for 3 years now. Easy to fly and has been reliable. Amazon sent me only one battery, and then offered a minimal discount to make up for it. You want two batteries for sure, it has probably 20 mins of flight time. Goes plenty high and has the features you want, but the range is probably my only issue with it….it probably goes 400 yards before loosing signal, but comes right back, to within a 6 ft circle of where it took off from. Good pictures and connects well and the app isn’t glitchy or annoying. Seems well built and I have never changed the blades, never crashed either. I will be upgrading, but this is a great beginner drone. You can’t go wrong with this drone as it’s half or a quarter of the price of many drones that seem to be very similar. Range is the only reason I want to upgrade.

Holy Stone HS720E GPS Drone – Great starter Drone
I finally was interested enough early 2023 to use a small drone for surveying the status of a farm. Trying to determine the health of planted trees, and fruits/rice plantation. So I research and found a lot of positive reviews about the Holy Stone HS720E GPS Drone. So I ordered one from Amazon.I found this product easy to learn and it has the camera resolution ideal for my purpose. In learning to use this drone, I had a couple of accidents but the drone survive without damage, indicating that it is well made. First accident was it hit the side of the refrigirator door and fell down to the wood floor from a height of 5 ft. it survived.The next accident is from a height of 45 ft up in the air, a gust of high wind blew the drone into the trees. At that height, I was expecting some damage. After a few minutes of studying the last live picture, it finally gave me enough clues where to look for the drone. Luckily, the drone fell on a bed of leaves that must have cushioned its fall. After dusting it off, and a quick inspection for damage (which I found none), I tried to see if it will still work and to my delight, it came back to life and worked fine.My only issue with this drone is that the controller looses connection too often. But as far as the drone is concerned, I love this product. If Holy Stone can improve the remote/drone connection and make it more reliable, it will receive 5 stars as far as I’m concerned.As far as the pictures and videos are concerned, they are good enough for my application. If I need videos and pictures that are closer to cinematic quality, I can edit them in my video and photo editor apps. Note that it will never beat proffesional quality videos and photos as take by much much more expensive equipment, but for amature use and surveying use, it’s good enough for me.I highly recommend this product for beginners.

This is a quality drone, well made and easy to use. I found it ideal for my first experience with owning a drone. The documentation is good and the software works well. I had no trouble getting it airborne, flying it around and using the camera. I found it to be very good quality for the price – I was quite impressed.The camera, at 4K, isn’t as good as I had hoped for, but it is good enough.All in all – I’m very happy with the purchase.

Incredible value for money considering the features, my main shopping point was the follow me feature. Set up was easy once you get past the 5Hr battery charge cycle, so far this would be my only gripe. HS720E ships with two batteries & while the charger can doc two only 1 charges while the other sits on standby waiting for the first to finish. Unit does not ship with the 5v 2A plug so initially I plugged the charger with supplied lead into the PC – that’s useless, so after 6 Hrs I changed to the IOS or Android plug I have and away we go, at a claimed 26 minutes each – that’s amazing.Packaging is impressive too compartments keeping things tight and it’s clear on look alone the carry case can take a few bumps. The supplied Instruction book in multiple languages very well written and presented, font on the light small side for my old eyes but fortunately when unit is connected to your phone there is access to video tutorials; I suggest a combination of reading and videos.Getting up in the air took me 3 minutes to figure out that you first unlock the motors then hit the auto take off & hover, this is a GREAT feature as once landed motors lock to prevent accidental take-off, putting the small remote down last thing you need is this taking off in any direction – more so if you had the high speed engaged! – it can get up an boogie for sure… I’m glad I had it on slow! Of which is a great speed from the two available for learning, yes I hit the fence, TWICE… , arm folded in BUT no damage!! WOW – Unit is well constructed, looks and feels solid, at just under 500g motors are quite and keep this thing stable, I had some wind at 31 Celsius and took it up to 8 Mtrs but it’s like a frozen moment, sits there looking at you… and Sony Image stabilisation incredible… and I love the underside landing light.. I’m yet to hit the park for my big test flight and play with features, Follow me, Orbit and GPS tap way points but so far I’m impressed, it’s clear a lot of people and thought went in to this package, well done Holy Stone – at this price point it’s hard to look past & suggest your hardest decision will be comparing against which HS model you choose! as opposed to another brand!!As a beginner I wanted the Follow me, 4K, & long flight time and while there’s no obstacle avoidance on this model, a DJI was just NOT in my budget for the latter three. At this price & this stage of my life, if I take it up and through beginner error loose or bust it up yes I’ll be pissed for a few weeks BUT, if I did the same on a DJI!!! – I’d be pissed every time I see a drone for the rest of my life… for me the HS720E was an easy choice and no brainer..
