Holystone HS600 Camera Drone - Great Beginner Drone if you can find one to buy!

Finally a budget drone that's good quality and doesn't have fisheye👍

[@andreacost3040]

I'm so happy I watched, I just purchased this yesterday through Amazon w 100$ off! I did tons of research, and this one came up several times with near 5 star reviews. That being said, I was still nervous: "Is this a good one?" So watching this absolutely made my day, and I can not wait to start creating!! Thanks for the information 🎉

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

HolyStone is where I started and had no complaints. This one looks like a great beginner drone.

Nice to see a camera drone. Back on your channel... no matter what it might or might not be.....👍.

[@telephony]

On the HS720E, the landing lights can be toggled on and off with a button on the right-hand shoulder of the radio. Not sure if the same procedure is employed here, but this *IS* a Holy Stone product. 😁

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I tried all the usual methods, but no luck.

[@reidbridges1774]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Holy Stone says this is a future feature, my guess is either it draws too much battery or the FAA gave them grief over the lights.

I purchased the HS600 in July and I love the way this things flies, so much fun. The blue and white LED's on the arms looks good and bright at night time and it can record your voice audio on video (through the controller) while flying. I also own a mini 2. I like them both. I'm keeping the HS600 for the speed and long-lasting batteries and extra features.

It looks like a redesigned F11 Pro Gim. It shoots nice video and the price point is nice for those looking to get a decent entry level drone with features not available on the budget DJI mini drones though at this price I would probably lean towards purchasing the DJI Mini SE instead. You can also get the F11 pro gim for about $100 less which is more appealing and a better price point for beginners.

[@garylinnane917]

Reminds me of the Bugs 16 and the F11. I've been looking at this drone for a couple of days now. For the price I would probably be looking at the fimi x8. I'll have to wait until next year when the weather in my country of the UK gets better and decide then.

[@printer5518]

It’s now for sale in several places but Amazon currently has a 50$ off coupon so it’s a good value for what it is. I just ordered one myself.

[@gustavrischmuller2569]

It will be very interesting to see what the "budget/beginner drone category" does next. Incremental updates to the original SJRC F11, and the resultant price increases, make this whole category fall far short of the Mini SE. Conclusion: Nice enough, but probably 12 to 18 months too late and $100 too expensive.

[@sonyviva308]

The 2 axis camera is somewhat a letdown for this one. The Mini SE is still the king of budget beginner drone

[@gustavrischmuller2569]

@@sonyviva308 Yes, that 3rd axis smooths yaw moves, so you have to manually feather the left stick with a deft touch. A bigger issue is the tiny, old tech camera sensor with minimal or no manual settings.

[@richardmaggio]

@@gustavrischmuller2569 They would have to have improved yaw performance from the DE22 Pro, which the HS600 seems to be based upon. It is impossible to get a smooth yaw on the DE22 Pro. If you feather the stick it won't respond at first and when it finally starts responding it starts moving very quickly.

[@gustavrischmuller2569]

@@richardmaggio And don't I know that terrible input response! I get it to "kind of" work every 1 out of 5 times... Point is, DJI Mini SE has just made that whole category obsolete. As I said, all those budget drones now only makes sense in terms of value if they sell for $150 or less.

The landing lights could be infrared with a optical sensor. However the return to home being off that much; not sure it is working though.

[@FoxFaderWorld]

I started with the Bugs 4W 4K. This is way more advanced, an awesome hobby-grade unit. It actually has useable video.

[@jimg8070]

I was waiting to see your review of this. I bought one when it first was available ( walmart, not amazon) mine was a dud. no amount of App updates could fix it. H.S. cust service gave up and sent it to Walmart Cust Service. I could not recommend it based on my early experience. you might also inform people that in 4K cameras with E.I.S. the video is less than 4K due to the EIS, which can not be turned off, E.I.S. takes away pixels to make video smoother, and it is then upscaled to 4K.

[@desert-walker]

Thanks I just got one well, it’ll be here today. My other one just bit the dust so you helped a lot thanks.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

[@rudyvalentin1789]

It is said that the landing lights are just for show. there are no bulbs inside. Maybe when they make an updated version of the HS600, they'll maybe added to it.

[@Hungrybird474]

Ok . I understand how some drones can lose connection and just keep going . I had one zip away and luckily hit a tree branch . It was just a small drocon 014 ninja in 3 rd speed but it’s quick in 3 rd . I now know to be careful at certain distances . It can’t go far at all but I hoo the 175d can go further or just keep connection with line of sight . I thought I could go a lot further and higher even with the little guy . Haven’t tried the 175d in height or distance or yet

[@DT21870]

I've been trying to decide on this or the DJI Mavic mini (V1) since they are both the same price. I think dollar for dollar this will be a better value. Maybe someday I'll step up to a Mavic pro but I think for a beginner drone this HS600 will be perfect, thanks for the helpful review!

I paid $400 for ruko f11 gim 2. I am new to drones and thought I was investing in a good drone manufacturer name. This is the same drone as the Ruko. These same drones are sold by many different Chinese companies. When you are paying $350-$400 I find this unacceptable. You want to be investing in a quality name at that price point. I bought the F11 GIM2 and the Mavic mini SE and here is what I found. Although the F11 GIM 2-This drone, boasts level 7 wind resistance it doesn't handle as well as the mavic mini SE which boasts level 5. The Ruko has better day time video recording in my opinion. Low light conditions and the video is garbage though. These drones should be priced at $200 tops. Anymore than that and you should grab a mavic mini SE. The mini Se is steady as a Rock. Still thinking about sending the Ruko back. It is a fine drone, I just know it isnt worth what I paid. I would have been better off paying an extra $50 to get the Mini se 2.
