Holystone HS720 GPS Camera Drone - A very elegant looking drone - Review

[@angharadhafod]

Who else starts by going right to the end to see the weight, before watching the rest? Over 250g? I'll keep to my Phantom. Cheers for always putting that section in the same location in the video, it makes things a lot easier :)

[@mikebeaulieu9485]

It hovers even in strong winds, although gust will make it waver but it will fight to keep It's position. The camera is excellent. I used it to check the roof and gutters over my house this spring, saves having to get up on the roof.

[@THE_45th_PARALLEL]

At the price they are asking for this I would have expected the video quality to be better, not 2012 digital camera quality.

[@chrisdwyer1477]

Same price range as a mavic mini, and we all know how much better that looks!

[@davecleverley]

@@chrisdwyer1477 I was also surprised at how jerky the video was plus the lens is very wide angle so there is a lot of distortion and the colours looked way off! Dissapointing compared to Mavic Mini!!

[@halfbreed_k]

Thanks this comment made me decide not to buy.

[@chrisdwyer1477]

@@mpcaz how are those redeeming features when the footage looks like utter junk?

[@TheCrazierz]

@@mpcaz can I ask, is there a different model between 2k or 4k? From my understanding is that video caught through the app would be 2k but on a SD card it would be 4k? Do I understand this correctly?

[@chuckmorton5730]

This is a great drone, well made and affordable. The camera has a bit of fisheye effect but for the money it is very good. There are adjustments you can use and the auto features work well. The only problem is the buttons for the shutter and the high/low are hard to reach if your phone is mounted as it sits close to the controller. I leave my phone off the controller in the shade because the essential the controls are on the controller anyway. Holy Stone's support is very responsive as well.

[@brianpierce6083]

I saw that "fisheye" effect and it is a turnoff for me. I never liked GoPro videos either. Are the newer models' cameras any better?

[@justinarnold09]

I got this as a first drone. It is fun to fly. Learning how to get the best possible footage out of it in spite of its beginner's shortcomings will be fun!

[@endervalra]

I just bought it last night. I took advantage of an Amazon flash deal (20% off), a clickable Amazon Coupon ($15) and another Amazon Coupon from Holy Stone ($45). I paid $210 taxes included and free shipping. A great deal for this nice drone. I’m looking forward to flying my new toy. Thanks for the review Captain

Just received my HS720 today. I'm looking forward to flying it after finishing the FAA registration. My 1st drone to "putz around with" was a SYMA X5SW. No frills, but had fair camera. What an upgrade the HS720 is! Thank you for your great information and review

[@badapple65]

I’m falling into this Drone world hard. I know I’ll be owning multiple drones, owing multiple motorcycles tells me this about myself. It’s like a bag of golf clubs. Each has it’s own use and strengths. First drone coming snail mail from China now.

[@PennCentral99]

I was in the market for a drone, never owned or flew one. Wanting to learn as much as possible in order to figure out which one to buy, I came across your videos. After watching numerous videos on numerous brands (I also considered the JJRC and SJRC), I ended up buying this one. Amazon had it listed for $299. An on line coupon for $20 off brought it down to $279. I applied for , and was approved for the Amazon/Visa credit card, which knocked off another $100. Basically, I paid $170 for this drone. It arrived the other day and I've been out 4 times learning the drone and how to fly. I really appreciate your videos, they not only describe the drone and it's features, it helped with a short learning curve about drones and how to fly. I've used all the features (follow me, point of interest, return home, land, etc) and they all work great. Twice I have flown it until the battery gets low and it automatically returns home. I have landed it twice on my own using the joysticks. My only complaint (so far)......I have an iPhone 8 with an Otter Box, the holder on the handheld does not open far enough to get the phone with otter box into it. I have to remove my phone from the otter box in order for it to fit. I have had my kids (who are more tech savy than me) try and fit the phone (with case) into the holder, no luck. You would think that R&D would have though of this. It was registered today withe FAA as "recreational, modeler" use. Ordered another battery and san disk card. Thanks for your help.

[@TheCrazierz]

Same issue for my phone with case won't fit, have to remove the case to fit

[@badboytilltheend13]

just bought this 2 days ago. I tried it first day and it was good indoor and outdoor. I only flew it few mins each time. The next day I tried again with full batteries. First flight was good and then when I tried second time it started flying away. I tried to use the return home button and joy stick down but it didn't do anything. It kept on flying away. Not sure where it went and landed. I sent message to customer support and they were very helpful and are going to send another one for free and replace it. I do need to send all the remaining items back to them(controller, battery, and instruction). Lets see how the next one will be.

[@r.a.1626]

Thanks for the tour! Been a follower for a few weeks now. My very first drone was an HS700. It just flew away as it was landing, nowhere to be found. This looks a lot sharper and more fun to fly! But I can't get over that price point when you can get a Parrot Bebop 2 for less than that. At $150-$180, the HS720 would be a decent buy.

[@goldiegoldenbear7282]

Can’t believe the HS drone landed right on the pad and this is over 4 years old. Just purchased the 720g and haven’t flew it yet but I do have confidence in my purchase after seeing this. Thx for a great review

[@centralscrutinizer8344]

The controller looks identical to the one of the JJRC X11. And so does the battery. The difference is: 7.4 volts at 2800 mah for the Holy Stone. 7.6 volts at 3400 mah for the JJRC. If the dimensions match,there is a great opportunity here to upgrade the battery for the Holy Stone.

[@Fpsnut]

I own Bugs 4w (same as JJRC X11) and this to me looks like a re-skinned bugs 4w. Everything looks identical with a slightly different main body. No way this is worth $330.

A nice looking drone and a decent flyer, but that distortion on the lens...no way! A great starter drone though!!

[@chuckmorton5730]

The feature I discovered it has unlike many others is that it will circle a point of interest away from you. Most others will circle you or the transmitter location, but this one can circle a point where it is presently located. I thought it may have been a translation error in the written description but it is not. It has the capability of circling anywhere. Just be cautious of obstacles as it does not have obstacle avoidance, but you can stop it anytime with a tap on the phone screen. This drone flies rock solid and is quiet. Everyone from beginner to advanced flyers can have a use for this drone. It looks good flies well and has many features.

I fly an Holy Stone 120D. It's a level under this one. It's a blast. Similar controller. Mine doesn't have a display but it is rechargeable. Mine came with a FREE BATTERY card also. They sent it to the wrong address! It must've been the last one in the country because it took a solid month to receive the replacement from China. To keep me happy Holy Stone sent me a FREE HS165 drone! About a week went by, I contacted HS to inquire about the battery and all they said in the email was "to bare with us. We're working on it." Another week goes by, still no battery. But they sent me ANOTHER FREE HS165!! Now that's customer appreciation! Now my daughter and I fly together. Finally got my battery a few days ago.

Hello Captain! I took my hs720 out to fly, after not using it for about a month or 2. Upon opening the app, I found that it has been updated, now a simple one-step to "connect device", and now has a "find my drone" button! It might be my imagination, but I flew it up to 75 feet high in a 25 mph wind, and it seemed to hover even more stable than ever.

[@ferdinanda.7643]

I got this one a couple of weeks back, along with a spare battery, and am looking forward to some initial flights. Weather is crappy right now in Pennsylvania, but if you can fly in frigid Canadian conditions, I am going to get out there. I liked your two camera views, the drone and your head mounted camera.

I asked my cousin about this drone , and he had a friend that had it and this is what he said: Since most drones are GPS assisted flying, that one is a bit weaker when it comes to how they connect with GPS. My buddy crashed one on the initial flight was able to get it replaced and then that one was a flyway on the back the third flight, he said he wish you never bought it because he can’t get his money back out of it. Thoughts?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The only people that would ever have issues with such a drone are pilots new to drones. There is no such thing as a FLY AWAY (that is a term from way back in 2016 when GPS was new on a drone). What occurs today is a new pilot does a poor GPS calibration (so the drone things Home is elsewhere) or the newbie pilot flies beyond the battery power and the drone just lands itself as it runs out of power. Or the newbie pilot crashes it, then feels ashamed for doing some silly, hides the evidence and calls it a FLY AWAY. It's like in the old days when everyone who had a problem with their PC called it a VIRUS.

The video quality although tolerable is far from "cinematic" for those most concerned with video quality. The lack of a gimbal the lower video resolution and the lens distortion all overshadow any flying qualities this may have that exceed those of the Zino. If you're looking for a good selfie drone, the DJI Spark is currently being found here there and everywhere in the 300s and once again, this drone simply can't compete. From what I can tell, HS has missed the mark with this drone. If it's meant to be a flyer, it's too expensive and if it's meant to be a photography/videography drone it need better camera and stabilization hardware. If one can get this at 40% off (in the mid 100 USDs) then I think it's a great buy, otherwise, not so much.

jmpdgs agree. Similar price range to Eachine ex4 and jjrc x12 means it simply will not sell unless they halve the price. Zino is more expensive and has minimal features, and toy like build. So on price in a slightly different category. This is probably a better featured drone but camera quality probably is it’s main weakness at the price

Not sure what it was selling for when this review was done. But, I just got a lightning deal on amazon and paid $234 for it.

Captain can you review on potensic d50 drone please

[@ryanthelegendgamer6519]

I used to live in Montreal

[@mrcomedygenius7601]

Do suggest this drone or the bugs 7.

[@keitharoo1962]

I'm surprised that a drone of this quality has such jerky video. That is a deal breaker for sure.

[@christiantorres6250]

@CAPTAIN DRONE. which would you choose between the holy stone 720 or the mavaj mini fly more? Planning a trip to Virginia and want the best option.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

MAVIC MINI

[@shawngladding8196]

My first drone first flying it was magnificent. smooth . Sexy .love it bought on your review.cheers C.D

[@scottduchart5531]

Great Video. I just purchased this Drone and am very Happy with it. I wish I would have watched your video first as I would have been more comfortable with my purchase before hand. Very informative video

[@theviewchaser6718]

Wow its like bugs drone just dressed with a diff name

[@douginNC28139]

The controller appears to be identical to my bugs 4 controller.

[@craigbursey4359]

Have you had a chance to check out the new 720E with the Sony ies image stabilizer?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have not see that one

[@PlatinumState]

That video quality is ghastly

[@wanderer1955]

Ghastly?? You need new glasses🤓

[@jayr8632]

Is there a specific ad card you would use or choose to use with this? Any limit like storage size?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'd stick with a CLASS 10 Card at 16 gigs.

I bought 2 of these to work together to track and video our new commercial line of robotic mowers for large acreage based on several reviews. I have no explanation for the positive statements in this review. This Drone is poorly engineered and the folding arms simply snap off just in front of the hinge at the latch. In my experience all drone manufacturers exaggerate the battery life but 26 minutes claimed for this drone, well lets just say I wouldn't trust their fish or pecker size bragging much. Not a fan of the Drone or the company after an email to get replacement arms since neither one would stay in the air and both crashed on the way back to home after return home initiated by low battery 8 minutes and 10 minutes respectively and neither one made it home. If you want to buy from Holy Stone for some reason maybe the 700 but the 720 is a waste of money.

[@pranayjaiswal2178]

Would please suggest me what would you choose between HS270 & ZLRC Beast SG906Pro2
