Learn To Fly A Drone Using A Mini Drone! And Why The Holy Stone HS210 Is The Best Beginner Ever!

[@afanofdieselengines675]

This little guy rocks! Trims out really well. No need to constantly chase after it to get it to hover. Just purchased a six battery set with a 6 way charger so I can spend more time flying instead of waiting for batteries to charge. Battery life is good too.

[@camdix3250]

I finally flew my HS210 for the first time two weeks ago. The thought of flying it made me very nervous, so I spent a lot of time going over and over the instructions to get completely familiar. I finally bit the bullet. Up and off it went! I had two gentle crashes and then full success!!! And it's all thanks to you! It's thanks to you because I purchased the HS210 after learning about it and the wisdom of choosing it from YOU. I can't express my appreciation enough. I'm in my 60s and when much younger I tried R/C airplanes. I had no success, partly because I"m not a fast thinker on my feet which inevitably ended up in crashes. The HS210 overcomes that with the altitude hold. You're not committed to be constantly flying forward, as you are with an R/C airplane. When learning, if you get slightly disoriented, you can simply stop and it will hover until you get your bearings again and then on you go. I can now take the HS210 off, fly around the room in various directions, land, take off again and so on. I was able to slowly bring it toward me and as I stood perfectly still was able to have the drone gently touch my nose, and then fly off and away again. Silly, I know. Flying it is so much fun!!! One last thing I want to metion is that you can adjust the TRIM on the drone!!! This is so, so wonderful!!! If the drone should drift a little in any direction when your hands are off the sticks, you can adjust that so it stays still in hover. Totally boggles my mind!!! Once again, I owe ALL of my success to you and the help you offered with this video. You have my most sincere thanks and appreciation. Best wishe to you!!

[@b4ugo]

thanks so much Cam, Ill be 60 in 2 days! I still feel like a puppy! Yes, its pretty hard not to have a big smile on your face when flying these micro drones, So many, spend Thousands on a drone without know the orientation, its a fun and safe way to learn! Ill tlak more about that in my next video tomorrow about when I go to Schools and teach.

[@geo7mad]

Hi, I have binged on your channel last night till around 1pm trying to do some research on beginner drones. I bought a sg907 max and crashed it a few time but luckily it is still in one piece. I took your advise and invested in a hs210. I decided to get 3 of them (1 for me and the 2 to be gifted) at 3am. Love your content and you just gained a subscriber in me. You are down to earth and truly understand the challenges of a greenhorned drone enthusiast. More power to you and keep up with this type of content. I will be watching. Thanks again for your advice(s).

[@b4ugo]

Thanks so much Geomad, i really appreciate it

[@t.harris4309]

Hey, I did the same thing. I got an SG907 Max also. Got it used ($100 with 4 batteries). Crashed it a couple times into some bushes but it's still good to go. I plan to also get one of those recommended smaller drones for training along with the SG907. I the meantime I'll be saving up for something better. I'm probably gonna have to get a decent DJI alternative because I livei near an Airport (Controlled airspace).

[@geo7mad]

@@t.harris4309 I got the same plan. Great minds think alike. Lol.

[@hopecamel]

Watching your videos I chose the hs430 as a first drone and through an email deal sending me a mini drone idk what yet I got it yesterday and either it’s super wind sensitive or I’m having trouble setting trim it just takes off but I’m still loving it. Glad to see your a native Texan to that’s always nice. Thank you for the videos they are helping me

[@b4ugo]

That is awesome! But yes, it’s not a GPS drone so if the wind is blowing 5mph it will blow away at 5mph if you don’t correct it. Kinda like a ball rolls downhill, lol. But it’s good practice with a little wind to learn how to correct it, thanks for watching

[@elbalserito009]

I want to start flying drones and was so confused, but watching your videos is giving me a peace of mind and I'm taking the time to make good decisions thank you so much

[@b4ugo]

Awesomeness Daniel! That’s my sons name btw!

[@小山正-l2v]

I bought HS210 then I bought HS210Pro then I bought HS340, I bought Kyosho Egg 1000HD and DJI Mini 2 in between. I am sure that HS210 is the best responding and good drone for beginners. I am practicing how to fly with my drones. Your reviews are very good to see for me. I have some worries about Holly stone drones sold in US are not sold in Japen where I live. Hope drone standards are settled all over the world. I only know about Japan but things may be different in other countries. I enjoy watching your reviews. Please review many drones.

[@b4ugo]

Thanks so much! So happy to see people are watching from other counties like Japan!

[@scrapguys3759]

Great info!! Got my HS210 comin Thanks

[@hummerzdca]

Hey, this is an impressive post talking about the HS210. I already fly the DJI Mini 3, and Mini 4 Pro versions, but have liked flying focused to get away from from things, I’ll fly this one in the house for fun. They don’t have any HS450 that I could find. Love your kind explanations as I’m looking to get others into it (like STEM) and need your methods to help teach them! Great job Sir!

[@b4ugo]

Thanks so much, I love going to High Schools (and middle schools) and teaching, the FAA has set this up several times through AUVSI, appreciate he kind words

[@kathyadams2670]

Great video! You are so good at explaining things and teaching us about how to deal with drones, etc. Keep up the awesome work and the videos coming! You ROCK!!

i am interested in starting with a starter drone. Thank you for informing me about the learning curve for flying properly.

[@williamcaldwell7167]

James, I really appreciate your reviews. I actually purchased a HS175D for my first drone. However, after watching your videos I took your advice and bought the 210. I’m glad I did. I’m getting comfortable flying the 210 before I take out the 175D. I’ll let you know how I do when I make my first flight with the 175D. Thank you!

[@b4ugo]

Yes nothing flies better than the 210, my dogs love it, I think I have given away more than 20 of them and every person enjoys them. Thanks for watching

[@TheCT416]

Exellent review. I bought the HS210 for my nephew who has been wanting a "pocket drone" for many months and gave it to him for his birthday. He loves it!

[@b4ugo]

I really dont think anything flies this well!

[@RCH6568]

Yes thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@SandiJayTO]

Brand new droner here. I'm starting off with a HS 110D which I picked up for only $28 so don't care if I crash it (hoping I won't). After that I have a 720. Bought these just for fun and pics at the lake. I'm loving your very informative videos, keep it up!

Crazy nice drone

[@chase1535]

Wow, i wish i would of found your channel earlier, for the last 2 months i bet ive bought a dozen or more drones, all different sizes, and ive learned the hard way.......got into drones on a whim on EBAY...bought a couple fairly expensive ones for $200-$250 for a beginner....the 175D, and the R11 Gim2, but then found out i needed a license to fly them, so i backed up, and looked smaller, sadly, alot on EBAY are junk for a beginner.......wish i would of seen your lilttle woops drones first, for $50+/- , bought the Neheme 330, and now the HS420, hopefully those are a good place to learn, tnx...all my mistakes add the $$$ all up, i could of bought a nice DJI, hahahahaa

[@b4ugo]

still a great way to get into the hobby, but, its a hobby that can lead into a great career very easliy!

[@ChiaoSkyWalker]

Thanks for the insights..im considering of getting to this hobby. Pls let me know if you have any old drones to sell with great camera quality. Thanks

[@b4ugo]

I pretty much keep one of each and give the others away, where are you located?

[@timdonovan8733]

Great review James, I like the way you explain the drones, the differences in drones & how they work. I am still in my learning stages & all though I’ve mentioned before that I was thinking of getting the HS210, I have yet to do so, but it is my next purchase when I can do it. Just too many other projects going on. Thanks again for a great review! P.S. when were you & Kathy planning your trip to Branson?

as always, informative, to the point, and helpful! :-) thank you!

[@b4ugo]

Thanks so much RJ!

[@camdix3250]

Thank you for this! I just discovered your channel here and have subscribed and just finished ordering the HS210. Yours is by far the best review of this little machine. Your advice, especially around how to start with buying your first drone (my situation) is excellent. You certainly know everything inside and out and your flight demonstrations are brilliant. Thank you so much for the help and advice you offer here. If I may, I'd like to ask a question please. With a more advanced drone that has a camera - does one HAVE to use a cell phone or "screen" in order to fly it? Is it mandatory to use the camera when flying it? Could one not just fly it by watching the drone from afar like you do with the HS210? Thank you again for all that you give us. Best wishes.

[@b4ugo]

Wow Cam, Thanks so Much! Almost all drones can fly without using the app of a device. In the begging its better not to look at the phone to see what the camera sees. Its better to learn LOS (line of sight) . Thanks so much for your kind words, means more than you could know.

I like the HS210, BUT, I have found an up grade from this one It is the Holyton Mini, HS320, It has modular batteries with up to 21 mi flight time. Check it out!!!!! Fly's like a dream!!!!!!

[@b4ugo]

I reviewed the Holytone 330, haven’t heard of the 320

[@paulinegovaert9034]

Hi James I've watched a few of your video reviews. I do have a DJI Mini3Pro but wanted more flight time in the house and back yard, so I got the HS210 and the HS260 for outside. I have 2 emails out to HS because the 1st time trying to use the 210 .... well I haven't got in the air yet and wondering if you ran into this problem. New battery in remote, and charged battery in drone, I went to pair it, flat surface drone facing away etc ... They would not pair. Drone flashed red/green, remote turned on at the pairing the remote started beeping then beeped really FAST and red light flashing really fast ... the drone finally timed out and no pairing. I tried with all 3 batteries, same thing. I think my remote is the problem. Anyway waiting to hear from HS. thanks for listening!

[@b4ugo]

No, never heard of that, you are going up and down on the left stick to bind the remote to the drone?

[@paulinegovaert9034]

@@b4ugo yes did that but not to worry HS replaced the unit with a new drone package that is working fine 🥰

Hi. I have been viewing many of your videos on mini drones. What is your preference regarding HS 430 vs 4DV9 ? I am also interested in the DEERC D20. How about flight time on 1 battery and outdoor stability?

[@b4ugo]

Definitely the 430, better flight time and the camera is really good for pictures

[@adoannie2642]

Thank you so much for all the info you're providing regarding which drone to buy. I WISH I had found you earlier this a.m. for I've spent most of the day researching drones and trying to figure out what would be the best beginner drone. I watched and watched and watched reviews and videos and finally decided to pull the trigger on one. I even ordered it but something led me back to You Tube and, voila, there you were! So guess what? I'll be taking back that other drone I ordered and I'm ordering the HS210 as you recommend. :-) I'm definitely a subscriber now thinking maybe I'll advance to stepped up drone after learning the easier one.

[@b4ugo]

Thanks so much, I have given away 30 HS210’s and everyone really likes them. I dont think there is a mini drone that comes close to how easy it is to control

I can't decide, is it worth to buy 340 next to 210 and 430, what you think? Thank you very much in advance ❤️ Sorry for my broken English, I am Latvian, watching you from England, UK :) . Later, after getting more experienced, I looking for HS710 :)

The 430 is just a better drone because its the newest, it flys twice as long and has a really good camera. I would definitely go for that one. Thanks for watching

Your welcome sir!

[@daveboyer1966]

Very helpful, I posted this yesterday on a couple of FB pages and got a lot of advice. Your video was one of the posts. I'm here for some advice. I have followed this group for awhile but do not yet have a Drone. So I think I want to take the leap but don't want to spend a grand on something that I end up not really getting into. I saw an ad for a EXO X7 Ranger Drone and given the less than $400 price I thought maybe it would be good for a first drone. Learn to fly it, see if I am into the photography thing without spending a bunch of money. Then I read reviews and decided maybe not. Now I am looking at the DJI MINI 2? @ around $600 I figure still not too bad and won't feel horrible if I don't get into it or if I fly it into the ground. 😳. Anyway, looking for any advice I can get for what to buy as first-time drone. Ease of use, and any information on things to consider, insurance extended warranty extra batteries? What do I need to get started for under a grand? Thanks in advance for any help.

[@b4ugo]

I think the DJI MINI SE is way to cheap, lol. They should sell it for more. Nothing really even comes close for $300, thanks for watching!

[@SandbaggerJoe]

Is the HS420 ok to replace the out of stock HS450

[@b4ugo]

yes, but check out my latest video on the Holytone, its barley over $20 and is a blast to fly

[@macmund]

Thank You. Any other HS option aside from the HS340 for pre flight practice? since in the Philippines we dont have that unit.

[@b4ugo]

Let me look at Lazada, I think the HS210 is available there, I am so impressed how many of my views come from your beautiful country, they must love drones there! Looking to help a young KZbinr there soon

[@macmund]

@@b4ugo Holy Stone and DEERC have an official store in Lazada when I checked. Since I am gonna practice with the 420 I ordered from them. Waiting to arrive. Plan to get th HS440 as a next step up. Reason is no gps still easier to setup for quick shots using the 1080p and has an SD card. I am not surprised that many watch your videos from the Ph. Many want to have a drone. But when I watch your videos it made sense to practice first than mess up a higher end HS drone. Really appreciate your tips and experience.

[@xVFTx]

Is ocusync on the DJI mini 2 worth the extra cost over the SE? Great video btw

[@b4ugo]

For your fist drone no, its barley noticeable. That’s kinda like asking should I get the 2022 Corvette because it has 800 horsepower versus 750 for last product. They are both more than you you will ever need for 90% of the people out there

You said that the HsS210 is the best drone for beginners but what if you compare it to the Holy Stone HT02? Which is better? i really don't care about the camera. I just care about how precise the controls are, how tight the flip is, a longer battery life and durability.

[@b4ugo]

Ive never flown the HT02, I did the HS190 that was similar, I like the HS210 way better, but, I do like the Holytone 330 because it has modular batteries
