This is a great and useful product. Read the instructions and practice before use. Key buttons are return to home and takeoff and land. Takes great videos and very easy to operate when you are familiar with the control locations. I use it to film roofs for damage. It’s stable and has a speed setting for filming video.

The media could not be loaded. This Is a great drone for a beginner or an advanced pilot. There are so many great features included. The setup and preflight are easy and once the app is started the wizard steps you through the process. There are also built in tutorials and a nice quickstsrt guide and paper manual. Once I had ran the initial calibration take off was simple. The flight controls were smooth and responsive. By default the flight controls are in beginner mode with distance limitations. Once you are comfortable with the controls the beginner settings can be disabled or adjusted. There are 3 control speed settings to adjust how fast or slow the drone moves in flight. If you’re new to drones gps is a game changer. GPS allows the drone to be stable and easily controllable not to mention you can track it if you lose it. The drone also has the ability to return to home and land with the press of the button, low battery, or if the signal is lost to the controller. One of my first flights it got alittle windy and the drone was compensating enough to keep its position and the app report a wind advisory and to fly with caution or land to avoid losing control of the drone. I had never seen any drone have that type of notification. Lastly the camera has great quality not to mention the ability to remotely adjust it up or down. I would highly recommend this drone to anyone looking for an easy to fly, feature filled compact drone.

This was my first drone so I don't have a lot to compare it to, that being said my only complaints are very minor. The instructions in the quick-start guide are mostly useless. Fortunately it also comes with a full users manual, trust me, go with that! Once you download the app and get it set up, follow the directions in the booklet and you will be flying in no time. So far I have enjoyed it and taken some nice pictures and videos. Have not really pushed how far I can get the drone away from the controller yet, but so far the range has been enough for my comfort level. I tried the return home button, it works, brought the unit back to about 2 or 3 feet from the launch spot. The camera is ok but not great, about the same as an older flip phone camera or a cheap digital unit from a few years ago. The picture I included was taken on my second flight, from about 100 ft or so according to the altimeter on the display (not sure how accurate that is yet) video quality is ok, don't bother turning the microphone on, just the sound of rotors and wind. Happy with my purchase so far, haven't lost or crashed it yet, but the day is early!! Charging the controller takes a few hours but lasts several flights. Charging the drone battery takes several hours and lasts around 20 min's or so of flight depending on how active you are on the controls. I live in south Florida, so it's always breezy here, seems pretty stable in flight with a mild wind, have not flown in heavy winds yet. The unit comes set in beginner mode (a good thing I think) that limits altitude to about 100 feet or so. Once you turn that off, you can set it to whatever you are comfortable with (within reason) and I have had mine up to 200 ft (according to the device) and had no issues controlling it or flying it, but the wind at that level that day made it hard to keep stable. More fun than I expected, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Going to be a useful tool after hurricanes to inspect my roof, since I am an old fat guy and not really wanting to shimmy my fat butt up a ladder! Happy flying!

The media could not be loaded. This my first ever drone. I'm writing this review after turning it on twice. I say turning it on because although I used it twice I don't really consider them uses. The first time I was a bit hesitant because it got dark by the time I was able to use it. But my anxiety to turn it on won over my fears. After a bit of fumbling around I was able to get it calibrated and the blades rotating. I like that once you press "Take Off" button it sits at a height that is not too high and not low and it just sits there without any inputs from the controller. I don't really think that you're flying this drone. Is more like positioning it. I mean once it's in the air you touch the controls, let them go and the drone stays there. You want to go higher? Just push the stick up until you reach your desired height and let go. Want to rotate? Push the stick in any direction and then let go once your facing the desired direction. The same with back/forth and side-to-side. Very, very simple. The drone just stays where you put it. Not flying, just positioning it.The FPV experienced zero glitches and the image was wonderful. I just want to mention that I forgot to remove the protective film on the camera lens when I recorded the two videos in this review. I'm nowhere close to considering myself a photographer but I feel the quality of the image is OK.The second time I turned it on (used it) was inside the house. Yes, my wife was not home at the time so I was in the clear. I could not get a GPS signal so I switched it to "Altitude Mode" so I believe it was using "Optical Flow" sensors to maintain position. It worked great and I was able to move it around the room with ease. This was early afternoon. Once the sunlight started really coming in it was causing heavy reflection on the floor so Optical Flow was having problems keeping the drone positioned while hovering. I was able control it while operating the controls but when I let go the controls the drone would lose control and not stay hovering in one place. It crashed a few times but nothing broke. Nothing on the drone nor anything in the room. This is why my limbs are working so that I may write this review. The only thing that happened is that a few props received very light damage.The only things I don't like are:1- The drone is not include in the comparison list on holystone.com. It lists the HS360 but not the HS360S.2- The props are not available on either holystone.com nor amazon.com3- holystone.com WhatsApp chat agent told me that the props for HS360S are not compatible with any other drone. Depending on the price this may be a very bad thing.4- Only one battery in the kit5- The batteries are too expensive.
