The general build quality of the HS720G is nice. I like the folding mechanism, but ground clearance could be higher. If you want to take off from grass, the gimbal will have problems with initialization. For your safety and that of the drone, avoid flying near or over obstacles, high-voltage power lines, crowds, trees, water bodies, and airports.

This aircraft has been equipped with high quality brushless motors. It flies powerfully, can hold well in the wind and the battery lasts longer. Other benefits of brushless motors include minimal need for maintenance. They don’t overheat so they can last a long time. The upper right-hand side has the “power” button, and underneath it is the “return to home” button. On the side of the remote is the GPS button (ensure that the GPS button is switched on or else Attitude hold and return to home will not be possible). Camera functionality is extremely limited and image quality isn’t great, so it’s unlikely to be a drone that will fulfil your photo and video needs for long. But what it does provide is a cost-effective way to get to grips with drone controls and flight without the risk of damaging a much more expensive model.At the front is a camera; it is motorized in that it can be tilted remotely using your right thumb. It is not, however, on a gimbal –instead that mechanism is on a dampening mount to absorb some of the drone’s vibration. The camera is significantly more capable than other drones in the budget category – as you’d hope since it is at the higher end. Unlike many, the drone offers some limited manual controls, over ISO (100 to 1600) and White Balance. Both default to Auto, but it is good to have some control (if only to dissuade the drone from applying auto during a shot). Starting with 31 December 2023, the MINI 4 Pro (and probably Mini 3\Pro, Mini 2\SE) will not be able to…

Holy Stone HS720 Drone Review

It takes decent footage with no distortion. Besides, the high-resolution camera is able to capture footage in vivid detail. With a wide FOV of 120 degrees, an adjustable vertical angle of 90 degrees, you can get the best view in your footage all the time. Charging the batteries can happen at once.

One-key take-off and landing can be expected as standard for all but the cheapest drones these days, but the HS720 drone does so smoothly and steadily.This function enables steady hovering so that you can take distortion-free photos and videos. You will know where your drone is all the time, something that enhances the safety of the aircraft. Tap to fly Like many low-cost drones, the HS720G comes with three autonomous flight modes; these flight modes are probably one of the reasons drones have become so popular, as they are fun to play around with. There are a lot of copy cat apps designed to operate Holy Stone drones, this is the link to the genuine Holy Stone apps. Another downside is that there seems to be no accessories for this aircraft. Take good care of it because it is hard to find spare blades or spare anything. Also, the accessories of the closely related models from the same brand name do not work with this one. Long flight times over 25 minutes can be had, thanks to an intelligent, high-capacity battery. Flight Control
