Excellent beginner drone! I have had 2 other drones, and they don't compare to this one at all! Good picture quality for the price. I can't wait to buy the next one and probably won't be switching brands after seeing this kind of quality from a cheaper model they offer. GREAT PRODUCT!

It is a really good drone if you accidentally hit something it will try to keep flying and the quality is HD. The drone flies good and it is loud enough that you know where it is but not to were it is annoying I have been flying this drone for 5 days and no problems the top speed moving forward is 23-25 mph and backwards it’s 30 mph it is a good drone for taking photos and videos with the follow me mode is ok but for me it locks on the phone that I’m using but not me the speed in follow me is slow about 5mph I wouldn’t recommend this if you are running or using follow me mode to follow you car when you are driving it I don’t fly it inside because it doesn't have obstacle avoidance I like the lights on it saved me many times from losing it. Anyways really recommend this drone it is the best for under 200!

This is a very good drone for intermediate pilots that is good for some people and bad for some people. But over all this drone is just so awesome I personally would recommend this drone to intermediate pilots out there. The only con is that the battery takes 3 HRS to charge.

The media could not be loaded. I received my HS270 drone as a Christmas gift and I’m still learning all the features that this Drone has to offer. First of all, it comes with the controller, a spare set of props, a charger cable and an instruction manual. The manual is informative but is kind of small. But you can go to the Holy Stone web site and download a copy and print it to the size you like. It would be nice if they included a carrying case with the drone but the box will work for now. Being that this is my first drone these are some of the thing I would like to point out. I find it easy to fly on a calm day but if it is a little breezy the HS270 drone does try to maintain its position but does sway quite a bit. When you link it up to your cell phone, you will receive prompts on the phone screen to calibrate the GPS receiver on the HS270 drone and it will notify you when it is ready to fly. I also find that using the hand controller and the cell phone controls work very well and I have had no problems with it so far. The HS270 drone flies very stable in the GPS mode but when the GPS is off, if there is any kind of strong breeze it is harder to control. The picture I received and recorded on my cell phone is very clear and the camera will try to adjust itself to varying light conditions that it is flying in. I also like the fact that you can change the angel of the camera lens while in flight. The only thing I don’t like about the camera is that it being a wide angle lens the picture seems to be curved a lot as seen in the picture that I have posted. I also like the feature that you can record sound while the camera is active but the pickup mike is located on your cell phone and not on the drone itself. Now that would be kind of neat if it did have a pick up mike on the drone itself. I find that the battery life on my HS270 drone is about 15 minutes and you start getting a low drone battery warning signal on your phone at about 13 minutes. The hand controller battery life is longer but I have noticed that even when you turn off the hand controller when you are finish using it and the battery looks to still have a good charge on it. When you go to use it again the battery seems to be almost dead. And you cannot use a portable battery pack charger while you are flying the HS270 drone. While the control is in the charging mode it cannot be used to fly the drone. So I have to make sure I charge the controller before I us it to fly the drone. So I contacted the customer support team at Holy Stone and explained to them the problem with my hand controller and that it was not holding a charge. They were nice enough to send me a replacement hand controller and it seems to be working fine taking and holding a charge. So I thank the customer support team at Holy Stone for their service and a quick replacement of the controller. The follow me mode works fine and when I used the return home feature, the drone landed a few inches from where it took off. All in all I think this is a great drone for a beginner and the price was very reasonable from Amazon.

I purchased an HS270 less than TWO YEARS ago. In early spring, I had gotten it out after having it stored away in a camera bag in my office since last year and both batteries bloated after I had charged them. I ensured they were put away without much charge, if any and have been used possibly 3 or 4 times total. The drone looks almost new but is useless. I contacted HS and they responded with:"I am so sorry to hear about your battery problem. But I am so sorry to inform you that we don't have the stock of the battery anywhere. Because this model of drone is a long time ago and is now discontinued"<2 YEARS is not "long time ago"! I spent over $200 for the drone and extra battery (which would not clip in brand new and they had to replace) and it certainly shouldn't be considered OLD in less than 2 years from purchase. Drones aren't exactly something that _most_ non-enthusiasts upgrade every few years unless you trash it or crash it.Seems they don't want or need repeat customers. It would have been a nice gesture to at least offer something like "Sorry, we are no longer supporting that 'long time ago' model but we'd be willing to provide an incentive to purchase a newer model". Not that I would have been that much happier, since the drone works great if it had a battery, but at least it would have shown that they cared about their customers rather than a short too bad email.BAD COMPANY and I won't be purchasing another drone from them. Posted a question, hopefully I can find somewhere for a battery otherwise, I have a +$200 paperweight. They could have at least made them so you could replace just the battery pack inside the battery compartment; however, then they wouldn't make more money of people.
