Holy Stone FPV Drone with 1080P HD Camera for Beginner Adults and Kids, HS280D Foldable RC Quadcopter with Brushless Motor, Optical Flow, Tap Fly, Voice Control, Gesture Selfie, 2 Modular Batteries

The media could not be loaded. The strong feels like a DJI drone it does not have that cheap feel at all and the controller is pretty good quality also and I know they don’t include this in the product description but for the controller you need 4 AAA batteries and the drone takes the rechargeable batteries it comes with. I’ve only had this drone for two days. If you are a beginner or if you are buying this for your kid! This is a drone to buy!, for under $100 I would definitely buy this if you are a beginner, do not buy any other offbrand drone from Amazon the dirt cheap ones are basically all the same and they suck, so do not buy those dirt cheap ones, invest a little money and buy this one, and don’t even get me started on customer service! If you go onto the holy Stone app they have customer service on the app, and it is amazing 10/10! The warranty is great, if you have a problem with the drone, do not message Amazon about it! Because all they’ll do is tell you to return it and it takes a while to get a refund. But go to the holy Stone app. And they have customer service. That I literally messaged this morning. And said after I crashed it the right propeller doesn’t spin as fast as the other ones. And they were right on it and they said that they were going to send me a brand new one within 3-6 business days. So I’m just saying. Buy this drone. Because this one is almost close to a DJI. And the camera quality isn’t that bad but if you’re looking for a drone to get cinematic footage on, then buy a DJI drone, and the camera on this drone has remote angle movement and the stabilization on it is pretty good! So overall on this review, I give it a 10/105 STAR!

For a first time drone purchase I am extremely satisfied with this product. Easy to learn how to fly. Camera has nice video and picture quality. Easy to understand manual. Good video tutorials.The one thing that I didn't like was the handheld transmitter will only hold up to a certain size / width phone. My newer Samsung GalaxyS23 was to wide to fit in the spring loaded phone holder. I happened to have held onto an older Samsung that was narrow enough to fit in the holder, and had newer enough software to be compatible with the app. (The manual states your phone must have a 5.0 or higher version for Android phones, which my older phone was a 7.0 )I also tried using my new Samsung S9+ tablet to load the Holystone App on, and was disappointed to have my tablet tell me that IT wasn't compatible with the App. Not sure if this is because its a tablet and not a phone, or what ........Anyways , I still am enjoying my purchase of the HS 280D. For the cost, it is a great starter drone if you are looking for one as your first.Sincerely, Greg in NW Missouri USA

Exactly as advertised and then some. Another well made product from Holy Stone ideal for the novice to refine one’s skills and build confidence. For the price the stone is well equipped and roughed making it a true value-added craft. Bought this one as a gift for a 60-something new pilot and he is more thrilled then a 10 yr old!

I'm sure you're thinking," Oh my gosh this drone seems so great, and it is at an affordable price, and it has a 4-star review." because that's what we were thinking. However, you are dead wrong.DO NOT BUY THIS especially if you're a beginner. Got this for me and my son this Christmas. It worked fine for about 2 seconds. We checked, double checked, and triple checked the manual and did exactly what it said. However, it wouldn't follow the commands and just did its own thing. We flew this at the park with 8ft tall fencing. We pressed the land commands. NOTHING HAPPENED. It just continued flying off into the distance. Finally, we set off the emergency stop command and IT STILL KEPT FLYING AWAY. At this point we couldn't even see the drone anymore. Essentially, my 80 DOLLARS just grew wings and flew away into the big blue sky. This isn't a good look Holy stone. DO BETTER PERIOD. HEED THE ONE STAR REVIEWS.

The media could not be loaded. I have been flying and building drones for over 6 years now and the HS280 does not disappoint! Just buy it now before you miss out!I know that it is not a high power race quad but for brushed motors this thing is fire! Setup was a breeze as most of these are, however the app for Holy Stone is far more superior than most others I have used. The FPV feature works great over WiFi and has a low latency connection. I was most impressed with the picture quality of the camera, beautiful saturation for a budget cam and no jelly footage. The drone does not have a SD slot but records directly to your cellular device.Aesthetically it follows in the footsteps of the highest quality brands like DJI and I absolutely love the clean white on black look, reminds me of Star Wars storm troopers!It has 2 speeds, low rate that makes it extremely easy to frame a wonderful shot with the actuating camera capturing everything is too easy! For what it is this drone is a fantastic bargain, and at 150grams you do not need FAA registration, although I fly part 107 it is nice for others that do not.Already bought 2 more to gift to friends.Wanted to add that after flying for a while I wanted to check my flight time. These batteries are giving me a solid 18 minute flight each, very impressed with the flight time and service from Holy Stone!! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The price of the HS280D (less than $100) is very attractive. The brushless motors are very quiet. Comes with 2 modular batteries It also seems to be very quick. Nice looking drone and hovers well if there is no wind. This is the area I did not like. Any wind and the drone has a mind of its own. You can’t take your eyes of it or it could disappear. There are two speeds and you need to be in high to have any chance of getting back to your home base with some breeze. If you are looking for a beginner drone you are better off with a gps one. A least you can look at the phone for a photo. Flight time is decent.
