Holy Stone HS720R 3 Axis Gimbal GPS Drones with Camera for Adults 4K EIS; FPV RC Drone, Foldable Quadcopter with 10000 Feet Video Transmission Control Range, Brushless Motor, Follow Me, Auto Return

This is my second Holy Stone Drone and what a disappointment. My first Holy Stone Drone was the HS720E and let me tell you that drone was amazing for the price. Very responsive and easy to use. I thought from that amazing experience and all the fun I had with it that I would upgrade to a more expensive Holy Stone Drone with more distance, battery life and a better camera. I purchased the Holy Stone Drone HS720R and was very excited to receive it. But after receiving this Drone I calibrated it did everything possible for it to fly if not better at least like my first one. But regardless of what I did it just kept taking off and going to the left regardless of my commands and everything I tried. Recalibrated it again and took it out again on a beautiful day with no wind or weather issues at all. Took off and it seemed fine at first flying and responding ok but after maybe 7 minutes into my flight the drone once again began to fly left regardless of commands. The drone flew off left into the trees even after pressing the return home button and any other commands I tried. I was not able to find or retrieve the drone, still hoping to find it. I never had a chance to experience what this drone had to offer and very disappointing experience. I would have thought that with me buying a more expensive Holy Stone Drone I would have a greater experience. But that is not the case with this drone or maybe I was just unlucky to have gotten a defective drone. In any case I’m out of my money and a drone hopefully I will find it. Update: After contacting Holy Stone about my situation I had with my drone. They responded quickly offering me a full refund without any hassle. After seeing how great they treat their customers I will continue to buy Holy Stone Drones.

Just like many others have said, mine spun wildly out of control to the first tree at high speed and crashed. The second time it broke the plastic holding the camera. It takes off and hovers and then starts drifting in circles. At some point it loses any command and banks sharply and picks up speed. The "Return Home" button informs it to go as fast as possible and look for a tree to run into. Called the company with pictures and they said that I now have a parts drone for the next drone I buy from them. I used it twice with similar results. I even had the customer service agent on the phone while I operated it the first time. I spent 2.5 hours crawling through blackberry bushes to find it. This thing is the worst. Do not buy it. Unfortunately, the camera part is not available as a spare part and cannot be replaced. I'm sorry that we couldn't provide a replacement item for your order, because it falls outside the 270-day warranty period. We understand that this may be disappointing. As an alternative, you may consider purchasing another unit, and the original drone can be used for spare parts. Best regards, Customer Support

This is the second drone I've owned. My first was a very basic model drone, and I could never get the camera to work right. I saw the Holy Stone HS720R, and thought....why not?! =) First off, I've been delayed in flying the drone, and writing a review. I had to reach out to Holy Stone about getting the RemoteID for the drone. Their response was very quick, and they didn't even charge me for the RemoteID. Needless to say, I was tickled pink. Anyway, once I got the drone, I went online and got my TRUST certificate, then I had to register with the FAA. All of this took a while, but I finally got it finished, and got to take the drone out today. Stupid me...I thought I had a memory card that would work. I searched, and couldn't find one that had a lot of memory, so I didn't save any of the photos or video. But, I was able to see through the camera while I flew the drone. I have ordered a new memory card, and hope to fly the drone again, getting pictures/video next weekend, or over the Thanksgiving holiday. I'll update this review with new pictures. The drone is really easy to fly. I really liked that. The auto takeoff and landing is a nice feature. I don't really need it, but it does make thinks a lot simpler. The remote has really good signal strength, and I flew the drone for about 40 minutes...MUCH longer than my old drone that could only do 15 minutes on one charge. =) The drone was very responsive, and I had a really good time flying it. I do miss the old days, though, when you could fly higher than 400 feet. Oh well. I also have to be careful and keep my ears open because I live near a military base, and a small airport. While I am in between the two restricted airspaces, there is the occasional Cessna or other small craft that can come by. The F16 fly pretty low too, but I'm sure they are way over 400 feet. =) I am really looking forward to using this drone more. I can't wait to take it out to the AZ desert, and watch the folks in their side-by-sides or Razrs zipping through the desert. I'll update the review when I get a little more air time, and get my larger memory stick in. I definitely recommend this drone, though. From what I've experienced so far, it is a really nice unit. ****Update**** Received the memory card and was able to get pictures. Great quality, and easy to take with the buttons right on the controller. These shots are of the Blythe Intaglios, outside of Blythe, AZ.

Great little drone clear video and pictures. Farthest I could fly was about 1,500ft before signal started fading. Soon as it loses signal it returns as advertised. Battery last about 20-30mins. Stability is pretty good great for beginners.
