Holy Stone HS510 GPS Drone for Adults with 4K UHD Wifi Camera, FPV Quadcopter Foldable for Beginners with Brushless Motor, Return Home, Follow Me,2 Batteries and Storage Bag, Grey

This drone is a rebranded Bugs 7 so parts are easy to find for it! This drone itself flies well and it is very stable once it has a decent amount of GPS satellites locked. The optical flow sensor is hit or miss, the sensor is very small so it needs to be close to the ground and very bright outside to work.It's easy for a beginner to control in slow mode and get used to the controls, and the brushless motors means it doesn't have issues with the motor overheating like some of the other drones I have owned. The camera is passable, but since it doesn't have a gimbal or anything it's more useful just to see where you're going than doing any real photo or video work. The range is good too - the controller will control the drone farther out than the video can get sent to your phone, and it has a light on the bottom that you can turn on to help locate it if you lose sight of it. I have not had any flyaways or even close calls like many other drones I have owned in the price range.The only real downside I have found is that it can drift a little even when there are no control inputs, so it is not as stable as far more expensive DJI drones - but for the price it is great. Another con might be that the controller starts beeping once it is at half battery - but it is helpful to have the reminder that you should be turning around soon.**Edit to add: From reading another review, the drifting might be due to needing to calibrate the gyro, which is a procedure not in the user manual.About 6 months after I bought the drone the batteries stopped working because they had started swelling. I contacted support to check if the warranty might be longer for the battery than the drone. Even though it wasn't, Cherry sent me a new pair of batteries anyway. Their support is so helpful! (I had some issues with motors on a previous Holy Stone drone several years ago and they were happy to send me replacement parts then too, so it seems their support department is consistently great!)

I almost placed my order for DJI mavic mini, later cancelled and decided to try this one. I can say that I am pleased with the drone with this price.Runtime is more than enough for occasional flyers. The batteries can be left for charging together so no worries for switching.Camera quality is good. Takes clear photographs. You can see in the photo as the shingle are nice and crisp. The video is bit shaky while moving and not as smooth as DJI but again I am not doing professional videography so I get what I want. Overall I like the video.Its easy to handle. If getting good gps singal without much wind, it stay in the same spot even in little bit of windHave solid build as I dropped it twice from ~10ft and still flying like the same.Also, FREE CARRY BAG.Last but not the least customer service, I am very happy with them as I had a problem with my initial order. Contacted cs with problem and video of the problem and they were able to get the replacement delivered in two days. Way to go Holy Stone.I would recommend this drone for anyone who is trying their hands on drone and want a good quality. I saved some bucks and I am happy with overall quality.

This is my second drone, my first being a Mavic Mini 2 and think that it is much easier to use, set up and fly. I wanted a second one to travel with and this Holy Stone seemed check all the boxes that the Mavic Mini did with a couple of added features that I was excited about like the follow me and way point flying. On top of those two advantages, it was a fraction of the price and I could get two of these for the price of the Mini so I was way more comfortable to take it on the plane with me. First flight was a real learning curve because of the large differences between what I have gotten used to and this Holy Stone. It was not quite as easy to fly straight out of the box as the Mini, but with some time it proves to be a very responsive and amazing drone (definitely recommend starting in a much more open area than my yard and a much calmer day, I have way too many trees and winds were gusty up to 20 mph keeping me from flying too hi. First time I went above the trees, the drone started to drift away and took a bit to fly back, live and learn). It also proved its durability when it bounced off the side of my house while I was playing with the headless setting. Slight scratch, but fired right back up and flew with out any issues at all (I do not at all recommend testing this, just use me as an example that it is not always the end of the world when crash landing at low altitudes). Overall, I am very satisfied with this drone and cannot wait to get some amazing footage on my vacations with this. I would not be able to comfortably say it is great for beginners or easy to use sine I started with the Mini2, but at the price, it is a great one to try if interested. The remote is so much more satisfying than the Mini comes with though due to its size and dedicated status screen and I love the ability to control the drone with just my phone giving me the ability to hit the road for a day shoot with just the drone, extra battery and my phone. That alone makes this my go to for a minimalistic choice for some rides. Way to go Holy Stone.

Very nice to fly and easy to control. I had a little trouble right off the bat with not following directions and downloading the wrong app, not calibrating a GPS correctly ,and a few other little problems but after I got those straightened out the Drone seems to fly very well. I had an HS100 drone previous to this one which I managed to crash into a tree and Rec I never really got the hang of flying it as well as I would have liked to. This drone seems to fly very well and I don't have much trouble flying it and I'm an old man so I imagined a big kid or would have no trouble at all with it. The camera is very nice but like everybody else I wish it had a 2-axis gimbal on it but it's really not a big deal. the pictures are very high quality in any case. It seems to be a tough little drone and that's a good thing also it comes in a very nice case with a controller that's very easy to use. So far, I am very pleased with this purchase hope that this lasts for a very long time.
