Just came across that video while looking for some reviews on HS. Thanks man, you saved me couple of hundreds! And thanks for the story of HS buying and reselling - that's always good to know

Thanks for this valuable information. Got mine for $139. Got it to do some bird's eye view recording of my RC boats and do LESS walking on the surf when looking for bait fish and blitzes.

Good review bro

Is there a video showing how to setup from start to finish including what should be shown when ready to fly

Thanks for the review, I just bought one on amazon for 128 bucks. I was looking at the mini 2se, but for the price decided to try this one just to get a feel for the GPS & longer range. The gimble is a bummer, but honestly, it was not much more than the tello, which is my first and only drone. looking forward to trying this guy out.

For the price, can you really complain about the gimbal? Nah. If you want it or need it, you just pay a bit more for another model.

If you buy a cheap drone then you'll get the functionality of a cheap drone. If your new to drones and buy someting like this there's a good chance it will put you off ever buying another drone. There's a very good reason why DJI are the market leaders by far.

Hey great job on this video but I would add that it looks like they have eliminated most of the fisheye effect which is a big improvement over some cheaper drones.

They are getting better.

This is the only holystone with good price ! The sjrc f5s pro plus is the same drone as this one but it as a 2 axis gymbal and more weight ! It costs 170€ in bangood (sometimes with discouts is 155-160) sso if amazon sells this one for 130-140 i guess is a good buy since we have better support than buying in bangood and warranty !

There was a coupon code and discount bringing the cost to $107 on Amazon. Unfortunately I missed that or from I heard they had that deal for only a few days. Cheapest price I'm finding is $200. Maybe I would buy it if it was cheaper, has a better camera with gimbal and came with 2 batteries. Not having a gimbal and video image quality I don't think it would work for me. Been looking at the Walkera 210T seems like that has better camera....so many decisions. Does anyone know of a drone with similar specs that has a gimbal and better camera, I want the long range like this in about the same price range?

25% coupon ain't working

EIS should have been included at the very least.

Just bought one for 120$ Canadian on Amazon!

So what about the bird drones and on and on how would one go about getting one of the bird drones

Was one of the lucky ones who got it for $80. At that price it's a great entry drone to the hobby.

No. It is a modified wifi to the co troller so it has a better range. It is the exact same drone as the contixo f28 pro but a different color and more expensive. I prefer the faith Mini as the camera is much better.

Fantastic review Jake really appreciate your total honesty. I have several very expensive DJI drones which are unbelievably great in all respects. I'm trying a couple of cheap drones like this for my kids but so far have not found a good inexpensive option that's stable, and is easy to fly with good software. Watching your film review, I would have been likewise very disappointed in this drone. REALLY Appreciate your saving me a couple hundred bucks on this one. For this price, I'd rather go another $100 and get a mini 2se which is flawless.

I bought it for $100 plus tax just today. It got delivered within a few hours. I only bought this to see if I really wanna spend the money on a real one. I do photography as a hobby and sometimes think that I need one. Some shots would just be much better. This thing is charging and I’ll give it a go tomorrow

This thing looks like crap! It's not stable. It's vibrating around. It's a piece of crap. I had considered this for an entry level drone. But after seeing your video. I'll save a little longer and get a DJI. Thanks! Thanks for saving me, $200! That really helped. I won't waste my money on this, POS. Maybe great for a 10 or 12-year-old kid? To play with for a day or two before they bust it. And $200 down the drain. As you know it won't be long. It's truly underwhelming compared to the, DJI, product line. They make the real things. From the entry leve low-cost version. To the commercial units with stratospheric prices. And so they are definitely not fucking around at DJI. They have had a consistent product line for many years, now. And devices that can be trusted that will, deliver. Entry-level toys not so much. But the DJI varieties are different. Even the least expensive model. How's a great looking camera. And no bullshit. Only 2.7 K? Oh well. That is completely adequate. And if somebody wants to contract to you. To do a drone shoot. You'll then later be able to afford a more, better, professional, model. And no need to shop and compare. These folks have it, down! By keeping it in the air. Though, I never cared much for the larger more awkward, Phantom, drones. Those were the first. But these more compact foldable's. Make so much more sense. When traveling. All the Phantoms are gone. As they look like the 1950s models. Not what you could call, sleek and compact. And only TV stations and law enforcement. Need the larger drones. The rest of us certainly don't. And that's a fact, Jack. So this was a great demonstration. Of a drone unit. Only built for, preteens. And teenagers learning how to drive. That want to experience crashing, first hand. And get the best footage with no broken bones or facial disfigurement's. Though, many of you would do well with some facial disfigurement. As long as your ass hole, is not, affected. I guess the Chinese invented these drones. Intended for spying. Seeing you have sex, etc. RemyRAD
