HS440 Foldable FPV Drone with 1080P WiFi Camera for Adult Beginners and Kids; Voice Gesture Control RC Quadcopter with Modular Battery for long flight time, Auto Hover, Carrying Case

Does this drone have GPS, brushless motors, or an ultra high res EIS camera? No! Is it fun? Absolutely!! The HolyStone HS440 is one of my favorite beginner/entry level drones. It strikes a perfect balance between cost and performance. It can be had below $100 too if you watch for discounts! I love the little carrying case it comes in. Also included with the HS440 are two 1900mAh 1S batteries, four extra props, two usb chargers, the transmitter, and the user manual with some battery safety pamphlets. I really like the case, It holds everything neatly and in place. I also appreciate the full set of extra props and extra battery. The transmitter runs on 3 AAA batteries and has a remote tilt scroll wheel for the drones camera which I thought was sweet for the price point. It's easy to trim the drone too if needed. The two included chargers are easy to use, plug in the batteries, on the usb side it has a red indicator light for charging and turns green when complete. It has relatively large brushed motors that give it surprising zip in high speed mode, and enough kick to handle mild winds with relative ease. It’s yaws are very snappy, I’ve had more expensive brushless drones yaw like an Abrahams tank in molasses… not this one. The battery run time is pretty spot on at ~20 mins under normal circumstances. If you fly it like you stole it or fight stronger winds it will drain faster. The App is intuitive and easy to use. I think it's cool how it tells you your total flight time and number of flights. The HS 440 is just plain fun to fly around. Decently agile, and the 1080p camera has acceptable quality. Be sure to throw in a micro SD card to save photos and videos in full res. Range is pretty good, It seems like the description is accurate. I haven't done a max range test yet, but for what I use it for I don't need too. I just like to zip around the yard with it and do some flybys, this would be perfect for a park flyer too! Do yourself a favor and pick this little gem up if you can, you won't be disappointed and will be pleasantly surprised by how much fun you can have with a brushed drone!

bought this drone to learn the basics of drone flight. loved it right out of the box. easy to control, easy to learn and easy to fly. camera works great. it’s not professional quality and not mounted on a gimbal but you can’t expect that at this price point. the remote control does a great job of changing the angle of the camera and it all functions great. the camera app was easy to download and figure out. it allows photos and video to be taken. using my smart phone as the viewer helps a lot. wish i had a set of googles but that’s nothing to do with the drone. the remote does a good job of controlling the drone and has a place to mount your cellphone. more range would be great but again at this price what are you expecting. it does a good job and i’ve flown it out of visual site before. it came back fine. it does struggle in wind. best to just keep it away when it’s strong enough to fly a kite. had a great few weeks with it playing and learning. then i had an incident. i took it up to our property to see if i could get an aerial view of the land. it did great going out and flew against the wind. as the remote battery failed the drone veered off course and crashed into a tall pine tree. i couldn’t climb up and couldn’t even tell which tree it was in. i had written this off as i couldn’t climb the tree and couldn’t recover the drone. fast forward 2 months. it’s a really windy day. i go to the base of the trees and actually see the drone sitting upside down on the ground. i couldn’t believe it. i removed the battery. cleaned the corrosion off the contacts and took it inside. i changed remote batteries, charged up the spare battery and took the drone outside. it still works!!! 2 months in a tree and this thing still functions great. i am currently charging the battery that was outside and all appears to be good to go. i can’t believe this drone still functions after all i’ve put it through. i will definitely stick with this company in the future.

If you've never flown a drone before this will probably be difficult for you to fly. The camera quality is bad. The app and controller work well and the drone is tough. It will not hover in place without trimming and the wind will throw it around. I would rank this as a good quality toy drone. Its fun to fly if youre familiar with drones, but if you aren't the learning curve is going to be frustrating.

I liked everything about this drone. Best, cheapest, easy to use quad copter out there. Lots of fun and doesn't crash into my living room walls or ceiling like the last drone I had did. I only have problems in strong winds. But that's the same for most drones anyway. Enjoy

Great little drone - should have bought the HS440S but not sure what to buy for my first drone. Had problem with it drifting on lift off - couldn't get it to just hover. Also wanted to know what would happen if it happen to fly out of range. So I contacted Holystone and received an answer 2 day later (was over a weekend). Answer was quick and to the point. The drift problem took a while to solve. According to the instructions, hold down the Trimmer button until a beep and then move the right joystick in opposite direction to the drift. Took a while to figure out that you can't leave the joystick to the side but need to move it back and forth from the center position. Each time you do this a beep occurs indicating that a position has been locked in so to speak. Anyway - to adjust drift follow the instructions but move the joystick from the center and back several times to stabilise the drone. Once that was done, I had a play - great for height and remained stable. Already considering buying another with GPS Purchased a second battery Takes great pictures. Love it

Super lightweight. Good for a day with no wind at all. Slightest wind means unstable flying.

I recently purchased the Holy Stone HS440 Drone as my son's very first drone, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! As a beginner, he was looking for a drone that would be easy to operate and help him learn the ropes of piloting without breaking the bank. The HS440 delivered on all fronts. One minor hiccup I encountered was getting the drone connected to the app. However, I must highlight the outstanding customer service I received from Holy Stone's support team. After a quick email, they guided me through the troubleshooting process patiently and professionally. Thanks to their assistance, I was able to get the app working perfectly, giving me access to the drone's live camera feed and various flight modes. To sum it up, the Holy Stone HS440 Drone is an excellent choice for beginners like my teen son. Its durability, ease of use, and responsive controls made his learning curve smooth. The minor setback with the app connection was quickly overshadowed by the exceptional customer service I received. If you're a first-time drone pilot looking for an affordable yet reliable entry-level drone, the HS440 is definitely worth considering!

The drone is perfect for beginners!! I am having a blast learning how to fly the HolyStone 440 drone. There is no gps so the skill you develop for stability is all your own. I think that flying my next one will be so easy. I had a problem with one of the motors and their customer service was very polite and quick in getting me the replacement part. Thank you guys, you deserve a raise.
