The HS290's battery life is impressive, allowing for extended flight sessions without frequent recharging. Additionally, the drone's design is sleek and durable, with intuitive controls that enhance the overall flying experience. Overall, the HS290 offers fantastic value for its price. It's a reliable and high-performing drone that has exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch aerial experience!

Good slight issue like it is in the advert great stability good for beginners .i would say that the camera can lag greatly and makes it hard to fly good value for money and has a great battery life . The flip button is very fun to use and when the camera doesn’t lag it makes a good photo

Initially, great small drone. Easy to use and lots of fun. But second day of use the drone lost responsiveness, flew high, wouldn’t respond to the controller, flew very high and was then lost. Camera connection to the app was also poor.

It super nice it come with all you need to fly it the camera it good and Beginner friendly it a good price

This is a decent little drone for the money, but it’s definitely more of a kids’ toy or beginner drone than something for serious drone enthusiasts. The drone is lightweight, easy to set up and fun to fly. I liked that it comes with two batteries, a carry case and spare propellers, so you’re ready to go straight out of the box. Battery life is around 12 minutes per battery, giving roughly 24 minutes in total if you use both batteries, which is reasonable for the price. On the downside, the camera is fairly basic and the footage can be quite shaky as there is no image stabilisation. It also struggles in windy conditions due to its light weight, and the lack of GPS means you need to be careful when flying outdoors. Overall, it’s a good introduction to drones and a fun way to learn the basics without spending a fortune. It has its limitations, but considering the price, it’s hard to complain too much.

I bought this for my son’s 10th birthday. It’s an excellent drone, and very easy to fly thanks to the automatic takeoff mode. It’s fun For both children and adults to fly, and is excellent value for money. If your main purpose is to take video or photos, then this probably is not the drone for you as the video / photo quality is not the best. I’d recommend looking for a 4K camera drone in this case. For flying around and having some fun, this is a super drone for the money. The flying range is great too, at near 100m.

Incredible! Bought this for my 9 year old nephew, he loved it! I loved it! We crashed it several times into trees whilst learning how to fly it and it was totally fine, it even fell through a tree and recovered itself and didn’t hit the ground! Haven’t tried it with a phone attached to the controller yet but for £40 it’s absolutely banging! (Was on offer)

As a relatively new drone enthusiast, I logged countless number of research hours scouring the net for the best beginner drone at the right price point with advanced functionality to keep me entertained as I develop my skills. I luckily landed on this HS drone package and I'm extremely happy with my purchase! From the minute you open the box with it's minimalistic packaging, to it's well designed bag with sturdy safe foam housing, this drone is super easy to get up in the air in a hurry. Whether you use the GPS auto return feature or the altitude mode to start your ascent, this drone is sleek and easy to maneuver. The follow me GPS feature is super cool (works much better outside) and the drone was able to hold it's own even in windy conditions at the beach. Camera resolution is great with 1080P and I only wished it had an adjustable lens, but for the price point I get it. The remote is sturdy and compact with my phone well secured with the adjustable grip. The ergo handles made it easy to hold. The flight time using both batteries is as advertised 13+13=26 min. Even after crashing it a couple of times, while testing the kill switch, the drone is super durable and barely scratched. All in all, the drone is definitely giving you bang for buck and I'd highly recommend it for beginners or more advanced users.

After researching several different drones, i decided to buy this one, the Holy Stone HS110G.... it was given as a gift from my mother to my son. The directions and assembly were decent and easy. I love the fact that it has a return to home feature, and Auto takeoff and landing. My son is 10 years old, and this is his first drone. The app is simple to use, and the picture quality is great. CONS: My only complaint so far is the batteries..... the kit comes with 2 batteries, which have approx 10-13 min of run time each, which is not horrible.... but to charge the batteries, they need to be in the drone.... the drone is the charger. This is very inconvenient. I saw on Holy Stones website that there is a Charging Hub, with room for 2 Batteries, but Amazon says it is Unavailabe, and not sure if it will become availabe. I noticed that other models offer a USB plug port on the battery itself, this is not an option with these batteries. Overall, i feel this is a great choice for a kid/teen/adult first drone.

I recently purchased the Holy Stone HS110G as my first drone. I researched as best I could and there seem to be several good options. For around $150 this seems to be a very good option. I've flown the drone a few times and here are my thoughts: Pros: - The drone has many videos to demonstrate how to fly the drone (HolyStone and YouTube) - The iPhone app and instructions work well setup for controlling the drone - The drone has a "Beginner" mode that limits the height and distance of flight - The Auto-takeoff and Return to Home work amazingly well. The drone will land within 3' of where it took off. - The video/pictures are pretty good quality (1080p) - again $150 - you're not getting all the bells and whistles - The drone comes with 2 batteries and spare propellers - Customer service is pretty good, you usually have to wait a day between emails, but they do respond and do try to be helpful - It was easy to fly in Beginner mode and you can gain flying confidence using this mode - It flies well even in 5-10mph wind Cons: - The batteries take about 2 hours to charge with the USB cable. Flying time is around 13 minutes per battery - My camera won't record to the SD card, I've emailed Customer Service and they are sending me a new camera. I'll update this review once I receive it. It will record (not as high quality) videos and pictures to my iPhone. What I have learned is the MicroSD card needs to be Class 10 and formatted as FAT32 to work - The drone doesn't come with a case any longer. You need some kind of case/box to transport and store the drone Everyone says and it's true, learn to fly the drone in a large wide-open space (without trees). I have been to a sports park with baseball/football fields and a school field. This is not a drone for children. I'm very happy with the drone as my first drone, it's easy to fly and Customer Support is responsive. I'll update this post after I try some of the other advanced features like map mode and follow me.

This is a very good basic drone, and would be well suited to someone who wanted to learn the basics without risking a high-priced, more advanced drone. I'm actually surprised at how many high-tech bells and whistles are in a model in this price range. The GPS in particular seems to function very well, it will hover quite stably even in a slight breeze, which is a revelation to someone like myself, whose previous drone experience was mostly with cheap non-GPS toy grade drones. Altitude hold also works well. When used in conjunction with the (free) app, you can access features like follow me (which I tried, and it works pretty well), circle mode, and waypoint navigation. The FPV WiFi feed to your phone looks very good, better than I was expecting, and the video gets recorded to your phone, as well as to an SD card in the drone. The 1080p camera quality is adequate, but nothing outstanding, so don't expect cinematic professional footage; good for this price range, though, and you can still get some pretty nice shots with it. The drone comes with a really nice zippered nylon carrying case, with foam inserts to securely hold the drone and its accessories, which is extremely useful, and unexpected at this price point. The physical design of the drone is very, well, drone-like, the sort of Phantom-esque shape that the general public tends to picture when they think of a drone. The size and shape actually remind me of the venerable old Syma X5C, if you're familiar with that one (but this one has vastly more technical features). The transmitter is different than what I'm used to, it's not the video game style that many inexpensive drones use, but a more professional looking design, with fold out grips and antennae (though I'm not sure if the latter are functional, or just for show), and clearly labeled buttons for the various functions. The drone is very responsive to the controls in flight, and is a lot of fun to fly. When video is recording, the control emits a low beeping, which I have read annoys some people, but I rather like it, it reassures me that I've remembered to start recording. I haven't had a chance to extensively test every feature, but so far I'm very pleased with this one. As someone whose previous drone experience was mostly with cheap, toy-grade stuff (and having been away from the hobby altogether for a couple years), I am pleased and surprised to see how many of the features of the more advanced drones have filtered down into the lower price ranges, and this company in particular seems to be very good at incorporating those features at a quite reasonable price point. I'd recommend this one to anyone who wants to get their feet wet in the hobby, without breaking the bank.

I really loved how easy this drone was to learn to fly. It does a lot of the work for you but when you take the controls, it works really well. I was disappointed in the battery life, about 20 minutes which is the main reason I took off stars however, I must not that I was flying in windy conditions, so I think perhaps the drone was working harder thus draining battery more. Also, they do give you 2 batteries to give you more time to fly. So basically, take my 3-star rating with a grain of salt. The only other feature I was not completely happy about is the phone holder. I have an iPhone 10 which is a pretty common phone in use and of course I have a rhino case on my phone to protect it, again pretty common. The phone mount on the drone remote doesn't really hold the phone in place properly and it wants to fall off if you have a protective case on your phone. Those are literally the only issues I had as a completely new drone pilot. I do recommend the drone to anyone starting out. Lastly, I did crash the drone a couple times and it is sturdy! No issues with breaking or losing parts!
