Holy Stone Drone with 1080P HD Camera, HS430 RC Aircraft Quadcopter with WiFi FPV Live Video , Circle Fly, Throw to Go, Toys for Adults or Beginners, 2 Batteries 26 Mins, Easy to Fly, Black

I am a new Drone user so this is from someone that has never controlled one before and also I am old, over 70 years so I was not sure which drone was best for me. I wanted one that was simple to learn,fpv-wifi, live video, ability for photos and a solid build as I was sure that I would crash many times. After looking at 100 or so ad's I decided that Holy Stone HS 430 would be a good choice, price, build, and company reputation as they make high end drones down to mini ones.When the drone arrived it was shipped in a bag, no box, so I was a bit concerned of damage. No worry as the drone was in a plastic like container and protected inside the bag. Opening package I was a little surprised at the size (its a mini drone) but the drone is made with very high end armored type plastic and comes with all the listed parts. I read the complete instructions, charged the battery's' lined up the drone and off it went. I crashed 3 or 4 times in a row but the drone didn't have any damage. The battery kept a charge for my first outing 1/2 hour and maybe 10 total min. of fly time. The controls were perfect, No damage at all to the body or blades.Picture on my phone was very sharp, and the app was easy to download and use. For the price and the way this thing is constructed I would say its a super deal for a learner drone and one that would be fun for a seasoned operator to play with.Being new, I was pleased at the lift off and really surprised at the speed this thing has. The control's work good, the operator not so good, but I am looking forward to getting better at flying.In summary this is a good deal, a strong body, great instructions, motors seem to be really good, Live video is really clear and sharp. I have no bad things to say about this drone. Looking for a mini drone you wont go wrong with this one.

I am at this point an "advanced beginner" with drones. Had a couple toy ones, Bought this HS430 (and a HS720G) to up my game. I am using this model (HS430) to train before flying the more expensive drone in surveilling our homestead.Pros:Easy to flyStable once you get it trimmedCan handle a slight breeze well for mini droneResponsive controlsBig enough for outside but small enough for insideNo FAA registration required.Sturdy- survived losts of crashes into walls ( I said I was using this for training 😎)Cons:No case - (I really wish they had included one)Tail light could be more visible.Lost remote signal and started drifting away at about 120 feet distanceNo return to home feature/buttonAbsolutely NO information in the manual about the HSFPV phone appGood drone but could be better. Fine for my training purposes.Aside from not having a case, this is a great value and highly recommended for adults learning.

I enjoyed flying the drone a lot in my backyard a lot but I noticed a few mishaps and problems with the drone and controller.I noticed there was a gear on the controller and when I attempted to spin it, It was stuck.Also, the Altitude Hold feature, did not do its job and the drone was starting to drift down during flight which forced me to have to bring it up about every minute.Also, the 360 flip function would not operate completely.Though the drone is still impressively nice!It is easy to control it and I enjoy the experience of flying it. It has a great camera that can change angle! Also, the drone has some very interesting features:• Gesture Control• Voice Control• Auto Take-offAnd lots more to discover!

It is not a high end drone. It does fly, so far just in the house, had a lot of wind lately. Picture quality not sure of yet. So far if it gets 8 to 10 feet in the air, not very stable, tends to wander erratically

Got this while it was on sale since it seemed like it could be a good deal. The thing itself is about the size of your fist, the remote is made of truly the thinnest and cheapest plastic I have ever felt. Got the app and loaded it up, it uses WiFi to connect to your drone so the range is extremely limited and you can’t use your phone at all while your drone is being used since it’s the only connection.The camera resolution is accurate, but they don’t mention that it has a refresh rate of about 4 frames per second making FPV too nauseating to use. Brought it up to fly and it drifts so hard that to try to keep it still you’re moving the joystick about halfway through its range to keep it still enough to get a picture that isn’t blurry. After about 30 seconds of flying and trying to balance it, even with it only being about 20 feet away from me the drone lost connection and slowly drifted away.Absolute waste of money even on significant sale, just don’t buy it.
