Pros
- Small folding drone for maximum portability.
- Weighs only 249 grams with battery. Does not require registration in most countries.
- Video signal is strong and clear, with minimal lag. It's very easy to fly this drone FPV with your phone.
- Highly accurate GPS/GLONASS system, provides rapid/accurate satellite lock-on. Drone will automatically return and land where it took off from on command, or loss of signal, or low battery.
- Optical flow system as backup hover system, or for quick takeoff use without GPS.
- Belly Time of Flight (ToF) sensors for very stable height hovering near ground.
- Brushless motors for durability.
- 7.7V 2250mah Li Ion battery provides up to 30 minutes of flight time (I got 21 1/2 minutes).
- Three axis stabilized gimbal provides very stable video.
- 1/2.3" Sony CMOS sensor camera takes true 4K video with resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels at 30 fps. Can also take 1080p video at 60fps. Also takes 48MP still photos at 8192x4608, or 3840x2160 pixels resolution
- High resolution video and photos are recorded to an onboard TF card.
- Controller does not utilize WiFi. Connection to your phone is through provided on the go (OTG) cables. The controller includes a built-in signal amplifier/relay that provides up to 4.5 Km control and FPV range. But remember that most countries do not allow you to fly at such ranges. In reality, this feature is meant to provide for strong control and FPV signals in areas of high clutter or interference.
- "HS Sirius" app provides FPV views, telemetry information, camera options control, and optical quick shot modes of orbit, rocket, and two different modes of optical follow me. HS Sirius app is available on Google Play here bit.ly/HS-Sirius and the Apple App Store here bit.ly/4doGlnm
Cons
- Drone does not have GPS waypoints flight capability.
- Optical modes can break visual lock on the desired subject. Make sure to double check that the subject is actually being tracked in the "green box" before activating Quick Shot modes.

It's a Walkera T 210. Holy Stone just rebranded it like they do the SJRC F22s.
Ok bud
Really love your videos
Why thank you!
love your reviews Sir.
Thank you!
Great video as usual.I have been subcribed for years and I always enjoy your video's. It is a nice little drone. That being said, The price for this drone is $469. The price of the DJI mini 2se deluxe edition is $379. with this DJI edition you get a bunch of goodies and an extra battery. The fly more combo for both drones are excactly the same $499. Now if Holy Stone added some obstacle avoidance and kept the same price ..now that would be something worth going away from an absolutely proven drone product, like the mini 2se. Yes I own a DJI drone. Quality, reliability, endurance, range, special features,. need I say more ?
Great job! Thanks for the great reviews. Can you try a walk up the hill in follow me to see if it will auto climb during follow me?
May want to do a distance test. This one was geared too much with line of site..
Great Video as usual. I don't see any mention of additional batteries. Are they available, and where to purchase?
I'll ask my sponsor.
Here's where you can get a spare. amzn.to/4dxFocA
Looks identical to the Walkera t-210 mini se,even the transmitter but no mention of the throw and go feature on the holy stone version.
I'm pretty sure that this is a rebranded, but updated version of the t-210. But the throw and go feature is not a good idea for a drone in this price range. A one time failure of that feature to operate properly could be very costly.
@@Quadcopter101 Trust me that feature works very well,i have both the t210 mini and the t-210 mini se on my channel,both have the throw and go feature and yours would be a rebrand of the se model,same transmitter too.
@@capeRCouple The throw feature has been removed, it's too dangerous for newbies
walkera t210?
How close was the RTH ?? Didn't see it on the video
It was over the pad. Sorry that I didn't show it in the video.
You say 5 miles away from the airport there but it's 5kms here in Australia. That's a dramatic difference in distance.
Each country is different. But it used to be only 3 miles here in the USA, until drones came out.
Here in Canada it is 9Km from an airport.
How close was it. Fimi x8 v2 is rite on every time
It was over the pad. But I agree, the Fimi X8 V2 is also an excellent drone, with optical precision landing capability. But the Fimi does weigh 765 grams and requires both registration and Remote ID if to be flown in the USA.

Question what happens when you are done using a drone
Donated in bulk to local schools and charities. And sorry, I don't have time to package sell or mail them.
Good review Jim. The drone has a lot of nice features, but video quality looks average, and it's a little pricey. Thanks for sharing.
There's currently a coupon box on the Amazon page for this that lowers the cost by $76.
Will this drone get waypoints?
I asked them about it. They said they had no current plans to include waypoint capability.
@@Quadcopter101 so it’s still a possibility? How bout returning to original starting point after quick shots? And cruise control?
@@Quadcopter101 Ty. Gonna return it and wait for the FIMI mini 3
I ha e the v2 mini
This drone is a Walkera Mini SE 😊
I was unaware of that particular drone. But checking into it, you may be right.
Checking into it further, it appears that the Walkera version had/has uncorrected app software issues. Holy Stone has app programmers on their team for their version of the app (HS Sirius). I brought up the negative altitude issue with them, and they corrected it with an app update within a week.
@@Quadcopter101 That's the first time I heard that Holy Stone has programmers? All their models are just existing drones they put their name (and price) on. And they were never any better or different. But maybe they have Walkera's phone number?
What is does mean is we can't expect real updates anymore. Walkera basically sold this drone to Holy Stone. It was supposed to be a follow-me drone with voice control. I did notice the Holy Stone app does have optical tracking. But no follow-me. Will drone companies ever learn? I have nothing against optical tracking. But it is NOT better than follow-me. A good drone should have both. Only noobs and people walking 2 steps in a field think optical tracking is superior.
Anyhow, I would be very surprised if there were any regular updates. Looks like Walkera gave up on this T210. Real shame.
@@Quadcopter101 And I'm also surprised you never heard of the Walkera T210. I thought you were a drone enthusiast? Were you locked up or something? I don't expect you to know every model on the planet. But like I said, this T210 was designed a follow-me drone. That's GPS. Not optical.
@@driewiel Yeah, the Walkera drone flew under the radar for me. I really wasn't aware of it. But yes, they did update the app within a week after I let them know about the altitude problem. So they do have some pull with the app designers.
First
And here is your shoutout. Unfortunately only one shoutout per winner. I'd like to increase the chances for everyone to get a shoutout.

Holy Stone badly needs to invest in better cameras. Even their most expensive models look washed out compared to the quality of DJI and Potensic.
Controller looks cheap.
DJI wanna be
„How many cheap copies of DJI Mavic drones do you want to produce?“
Chinese companies: Yes.
😂😂🤣🤣
Nothing wrong with competition. And DJI is Chinese also.
Looks like cheap plastic...This is an advertisement
So you're a plastic expert?
you're shaking like a leaf... check your blood sugar bro
Hi sir do you have Instagram?
Sorry, I do not.
