Who else starts by going right to the end to see the weight, before watching the rest? Over 250g? I'll keep to my Phantom. Cheers for always putting that section in the same location in the video, it makes things a lot easier :)
I just bought it last night. I took advantage of an Amazon flash deal (20% off), a clickable Amazon Coupon ($15) and another Amazon Coupon from Holy Stone ($45). I paid $210 taxes included and free shipping. A great deal for this nice drone. I’m looking forward to flying my new toy. Thanks for the review Captain
Just received my HS720 today. I'm looking forward to flying it after finishing the FAA registration. My 1st drone to "putz around with" was a SYMA X5SW. No frills, but had fair camera. What an upgrade the HS720 is! Thank you for your great information and review
Can’t believe the HS drone landed right on the pad and this is over 4 years old. Just purchased the 720g and haven’t flew it yet but I do have confidence in my purchase after seeing this. Thx for a great review
I was in the market for a drone, never owned or flew one. Wanting to learn as much as possible in order to figure out which one to buy, I came across your videos. After watching numerous videos on numerous brands (I also considered the JJRC and SJRC), I ended up buying this one. Amazon had it listed for $299. An on line coupon for $20 off brought it down to $279. I applied for , and was approved for the Amazon/Visa credit card, which knocked off another $100. Basically, I paid $170 for this drone. It arrived the other day and I've been out 4 times learning the drone and how to fly. I really appreciate your videos, they not only describe the drone and it's features, it helped with a short learning curve about drones and how to fly. I've used all the features (follow me, point of interest, return home, land, etc) and they all work great. Twice I have flown it until the battery gets low and it automatically returns home. I have landed it twice on my own using the joysticks. My only complaint (so far)......I have an iPhone 8 with an Otter Box, the holder on the handheld does not open far enough to get the phone with otter box into it. I have to remove my phone from the otter box in order for it to fit. I have had my kids (who are more tech savy than me) try and fit the phone (with case) into the holder, no luck. You would think that R&D would have though of this. It was registered today withe FAA as "recreational, modeler" use. Ordered another battery and san disk card. Thanks for your help.
I looked in the quick start guide and the actual manual and couldn’t find the instructions to calibrate the Gyro... I was so confused as to why this drone didn’t have a Gyro Calibration, it was 3 minutes and 4 seconds into the video my mind was put at ease. Subscribed.
I got this as a first drone. It is fun to fly. Learning how to get the best possible footage out of it in spite of its beginner's shortcomings will be fun!
It hovers even in strong winds, although gust will make it waver but it will fight to keep It's position. The camera is excellent. I used it to check the roof and gutters over my house this spring, saves having to get up on the roof.
Thanks for the tour! Been a follower for a few weeks now. My very first drone was an HS700. It just flew away as it was landing, nowhere to be found. This looks a lot sharper and more fun to fly! But I can't get over that price point when you can get a Parrot Bebop 2 for less than that. At $150-$180, the HS720 would be a decent buy.
I’m falling into this Drone world hard. I know I’ll be owning multiple drones, owing multiple motorcycles tells me this about myself. It’s like a bag of golf clubs. Each has it’s own use and strengths. First drone coming snail mail from China now.
I watched like 5 videos about this drone before but yours was the only where i knew that you can fly a drone, film a nice Video and cut a nice video. Zhanks bro
So, you sold me... This is my first drone. Your videos are informative and entertaining. An as a additional purchase, I bought a Captain Drone Hoodie... Keep up the great vids. Cheers
This is a great drone, well made and affordable. The camera has a bit of fisheye effect but for the money it is very good. There are adjustments you can use and the auto features work well. The only problem is the buttons for the shutter and the high/low are hard to reach if your phone is mounted as it sits close to the controller. I leave my phone off the controller in the shade because the essential the controls are on the controller anyway. Holy Stone's support is very responsive as well.
I fly an Holy Stone 120D. It's a level under this one. It's a blast. Similar controller. Mine doesn't have a display but it is rechargeable. Mine came with a FREE BATTERY card also. They sent it to the wrong address! It must've been the last one in the country because it took a solid month to receive the replacement from China. To keep me happy Holy Stone sent me a FREE HS165 drone! About a week went by, I contacted HS to inquire about the battery and all they said in the email was "to bare with us. We're working on it." Another week goes by, still no battery. But they sent me ANOTHER FREE HS165!! Now that's customer appreciation! Now my daughter and I fly together. Finally got my battery a few days ago.
Great Video. I just purchased this Drone and am very Happy with it. I wish I would have watched your video first as I would have been more comfortable with my purchase before hand. Very informative video
Another great review Capt, thank you. My first drone was the HS700 and it’s still my favourite so far. Their customer service is outstanding. I really can’t wait until HS finally produces drones with 2/4K video and 3 axis gimbal. On an aside, your merch section is advertising a mug as a T-shirt. You might want to look at that b4 someone has a moan 🙄😃 Thanks again.
CAPTAIN DRONE The first picture on your merch page is def a mug, listed as type 1 T shirt? I’ve screen shot it but dunno if I can send it to you via YT? Pat
just received mine today. Just getting into the drone scene and am pleased with how user friendly this unit is for a beginner. Was up and flying in 5 minutes after opening the box. Very stable...
@@chrisdwyer1477 I was also surprised at how jerky the video was plus the lens is very wide angle so there is a lot of distortion and the colours looked way off! Dissapointing compared to Mavic Mini!!
@@mpcaz can I ask, is there a different model between 2k or 4k? From my understanding is that video caught through the app would be 2k but on a SD card it would be 4k? Do I understand this correctly?
I’m on my 4th drone now, I lost my holy stone 440 and it got blew into the tree tops yesterday🥲 Thanks for such a good review man, this will be my next purchase
@@rogerthat.9105 Lived in Los Angeles my first 30 years. Once I visited the North East, I decided to move. Got bored of warm/dry weather year round, its nice to have variety and seasons (am in Brooklyn), though at times after a few months of winter, you're desperate for the change.
@@vegasrjr Just lots of dangerous things (centipedes, spiders/tarantulas, snakes, conenose bugs, even the sonora desert frog is poisonous). It's like Australia in America except landlocked! (kidding of course. Love the variety of wildlife, and a friend said life is great there when they moved)
@@romoibahadur42o better, honestly. Very stable. This is my first one. The pics are quite good at 2k haven't done a 4k since i only have the memory card in phone till the new one comes, better than my s8 for pictures for sure. I cant really explain my excitement and how this is very well. They aint lying in there ads,
@@romoibahadur42o Bought a second now have a backup. Been making a few bucks off it and need a backup, its still sweet for price range. Gorgeous 4k pictures.
Pretty expensive. The Zino Pro is about the same price, little more and you are in the Xioami Fimi 8se range which is a great drone. The app on this drone looks the same as that of the JJPRO X5 and MJX Bugs 5. Good review as always. Very informative and straight to the point.
just bought this 2 days ago. I tried it first day and it was good indoor and outdoor. I only flew it few mins each time. The next day I tried again with full batteries. First flight was good and then when I tried second time it started flying away. I tried to use the return home button and joy stick down but it didn't do anything. It kept on flying away. Not sure where it went and landed. I sent message to customer support and they were very helpful and are going to send another one for free and replace it. I do need to send all the remaining items back to them(controller, battery, and instruction). Lets see how the next one will be.
Hello Captain! I took my hs720 out to fly, after not using it for about a month or 2. Upon opening the app, I found that it has been updated, now a simple one-step to "connect device", and now has a "find my drone" button! It might be my imagination, but I flew it up to 75 feet high in a 25 mph wind, and it seemed to hover even more stable than ever.
A great review! So, I have had several low-end planes, helos and quadcopters, all of which help you to learn a bit. I now wanted to move to outdoor photographic involvement, but not jump all the way to a DJI Mavic. I got this one a couple of weeks back, along with a spare battery, and am looking forward to some initial flights. Weather is crappy right now in Pennsylvania, but if you can fly in frigid Canadian conditions, I am going to get out there. I liked your two camera views, the drone and your head mounted camera. It makes me realize that my video quality will be a little lacking from the drone 2K camera.
Thank you sooooooo much for this video, definitely will purchase. you made this video as real as it gets. thank you for your honesty, and putting this video up.
Got mines of Amazon after seeing this video for fathers day and it's amazing very fast video not that great got glitch but I send mines all the way across the water and it zooms across in no time
Nice again !! Fortunately, you have four warm fingers left when you get home. By the way, spent a long time painting all those trees in color so beautifully? 😁😁😁 Just kidding. That's how I want winter with a blue sky and bright sunshine. Have a nice day my friend and see you again next time. 🖐🖐🖐🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Wow!!!! What a drone for less than $300 !!! Alot bang for your buck!! Lots of cool features and my favorite is how stable it is in the air i love it! Due to your review I really want this as part of my 3 drone lineup (atleast) Questions: 1. Have you flown this drone in windy days?? Hows the flight? 2. How would you rank this Drone with other competitors?? 3. Max elevation??
Good review thanks. Am working on my US 107 and wanted a small multipurpose drone that I could use under recreational or commercial (depending on what I am doing...). Thanks for this.
Fights the wind like a giant, stays put. Love that drone, the only thing is the lack of obstacle avoidance sensors. So watch out around a treed area, I had to climb pretty high to get mine back.
Very nice drone only thing is I wish when doing videos if everyone could get a wind speed and direction gauge .very nice drone thank you captain you helped me decide to get hubsan zino pro for my first drone. Very happy with it just have to build up trust with it and get over that it's $400 flying with no leash. But very happy with it and all your videos are very helpful
Steve yes the yuneec goggles work with the hs 720. But tell the ppl make sure they have the apple lighting to digital av adaptor. Do not repeat do not buy the Amazon one. Plus 3d googles works to. The app. Has a splt screen. This is a great day.
@@PhillipGriffin3211 sent it back aftershock few week’s and got a full refund from Amazon. Thing went nuts and flew into my garage and broke into pieces. Ended up buying a Mavic
Steve, I am an avid watcher of your channel, thoroughly enjoy all the drone videos very informational. My question is, you have videos of drones with 4K video that don't have fisheye. Would love to see a series thanks.
I couldn't agree more, Check his other youtube video, ua-cam.com/video/MKBlr2v4eQU/v-deo.html The video is much smoother on F11 4K PRO with camera 2-axis gimbal and 30fps and drone cost less
The feature I discovered it has unlike many others is that it will circle a point of interest away from you. Most others will circle you or the transmitter location, but this one can circle a point where it is presently located. I thought it may have been a translation error in the written description but it is not. It has the capability of circling anywhere. Just be cautious of obstacles as it does not have obstacle avoidance, but you can stop it anytime with a tap on the phone screen. This drone flies rock solid and is quiet. Everyone from beginner to advanced flyers can have a use for this drone. It looks good flies well and has many features.
One question for the Captain: How does the HS720 use the landing pad to find where it is supposed to land? That just seems like black voodoo magic to me. 🤪
Thank you so much sir for this review videos. It helps a lot of beginners..I was? Gonna buy the mini dji mavic but my friend told me there’s a lot of drone that mavic can do and a lot less price.. til I found this drone so happy I know my money is worth it.. I like the follow me feature because me and my kiddos and my wife always going somewhere park. Beaches.. I want it to record everything we do thanks and keep it up god blessed you sir
I did the review and the battery literally came within two days. They also sent me a LiPo bag. Which was a nice touch. Happy with the way customer service handled themselves.
the price is certainly very attractive. but just a bit more, one can have a 249g Mavic mini with better features. I think DJI just killed off every competitors in this price range.
For me, I got this for $280 and the mini is $400. So I wouldn't say they are in the same price range. Also I dont plan on becoming a huge drone guy or ever getting a +1k drone, I just want one for casual use here and there and this one works very well for the price.
Typical high quality CD review, very through and in depth. Unfortunately it's in a class dominated by the Hubsan Zino and this drone is simply not up to that type of competition. The video quality although tolerable is far from "cinematic" for those most concerned with video quality. The lack of a gimbal the lower video resolution and the lens distortion all overshadow any flying qualities this may have that exceed those of the Zino. If you're looking for a good selfie drone, the DJI Spark is currently being found here there and everywhere in the 300s and once again, this drone simply can't compete. From what I can tell, HS has missed the mark with this drone. If it's meant to be a flyer, it's too expensive and if it's meant to be a photography/videography drone it need better camera and stabilization hardware. If one can get this at 40% off (in the mid 100 USDs) then I think it's a great buy, otherwise, not so much.
jmpdgs agree. Similar price range to Eachine ex4 and jjrc x12 means it simply will not sell unless they halve the price. Zino is more expensive and has minimal features, and toy like build. So on price in a slightly different category. This is probably a better featured drone but camera quality probably is it’s main weakness at the price
Update 7-12-2020 *** Thanks to Selina Xu, my confidence has been restored in Holy Stone *** She contacted me on FB about my unhappiness that a drone that I had only flown maybe 10 times wouldn't response to the controller. She expedited a NEW drone from Amazon which included everything and also upgraded it to 4K for Free! Thanks for excellent customer support!

Wow!!!! What a drone for less than $300 !!! Alot bang for your buck!! Lots of cool features and my favorite is how stable it is in the air i love it! Due to your review I really want this as part of my 3 drone lineup (atleast) Questions:
1. Have you flown this drone in windy days?? Hows the flight?
2. How would you rank this Drone with other competitors??
3. Max elevation??
I think the cold air probably helps the battery stay cooler vs flying on a warm summer day.
This.
Everytime he talks about it, I say to the screen how the cold HELPS batteries not hurts.
hi i also have this drone too but need to fly it more ! glad it can cope with cold weather too thanks
I understand why you have so many...they're all fantastic. Too addictive.
Good review thanks. Am working on my US 107 and wanted a small multipurpose drone that I could use under recreational or commercial (depending on what I am doing...). Thanks for this.
Love that tree 😍😍
im looking for drones to show to my mom for chrismas and the holy stone appers the most
how is it with wind resistance? Using this for development sites and aerial views, would wind knock it out to the side?
Fights the wind like a giant, stays put. Love that drone, the only thing is the lack of obstacle avoidance sensors. So watch out around a treed area, I had to climb pretty high to get mine back.
the hs720 weighs 907 grams same weight as the DJI Mavic 2 Pro so it should hover precisely in its place

Steve yes the yuneec goggles work with the hs 720. But tell the ppl make sure they have the apple lighting to digital av adaptor. Do not repeat do not buy the Amazon one. Plus 3d googles works to. The app. Has a splt screen. This is a great day.
Good to know. Thanks for the info!
Anytime my friend
Hey jeff., i like to buy the SG907 , what do u think ?
Idk about to buy a mavic mine.
What’s wrong with the one on amazon?
Thanks I got this for our trip to Homer Alaska Thank you
Seems like the dji spark and yuneec mantis had a baby
More like mavic air than spark
I ordered mine today, it’ll be here on Thursday. I can’t wait to use the follow me mode when we’re bike riding.
I’m looking to do the same how was it?
How is it 8 months on?
@@PhillipGriffin3211 sent it back aftershock few week’s and got a full refund from Amazon. Thing went nuts and flew into my garage and broke into pieces. Ended up buying a Mavic
Do you mind me asking what kind of camera are you recording with on the mini tripod?
King Israel Have a look below the video. All my gear is listed there.
Steve, I am an avid watcher of your channel, thoroughly enjoy all the drone videos very informational. My question is, you have videos of drones with 4K video that don't have fisheye. Would love to see a series thanks.
i loved everything except the video quality.
Oh no when the video is done it looks so good
Also that's kinda how all drones are
I couldn't agree more, Check his other youtube video, ua-cam.com/video/MKBlr2v4eQU/v-deo.html The video is much smoother on F11 4K PRO with camera 2-axis gimbal and 30fps and drone cost less
cant you just attach a gopro?
@@bitzer3242 Just got one, can you edit to improve the final video?
Much appreciate your video here. Just got this drone. This helped a bunch!
Glad it helped!
I noticed a tag still on it during the introduction segment. Is this the Minnie Pearl edition?
Ha ha.... it was hot off the press!
Mr. Zip Are we showing our age. Hee Haw.
+10 for the reference and knowing who she is! May the drone gods watch over your drone.
Too funny.
Excellent review! Thanks for sharing it.
Flys well, landing is pin perfect
Hello that is a nice flyer looks good..👍... cool unboxing review..👌.. one to buy...
Is it me or does the video from the drone look choppy
That is partialy due to placed a 24 FPS video into a 30 FPS video timeline. The missing frames become more apparent.
Awesome video. Beginner. Going to buy this drone.
It is basically MJX Bugs MEW4 drone.
The feature I discovered it has unlike many others is that it will circle a point of interest away from you. Most others will circle you or the transmitter location, but this one can circle a point where it is presently located. I thought it may have been a translation error in the written description but it is not. It has the capability of circling anywhere.
Just be cautious of obstacles as it does not have obstacle avoidance, but you can stop it anytime with a tap on the phone screen.
This drone flies rock solid and is quiet. Everyone from beginner to advanced flyers can have a use for this drone. It looks good flies well and has many features.
RTH puts many drones to shame. If only it has at least a 2 axis gimbal.
Just purchased one thanks for the review
Hope you enjoy it!
is that one the same as the " SG906 Beast " they look similar...(so do alot of drones hahaha)
Different. This one has a micro SD Card slot.
This the 1 I got,I let u know.thanks buddy
One question for the Captain: How does the HS720 use the landing pad to find where it is supposed to land? That just seems like black voodoo magic to me. 🤪
No magic, just comes back to take off GPS coordinates.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Don't believe him. It's Black Voodoo Magic.
@@homertalk lol
Thank you so much sir for this review videos. It helps a lot of beginners..I was? Gonna buy the mini dji mavic but my friend told me there’s a lot of drone that mavic can do and a lot less price.. til I found this drone so happy I know my money is worth it.. I like the follow me feature because me and my kiddos and my wife always going somewhere park. Beaches.. I want it to record everything we do thanks and keep it up god blessed you sir
Great Drone other than Camera.
Just got one for Christmas....can't wait for the weather to break....
Would be a nice buy if extra batteries were available and not have to wait two months to coMe from overseas
IF YOU WRITE A REVIEW IN AMAZON YOU GET A FREE BATTERY
I did the review and the battery literally came within two days. They also sent me a LiPo bag. Which was a nice touch. Happy with the way customer service handled themselves.
You are the man cool video👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
really nice drone for the price but that missed up arcuate horizon, why, why would they release a product with such handicap.
Cant give us all of what bigger models have they would piss those guys off so much. I have 2 HS700's, I added Arial Photography to my services.
Thank you for the review. Just got one of these. Simply amazing and amazingly simple
My first drone first flying it was magnificent. smooth . Sexy .love it bought on your review.cheers C.D
Great Review! I'm expecting my this drone to arrive today or tomorrow. I'm excited to use it.
the price is certainly very attractive. but just a bit more, one can have a 249g Mavic mini with better features. I think DJI just killed off every competitors in this price range.
For me, I got this for $280 and the mini is $400. So I wouldn't say they are in the same price range. Also I dont plan on becoming a huge drone guy or ever getting a +1k drone, I just want one for casual use here and there and this one works very well for the price.
Loving the fall colours
Typical high quality CD review, very through and in depth. Unfortunately it's in a class dominated by the Hubsan Zino and this drone is simply not up to that type of competition. The video quality although tolerable is far from "cinematic" for those most concerned with video quality. The lack of a gimbal the lower video resolution and the lens distortion all overshadow any flying qualities this may have that exceed those of the Zino. If you're looking for a good selfie drone, the DJI Spark is currently being found here there and everywhere in the 300s and once again, this drone simply can't compete. From what I can tell, HS has missed the mark with this drone. If it's meant to be a flyer, it's too expensive and if it's meant to be a photography/videography drone it need better camera and stabilization hardware.
If one can get this at 40% off (in the mid 100 USDs) then I think it's a great buy, otherwise, not so much.
jmpdgs agree. Similar price range to Eachine ex4 and jjrc x12 means it simply will not sell unless they halve the price. Zino is more expensive and has minimal features, and toy like build. So on price in a slightly different category. This is probably a better featured drone but camera quality probably is it’s main weakness at the price
Not sure what it was selling for when this review was done. But, I just got a lightning deal on amazon and paid $234 for it.
199 on ebay
Do you think it’s worth it? especially because the cam quality isn’t the best at least on the video?
Shame there’s no gimbal, at that price point (full price, not with the 40% off) I would expect a 2-axis...
We all know Holy Stone is overpriced.
This one or kf101? Which is better? When it comes to camera/video as well. Thnx in advance
I would like to buy it. But I am saving for the mavic mini to replace my spark.
Check out my video on the Mavic Mini.
I just bought one of these and CANNOT wait to fly it 😆
I cut myself with it but I just got the hang of it
Update 7-12-2020
*** Thanks to Selina Xu, my confidence has been restored in Holy Stone ***
She contacted me on FB about my unhappiness that a drone that I had only flown maybe 10 times wouldn't response to the controller. She expedited a NEW drone from Amazon which included everything and also upgraded it to 4K for Free! Thanks for excellent customer support!
Looks pretty good for a budget drone, just ordered one.
It’s a shame Canadian drone regulation are so strict
@Abra Cadabra they will probably decrees the weight limit so the it is regulated also
Really enjoyed your 👍🏽 video.
Thank you
I'm surprised that a drone of this quality has such jerky video. That is a deal breaker for sure.
Hi, Captain - do you like this more than the Bugs4W? Also, which one is better with wind. Wonderful videos!
I used to live in Montreal
knocked the tutorial out of the park, great job!
