Hahahaha. That’s a great idea!!! Maybe we could have a get together and everyone could fly a drone. Last man standing wins. lol. That would be hilarious. 🤣
lol that’s awesome!!! I can understand what he means because they’ve improved a lot in just the last 8 I mean 6 years. lol. I know they’re no match for DJI as everyone keeps saying but this little drone did really good. Now if they would only put a gimbal on it. Lol
Awesome! Thanks, Marcus. I watched your HS360 review for inspiration. Hahaha. I liked this drone a lot and can’t for the life of me figure out why they don’t just put on a simple gimbal. Once I got used to the controls, the drone flew great. I’ve flown it a few times since recording this and it performs like a champ. The signal strength is surprising and the footage while you’re flying is really decent. The only bad footage is the sudden stops and starts but other than that I liked it. Thanks for watching, man. I wanna fly over your canyon by the way. That place looks really cool
lol dude anything would be better than that piece of junk. Hahaha. This one was seriously a good one I thought. Yea, it could definitely benefit from a gimbal but the EIS they employed worked fantastic. Once I get used to the controls it seemed really good, too. It’s not a mini killer but it did well, eh? Thanks for watching as always, Steve!
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. That’s a part of a bicycle handle bar mounting system I got on Amazon. I haven’t used it for that yet but it makes a heck of a kick stand. lol. Here’s a link to the one I got. Hope it helps. God bless!! a.co/d/9MHziM9
lol I don’t think we have any family buried in there but you never know. Hahaha. This drone has a compass calibration but I don’t think it has the IMU calibration. It also has a geomagnetrometersupercalifragilisticexpealidocious calibration I think but I don’t know how it’s spelled.
it’s nearly identical except form the parts that are different. Hahaha. The next mini killer is gonna be a bigger mini killer so it should be some big fun. Lol
@@WeretheRobertsEVERYTHING looks like the Mini 2, when you look around. The Potensic Atom looks more like a Mini 2 than the Mini 2 does. DJI foiled all the competition again when Mini 3 & 4 came with radically new designs. Everyone else was trying to add features to Mini 2 design. Only DJI knew it was maxed out since you couldn't cool a processor doing that much work without an electromechanical fan, and boom - you're over 250 grams. Remember Hubsan Mini Pro? You couldn't use all features at the same time... overheating. Thats where Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro cooling the internals by PUSHING AIR into the body with rear props solved the problem- but created another. They had to be weirdly angled and close to the back, blocking rear obstacle avoidance (the "vents" near rear hinges aren't. They are cool air intakes. Problem solved, by putting the rear sensors in the front; pointing rearward. Not just solutions. Simple, elegant ones, that didn't break weight rules. Propulsion, Processing, Obstacle Avoidance teams, all collaborating like mofos
lol man that sucker almost got me. I would’ve showed the drones perspective of the near fatal collision but my expression was pretty weird. Haha. I tell you what, I use that power station a lot. Lately we’ve been doing slot of work cutting trees and burning stuff and I’ve been using it almost daily on the back porch to have a fan to cool off. It’s become really handy to not have to run an extension cord.
Yea id have to agree, Johnny. You have to admit the EIS worked pretty good on this drone though, eh? Ok maybe you don’t have to admit but it sounded good. lol. I liked this drone and although its mkt a mini killer, I’d still fly it. I would totally use the 50% discount code though. Full price is a bit much. lol
Dang that sucks. I didn’t have any issues with the pairing on this one. It said it can take up to 40 seconds but it didn’t take that long once I got the battery put in the drone right. lol. I’d say they’ve come a long way since back then. I know this one isn’t a mini killer, but it did well I thought. I just wish they’d put a gimbal on it! lol
lol absolutely true. I have yet to find one that’s a true match for DJI. I really do like this drone though. The eis worked really good on the video stability, although a gimbal would make another huge difference. Maybe they’ll put one on the next model. Thanks for watching again!!! We really appreciate your support each week. God bless.
I started with holystone. I really liked it. But, I feel spoiled with DJI. Maybe I'll have to dust off the HS720E, and have some fun. Hope you all are safe,from the hurricanes.
lol oh there’s no doubt we’re all spoiled with DJI. They have no serious competition and the “Mini Killer” theme here is all for fun. Plus some people get pretty upset when I say that. I’m trying to teach them to control their tempers. Hahaha. All is good on the home front by the way. Thanks so much for your concern and kind words. God bless, buddy!!!
The camera footage was spot on Kevin. Definitely not a mini killer. More importantly what have you named him ? I had James out today and he resurrected our relationship together 👌🏼 I’ll pop the video on my channel, I didn’t go far out but I did go 100m up
lol yea I thought the video quality was ok. Definitely a lot better than I was expecting with no gimbal. Honestly, the EIS did a really good job with the steadiness or whatever it’s called. I’m not a photographer obviously. Haha. Anyway, if it had a gimbal it would be even better so hopefully they address that in the future. I don’t have a name for this one yet by the way. Maybe harry since he’s a holy stone or Hank? I don’t know yet. lol. I’m glad James hooked you up, man. Always nice to get along with your drone. Hahaha.
Oh yea the Potensic is an awesome little drone. I should do a follow up on that one, eh? I did think this one did pretty good with the EIS though. It was definitely a lot better footage than I expected. Did the colors seem a bit flat? I noticed it was a little darker than the GoPro footage when it flipped back and forth. Either way, they definitely improved on the older model. Once I get used to the controls it flew good, too. The sticks are just a bit stiff. lol. Maybe they loosen up over time.
Would be better with good optical flow and without ( or disabled GPS) and with a simple small Wifi controller and maybe screen. Because then it's a nice fast to launch pocket drone that doesn't have a fragile gimbal. Now you have to wait minutes to connect and wait for satellites. Drone manufacturers (and reviewers) just fail to understand how people use drones in real life. Take for example the Neo. Why isn't there a cheap small controller for optical flow mode?
That’s a really cool idea, man. I seriously thought the EIS did a really good job with the video stabilization. It was cool how smooth it seemed when I was flying straight. The only bad footage I saw was from the sudden starting and stopping. Other than that, it was decent. Maybe a little washed out compared to the GoPro footage but still good.
@@WeretheRoberts It's an SJRC F5 version of course. Holy Clone doesn't make drones. Only higher prices. What they do is claim the rights of an existing model and then have the factory put their name on. Maybe sometimes they have requests to change it a little bit? Such as add Remote ID. That I don't know. But they're not a drone manufacturer. Most they sell is SJRC. F11, F22, F5, F7. In the US people don't seem to mind paying twice as much on Amazon for a 'fake brand' product if they can send it back. But if you can get this drone for $150 or so it isn't bad. Like I said not having a fragile gimbal can be more practical if you quickly want to grab the drone. Trust me, if you're on a bike riding 100 km a day you are not going to spend half an hour on a 3 second video or photo. You just ride on and forget about it. What you want is something you can launch instantly. That means a cheap optical flow drone with small WiFi controller and SD card. So that you don't have to mess with a phone. Now I don't have a DJI Mini with smart controller so I can't tell how fast you can get it in the air. I haven't seen a video of someone actually show it with a stopwatch. Maybe it's an idea for you? Which drone is fastest to launch? If it is as cheap drone that can take a good quality 1080p photo then it's already fine for the job. Just see it as boomerang camera. You take it out of your pocket, gyro calibration, fly it 20 meters, point shoot, fly it back. All within 20 seconds. And that is one reason why the HoverAir and Neo are a big success. Plus their follow feature of course. But manual control with the phone sucks. I would never buy the Neo without controller. Question is, if I do use the controller will it still be fast to launch? If not we're back to square one and it takes minutes to get it in the air. So if you forget about the follow feature and only want something for a quick selfie photo for Facebook, a cheap $60 could actually work better.
They might have have come along since your first experience of one but looking at that footage it looked over exposed very blurry my end. Dji Kev can't beat them!👊
Yea that’s for sure. Ain’t no way DJI can be beat in today’s market and I doubt they’ll have any real competition in the near future. I’m not sure what the proper terminology is for the footage but what you said. Hahaha. I did think the EIS they used made a huge difference in the video stability and I really do like how it handles. It took a bit for me to get used to the stiffness of the controls but once I did, it was good. I’ve flown a few times since making this video and each time I get used to it quicker. lol. Not a bad drone overall and the 50% off discount would help for sure. I think it’s a little overpriced at regular price though. I’m hoping they add a gimbal on the next version. Anyway, as always, man thanks for watching and commenting. We really appreciate your continued support. God bless!!!
lol yea man 50% is pretty big. I really liked the drone and the EIS worked really good. I still think it’s needs a gimbal to really be any competition either anyone out there. Seems like such a simple concept, eh? lol. I haven’t tried the discount code to verify if it’s active but the rep sent it to me yesterday and asked me to include it in the description. I’m not an affiliate so that link is all theirs by the way. I think once you add it to the cart, you go to the cart and can add the code where it says coupon codes or something like that. I’ve used them before and they normally work with no problem. Anyway, if you decide to look into it, please let me know. God bless Norm!
@@WeretheRoberts. FYI. Yes, just before you submit the order, under the payments section there is a promo slider you can turn on. When turned on, a field appears and you can enter the code, but alas, it didn’t change the final price. 😢
@@TurboNormhey man. The rep emailed me back and said they have it set to where you can’t claim both the attached coupon and this discount code so she recommended to only select the discount code option. She also sent another discount code in case the old one still didn’t work. Just let me know and I can update the description to then new code.
@@WeretheRoberts The old code didn't work. It responds, "The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase." Yeah, I knew better than to add both the discount and the coupon.
lol I hear ya and I would agree the Fimi seems pretty awesome from what I’ve seen on videos. Unfortunately I don’t have one to fly but maybe one of these days I’ll be able to get my hands on one. I do think they did a great job with the improvements on this drone at least and the EIS worked really good. It NEEDS a gimbal though for sure. I liked the 50% off discount. Wish Fimi or DJI had one of those. Hahaha. Thanks for watching again, brother and for the comment.
@@WeretheRoberts : We don't accept freebies for reviews and pay for everything. Can't see the point in spending money on all the off brand budget flying bricks. We rely on donations and so far aren't drowning yet 😱😂👍
lol. Good deal. I enjoy flying the free bricks. Makes me appreciate the DJI drones more sometimes. Haha. Plus, who the heck would donate to We’re the Roberts? I’m just an old retired cop unprofessional wanna be drone pilot. Hahahahaha. At least we have fun though, right? lol.
lol I’m glad you enjoyed it, buddy. Oh, retirement is awesome so far. Except for the hurricane. lol. Fortunately I wasn’t called out to work it so that was really neat.
No Mini killer, let me emphasize that IT IS NOT A MINI KILLER, far from it Kevin (in my humble opinion). Aerial footage was ok, I guess. At least the stability seemed quite good, but it looked to me to be an exceptionally calm day with no wind. Is there a U.S. drone manufacturing company? I thought we had one somewhere. If you could find a made in the USA drone to test as a “mini killer” that’d be interesting. 👍🏼👍🏼💜👍🏼👍🏼
Hahahaha. How come everyone assumes I’m saying Mini Killer as in DJI? Maybe I’m talking about the Ruko Mini or the IPad mini. Or a mini cupcake or mini golf ball. Mini pool table, mini dart board, mini horse, mini mouse. The list goes on. Hahaha. Anyway, you’re right about it not being a mini killer but it did a pretty good job at least. I liked how the EIS helped out so much with the image stability but a gimbal is a necessity nowadays on any drone, eh? The only US company I know of is Skydio and I don’t think they do anything for recreational flyers anymore. I think they’re focused on those big contracts with all the federal, state and local government agencies now. At least that’s what I’ve seen and heard lately. There’s EXO but I’ve learned it’s actually a Chinese company that claims to be a US company. I’m not sure about them yet. We may need to look into that. lol. EXO was on the ban list too though so I’m assuming it’s Chinese. Love you TC!!! I gotta go. Kristi’s making spaghetti and mini meatballs for supper. Hahaha.
Oh I definitely get that. I really don’t know why they didn’t put a simple gimbal on it. They did do a good job with the EIS though so when you’re flying smoothly the footage seems great. It’s the starting and stopping that really sucks. It really does amaze me how much difference a gimbal makes on drones. Maybe next time they’ll add it, eh?
It's a little washed out, the video. It looks like it's lagging a lot, and freezes too much. I don't call them Holy Shit for nothing, I'm just kidding. It looks like a fun drone. I rather crash that than a DJI mini that's for sure. Thanks for sharing Kevin. 👍👍👍
Hahahaha. Language Ray! Family show. lol. Just kidding, buddy. Anyway, I thought it looked a little washed out, too once I compared it to the GoPro footage. I couldn’t think of the term for it but washed out sounds like a perfect description. I did think the drone did well though and the EIS definitely helped with the footage stability. They really need to add a gimbal. I think a gimbal is a necessity for any drone nowadays, eh? Thanks for watching and commenting as always, man! God bless.
I dont think the vid quality is as good as DJI Mini series. I have a Mini 2, and that has a better quality. of course, bang for the buck is a differentiator.
lol I would have to agree 100% on your comment no doubt. The Mini 2 was our first real drone and so far it’s still our absolute favorite. I do think this drone did a really good job though and the EIS really helped with the video. It still NEEDS a gimbal so hopefully they’ll listen to that part. Once I got used to the controls it seemed to fly good also. I’ve flown it a few times since making this video and I do like it. It’s NOT a mini killer though. lol. Still has a ways to go but overall it’s a cool drone. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. God bless!
lol that’s true. I don’t think there’s such a thing as a mini killer if we’re referring to DJI but this little guy did really well. They still need a gimbal on it but the EIS did pretty good with the footage, eh?
dji has many competitors, but no competition😆
Wow that’s the best way I’ve heard anyone say it. It’s definitely true. lol
At some point you're going to have a mountain of Mini killers in storeage. Maybe you can run a demolition derby with them
Hahahaha. That’s a great idea!!! Maybe we could have a get together and everyone could fly a drone. Last man standing wins. lol. That would be hilarious. 🤣
Had a 50th class reunion and a classmate was taking about how much fun he was having with his HS
lol that’s awesome!!! I can understand what he means because they’ve improved a lot in just the last 8 I mean 6 years. lol. I know they’re no match for DJI as everyone keeps saying but this little drone did really good. Now if they would only put a gimbal on it. Lol
I liked the original HS360. It flew quite nicely. This drone just needs a gimbal. Well done Kevin.

'R' for Roberts,🤣. Does it have a compass and ISO calibration? How does it feel to be retired now? Love your demos.

Looks very similar to the Mini 2 Kev, good test and info and the RTH, so like the Mini 2 look forward to the next Mini drone killer
it’s nearly identical except form the parts that are different. Hahaha. The next mini killer is gonna be a bigger mini killer so it should be some big fun. Lol

Not really a mini Killer.
Always like to see the Ruko power station doing its job 👍

If you could find a made in the USA drone to test as a “mini killer” that’d be interesting. 👍🏼👍🏼💜👍🏼👍🏼
Hahahaha. How come everyone assumes I’m saying Mini Killer as in DJI? Maybe I’m talking about the Ruko Mini or the IPad mini. Or a mini cupcake or mini golf ball. Mini pool table, mini dart board, mini horse, mini mouse. The list goes on. Hahaha. Anyway, you’re right about it not being a mini killer but it did a pretty good job at least. I liked how the EIS helped out so much with the image stability but a gimbal is a necessity nowadays on any drone, eh? The only US company I know of is Skydio and I don’t think they do anything for recreational flyers anymore. I think they’re focused on those big contracts with all the federal, state and local government agencies now. At least that’s what I’ve seen and heard lately. There’s EXO but I’ve learned it’s actually a Chinese company that claims to be a US company. I’m not sure about them yet. We may need to look into that. lol. EXO was on the ban list too though so I’m assuming it’s Chinese. Love you TC!!! I gotta go. Kristi’s making spaghetti and mini meatballs for supper. Hahaha.
@@WeretheRoberts Yum!!! Red or white wine with the spaghetti? And ok, it might be a mini golf ball killer. 😂😂
Hahaha.

@@WeretheRoberts Mountain Dew Ms. Kristi? Don’t they have Ski down there?
Still I love dji mini 2. U make me bought it😂😂😂
Hahaha. So you’re blaming me for your addiction? That’s ok. I blame Nobbygreen for mine. lol. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. God bless!!!
7:49 again, DJI footage is way better yes it’s not bad but for me it’s a no based on that footage.
Oh I definitely get that. I really don’t know why they didn’t put a simple gimbal on it. They did do a good job with the EIS though so when you’re flying smoothly the footage seems great. It’s the starting and stopping that really sucks. It really does amaze me how much difference a gimbal makes on drones. Maybe next time they’ll add it, eh?
@@WeretheRoberts 100% but by letting people try them is how they better themselves, let’s hope they listen.
@@19Neil67 I hope so, too.
It's a little washed out, the video. It looks like it's lagging a lot, and freezes too much.
I don't call them Holy Shit for nothing, I'm just kidding. It looks like a fun drone. I rather crash that than a DJI mini that's for sure.
Thanks for sharing Kevin. 👍👍👍
Hahahaha. Language Ray! Family show. lol. Just kidding, buddy. Anyway, I thought it looked a little washed out, too once I compared it to the GoPro footage. I couldn’t think of the term for it but washed out sounds like a perfect description. I did think the drone did well though and the EIS definitely helped with the footage stability. They really need to add a gimbal. I think a gimbal is a necessity for any drone nowadays, eh? Thanks for watching and commenting as always, man! God bless.
I'd guess the answer is a definite 'no'. 😂
I dont think the vid quality is as good as DJI Mini series. I have a Mini 2, and that has a better quality. of course, bang for the buck is a differentiator.
lol I would have to agree 100% on your comment no doubt. The Mini 2 was our first real drone and so far it’s still our absolute favorite. I do think this drone did a really good job though and the EIS really helped with the video. It still NEEDS a gimbal so hopefully they’ll listen to that part. Once I got used to the controls it seemed to fly good also. I’ve flown it a few times since making this video and I do like it. It’s NOT a mini killer though. lol. Still has a ways to go but overall it’s a cool drone. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. God bless!
Holystone is good...mini killer? No.
lol that’s true. I don’t think there’s such a thing as a mini killer if we’re referring to DJI but this little guy did really well. They still need a gimbal on it but the EIS did pretty good with the footage, eh?
