Just picked one of these up at a local thrift store for $9.99. Came here to see how to start it and ended up watching the entire thing. Great video. Hope I get the hang of flying one soon. I crashed 6 or 7 times just while your video was playing. You can really feel the air movement when it's flying near you
Thank you friend for your tutorial. I had this drone for a year without using it i did not know how to set it up to be abel to fly. Now my Kids Will be abel to play with it . Your tutorial was a great help for me.
Thanks for the reviews. Originally I wasn't going to be getting one of the "toy" drones and was going to go to something like the HS175D, but seeing several of your videos, I think I am going to go with a mini drone to see if this 60 y/o mind can learn it. I love the detail and quality of your videos. I have watched other reviews of the same drone you review and there is no comparison to the quality and thoroughness of your reviews
Nice review! My son has had this drone for a couple of years and still enjoys flying it. He would fly it out his window and bring it back in a different window! You should also check out the Holyton HT02. It is even smaller and a blast to fly. The advantage of it is it has 3 batteries. These little guys are a surprising amount of fun to fly!
Another great AWESOME video. It's not too bad. I like how quick and responsive it is. I do like the colors as well. I haven't purchased one yet but this one has me wanting to purchase one. Lol Thanks for the video. 💯🙂💯
Wonderful and very pleasurable video to watch. Not only did it quickly help me figure this thing out but it was enjoyable to watch. Great job my friend would you think about making a list of all the toy drones like these and bigger ones that you have liked and would recommend. I have about 50 to 75 myself and only about 10 still work LOL I'd love to try out a bunch of drones that you've liked. There's so many you don't know which ones to get
So for the summer, I bought this thing. It's not bad, considering how I'm a teen beginner, and the headless mode is awesome for newbies. I highly recommend this drone.
I like your videos. One Key Return With the press of a button (return to home) in Headless Mode, the drone will fly back to the direction of the transmitter. You need to stop it by yourself.
You made me buy it finally………. HS210…..none of your video misses mentioning this little flying machine. I do have HS 450 and HS 170 , they both do great indoors in my small room ………but your praises are such that I just ordered this favourite of yours. Let’s see how it defeats my other two. …….. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
nice little toy for buzzing around the house but its like they have gone down hill with innovations over the past 5 years, as many of the mini & micro drones from 8 to 10 years ago like the JJRC H22 & the Eachine H8 mini 3D would do inverted flight as well as 360 flips. the internal battery is the only down side to this little guy, you pretty much need a bag full charged up & ready to go for an afternoon of fun, lol
This will be #31 of My collection. Biggest is the TAROT Hex. Sure a lot of fun at that. Also fly R/C Aircraft , 575 in the Squadron. Have to change the mind set from Drone to Fixed wing. FAA Seaplane Pilot too. Great video. Even teaching the Grandsons to fly also. A1 job
Michael Pemantel I say HolyStone makes great drones,& that I would gladly review drones for them.My name is Michael Pemantel & I live in Knox,NY.Hope I win because the drone that I have now isn't that good,already had a gear break after only 5 flights.It's a ZLL SG907 Pro,that I was gifted for Christmas.It flies well,takes good photos,but with the video is shaky.I'm looking to upgrade,but being disabled limits my funds to very little.I love photography,& have a good Canon digital camera,but I'm always looking to try something different,like "light painting",& motion blur.I like to think outside of the box,& I think that's why I received the drone.It also helps(for me)to relieve stress,& my grandson loves grandpa's "helicopter"😁Tried to tell him it's a drone,but 3yo boys know more than a 51yo man😂😂😂😂You & your wife have a great day,happy flying,& fly safe🚁PS.they really need a drone emoji😁 #wheresthedroneemoji Oh...I say HolyStone!
Fails to mention the drone can not be charged while folded up inside of the controller, in order to charge the drone with the controller it must be removed from the controller and at least one of the arms must be extended in order to plug the charge cable in there for making it unable to fit inside of the controller, even if you didn't have to extend the arm the plug is too long does not allow the drone to sit inside the controller while charging, The best you can get is one arm unfolded with it plugged in and sitting half and half out of the controller with the lid open, doesn't kill it completely though it still convenient to be able to charge it with the controller but you're just not going to be able to carry it around in your pocket while you're charging it without risk of breaking it.
All of your videos are so great. I bought 4 of these HS190s and have been flying one and it is amazing! On the highest speed level it can really move! I have one question if I may please. I bought mine here in Canada from Walmart. Each one came with 3 removable batteries and a USB charge cord. However, there is no charging cord in the tranmitter itself to charge the drone's battery from the batteries in the transmitter. So, these cannot be charged from the transmitter out in the field. Do the HS190s in the United States still have the yellow charging cord in the transmitter? Thank you so much for any help you can offer. Best wishes!
Another excellent, entertaining and teaching video from your site! I ordered and am waiting for 4 of these to arrive (here in Canada). I bought them on your recommendation and video. So wonderful. I have a question if I may, please. Regarding the trim functions, you said in the video that you can trim it for hovering (up and down) and you can trim it for left and right (the two buttons below the right joystick). But can you trim it for forward and backward? In other words, does it have all of the same trim functions that the HS210 has? Thank you very much for any help you can give on this. And thank you for all of the wonderful videos and information. Your videos are a joy to watch and they teach so much. Warmest regards.
It's really cool at night. The single, white "headlight" is VERY bright! Flying in complete darkness IS a little different than in daylight. It just takes a little getting used to. But it certainly CAN be done and it's a great adventure! Best wishes.
does this one have altitude hold??? i love this design... only draw back is if battery goes bad before you get bored of flying it...but i could see lasting a long time if used correctly and at least twice per month and if you have to store it maybe run battery half way down first... great review..
It does hold altitude real well, if you just fly it around aimlessly it does get boring , so try to have an agenda and try new thinks to improve your skill set and it makes it fun!
Hi James - enjoying your channel... you keep saying that the HS210 is the best micro-mini drone for training. I agree with your point, but when I decided to buy a mini drone for training, I saw other reviews that spoke about how trying to fly the 210 outside was tough because the slightest breeze will really catch it and blow it around. I definately wanted a mini drone that would be good to fly indoors, but that could also function well outdoors. I saw the HS170 "Predator", and felt that it's streamlined profile would be good for outdoor flying. I won't say any more about my experience with the HS170, because I have nothing to compare it to. I will say that it has really helped me to become a better flyer when I'm out with my HS720E... I'd really like to hear what you think of the HS170 vs the HS210!
I have bought several of the 170’s, they just turn slower and there is a little latency, the 210 is spot on and gives you confidence, neither are very good out side but the 190 seems to have more power and it’s smaller so it actually does pretty well outside as long as it’s not to windy. All these drones are fun and really make you a better drone pilot. I have had my dogs chase mine all over the house 100’s of times. Increases your skill set while having fun, especially on a rainy day or a day like today when it’s 100 outside.
Hi. I have both the HS210 and the HS190. The buit-in rotor guards on the 210 were helpful when I first started with it indoors. The 210 is a bit more suseptible to tiny bits of wind if flown outdoors. The 190 is less so. And man, it IS faster! I love LOS style and the HS190 is so great. Thank you and best wishes.
Hi James. I'm learning so much from you! I'm newly Part 107-certified. I've been practicing with the HS210 and getting more confident with each session. I have to ask: What is the song you're using as the background for this video? I love it. Thanks, and keep on making more great videos,
The song is from Storyblocks, I use LumaFusion to edit my video’s, moving up to Final Cut next year. Thanks so much for watching and your encouragement!
@B4U GO I like that track. It reminds me of a song I sing in church now and then called "Dear Younger Me". Give it a listen, and you'll see what I mean.
I just subbed you and a like. I’m looking for a good drone to use on UA-cam videos but at a good price. What would you suggest. Plus easy to fly. Great videos….! Thanks and God bless.
What price point and what will you be filming? You can pick up a used DJI Mini1 for $200 and they are amazing! Or, I have an extra Inspire2 for $6,500, lol
I have been looking at the mini 1 and mini 2 last day or so. Mini 2 refurbished around 65.00 $ more. Better camera. My son-in-law already has the phatom 4. But I need one when he’s not able to help on our channel.
Hi! Slightly off-topic, but do you ever use either anemometer or a laser rangefinder when working with you drones? If so, do you have any brand/model recommendations? Love the channel! Very informative videos.
I haven’t used them with the drones to text the range because I live on a golf course and know the distance but that is a really goof idea. I have a $400 range finder that I had lost but it was returned a week later so i the mean time I bought a $80 range finder and like it just as much. Ill get the makes for yo if you like.
Hi, after some advice re the triming if you don't mind. I'm doing the reset, bottom left then bottom right, but the drone just wants to take off in a direction and I can't hit the trim fast enough to correct it.
I fly syma x20 drone I want to know when I want to trim the drone do I push trim button ONCE or multiple time's ??? do I trim while the drone is in the air ? or !!!!!!
without looking at it, it would be hard to say, maybe the remote is faulty, are you setting the gyro's on a flat surface. HS does have great customer service.
Just picked one of these up at a local thrift store for $9.99. Came here to see how to start it and ended up watching the entire thing. Great video. Hope I get the hang of flying one soon.

Hope you enjoy it! Welcome to the drone hobby!
No one else Can fly and promote these little drones like you do I'm loving the channel it's top of the range
This is still great. I recommend the prop guards for newbies. You can smash the drone into a wall, and half the time, it doesn't crash.
Best way to learn!

Be sure and let me know, it just seems to fly so solid and precise like a bigger drone!
The HS210 is great. If you haven't yet done so, give the HS190 a try. It too is amazing and will fly faster than the HS210. Best wishes!
Tysm I got gifted this with out instructions
nice little toy for buzzing around the house but its like they have gone down hill with innovations over the past 5 years, as many of the mini & micro drones from 8 to 10 years ago like the JJRC H22 & the Eachine H8 mini 3D would do inverted flight as well as 360 flips.
the internal battery is the only down side to this little guy, you pretty much need a bag full charged up & ready to go for an afternoon of fun, lol
These are great for what they are meant for, they fly for about 8 minutes, with multiple batteries most would get bored, time to move up!!!! Lol
This will be #31 of My collection. Biggest is the TAROT Hex. Sure a lot of fun at that. Also fly R/C Aircraft , 575 in the Squadron. Have to change the mind set from Drone to Fixed wing. FAA Seaplane Pilot too. Great video. Even teaching the Grandsons to fly also. A1 job
I got a great plane last year till I tried some stunt flying and put it pieces, just got another one, review coming soon! Thanks for watching!
@@b4ugo yes occasionally it happens. ben there and done that. We call that a sub terrain pull out.
Great review as always James!
This is a really cool video. Great job

freakin awesome sir. i love the remote ❤️😍🥰
i had this for 2 years and i wanted to use it again but i forgot how to turn it on so thanks
very nice review !!!! thanks❤🙏
Excelent video, Thanks
Thanks so Much Diego!

Can we get a tutorial on putting the guards on?
sorry, already gave this one away
i bet thats easy to see outside at night also

Lol, no, dont think so, would probably annoy them! But most things do annoy cats

I fly syma x20 drone I want to know when I want to trim the drone do I push trim button ONCE or multiple time's ??? do I trim while the drone is in the air ? or !!!!!!
Not sure on the Syma, its different on drones, some hold it down, some punch it over and over, should be able to tell
What does it mean if it starts beating really fast when you turn it on?
Gyro isn’t set, set it on a flat surface away from metal when you set the gyro
so i have one but one side goes up but not the other side can you help me with that problem
without looking at it, it would be hard to say, maybe the remote is faulty, are you setting the gyro's on a flat surface. HS does have great customer service.
I'm charging it from the transmitter it's been 1 hour and almost 30 mins still in the blue?
How long has it been sitting? Sometimes when they sit a year they go bad. Try charging it with the charging cable it came with, good lucj
Got two and now both are unfortunately not able to work together, one controller hijacks both drones
Wow, that dosnt happen often, I have flown 10 mini drones at the same time.
how much practice u have of flying drone??
About 4 years of doing it wrong and 3 of doing it the right way, lol
Question: do I have to leave the controller on just to charge the drone?
Good question, not sure and I have already givin this one away. I wouldnt think so
Do you have an HS450 ?
It's one of my favorites for indoors
Yes, I did a review on it, lots of fub
What this time in the fly???
It flys for about 6 minutes, maybe 7
20
Mine was 100$dollars
