Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- HS360s connects just like all the better drones now using a RF signal from the remote instead of shaky Wi-Fi from your phone or device! Review and Instructions.
I really wish you guys would know how to test the follow-me properly.
I really enjoyed your review excellent job gave great description and spoke clear awsome video.🎉
Thanks so much, fly safe!
Good work James 👍
So have you had a chance to get your hands on the new Potensic Atom with the 3 axis gimble? I think it's one of the best values on the market right now, especially if you can get one at a discounted price
Not yet, they did reach out to me but i have taken a break, hopefully get it soon
Great review. Potensic Atom SE seems to be a better value for a little extra, but this is a rabbit's hole, little by little it turns into a space shuttle mission.
Thanks for the great reviews. They have helped me to zero in on the Holy Stone drones. I have been trying to decide between this one and the HS175D and initially leaning to the HS175D because of the 2 batteries. However, this review explaining about WiFi connection limitations, has me settled on this one.
Also, took your advice on getting one of the micro drones, HS210F to learn controls and really help to decide if drones are a good hobby. I believe the advice on getting a micro drone is one of the best pieces of advice you have provided. It's tons of fun, so now wait until our winter weather disappears to get this drone and be able to go outside and enjoy.
Thanks for the great reviews and I appreciate the detail that you go into, but it is still easy to understand.
Thanks Jim, I really appreciate it, and you will enjoy the 210 more than you know.
Hope all is well...have not seen your videos in a while...u were one of the main people who got me into the drone hobby...God bless and looking forward to seeing more videos in the future.
Good to see you again！
Newbie, and a boomer here. Bought this drone last week and haven't used it yet. Almost no drone experience here.
I'm taking it to my remote west TX cabin in a couple days.
No wifi, only have weak Bluetooth inside the cabin with antenna booster.
Do you think this will operate and be controllable around my 20 acres of desert terrain?
I have a couple shallow canyons I've never explored, but worried about dipping below line of site with the drone and crashing, then it's GONE.
Any advice appreciated.
Great video!
If you could buy a dji spark or this what would be a better buy?
The Spark is a much better drone, problem is they are about 5 years old minimum and the batteries could fail if they work at all. I have 4 Sparks and love them, still the most agile drone DJI has ever made (other than FPV) but know the batteries only last about 5-7 minutes (12 when new) vs 20+ minutes for the HS360, but check out the New HS900 with a 3 axis gimbal!
Does it fly well in high winds?like whats the wind resistance level?
I would say 15th winds will be fine, anything over 20 will make it hard to control i
Great to see you back James. Nice review on the HS360S, HolyStone looks like they’re finally adopting the OTA system to their quads which is much better that the old WiFi connection.
Thanks , had to take a 6 month break, long story, busy and business but mainly opened up a new campus for my church and im the lead Deacon and thier was so much to do. I had to chose which hat to take off for a while.
@@b4ugo Wow, that great! Hope all of the best for you and those in your congregation. 🙏🏻❤️
Drone is cool but on my very first flight when I selected the home button the drone shot straight up and hit a tree limb and crashed hard to the ground. I was not able to use any controls after it lost control. So one flight, destroyed. I did ask for a replacement and hopefully this time it works correctly.
will it let you set way points? I am shopping to buy one very soon. I have an older HS100 which is a large unit. I've never used it. I want one for hunting and scouting game.
I just saw that HoleStone has brought out the HS900 with a gimble camera. Any chance you will do a review on this new drone?
great video but still dont know how to fly
How can I help you?
great video but still dont know how to start it
Pretty sure I show how to unlock the motors
Thank you for your great instructional video. I got very excited about this model when you said that the use of a cell phone is not required. So why download the app if all the flying software is in the RC as you mentioned? Instead of using a cell phone can I use a FPV monitor like the SoloGood monitor/receiver from Amazon priced at $61.99? It even has a DVR built-in and receives video data from the drone at the 5.8GHz frequency. I have been researching drones for about 2 months now. I want to buy a model which does not require downloading an app and using a very disturbing cell phone. I saw you download the app to your cell phone. So again, if I don't have to use the cell phone then why download the app on it? I am still a bit confused as a newbie to all of this. Is this model the one I should buy? FYI: I saved your video to my DRONE folder. Thank you so much again!

You have to use the app to watch the FPV feed from the camera, but you can have a lot of fun and still take photos and video without it. Also, the app will have the map feature if you need it. Until you comfortable flying it, i wouldnt worry about the app
Nice to see you back bro. Luv the shirt. Have you ever reviewed C Fly drones?
Thanks so much, and yes i did the c-fly faith 1, i just replied to them about the new one, we will see, i have takin a 6 month break
There you go again turning it upside down. When the motor stops working are you going to replace it.
I agree with your review, just bought the HS360S. I would however recommend the HS430 as a great beginner drone. I was wondering if you could recommend video editing software. I would like to remove the shakenes in the video I'd possible.
I have Final Cut Pro and it cost $300 plus add ons. But I use LumaFusion and it cost $30 once and is amazing, Its all I use, it remove shakiness very easy.
If you can fly the micro or mini, you can fly the fancy ones. The fancy ones just sit in the air.
Excellent review, thank you. As you suggested, I played with my brothers, "toy" drone first and this video made my purchase decision for me. My use for this may be a bit unusual; I live on a ranch and will use this short range, (< 1/4 mi. ) to look for cattle and varmints plus as a target camera, ( stationary on a platform) , for long range shooting. Thanks again.
would be great for that, enjoy!
Just got mine and WOW!! Used coupon codes and got it down to $140 total. Got delivered today and im already impressed. Watched quite a few videos before making my choice including yours several times. Super easy to fly. Connection is AMAZING. Camera is on par with a good point n click shooter. Video..... Works. I shoot video in 2.7k 30fps so i can slow it down and grab high quality stills.
Where did you find the coupons?
@@shantellrussell3874 I used the one from the rcsaylors video.
Awesome, it really flies as good as anything out there!
Do you have to have 5g on your phone for the GPS thing to work or is LTE ok?
Which phone is better android or iPhone. I cannot use my camera on iPhone
Glad to see you back. Thank you for all your time and reviews. I have a nice little budget drone collection thanks to you and the Captain.
Cool, thanks i had to take a break, thanks for your comments and thinking of me, lol. Promise to get back at it!
@@b4ugo hi I was just wondering if you or anyone else knows the answer to this but I just bought this drone and in the manual there is no mention of gyro calibration just compass does it not need to be gyro calibrated
After getting a L900pro and pushing it to the limits, I was looking at non-wifi drones like DJI, but maybe this will be the one.
Other than the camera this is as good as almost anything out ther, if your just taking pictures this is the best drone out there, video would be another story
Hi, Where to buy a new original battery for this drone?
Not gonna lie i was used to cheap drones then i got this amd accidentally hit return home button and freaked out when it took off thinking i lost it. Moral is read the manual 😂
Yeppers, very important to read if your a new pilot
como activo pantalla para que se vea lo que ve mi dron? el video show se pausa
This is interesting. When I opened the app for the first time, there was a free offer to get a battery! I couldn't believe it but...the battery came in yesterday! Free!
Amazing! Yeppers, I hate talking about it because some ont really go through the process, There customer service is the best in the industry, wish top of the line drones would follow
Yes amazing customer service!
Just got mine today this drone is alsome easy setup easy flying will purchase again and tell my friends about this drone great starting drone.
Thanks for sharing! Flys as. Good as any drone I have ever flown!
Just got mine last week my first drone vary impressed with it I did register it in 🇬🇧 had to do a 40 minute on line test to get a pilot id and a operator id
Is it not an online in the UK? Do you you have to go into a public building? I need to learn more about that
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
Happy New Year Good to see you again 🎉
Happy new year!thanks so much, im back and ready to make more videos again, had to take a break for family reasons
Great video tutorial, and review!
This is my first drone. I love it.
no video? device not connected???
I fly my hs175d without my phone in optical mode all the time
It’s great practice and fun, thanks for watching
Any coupons? it's 199 now
Thanks!
I love your videos there so informative and well done thank you.. I have gotten this drone n had not to good of a experience but I sent tge one i had back for a new one I think i got a dud ill update once i get my new one
Got mine for $28 on Black Friday promotion
Wish I would have bought 10 more at that price, i already gave them all away!
Is this there answer to the potensic atom se model? I have that one this is very similar good video.
The Atom SE is definitely a better drone. They also just released the 3 axis Atom
For the price heck ya, i think they are very compatible but this one is much cheaper, and has the best customer service
This was EXTREMELY helpful, thank you!
Thanks so much. That was a great review and the first time I've heard of drones using wifi or RF....awesome
Another awesome review. Love that’s it’s not WiFi
Thanks for watching Joseph, i dont thing people realize how much of a difference this makes. Drones get better and cheaper every day
the 360s also has a reliable GPS setup - quick too - ive got 2 of them and both calibrate at less than 1 turn horizontal and vertical - its also got a good working abort on the calibration so u can redo it and not take off with bad cal!! it is easily their best, most reliable machine. agree with the 210 being a great wee trainer - the new 210F is soooo much fun too - flies like a Lancaster bomber!!! banking and slipping and soaring into the blue yonder - flew one in a snowstorm a few days ago and it was fine!! - dried it out on the mantlepiece!! - great seeing my favourite review guy back doing drones!!! 😊😊😊
Yes, i agree, maybe the best controller of any drone less than $2,000 dollars and this one is less than $200, just wish they would combine the 3 axis gimbal with this one
Holy Stone HS175D drone 'vs' Holy Stone HS360S drone . Almost the same price point but the HS360s comes with one battery that's a bummer. I think I need to return my HS175D for the HS360S ... plan on using it in Mountain terrain.
HS360s Batteries are expensive . if I Buy two Hs360s batteries Your only $10 away from buying a Brand new Hs360s that comes with one battery........ hmmmmmmm do I buy two HS360s or one HS360s and two batteries? hmmmmmmmm should I have one extra battery and some parts along with back up drone or should I have one drone and two back up batteries lmao . you can't just have one battery......
great info. like it very much!
Thanks so much Riley!
WELCOME back James.
Thanks, had to take a break, lots more coming
Thank you for the review!
Just one minor correction, HS360S does Not have image stabilization @2:00... 😉
Thanks, i thought it did
Nice. Wish I bought it when the price was lower.
Welcome back missed your videos
Yay! Thank you! Had to take a break for a while, Im back hopefully to stay now.
To fly in attitude mode do you have to do the compass calibration first the switch to attitude mode?
No Need to calibrate if you don't want to fly without GPS. Thanks for watching
cool drone and great review
What does the mic do?
Just records the sound of it flying, good for making videos. I never use it.
Ohhh ok
thanks
You're welcome! Thanks fr watching Stephane
Worst drone .. my drone lost automatically very bad
