I now have a HS110G and it's awesome just the same as the comment before me. Your video helped me out a lot. I thought, Geezes, you have to remember the up and down with the left stick to stop the red lights and communicate the controller with the vehicle. Then two sticks up angles and center to start the calibration with the GPS satellites, "then what?? a few incantations, throw rice over your shoulder, 3 Hale Marys, buckets of aggregate stones, hair strands from a witch, and a rain dance only known to a sub-tribe from the Sacajawea Indian tribe,......anyways, I was doing the rain dance part in my driveway before I launched and figured out that I can't trim out the controls to center, oh yeah GPS does that, and as I cursed a few words I noticed my neighbor was waiting to walk her dogs in front of my house hoping I wasn't another average citizen who finally lost it and wondered, "what's next from this nutter??" But I flew towards me and let her by and rendered a kind Xmas salutation as she smiled and passed. But it flew with all the control directions wrong (I flew the 2014 quad copters, seat of my pants and was R. C. planes and helicopters before that, going back to the 80's. The 2014 stuff wasn't bad. I just trimmed it out myself. But, oh yeah, just switch back to the magic GPS system. Yes, now it's perfect. I don't have to hold pressure on back stick and right stick, all in one stick. Got some nice pics. Some videos don't make it to the final draft (editor). They just don't become videos. They stay thumbnails to nowhere. So take a lot of videos (turn it off and on a lot so you generate a lot of videos so at least half will make it to final print. It's a game of chance. I fly like R. C. This has a mode that make it, no matter which rotation you make it, always obey the stick from the flyers point of view. If you're behind and you rotate 90 degrees right, Now the nose down stick makes it go right (from the drone's point of view), and that's nice for a beginning drone operator but not someone who has had billions of years of R. C. If you are R. C. It flies great by the seat of your pants. Pitch, yaw, coordinated turns and no slipping or skidding, and even makes some tight banking turns when you catch on. At night it looks cool to fly it like that. Took me a few headaches but I got this without "wrecking the dan----thing, and I love my new Xmas present. Charging it up now and can't wait to fly again. Flew it in the house without GPS and got some pics of my 90s aged folks. They took it real well. They got me the thing in the first place.
lol, some people complain about doing compas calibrations and setting gyro's. But, its kinda like when you get in your car and set your GPS and start driving and have to turn around because the GPS didnt know what was the front of your car. Well, that would be really bad for a drone, you have to do them on $30,000 drones, just aprt of flying! Thanks for watching
@@b4ugo Oh no!! I'm not that rich. I think I'd have a heart attack the whole time I was driving knowing I spent that kind of money and it's outside. But I get it about the dance ritual. Better learn before I do upgrade because I think I'm hooked.
just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate your drone reviews. i am new to the hobby. i love to learn but there's so many drones and ect. that it can be overwhelming at times researching all this stuff. your reviews are often easy to understand and give full details that others just dont do as well. i have subscribed for that reason. used your video on the hs110g to help my young neighbor set up his drone for the first time. looking forward to showing it to him and letting him have at it. thank you again.
Thanks so much! Great to see young people getting into drones over video games, you only have to be 16 to get your part 107, and the average drone pilot in Texas makes 82K a year!
It's not too shabby. I'm definitely liking this one. Not very expensive. Definitely like the price point. Love the fact that your videos are very detailed and very informative. Thanks. 💯🙂🤘
Holy Stone - Houston TX Thanks for these reviews! I've been looking for gifts for my family and now know what to go purchase for them. I've worked in video editing and can't wait to see your future content.
I took off indoors and banged the prop on the side of my desk. When I tried to run it, the motor with the prop I banged spun very slowly and not in sync at all. When I took it apart I found out that the sprocket was just free spinning around the rotor. I ordered more motors because I thought it was a motor problem (which is not a bad idea to have spares), but they're not here yet and I fixed the problem already with JB Weld. They must have epoxied the gear to the motor to being with and it broke loose when I flipped it over. J. B. Weld works better I think because I did the same dumb thing when I started it and powered up before I was ready and it fell into me. the same prop crashed into me. It held. I've flown two 12 minute flights without problems, doing spirals, high speed, everything I could think of and the thing is holding together. J. B. Weld is awesome stuff.
Hey James . I’ve been watching the vids and then saw a 175d on sale for $123 and your vid talked me into it . A friend too . We decided to go this route before dji and learn how to operate a little better . We re like you with the cars and golf and fun stuff . It s fun and we all like what we like . So I hope we can have chats about these drones since you know what’s going on with them . Seems like there’s a lot of us guys over 50 playing with the toys . Have a great day James , . I’m looking for a quad with super performance , no camera , just a fun flier . Back in the day there was a Bugs 3 quad that was nicely tuned for performance but a good price . Then they dialed the performance back . I still have one of the OG s and it’s a difference ,
Shooting my first music video tomorrow. I'm using this same drone aside my camera, and this video came in handy. I understood it way better than the AI tutorial I watched earlier.
Nice video. I've been learning on the DEERC D-60 for about 4 weeks now. I think I'm ready for a GPS after watching several of your videos. Thank you Sir.
Thanks for a great review and tutorial. I just got mine a couple days ago and the instructions are hard to follow (and read with older eyes). This explained a lot of the little details that I wasn't getting from the manual. I'll check out your other videos.
Thanks for your help great help I didn't get the nice case with mine and I didn't think much of the manual but thanks to you I've just got a much greater understanding of what I'm supposed to be doing
Awesome and informative video. After watching several other videos, I wasn't sure if this would be the one for me as my starter drone, but you shared information that the others didn't. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the awesome video. Finally, a clear and easy to understand review. I’ve been really struggling on which drone to choose for my second one. This just made my decision much easier. Keep the reviews coming brother.
Thank you for the review and tutorial! very easy to follow and so much more easier to understand then the manual. Now, to get the confidence to get out there and give this a shot
@@b4ugo tried it on the garden, crashed into the studio and the fence,......going to try an open field once the wind goes. Haha. Did struggle with getting it going at first. Really excited to get it running properly though.
Thank you for the awesome video its very helpful ! I was just wondering if you could answer one question? When I follow all the steps and connect successfully to the drone I cant see though its camera I have my suspicions its because it has no memory card as I am waiting on a micro sd card to arrive . Many thanks !
I like the comparisons (which I haven't really seen in other vids)! 👍🏽 My question is: does the HS110G have a mode that allows the drone to circle a target? I want to use my drone to shoot music videos. Thanks! 🙏🏾
Beautifull video and awesome review very very technical and full of details! i have buy this drone on Wednesday for the amazon prime days and i tried it today for the first time. The controls are very very sensitive to every movement i have crashed 3 times but the 4th is going better i have only one question where i can buy the drone bag? i have search on amazon and on holystone store but i I haven't found them... sorry for my english i'm an italian subscriber :)
Glad it was helpful! Not sure about the bag, have you tries their customer support? They are very helpful, be carefull and keep it low and slow in the beginning
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but when I get it all calibrated and I start the props it takes off uncontrollable, it goes where it wants to. What's wrong? Any suggestions. Thank you
Are you keeping it level when you calibrate it? Also make sure it isn’t close to metal when you are doing a Compas calibration, the Gyro calibration is usually what causes drone to fly strange, try resetting it, let me know thanks
Great video as usual. As far as the recommendations for new flyers, the HS210 in Green is $39.89 with discount and the U61 is $50.99 with discount but you said go with the U61??
Yes, it comes with a pretty decent camera and flies pretty good outside. If you just want to learn to fly and just fly indoors nothing flies as good and is as much fun as the HS210 but the U61 is a better value. I’m sure the 210 will come back down to the $25 range soon.
Hey they have tge HS210 ON AMAZON FOR SALE FOR $39.99. AND THE SANRUCK U61 IS 59.99 WITH CAMERA ON IT ...... I JUST GOT MY HS110G I GOT ON AMAZON FOR $155 PLUS TAX CAME OUT TO $168 .... I'M ABOUT TO ORDER THE 210 MINI DRONE TO GET SOME SKILL INSIDE ..... BUT I DONT PLAN ON KEEPING IT I DONT THINK I WANNA SPEND ANOTHER $45 AFTER TAKES ON MINI DRONE THAT I COULD ADD ON TO MY LARGER DRONE ...... CAUSE IM NOT POISTIVE IF I'M GONNA WIND UP KEEPING THIS OR UPGRADING A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE $300 RANGE ????? THAT EXTRA $45 WILL PUT ME PRETTY TO THAT RANGE ..... I HAVE THE MONEY BUT I GET SICK OF LITTLE THINGS QUICK AND IT WILL JUST SIT IN MY ROOM FOREVER !!! LOL
I'm debating weather to even order a mini DRONE for inside ....... I might just learn on this DRONE it's small enough and I can upgrade with in 30 days from Amazon!!!! BTW it says it weighs 176 grams on the manual.... weird how his scale was q88 grams ...... I'd rather it be heavier to that 250 gram mark for outside !!!!! So wind doesn't take it !!!!
Hello and greetings from Germany! I bought this drone as a beginner drone to see what it's like to fly a drone. When I wanted to try it out, it would not connect & the remote unit (controller) constantly showed me (via the app) that the battery would be empty. A connection was not possible. My problem was simply the order of pairing the devices together. I guess I misunderstood the manual =( *facepalm*. Your video was displayed to me by chance. That was probably fate. I wanted to send the drone back due to a defective battery of the remote unit. But with you I saw the correct sequence of pairing the devices and tried again. And lo and behold, it works! Without problems. A bit stupid I feel now already...... :D Anyway, you helped me a lot. Your video introducing this drone was really great! Thanks a lot!
Sorry, missed this, thanks so much, yes, even expensive drone have to have a pre-start checklist before flight. Glad you got it figured out, most people just blame the drone!
I'm torn between getting this one or a hs440! It's so frustrating I don't know what to get,,, I've learned how to fly with a cheap E88 and now I'm ready for a better one, but really don't know which one out of the 2 do I get folks,, the hs440 or this one?
Good info but I'm not sure you were able to relay how exactly to program the gps on the app . I can bring up the map but how do you tell the drone where to go , how high to fly and return I would like to program it to fly out to the chicken coup on our property hover, look around and then come back this is to check for any animals trying to get in and eat the birds the coup is about the distance of a city block or just under a quarter mile . I would appreciate some help once again great video I did come away with some info I did not catch when reading the instructions. I am flying the hg110g all the l best sir .
I wouldnt use the map or waypoints with a Budget drone, they are really meant to learn how to fly, also, with brushed motors they will wear out way faster than brushless motors. I thought I showed the RTH settings, thanks for wathcing
This is my first time flying a drone!!🥵 let me ask you a stupid question!!🤔 does the Wi-Fi come from the smartphone???? Thank you so much and God bless!!😇
@@b4ugo well thank you so much I appreciate that I'm actually 72 years old!!🤣 boys and their toys right!! That helped me tremendously!! It should be here from Amazon in about 4 days will God bless you thank you have a blessed night!!🙏😇
I was gifted one of these but the hs175d is currently the same price. Would it be worth trying to exchange it? I'd like to be able to avoid having the propellers in the image and charge the battery outside of the drone itself.
Did you mention that if its video footage you want then this is not the product to purchase and it thats the case what would you recomment at a good price? Thanks
When I start my drone it tilts to the side and hits the blades on the side. My propellers say A1 and A2 & then B1 and B2. Can you help me fix it from tilting and not taking off
For some reason mine gets in the air and I go one way and and goes the other and also it doesn't hover in one spot it moves around and it drifts how do I fix that
Make sure its on a flat surface and there is no metal when you are setting the gyro’s and try resetting the Compas calibration. Both are really important, even on $30,000 drones
No, its more of a beginner drone, with a really good pilot it could drop something really small but even the remote devce would probably weight to much, get a used DJI Phantom for a few hundred, they are a workhorse and stable.
So, show how it can "fly a pattern" {push a button, take off to set altitude, fly a 3-point pattern landing on two of the points and return home & land...} unassisted.
Ok so I set mine up in my bedroom that's why it kept saying searching for Satellite.... I am right by my window and did get it to fly once off my bed into the closet door and tge battery popped out ...lol So I guess I have to go outside ..... if I want to fly it indoors and I'm still not sure how to turn the GPS OFF ..... IVE HIT THE BOTTON ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE CONTROLERS THAT I GUESS IS TGE COMPASS BUTTON ??? WITH N,S,W,E DIRECTIONS ON IT ......VIVE TRIED EVERYTHING..... I VE GOTTEN TO WEAR THE CAMERA WORKS .... YOU MAKE THE CALEBRATING LOOK SIMPLE !!!!! PAIN IN THE BUTT TO DO EVERYTIME ..... I ORDERED THE SANDROCK U61 THATS COMING TOMMOROW SO I CAN GET SOME SKILL INDOORS ..... BUT I WANT TO RETURN THIS DRONE MAYBE AND UPHRADE .... IDK .... I HAVEN'T EVEN FLOWN ONE YET BUT I DONT WANT TO WASTE MONEY ON A COLLECTION OF DRONES WERE I CAN BUY ALOT NICER ONE MAYBE FOR $300 RANGE ???? ONE THAT I DONT HAVE TO CALIBRATE EVERYTIME AND CAN JUST TAKE OFF , RTH GPS A MUST NIGHT VISION A MUST ( I THOUGHT NIGHT VISION WOULD BE ON ALL OF THEM SINCE CHEAP LITTLE $15 CAMERAS HAVE THEM ..... IDK IF MINE EVEN HAS NIGHT VISION BUT I DON'T THINK SO ?? ) INFLUGHT CANERA WERE I CAN ADJUST TGE CAMERA OR ATLEAST ADJUST IT WHEN ITS STILL .... I THOUGHT THEY SAID TGIS HAD THE INFLIGHT CAMERA BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT ???? WHATS A GOOD DRONE OR 2 FOR $300 - $350 ABOUT ???????????
You will love the Sanrock U61, every drone (even $15k drones need to have a Compas calibration) you get used to it. Try doing 360 of them for a drone show! Your arms get tired, lol. I need to make a video on that. The DJI MiniSE is hands down the best drone for $299, I think they sell it $100 to cheap.
@@b4ugo Awsome ..... thanks for the Reply , I appreciate it so far only you , CaptinDrone , and one other guy has replied , alit of LIKES ... BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME .. .LOL I ACTUALLY HAVE THE SANDROCK U61 ABOUT TO BE DELIVERED ANY SECOND , AMAZON JUST GAVE ME A NOTIFICATION THAT THERE 10 STOPS AWAY, ABOUT 20 MIN AGO !!!!! LOL WOW ... I DIDN'T EXPEXT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CALIBRATE THIS DRONE ....LOL !!!!! And yes I can imagine your arms must be dead after celebrating them .... I got a little bit use to it my first day .... only used one battery's worth , there was a tiny tiny breeze and it was getting taken away a bit ...... 188 grams ( well it saysx176 but I saw it weighed on a scale and was 188 maybe that with the battery in ....) but I would want minimum 250 grams , I'm probably gonna return the HS110G and spend a bit more
@@b4ugo AND YES CALEBERATING THEM IS A PAIN - I STARTED TO GET THE HANG IF IT ,LUCKILY EVERYTIME THE WIND TOOK IT OR MY IN EXPERIENCEAND IT FELL OR CRASHED THE BATTERY UNCLIPPS BUT DOESNT FALL OUT , AND I JUST POPPED IT BACK IN EVERY TIME AND IT JUST AUTOMATICALLY RESET , I JUST HAD TO UNLOCK THE MOTOR ( WICH WAS A MYSTERY TO ME AT FIRST ..LOL ) , WHEN I WATCHED UA-cam VIDEOS BEFORE I GOT IT THE GUY TOOK YOU THROUGH UNBOXING IT AND HE EVEN SAID IF YOU HIT THE " LEARN TO FLY BUTTON " ITS PRETTY MUCH USELESS ... IT JUST TAKES YOU TO A UA-cam VIDEO LIKE 1 MIN LONG AND ITS SOME CHINESE GUY CALEBRATING THE DRONE SO FAST !!!!! YOU COULDN'T TELL WHAT HE WAS DOING IF YOU PUT IT IN SLIW MOTION , REMINDED ME OF WHEN I WAS A 15 -17 YR OLD KID GOING TO CLUBS AND THERES ALWAYS THAT ONE CHUBBY CHINESE GUY DANCING BY HIMSELF WITH NEON LIGHTS IN HIS HANDS DOING ALL CRAZY MOTIONS FOR HOURS PROBABLY ON ECSTASY !!! LOL I SAW IN A VIDEO THAT THE GUY SAID THE BEST MINI DRONE TO LEARN YOUR SKILLS ON IS THE HS220 wich I saw was very small but he said the price has gone up so high on it you might as well get the Sandrock U61... I saw it was about 2x the Size and had a Camera 📷.... so the camera made me go from $40 -$60 DRONE..... but I wish that the U61 had the 360 Flip button to do tricks on !!!! And ALSO I HAD NO IDEA THAT I NEEDED THE SATELLITE TO OPERATE IT , I WAS EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO FLY IT AROUND FROM MY BRDROOM AROUND THE HOUSE DOWNSTAIRS WATCHING ON MY CAMERA !!! I DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE GPS MODE .... EVEN THOUGH WHEN I WAS FLYING OUTSIDE ALL OF SUDEN I COULDN'T GET THE CAMERA TO WORK , AND WAS JUST WATCHING IT FLY ???!!!!

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😯
Have you tried other phones? Or even a IPad? It connected for me perfectly every time, A year or two ago I did have problems with some HS drones contenting but not in the last year.
Yes, don’t use it, lol. It doesn’t have obstacle avoidance. Unless you are in a wide open area, it’s just not worth it, this drone is gray for what it’s designed for. I wish they didn’t even put autonomously features with it. Thanks for watching!
Nice! HolyStone made the HS110 with GPS? That pretty cool. Thanks for sharing it with us! God bless you and stay safe my friend.

All the four lights of my drone have red indicator lights, please tell me what is the reason?
Are you following a prestart checklist? Compas calibration and gyro’s?
Awesome review. Any drone with moving camera?
Not on this drone, you will have to go up on price point to get a gimbal on a drone, thanks for watching
@@b4ugo thanks for the answer one more Question you think the camera good for a beginner to record Paintball ?
If this had some kind of image stabilization it would be just perfect. Do you know of a product that has all these features with any kind of IS?
Yes, there are 100’s, all it takes is money, lol. But, for the money this is a great drone to learn on with GPS, thanks for watching
Beautifull video and awesome review very very technical and full of details! i have buy this drone on Wednesday for the amazon prime days and i tried it today for the first time. The controls are very very sensitive to every movement i have crashed 3 times but the 4th is going better i have only one question where i can buy the drone bag? i have search on amazon and on holystone store but i I haven't found them... sorry for my english i'm an italian subscriber :)
Glad it was helpful! Not sure about the bag, have you tries their customer support? They are very helpful, be carefull and keep it low and slow in the beginning
@@b4ugo thanks for the reply i'll try!! :)
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but when I get it all calibrated and I start the props it takes off uncontrollable, it goes where it wants to. What's wrong? Any suggestions. Thank you
Are you keeping it level when you calibrate it? Also make sure it isn’t close to metal when you are doing a Compas calibration, the Gyro calibration is usually what causes drone to fly strange, try resetting it, let me know thanks
Great video as usual. As far as the recommendations for new flyers, the HS210 in Green is $39.89 with discount and the U61 is $50.99 with discount but you said go with the U61??
Yes, it comes with a pretty decent camera and flies pretty good outside. If you just want to learn to fly and just fly indoors nothing flies as good and is as much fun as the HS210 but the U61 is a better value. I’m sure the 210 will come back down to the $25 range soon.
Hey they have tge HS210 ON AMAZON FOR SALE FOR $39.99. AND THE SANRUCK U61 IS 59.99 WITH CAMERA ON IT ...... I JUST GOT MY HS110G I GOT ON AMAZON FOR $155 PLUS TAX CAME OUT TO $168 ....
I'M ABOUT TO ORDER THE 210 MINI DRONE TO GET SOME SKILL INSIDE ..... BUT I DONT PLAN ON KEEPING IT I DONT THINK I WANNA SPEND ANOTHER $45 AFTER TAKES ON MINI DRONE THAT I COULD ADD ON TO MY LARGER DRONE ......
CAUSE IM NOT POISTIVE IF I'M GONNA WIND UP KEEPING THIS OR UPGRADING A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE $300 RANGE ????? THAT EXTRA $45 WILL PUT ME PRETTY TO THAT RANGE .....
I HAVE THE MONEY BUT I GET SICK OF LITTLE THINGS QUICK AND IT WILL JUST SIT IN MY ROOM FOREVER !!! LOL
I'm debating weather to even order a mini DRONE for inside ....... I might just learn on this DRONE it's small enough and I can upgrade with in 30 days from Amazon!!!!
BTW it says it weighs 176 grams on the manual.... weird how his scale was q88 grams ...... I'd rather it be heavier to that 250 gram mark for outside !!!!! So wind doesn't take it !!!!
I'm just learning thank you for the education
Hello and greetings from Germany!
I bought this drone as a beginner drone to see what it's like to fly a drone.
When I wanted to try it out, it would not connect & the remote unit (controller) constantly showed me (via the app) that the battery would be empty. A connection was not possible.
My problem was simply the order of pairing the devices together. I guess I misunderstood the manual =( *facepalm*.
Your video was displayed to me by chance. That was probably fate. I wanted to send the drone back due to a defective battery of the remote unit.
But with you I saw the correct sequence of pairing the devices and tried again. And lo and behold, it works! Without problems.
A bit stupid I feel now already...... :D
Anyway, you helped me a lot. Your video introducing this drone was really great!
Thanks a lot!
Sorry, missed this, thanks so much, yes, even expensive drone have to have a pre-start checklist before flight.
Glad you got it figured out, most people just blame the drone!
Hi love your video's very informative, my question is can I fit my samsung s23 ultra phone in the controller grips ?
I'm torn between getting this one or a hs440! It's so frustrating I don't know what to get,,, I've learned how to fly with a cheap E88 and now I'm ready for a better one, but really don't know which one out of the 2 do I get folks,, the hs440 or this one?
Good info but I'm not sure you were able to relay how exactly to program the gps on the app . I can bring up the map but how do you tell the drone where to go , how high to fly and return I would like to program it to fly out to the chicken coup on our property hover, look around and then come back this is to check for any animals trying to get in and eat the birds the coup is about the distance of a city block or just under a quarter mile . I would appreciate some help once again great video I did come away with some info I did not catch when reading the instructions. I am flying the hg110g all the l best sir .
I wouldnt use the map or waypoints with a Budget drone, they are really meant to learn how to fly, also, with brushed motors they will wear out way faster than brushless motors. I thought I showed the RTH settings, thanks for wathcing
I’ve just bought mine. The drone battery is not charging got it connected for 4 hours now. Still not turning on😭 help
Something’s off, make sure everything is connected securely. Did you try switching batteries?
16:06 what drone are you using at the end is it still the HS110G with a camera mounted on top or a different one?
Just got this drone because of your review! Very pleased- thank you!!
Proud to report the alien 👽 attack button works‼️😁👍👍🦾🦾
lol, fun little drone, great to learn on
Thank You James B4UGO 🍺🍺
This is my first time flying a drone!!🥵 let me ask you a stupid question!!🤔 does the Wi-Fi come from the smartphone???? Thank you so much and God bless!!😇
Yes sir, has nothing to do with your homes wi-fi! Enjoy! Take it easy at first but nothing to be scared of!
@@b4ugo well thank you so much I appreciate that I'm actually 72 years old!!🤣 boys and their toys right!! That helped me tremendously!! It should be here from Amazon in about 4 days will God bless you thank you have a blessed night!!🙏😇
I wanna order this drone, but it's my first time flying. Should I try it, or is it too advanced for a rookie pilot lol
I would start with. A mini drone like the HS210F first
James, does Holy Stone make a drone like the hs 110g, with brushless motors?
I was gifted one of these but the hs175d is currently the same price. Would it be worth trying to exchange it?
I'd like to be able to avoid having the propellers in the image and charge the battery outside of the drone itself.
I like the 175D a bit more, Its just a couple of years newer and years in drones are like Dog years, lol. They both are great budget drones!
Did you mention that if its video footage you want then this is not the product to purchase and it thats the case what would you recomment at a good price? Thanks
When I start my drone it tilts to the side and hits the blades on the side. My propellers say A1 and A2 & then B1 and B2. Can you help me fix it from tilting and not taking off
Did you try setting the Gyro’s?
For some reason mine gets in the air and I go one way and and goes the other and also it doesn't hover in one spot it moves around and it drifts how do I fix that
Make sure its on a flat surface and there is no metal when you are setting the gyro’s and try resetting the Compas calibration. Both are really important, even on $30,000 drones
Can this drone be used to carry bait out for fishing?
No, its more of a beginner drone, with a really good pilot it could drop something really small but even the remote devce would probably weight to much, get a used DJI Phantom for a few hundred, they are a workhorse and stable.
Can you fly it without hocking up Wi-Fi and a phone?
Yes, but without using the app it will not be connected to GPS, but it will still fly fine, thanks for watching! Jmaes
Sometimes they don’t respond when higher up right away or lose connection and go wonky ? Or am I the only fella
So, show how it can "fly a pattern" {push a button, take off to set altitude, fly a 3-point pattern landing on two of the points and return home & land...} unassisted.
Ok so I set mine up in my bedroom that's why it kept saying searching for Satellite.... I am right by my window and did get it to fly once off my bed into the closet door and tge battery popped out ...lol
So I guess I have to go outside ..... if I want to fly it indoors and I'm still not sure how to turn the GPS OFF ..... IVE HIT THE BOTTON ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE CONTROLERS THAT I GUESS IS TGE COMPASS BUTTON ??? WITH N,S,W,E DIRECTIONS ON IT ......VIVE TRIED EVERYTHING..... I VE GOTTEN TO WEAR THE CAMERA WORKS ....
YOU MAKE THE CALEBRATING LOOK SIMPLE !!!!! PAIN IN THE BUTT TO DO EVERYTIME ..... I ORDERED THE SANDROCK U61 THATS COMING TOMMOROW SO I CAN GET SOME SKILL INDOORS ..... BUT I WANT TO RETURN THIS DRONE MAYBE AND UPHRADE .... IDK .... I HAVEN'T EVEN FLOWN ONE YET BUT I DONT WANT TO WASTE MONEY ON A COLLECTION OF DRONES WERE I CAN BUY ALOT NICER ONE MAYBE FOR $300 RANGE ????
ONE THAT I DONT HAVE TO CALIBRATE EVERYTIME AND CAN JUST TAKE OFF , RTH GPS A MUST NIGHT VISION A MUST ( I THOUGHT NIGHT VISION WOULD BE ON ALL OF THEM SINCE CHEAP LITTLE $15 CAMERAS HAVE THEM ..... IDK IF MINE EVEN HAS NIGHT VISION BUT I DON'T THINK SO ?? ) INFLUGHT CANERA WERE I CAN ADJUST TGE CAMERA OR ATLEAST ADJUST IT WHEN ITS STILL .... I THOUGHT THEY SAID TGIS HAD THE INFLIGHT CAMERA BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT ???? WHATS A GOOD DRONE OR 2 FOR $300 - $350 ABOUT ???????????
You will love the Sanrock U61, every drone (even $15k drones need to have a Compas calibration) you get used to it. Try doing 360 of them for a drone show! Your arms get tired, lol. I need to make a video on that.
The DJI MiniSE is hands down the best drone for $299, I think they sell it $100 to cheap.
@@b4ugo Awsome ..... thanks for the Reply , I appreciate it so far only you , CaptinDrone , and one other guy has replied , alit of LIKES ... BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME .. .LOL
I ACTUALLY HAVE THE SANDROCK U61 ABOUT TO BE DELIVERED ANY SECOND , AMAZON JUST GAVE ME A NOTIFICATION THAT THERE 10 STOPS AWAY, ABOUT 20 MIN AGO !!!!! LOL
WOW ... I DIDN'T EXPEXT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CALIBRATE THIS DRONE ....LOL !!!!! And yes I can imagine your arms must be dead after celebrating them .... I got a little bit use to it my first day .... only used one battery's worth , there was a tiny tiny breeze and it was getting taken away a bit ...... 188 grams ( well it saysx176 but I saw it weighed on a scale and was 188 maybe that with the battery in ....) but I would want minimum 250 grams , I'm probably gonna return the HS110G and spend a bit more
@@b4ugo AND YES CALEBERATING THEM IS A PAIN - I STARTED TO GET THE HANG IF IT ,LUCKILY EVERYTIME THE WIND TOOK IT OR MY IN EXPERIENCEAND IT FELL OR CRASHED THE BATTERY UNCLIPPS BUT DOESNT FALL OUT , AND I JUST POPPED IT BACK IN EVERY TIME AND IT JUST AUTOMATICALLY RESET , I JUST HAD TO UNLOCK THE MOTOR ( WICH WAS A MYSTERY TO ME AT FIRST ..LOL ) , WHEN I WATCHED UA-cam VIDEOS BEFORE I GOT IT THE GUY TOOK YOU THROUGH UNBOXING IT AND HE EVEN SAID IF YOU HIT THE
" LEARN TO FLY BUTTON " ITS PRETTY MUCH USELESS ... IT JUST TAKES YOU TO A UA-cam VIDEO LIKE 1 MIN LONG AND ITS SOME CHINESE GUY CALEBRATING THE DRONE SO FAST !!!!! YOU COULDN'T TELL WHAT HE WAS DOING IF YOU PUT IT IN SLIW MOTION , REMINDED ME OF WHEN I WAS A 15 -17 YR OLD KID GOING TO CLUBS AND THERES ALWAYS THAT ONE CHUBBY CHINESE GUY DANCING BY HIMSELF WITH NEON LIGHTS IN HIS HANDS DOING ALL CRAZY MOTIONS FOR HOURS PROBABLY ON ECSTASY !!! LOL
I SAW IN A VIDEO THAT THE GUY SAID THE BEST MINI DRONE TO LEARN YOUR SKILLS ON IS THE HS220 wich I saw was very small but he said the price has gone up so high on it you might as well get the Sandrock U61... I saw it was about 2x the Size and had a Camera 📷.... so the camera made me go from $40 -$60 DRONE..... but I wish that the U61 had the 360 Flip button to do tricks on !!!!
And ALSO I HAD NO IDEA THAT I NEEDED THE SATELLITE TO OPERATE IT , I WAS EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO FLY IT AROUND FROM MY BRDROOM AROUND THE HOUSE DOWNSTAIRS WATCHING ON MY CAMERA !!! I DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE GPS MODE .... EVEN THOUGH WHEN I WAS FLYING OUTSIDE ALL OF SUDEN I COULDN'T GET THE CAMERA TO WORK , AND WAS JUST WATCHING IT FLY ???!!!! I HAD THE CAMERA WORKING INSIDE ....
AND YES I'M A NEWBIE, SO THESE LONG QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS I CAN IMAGINE ARE ANNOYING .... BUT I APPRECIATE IT .... IM BIG INTO RC RACING 1/5 SCALE ELETRIC AND GAS POWERED CARS AND TRUCKS ,WICH I LIKE A BIT MORE SO THATS WHY I HAD NO PROBLEM SPENDING $1500 ON MY FIRST ONE GETTING THE BEST ONE AND THE $650 ON ANOTHER FEW MINTHS LATER AND PROBABLY $1500 IN EXTRAS
@@b4ugo OHH ..... SORRY LAST COMMENT .... JUST REALIZED IT WAS YOUR VIDEO I WATCHED , AND YOU I LIKED THE BEST !!!!! WICH IS WHY I WENT AND BOUGHT THE MINI DRONE TO GET MY SKILLS GOOD INSIDE AND WENT WITH THE ONES YOU SAID , I SUBSCRIBED AND RANG THE BELL THING ...... IM 38YRS OLD , SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I NEED A 10 YR OLD TO HELP ME WITH ELECTRONICS THESE DAYS , SO I GIVE YOU COMPLIMENTS FOR BEING AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SMART AS YOU ARE WITH THEM !!!!!!!
NO FUN TODAY OUTSIDE , CRAZY STORM IN LONG ISLAND , BUT MY U61 JUST ARRIVED , IM GONNA GO OPEN IT UP ...... THANKS AGAIN 😊 🙏 😊
Is this drone compatible with iPhone 13 Pro Max?
Yeppers, that’s the phone I have , thanks for watching
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😯
I can't get my camera to work ...somebody help! 😄
Try deleting the app and reinstalling it, have you tried a different device?
@@b4ugo I got it too work last night but it didn't work after I changed the battery. I'll try deleting the app
I want this drone plz help me..
I posted a link
too bad it doesn't always connect. I got this for Christmas and have not had any luck connecting this drone to a phone, gps won't engage, good luck
Have you tried other phones? Or even a IPad? It connected for me perfectly every time, A year or two ago I did have problems with some HS drones contenting but not in the last year.
Hated mine. Too much setting up before take off. The. On take off it tilted to one side and just ground propellors into the earth.!
Sorry, pretty much all drones need a pre start prestart checklist, if not followed they will be uncontrollable
I'm trying to cut the power off my remote control and it
Nice review and I have this one along with 9 other “birds” but if you can afford it, go cop a DJI Mav Pro…..they are the best!
I have every DJI drone, these are great fro beginners!
Attacking an alien
Or Allen’s?
Lol
Yeah I still have no idea what that button does but I see aliens I will give em hell lol
Hard pass...
why?
Is there anything you can tell us about the "Tapfly" mode or waypoint flights using this drones app?
Yes, don’t use it, lol. It doesn’t have obstacle avoidance. Unless you are in a wide open area, it’s just not worth it, this drone is gray for what it’s designed for. I wish they didn’t even put autonomously features with it. Thanks for watching!
@@b4ugo Will be using it mostly in extremely open spaces. Would like to use the feature if I can.
