Holy Stone - Congratulations on all of your subscribers. My name is Dwight and I live in Mansfield, Ohio. I teach an Aeronautics STEAM/STEM class. My students mostly make fixed winged aircrafts, but we’d like to get into drones. Thank you for the opportunity and the once again, congratulations!
In the Prime Days, the DJI Mini 4K was sold for about 240€. I seriously don't know why anyone would get other drones. I like the variety and enjoy these videos, but yeah, DJI is the best when it comes to cheap and when it comes to expensive drones. The only target left are the unexpensive drones. I don't know if they have ever built a no GPS drone.
I bought this drone after seeing your (and others) video and absolutely love it! it's my first drone and I definitely see where one could become addicted to flying them, the ONLY complaint I might have is not having more drones lol thank you for this video. I had to sub ya! :)
Just follow a Prestart check list and you will be fine, I remember first time I switched battery and forgot and It was flying in a huge circle, I finally ran fast enough to catch it!
Glad it helped! Interesting channel you have there, i gave up trying to fight weeds, lol, and hired a service for the nest year to help with my lawn, when I bought my home 4 years ago the lawn was all weeds, i sodded but they just keep coming back. Wish I had seen your channel first!
@@b4ugo The undesirable plant fight is never ending. Weeds do get a bad rap, so I also try to point out the benefits when I can. Definitely no place for them in the show piece, but the medicinal benefits are amazing. Thanks again for your help with my drone. Love the tip about the reset each time. I think it will be extremely beneficial to someone like me who has never dealt with a drone.
Nice video. This is my first drone and will try it out later on today. You mentioned that you would put a pre-start checklist in the Description but I don't see anything except your Affiliate links. Am I just overlooking it?
I bought two and both had a issue when flying it would be unstable i recalibrated it multi times but both time I flew it I crashed both drones bc it would all of sudden go right and crashed
Great Idea For a Video, thanks, ill go over not just how but why. Ill have it out buy next weekend, thanks for the idea! Is it ok if I mention you in the video?
Can you suggest good exercises or practice methods to learn flying? I have a new HS175. My friend just bought the HS 270E. We will fly together and could use some beginner pointers. Really like your reviews. Thx
Best Practice is to get a little HS210, or Holytone 330 and fly it till you dont have to even think about it, its really the best way to learn and its a lot of fun! You will not regret it! But with your drone just have an agenda, a mission to practice, not just flying around. Thanks for watching!
@@b4ugo I found some skills to do from simple to more complicated. Makes total sense. It's similar to learning to shift a car before one does it without thinking.
Sorry Steve, I think its on the 720G, lol, I know its out there, ill post it soon to email me at james@b-4ugo,com and ill send you one, thanks for watching
So, I have a question. If you’re out in the field making a video. How do you use the app so you can look at your phone to see exactly what your videoing without WiFi?
This is one of the best instructions on the holy stone 720e. explained all of what you need to know very clear .I have watch many videos on the hs720e and was interested . Going out this week to fly first time .been holding out for stable weather, had this thing since first of year .thanks B4U GO Garry
Gary, this means a lot, sometimes I think the video’s are to long but if I was watching for the first time I would want to know everything, thanks so much!
Follow up with my first flight with the holy stone 720E .went great took some good videos . Was able to control it well .took it to 150 feet and had it return home and landed up right. I did loose site of it ounce ,but then I saw it tackling a tree not ounce but twice . But I've done that before when I got my first drone (up air one ).sometimes you got to hit a few to get the hang of it. The drone came out of the tree with a few minor places on the propeller. (Can I get a clear prop.)
My apologies on asking this during a different review. I have the HS175. I bought a Samsung Tab S lite. It says it's not compatible with the V5 app. Is there another app that will work for my drone? Thanks in advance.
I just bought this one but I’m trying to get like an extra battery/charger pack I heard of to bypass the long charging time of the regular batteries .. thanks
Here is my question. I had a parrot bebop 2. I would turn on GPS turn off wifi and turn on Airplane mode. Worked very well. Could I do the same with the holy stone 720? Thanks for your answer Connie Mack
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!
Got my 720E 4 months ago. I’ve flown it three times now and very excited cause I’m getting better at it. Just a little disappointed that is wouldn’t go as high as I thought. Last time I checked it went only 42 ft high. Do you think that’s the maximum? I really appreciate you making these videos. You’re by far the best by providing your reviews on our favorite drones. Thank you!
Hey appreciate any help.... sooo my hs720e been sitting for a bit.. go to power up.. all good... but when I go to take off.. the propeller motors go nuts! Like max overload spinning only way to stop it is to power off w button on drone :( dangerous luckily I was holding in my hand testing quick instead of normal launch! would of been lost since controller stops responding and seems like motor is spinning beyond its normal range. any ideas whatsoever!? 3 diff battery's all same
James- I crashed my 720e, two broken arms on the left side. Circuitry seems to be undamaged. I see that replacement parts are available, but I don't have the tools or skills to do the job. I am on the southwest coast of Washington state. Any ideas or connections?- I have not found anyone who does this.
Sorry Kirby, I have a 720 that has a broken arm, Ill order a arm for it and make a video about how to change it, i think it’s way easier than you think. I did one on DJI Phantom4 a while back and it was way easier than I thought.

"If it's windy outside you want to leave your GPS on and off." Bruh...Great video, but that is SOOOO confusing...I'm new to drones...Should we leave GPS ON in windy situations or OFF in windy situations? 😳 Please clarify.
The whole reason to have a GPS drone is so it keeps its position if you let go of the sticks, so if its windy, you want to use the GPS, only time you ever want to turn it off if it seems to be acting weird or toilet bowling because of interferance, thanks for wacthing and being smart to ask!
i've never read, or hear anybody say these are "smart batteries" that self discharge. in fact, different information form holystone in different places dont even agree if they ar Li-Po, or Li-Ion. I love my 720E. flies great. but smart batteries they are not sir. a smart battery turns on without it being in the drone so you can check the charge, like the 700E.
You want to learn correctly, it’s not that hard to learn the right way, it gets harder to change back. You don’t want to train your subconscious that way.
@@b4ugo Maybe due to age but on my first drone, I flew it at least 8 hours and still had to think about which way to push the joy stick when it was flying at me, which increased my reaction time which led to many close calls. It was a $50 drone but the problems I had will be the same when I switch to the 720e. It will take a lot of self control to not use headless mode.
I got the drone about a year ago. The worst experiance I have had. Bought a Mini2 a month later and the 720e has never been in the air since. I do like the case and it houses my mini2 just fine. Sorry but I could not trust such an eratic drone as this. One time it landed on its top then I could not shut it off. Customer service was horrible and blamed it on interference.

Thanks Kelly, I just bought my first plan yesterday, I got a Carbon Cub S2, review coming soon, I got it to chase with my FPV’s
HS700e is hands down my favorite Holy Stone. That said I would love to get my hands on the HS600
Holy Stone Nassau NY. Thank you for your hard work!! Very informative
Holy Stone is by far one of the best begginer budget drones. I've really enjoyed mine.
In the Prime Days, the DJI Mini 4K was sold for about 240€. I seriously don't know why anyone would get other drones.
I like the variety and enjoy these videos, but yeah, DJI is the best when it comes to cheap and when it comes to expensive drones. The only target left are the unexpensive drones. I don't know if they have ever built a no GPS drone.
Nice Job!
one of the best videos to watch, gets straight to the point and very helpful. amazing video!
That means a lot Ishan, thanks so Much for watching!
Thank you for a great video I haven’t tried it yet but feel confident about my first flight because of your video
Get the new HS210F and practice till yo can fly it without even thinking about it!
I’ve never flown the H720E but it looks like an awesome drone. Great video James! 💯
I bought this drone after seeing your (and others) video and absolutely love it! it's my first drone and I definitely see where one could become addicted to flying them, the ONLY complaint I might have is not having more drones lol thank you for this video. I had to sub ya! :)
Thanks Randy and welcome to the club, drones allow you to see things that other people cant, thanks for wathcing
8:17 😂 😂 great video just got mine in today was $190 on Amazon wish me luck y’all!
Just follow a Prestart check list and you will be fine, I remember first time I switched battery and forgot and It was flying in a huge circle, I finally ran fast enough to catch it!
Very similar to the Yuneec Mantis Q...really nice
Perfect! New user here and I was so confused until I watched your video. Thank you.

Where is the check list you mentioned for the HS720E you stated you were going to add under description.
Thanks very informative
Nice video. This is my first drone and will try it out later on today. You mentioned that you would put a pre-start checklist in the Description but I don't see anything except your Affiliate links. Am I just overlooking it?
So tell us about the swollen batteries and how you have to freeze the unit to remove the battery..
I bought two and both had a issue when flying it would be unstable i recalibrated it multi times but both time I flew it I crashed both drones bc it would all of sudden go right and crashed
I didn’t see the preflight checklist that you said you would attach.
Sorry Keith, acually I make a new video about that soon! If you need it ill put it there, really thought I did
I'd love to see your suggested preflight checklist!
Great Idea For a Video, thanks, ill go over not just how but why. Ill have it out buy next weekend, thanks for the idea! Is it ok if I mention you in the video?
@@b4ugo I think that would make for a very useful video; I'll be looking out for it! It's certainly okay to mention me.
My 1st drone
I was looking for your startup checklist. I can't find information on waypoinyt or how to set go home button.
Sorry, ill get it in there, also vidoe coming up soon on that subject
Can you suggest good exercises or practice methods to learn flying? I have a new HS175. My friend just bought the HS 270E. We will fly together and could use some beginner pointers. Really like your reviews. Thx

I just purchased the HS720E package today and watched your video. You mentioned a start-up check list but I can't seem to find that.
Sorry Steve, I think its on the 720G, lol, I know its out there, ill post it soon to email me at james@b-4ugo,com and ill send you one, thanks for watching
I had my HS720E out today and went through both battery packs without any issues. Thanks

#Holy Stone - Edwin from Las Piñas City, Philippines
I just bought this one but I’m trying to get like an extra battery/charger pack I heard of to bypass the long charging time of the regular batteries .. thanks
Yes, DrFlygood has a video on it I think, I know there is one out there
720e No doubt it don't slow down fast, came back ran into the house and luckily it just knocked the battery out. Be careful
Yes, the more expensive drones have a brake setting, the 720G I just got is even way faster, I can post the review as soon as they release it.
Here is my question. I had a parrot bebop 2. I would turn on GPS turn off wifi and turn on Airplane mode. Worked very well. Could I do the same with the holy stone 720? Thanks for your answer
Connie Mack
Maybe you can help? I have moverio bt-300 smart glasses is this drone compatibility with them you know?
I am pretty sure its only works with the type you put your phone into, sorry, but thanks for wathcing
Something like the HS175D
Is which what I have
I like it
nothing at all like it, actually
I love this holy Stone drone my very first one that I brought
Thanks so much NicK!

Check your settings, 1 make sure it’s not in beginner mode, second you can set the max height and distance, thanks so much for your kind words Will!
You just showed me how to enjoy my drone to its maximum! Thanks again !!!
Hey appreciate any help.... sooo my hs720e been sitting for a bit.. go to power up.. all good... but when I go to take off.. the propeller motors go nuts!

Sounds like something is up with the ECU, How long was it sitting? Did it ever get wet?
Hello, what is the way to factory reset the controller please.
Good question, is there something wrong? Cant really change anything on the controller.
James- I crashed my 720e, two broken arms on the left side. Circuitry seems to be undamaged. I see that replacement parts are available, but I don't have the tools or skills to do the job. I am on the southwest coast of Washington state. Any ideas or connections?- I have not found anyone who does this.
Sorry Kirby, I have a 720 that has a broken arm, Ill order a arm for it and make a video about how to change it, i think it’s way easier than you think. I did one on DJI Phantom4 a while back and it was way easier than I thought.
Also is the "Circle me" option on this drone?
Yes, it’s called “Point of Interest” on the App, it’s on the left, check for obstacles!
Hey buddy I have the 720 I just cannot connect the camera I tried everything I don’t know what it is I get the satellites
“FBIVAN” lol
LoL, my son did that, i have had some neighbors talk about it and I act like I was wondering who they where watching too. Thanks for watching
How do i switch my controller back onto mode 2.
Its in the instructions, its under settings, yes, you dont want to fly in the wrong mode
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😯
What camera do you use for your drone piggy back shots?
A Insta360Go, they weight 9 grams
Holy smoke.....it's almost as expensive as the drone.......lol
Is there a better charger and battery?
No, they Proprietary batteries and charger, but the 720 G has much longer flight time, did you get the 720e or looking?
Is the hs720g better quality my hs720e quality is not the best
yes, better flight time, camera and over all flight, what is your problem with the 720e?
@B4U GO just poor video quality I'm gonna go for the dji mini 2se
😱😱😱😱😍😍😍

but nobody uses the ophelia go app. everybody switches to the M RC Pro.

Why never fly headless mode ?
