  • In this episode I take a look at the Holystone HS720E. In some ways it is very similar to the MJXRC Bugs 20 EIS, except the Holystone has foldable arms and props which makes it more portable. The fit and finish on the drone is also very nice. Holystone has sent me 25% off discount codes for Canada and the USA Amazon stores (I don't know how long they are good for). Here is the link to the AMAZON site and Discount Code:
    USA AMAZON customers use this Discount Code: M3WQ67Z4 (10% off)

Your delivery, pace, presentation and attention to information useful to a potential buyer is outstanding. I am likely to buy this Drone as it's within what I'm willing to spend and the quality and feature set seem like a very good value. Your reviews are head and shoulders above other Drone reviews on UA-cam. You're providing a great service while enjoying yourself. That's what it's all about in life. Keep up your good work!

    Great video. I was looking at a DJI Mini 2, pulled the trigger on the HS720E instead. Very pleased. Super easy to operate, stable, easy, safe. Only thing I absolute hate is the charger. HS should have made a more beefy charger that holds the batteries better, lick drop in/ lock. Video is amazing quality.

    Some differences between the HS720E and the original HS720:
    Is heavier than the HS720.
    Has a three minute shorter flight time per battery than the HS720.
    Comes with two batteries compared to the one battery of the HS720.
    Has a new improved camera compared to the HS720.
    May have better image stabilization compared to the HS720.
    Can take a 128GB SD card compared to the HS720 32GB limit.

Now for those just getting started in the hobby that really do not want to fork out $400 to $500 for a drone, especially now here in the US with the FAA secretly plotting the demise of the recreational drone pilot with new and upcoming rules, the HS720E is a great buy.

    I just want to say that I stumbled into one of your videos while doing research on which drone to buy and since it is my first drone I wanted a reliable one that would take good video and wouldn’t break the bank... I am so happy that I landed here! (no pun intended?) You Sir have the best drone videos by far, the way you explain things it makes me feel like if I was there building and playing with the drone. Your videos are fun and when they end I always ask myself “maybe there is a sequel?” I just don’t want to stop watching. I was a bit confused before bumping to your channel since I was trying to decide between the Holy Stone HS720E and the Ruko F11 Pro and to me they’re pretty similar but after watching your videos I decided to go with the HS720E hopefully I made a good decision. I want to thank you for your wisdom, for helping others in a market that keeps growing and for that Amazon 15% discount that really helped! To finish I would like to know what do you think did I made a good decision picking the HS720E over the F11 Pro I would really like to know.

      Haven't flown my old HS7010 drone since last year. It was my first budget drone before my Evo1. I did have lots of fun with it and for the most part it was reliable. I did have a few issues with the remote display. I will say that their customer service was ok. I had to send many pics of the problem before they sent me a new remote. Like many other low end drones. The customer service will drive you crazy hoping you will give up. I didn't. They finally sent me that new remote. Still for the price of the HS720E is a good buy for a fixed camera drone.

    Hi Steve, thank you for the excellent review of the HH720E drone. I have the original HS720 drone that you reviewed 10/2020. The original HS720 is advertised to have image stabilization. The difference between both these HS720 and HS720E is that the hS720E has a new Sony camera. Thank you for supplying a money saving coupon to buy the HS720E for lower cost.

    Great video, as always. I have owned hs 720 (without "e"), it's actually very good drone. You done a review of that one also. I sold it over dji mm, main reason was camera (no gimbal). I see that "e" version is much better in stability of video but of course it can't compare with gimbal camera. But for the budget, it's a great drone. I love al the "follow" function that offers and is really a shame for dji mini that doesn't have all that

    Awesome Cap! Holy Stone really did a remarkable job with the new version of the HS720 (now HS720E) Apart from its super sleek design, the EIS tech they added to the camera takes it up a notch when it comes to the market of budget drones. The price however, is a bit too high at the moment. Hopefully they’ll lower it down a little and make it much more affordable for those with lower budgets.

    This was a great review. You explained a lot of the features very well and made it very simple to understand. I purchased this drone last week and like it a lot. One issue that I have been experiencing and I am wondering if you had experienced the same issue is the Wifi range. On my phone I am getting about 150m before my phone loses signal with the drone and the Wifi feed stops. Once again, great video.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  4 роки тому +1

      WIFI range depends on the type of phone (if it has good wifi and where the antennas in the phone are located) and where you fly. Also, if you have a case on the phone, remove it.

    And Holy Stone was my first 6 drones. I still have them all. The HS100 is my best Holy Stone drone and has a rock solid GPS and it has been reliable, but when I was wanting to upgrade i could not justify spending that kind of money on a Holy Stone drone when the Mavic Mini was only $100 more and I am very glad I bought the Mavic. Now I have 4 DJI drones LOL, but I am not knocking Holy Stone. I just question the reliability. I was a member of a couple of their on line groups and just heard one story after another about this HS720 just flying away, losing connection constantly, and just crashing into objects out of control.
    The HS100 is a great beginner drone for cheap. The camera sucks, but the drone flies great and it always comes home. I don't even use my phone to fly it. I mount an old cell phone to it and hit record before I take off line of sight LOL. The camera broke anyway. You do NOT need the phone to fly the HS100 or the HS270 and if you get lost just hit the RTH button. It won't go far trust me.
    I will say one thing about Holy Stone that is very important. Their customer service is awesome. That alone makes a great beginner drone.

      The biggest question is which one captures+ contains more data for the best footage between these two? The b20 or 720e? Maybe only be a hundred bucks more than Zino pro or a dji mavic mini but some just don't have thar extra $100. Perhaps they just like a drone that doesn't decide if it will fly at all or not, these do what you tell them to when you tell them to.. for the most part anyhow 🤣. Dji can just tell you no, for your safety and others of course.. Hopefully captain does a shootout between this and the b20 for imagine comparison and value. Happy flying.
