It super nice it come with all you need to fly it the camera it good and Beginner friendly it a good price

Good slight issue like it is in the advert great stability good for beginners .i would say that the camera can lag greatly and makes it hard to fly good value for money and has a great battery life . The flip button is very fun to use and when the camera doesn’t lag it makes a good photo

My son bought this drone with his Christmas money and was incredibly excited to fly it. We followed the instructions carefully, completed the calibration, and used the take-off button as instructed. Initially, the drone lifted and hovered correctly, so everything appeared to be working as promised. However, as soon as we gently pushed the controller to ascend just a few feet, the drone suddenly accelerated away at speed. It flew over the park, over nearby houses, and off across open fields. From that moment on, it did not respond to any controls at all — including the emergency landing button. There was no way to stop it, slow it down, or bring it back. It simply disappeared. This was the very first flight, in suitable conditions, and after following all setup procedures. This was not misuse or inexperience — the drone was clearly faulty and completely uncontrollable. A product that can fly away instantly and ignore all commands is not safe, not reliable, and certainly not fit for purpose. My son is absolutely gutted, and as a parent it’s incredibly frustrating to see £50 of his own money wasted on something that failed immediately. The product promised a stable, controllable flight experience but delivered the opposite. I would strongly caution other buyers, especially parents purchasing this for children. Based on our experience, this drone cannot be trusted.

I recently purchased the HS290 drone, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The drone is incredibly easy to set up and fly, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced pilots. The stability and control are excellent, and the image quality of the camera is superb, capturing clear and vibrant footage. The HS290's battery life is impressive, allowing for extended flight sessions without frequent recharging. Additionally, the drone's design is sleek and durable, with intuitive controls that enhance the overall flying experience. Overall, the HS290 offers fantastic value for its price. It's a reliable and high-performing drone that has exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch aerial experience!

Great starter drone easy to set up, however the camera is very poor quality and freezes once it is up in the air and not far from controller

I bought this for my son’s 10th birthday. It’s an excellent drone, and very easy to fly thanks to the automatic takeoff mode. It’s fun For both children and adults to fly, and is excellent value for money. If your main purpose is to take video or photos, then this probably is not the drone for you as the video / photo quality is not the best. I’d recommend looking for a 4K camera drone in this case. For flying around and having some fun, this is a super drone for the money. The flying range is great too, at near 100m.

really good quality camera and drone is very gopd very easy to use i did it really easily wirhout even using the insctuctions the only thing i saw was the app i had to go on and just stay away from trees and apart from tbst i would highly recommend it over 100 times :-)

C'était ma première expérience avec un drone et cet appareil est idéal pour débuter! Le drone est petit et léger et il est assez facile pour un débutant d'apprendre à le contrôler. Je conseille toutefois de commencer à le faire voler à l'extérieur pour bien apprendre à le contrôler avant de passer à l'intérieur. La télécommande répond bien et l'application pour téléphone fonctionne parfaitement. Elle permet de contrôler le drone et de prendre des photos et des vidéos à 720 p. Les deux batteries rechargeables permettent chacune environ 15 minutes de vol, ce qui est suffisant à mon avis, car un séance de 30 minutes suffit pour se pratiquer et s'amuser. Il faut compter ensuite environ une heure pour recharger chaque batterie avec le chargeur fourni. Ce drone est parfait pour débuter, mais il faut lire attentivement le manuel d'instruction fourni pour le calibrer et apprendre ses différentes fonctionnalités. J'apprécie notamment les fonctions qui permettent de faire tourner automatiquement le drone sur lui-même. Cela donne l'impression d'être passé à un niveau supérieur, même si tout se fait automatiquement. Je ne confierais pas ce drone à un enfant de moins de 8 ans, à moins de le superviser de près et de tenir la télécommande pour l'aider.

After researching several different drones, i decided to buy this one, the Holy Stone HS110G.... it was given as a gift from my mother to my son. The directions and assembly were decent and easy. I love the fact that it has a return to home feature, and Auto takeoff and landing. My son is 10 years old, and this is his first drone. The app is simple to use, and the picture quality is great. CONS: My only complaint so far is the batteries..... the kit comes with 2 batteries, which have approx 10-13 min of run time each, which is not horrible.... but to charge the batteries, they need to be in the drone.... the drone is the charger. This is very inconvenient. I saw on Holy Stones website that there is a Charging Hub, with room for 2 Batteries, but Amazon says it is Unavailabe, and not sure if it will become availabe. I noticed that other models offer a USB plug port on the battery itself, this is not an option with these batteries. Overall, i feel this is a great choice for a kid/teen/adult first drone.

** Original review: This is false advertising. The company significantly changed this product offering but did not change the description. I assume cost-cutting. The item comes with only one battery - it says two on here. Pretty useless without an extra battery. They carrying case has also been eliminated. Carrying it around with out a case is a recipe for damage. Returning the product - I can get a similar drone with extra batteries and carrying case.*** So - that happened. I was contacted by a customer rep from the company and offered replacement with 2 batteries and a case, as originally advertised. And yes, it was delivered as promised. Test fpre bhis is great customer service - very responsive. Anyway, once I got the replacement drone, I set it up relatively easily. Tried around the yard. It was a cold and windy day - not the best for drones. But this drone - a bit shaky in wind - did quite well and it is easy to control. The quality of the video is excellent when seen on an iPhone. Very high quality and clear. For me, this is an excellent drone for beginners if you want to practice and learn how to effectively use a drone. This drone has all features of more expensive drones - the difference will be in ruggedness and construction. Excellent drone for beginners at a great price.

Purchased for a 10 year old, quick learning curve with the features built into unit. Great service from Holy Stone in providing solutions to one of the motors that was not providing the correct lift. Prompt reply and follow up and excellent solutions. would recommend this unit as a beginner drone.

A nice drone that is a good fit for beginners and those looking for something that has some advanced features and a reasonable price. The controls are intuitive making the drone easy to fly. With some practice, it can be flow with a decent amount of accuracy and precision. We are enjoying improving our skills with it. If you are flying it in an area with obstacles, take care when using the Auto Return function. The included 2 batteries are great to give more flight time with it especially when away from home. The case is great to protect the drone when transporting it and storing it. We had an issue with one of the motors, and the drone was already past the initial warranty. I contracted their help site to request how I could buy a new motor. I got an email back within 24 hours. After confirming some information for them, they kindly sent me a new motor which, with some skill, I replaced. The drone is back working any flying good as new. Overall, we’ve been very happy with this drone.
