Holy Stone HS360S GPS Drone with 4K Camera for Adults, 20 Mins Flight Time, RC Quadcopter with GPS, Intelligent Follow Mode, Auto Return, Tap Fly, Altitude Hold, Time-lapse Photography

So I debated for a while as to which drone to buy. I’m new to all of this and didn’t want to spend to much on a first drone. I kept getting drawn back to this hs360s and decided after a while to take the plunge! It arrived the next day after ordering it and I was keen to get started. I had read the set up was tricky but to be honest it was very straight forward and easy to follow. So far so good. The drone seems well built although I don’t have previous drones to compare it too. It also came with spare propellers which I didn’t expect. Then I tried to connect my iPhone 14 pro max. I thought it had connected and sent my drone up. No image on my phone! Yet the drone was flying well and very stable in a slight wind. The return home worked well but I was struggling with my phone. I tried my sons phone and it connected straight away hence the photo. After a few more test flights using my sons phone it was quite easy to get to grips with the drone and I have to say although the image is quite dark(it was late evening) the quality seems good. So back to my phone. Getting frustrated now as still no image. I contacted customer service and they were exceptionally quick to respond and tried everything for me but to no avail. Now this is where I feel a bit daft. I decided to look at my phones charger socket…it was full of dust and muck!!!! Once cleaned out hey presto connection straight away. By now though it was to dark to fly!Overall impressions a good little compact drone that seems well built. Image quality seems good and for the price I’m happy with what I have got. Also comes with a camera protector and a handy case. Looking forward to a bit more air time tomorrow. I will update the post if anything changes but for me this is a great drone for the price.

Wow, what a brilliant drone for the price! Got this for my son (age 12) as an upgrade from the HS280D as he liked my GPS drone so much and was so good at flying both.I have to say I’m amazed at the quality and performance of this budget drone. It feels very sturdy and well produced. It’s extremely stable in the air even in moderate winds and responds to controls perfectly.I was amazed by the range as my son confidently flew it out to around 500m away at a height of 80m while I was his spotter. No break up of signal at that distance on a cloudy day. Return to home was accurate to around 2 feet which is more than acceptable.Photo quality is really good too. We haven’t tried video but the lack of gimbal means it’ll be wobbly but that’s to be expected. The photos above were taken by my son on his first flight.I highly recommend this drone to anyone looking for a quality GPS drone packed with features on a limited budget. A great introduction to the hobby for any age.

The great thing about the Holy Stone 360S is that it is so light and portable, and easy to use. It looks similar to most sub 250gram drones but at a fraction of the price.|It has good flight performance and an easy to use camera with point and shoot photos (JPEG format at 3840x2160px, which equates to an 8.3MP image) and 4k video. It really is one of the best drones and ideal for a beginner like me. Ready to use at daughters wedding next weekend.It has 3 speeds - sport - normal - camera mode (slow and smooth)The controls are not too sensitive which allows for more smooth complex manoeuvres while I'm learning how to fly. It has a return home feature which calms the nerves a wee bit when the battery is low. GPS works well, thankfully.The HS360S also offers useful features, which I've still to try like 'Follow Me' tracking my phone signal, 'Image Follow', where you can select the subject in the Fly app on your phone, as well as 'Spiral Up', and much more.Looking forwared to trying all these feature out in the coming week(s) :-)

The media could not be loaded. Amazing, sturdy and powerful drone.Says 4K image, but the quality isn’t amazing I’d say, even in sunny non windy conditions.Though, it is a pleasure to fly, so easy and holds its weight position well.The app works great too. Overall super happy for a beginner drone.
