Holy Stone HS280 Foldable Drone with 1080P Camera for Adults and Kids, RC Quadcopter with Gravity Mode, Tap Fly, Voice and Gesture Control, Selfie, Altitude Hold, Headless Mode, 2 Modular Batteries

Never had one before but needed to do an aerial survey of the roof of my house.Easyish to set up after reading instructions a couple of times.Took a little time for me to master the controls but once done really easy and fun!To get the trim just right took some trial and error but now hovers without drifting up/down right/left forwards/ backwards.Great responsiveness and good features for the price.

I have been wanting a drone for some timeI spotted this drone on amazon with 25% off and after a bit of research on YouTube I thought why not considering the priceIt arrived the next day well packagedIn the box you get the drone,nice controller,2 batteries, charging cable, spare rotor blades and a very comprehensive and easy to understand instruction bookHave only had a brief fly in my small garden so far but it is easy to control and can't wait for a nice day to go to fields and have a proper playVery pleased with my purchase

I’ll start with saying I didn’t expect much from this, but I did expect it to work.It was a Christmas present for my son and for a first drone, this seemed a good choice.Son opened it up Christmas Day, we charged the batteries and took it to a nearby field. One of the propellors wouldn’t start. I probably should have just packed it away and sent it back, but it was Christmas Day and I didn’t want the disappointment.We realised that if we manually spin the propellor fast, it would start and work normally and so we managed to get a quick fly before the batteries died.When we got home I figured it must have a loose wire and I removed the screws out of the arm but everything looked fine. I tinkered about but nothing I did made any difference, the motor wouldn’t start unless I manually spun it first.The product is basically ready for the bin. I’m not an expert in drone repair and I cannot see a repair costing much less than the unit itself.Based on my experience I wouldn’t recommend this product, but if you’re lucky enough to get one that works as intended you may be happier.

I recently purchased the Holystone H280 drone and I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. As a beginner user, I was a bit hesitant to try flying a drone for the first time, but this drone made it incredibly easy and enjoyable.The set-up process was quick and simple, with clear instructions that even a novice like myself could follow. The controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy to maneuver the drone in the air. I was amazed at how stable and steady the flight was, even in windy conditions.The camera quality is also impressive, capturing stunning aerial shots and videos that I never thought possible. The drone's battery life is also impressive, allowing me to enjoy longer flight times without constantly worrying about recharging. It gave me around 25 minutes with both batteries.Overall, I highly recommend the holystone drone for any beginner user looking to dive into the world of drone flying. It's user-friendly, reliable, and delivers exceptional performance at an affordable price point. I can't wait to continue exploring and capturing breathtaking moments with my new favorite gadget.

Didn't realise no GPS home return process

Very happy nephew! Quality product, easyish to fly and travels at speed!

Received the drone and go to test it and check it out but after connecting and putting the battery the controller wasn't working and the drone just flew away. I contacted HollyStone customer support by ringing them and they sent me another one. Very happy with the customer service they provide and the customer service advisor was just amazing. Also, for the price of the drone the quality of the video and image is very good. Overall the drone is well worthy the price!

Flew the drone for the first time in my garden it disconnected from my phone while only 10 foot away and started flying off disconnected from the controller and crashed off about 400-500 yards away had to hunt it down
