  • Great mid-level drone at affordable price
The media could not be loaded. The Holy Stone HS700 features mid-range, semi-pro features at the price point of a high-end toy drone. It has many features that Drones costing hundreds or even a thousand dollars more feature, but is also lacking some key features that make those high end drones very attractive. After 4 days with the Holy Stone HS700, I think I’ve finally figured out a few of the things that are not very well described in the spare documentation included, but some mysteries still persist. I’ve had a Hubsan X4 drone, a quality starter drone with replaceable parts and great durability for several years now. It is an acrobatic drone with trick maneuvers and a very poor “webcam” quality camera. It has no stabilization, drift must be manually trimmed, and flight time is short, usually around 5 minutes per battery. Since a trip to San Diego where I saw a drone flying out over the bay, gaining altitude and descending, traveling smoothly from point to point, and then returning to its home position - I’ve wanted to upgrade. But the idea of spending $700-$1500 on something that might just end up crashing into a lake, ocean or forest never to be seen again has held me back. When I saw the Holy Stone HS700 on Amazon for well under $400, I was tempted but hesitant. I hemmed and hawed, going back and forth between Amazon’s HS700 page and the drone page from the local big-box retailer known for its blue-shirts. At one point, I had made up my mind to pull the trigger on one of the much more expensive drones designed for “pro-amateur” users, but then I had a moment of clarity. I read the overwhelmingly positive reviews for the HS700, thought about what I’d do with the $450 I would save by not buying from the Blue-Shirts, and checked out on Amazon instead. My hesitation was based on several factors. While the reviews were positive, I felt like they were mostly by casual users who didn’t really have the option of purchasing a more expensive drone. The video quality posted with reviews was low quality and it wasn’t clear if that was an issue with the drone or with compression when uploaded to Amazon. To cut to the chase there, the videos actually look great, but Amazon is compressing them. One thing I found attractive was the option to mount a GoPro but the included camera does a great job with trivial amounts of video artifacts or lens distortion. With the integration of the camera via WiFi to your phone using the Holy Stone “Ophelia” app, I think the features of the included camera probably make it a better option than an after-market sport cam. The fact that the mounting gimble is not auto-leveling or self-adjusting means a high-end sport-camera is probably overkill for this drone, anyhow. I’ve taken the drone out 4 days in a row now, and each day my experience has been more rewarding. The included documentation is sparse. The English in the manual is not perfect, but it is far from the worst Chinese-to-English manual I’ve ever seen. Pairing, Initialization, Gyro and Compass calibration, connection to the Ophelia app and initiating a one-touch takeoff all basically follow the order of the manual – but some steps seem to not work, or work inconsistently, and it isn’t clear to me if it matters or not, if you get the major pairing and calibration steps right. Day 1 was in a flat expense of barren desert behind an outlet mall. The sun was beating down on me, there was a mild breeze blowing the pages of the manual, security showed up and I had to talk to them. Ultimately I didn’t get much flight time before the battery ran out and I didn’t feel very confident in my ability to pilot the drone. I was very nervous about the Return to Home feature. This was because I didn’t get the gyro and/or compass calibration done right, so the drone was drifting severely in the breeze. If I had let the drone climb to the 100 feet it requires to perform a Return To Home maneuver – I think it would have sailed off into the desert. Day 2, I took the drone into a suburban greenbelt with a large open field. I figured out how to record video and take pictures using the Ophelia app, but was again unable to get the drone to calibrate completely and I was experiencing heavy drift. I spent this day mostly familiarizing myself with the app and trying to get some experiencing free-flying the drone. It is less twitchy and acrobatic than the Hubsan X4. The HS700 is designed to be a video-drone, not a racing or trick drone. The controls are more precise for rotating and the drone maintains altitude without a lot of attitude correction, unlike the Hubsan. While this might make it easier for 1st time fliers, I found I had to unlearn habits I picked up on my previous drone. In particular, the HS700 is designed to hover. On the Hubsan, I must keep the props at speed to maintain altitude. If I release the throttle, the drone will drop like a rock. The HS700 is designed to maintain altitude. You have to throttle down to descend, and the drone resists it. With my previous experience, this hesitation to descend rapidly feels uncomfortable. But for a first-time drone flyer, it means it is far more difficult to crash your quadcopter into the ground. At the end of this session, I finally completed a full calibration. Until that point I had been getting an error message, “Drone not in hover mode or not enough GPS satellites,” Whenever I tried to go into “Follow-Me Mode,” in Ophelia. Once calibrated, the One-Touch takeoff went into a very stable hover and I was able to enter the “Follow Me” mode. The drone battery ran out almost immediately though, and I had to land and call it a day before testing. One of the problems is that the manual doesn’t align well with the actual experience of calibrating and pairing the drone. The steps in order are to hold the lock button and turn on the transmitter, then install the battery in the drone while it is on a level surface facing forward. There are a series of beeps when this is done, but the manual does not describe what they mean. The manual describes LED patterns, but those don’t always match what happens on the drone. After a few seconds and some beeps, the lights will turn yellow and flash alternately from front to back. The documentation then says, in step 9.6, to calibrate the gyro by holding both sticks down to the bottom left. I am not sure this consistently works or is necessary. There is no real audible or visual key to tell if this is taking place. The manual claims the LEDS will flash green, then turn yellow and flash alternately from front to back. The next step, 9.7, is the compass calibration. This is important – and I have had inconsistent results. Step 1 is to hold the drone horizontally and rotate it about 3 times until the LEDs turn blinking green. This consistently works for me. Step 2 is to hold the drone vertically and rotate it around its axis 3 times until the front LEDs turn red and the rear turn yellow. Step 1 is always successful, and step 2 frequently turns the front LEDs red, but the back ones remain green. Occasionally I’ve gotten the back LEDs to turn yellow as described – but it doesn’t seem to matter. I thought this might be what was causing my problems with stability and drifting while hovering – but now I think the most important factor is that the calibration in the first two steps happen on a very level surface. With the back LEDs green instead of yellow as described in the manual, I have twice been able to pair and calibrate and successfully have the drone hover and enter “follow-me” mode. Follow me mode is really what this drone is about. In Follow Me Mode you get a more level and even flight than a human pilot would be able to replicate. In the attached video I’ve included 4 different video captures. The first section is the drone in Follow Me mode. The second is an example of hovering at about 45 feet and rotating to capture a panorama of the horizon. Third is an example of flying manually in “headless” mode and crashing hard into a tree and then a rocky garden bed. This impact did not damage the drone and caused on some minor deformation on the edge of one of the props. It was not significant enough to cause drift or vibration during subsequent flights. The final portion of the video is manually flying with “headless” mode turned off. A note about “headless” mode. It isn’t very well explained in the manual. As far as I can tell, “headless” mode makes the remote a “relative” control scheme, while turning headless mode off makes the stick directions absolute. To try and explain – if you push the direction stick forward and fly 30 feet out and rotate the drone 90 degrees to the right, to then fly forward you will actually press the direction joystick to the RIGHT. Turn the drone another 90 degrees to the right, and now to move forward you would press the direction stick BACK. The direction you press the joystick matches the direction the drone’s head is oriented towards. It is possible I have this backwards. Disabling headless mode makes the direction stick absolute. No matter what orientation the drone is facing, pushing forward on the control stick moves the drone forward in the direction the head is facing, pulling back makes it go backwards, left to go left, and right to go right. I find the second method far easier to fly in, and it is the mode my Hubsan supports. I was in the first (relative) mode when I crashed into the tree. I have yet to test “Custom Flight Path,” mode - but this is another photographic mode where you can enter a map in the Ophelia app and draw out a flight path you want the drone to complete. If this works as reliably as the follow-me mode, it is a high-end feature that adds value to the drone. I saw other Amazon drones about $80-$100 more with two-axis gimbles. These drones had fewer reviews and more reports of lost drones failing to return to home, and none had video samples or allowed the use of GoPro and other sport cameras as replacement for the included camera. Holy Stone could make the HS700 a killer package by keeping the price within $50 and adding an automatic 1 or 2 axis gimble to the camera. It is the one major shortcoming I see for this drone. Otherwise, as my confidence grows with operating this drone, it seems to be a very good balance of features and cost for the amateur drone enthusiast who wants some high-end features without breaking the bank. ... show more

  • MISSLE PROBLEM FIX HERE- STARTING PROCEDURE IS VERY EXACT !!! Older APP required
Most of the negative reviews I’m pretty certain were by folks that were too impatient to read the manual and expect a one button takeoff less the pair and calibrate process. The reports in other reviews of the drone acting like a missle is due to the .79 version of the app. Changing to V .73 will remedy this. This drone has not let us down. We’ve flown in high winds, cold days (15-40 degree days) & warm days. Battery life didn’t vary much. The lights are bright and easy to see from a far distance. Headless mode works good too. The toggle button can be temperamental. Make sure headless mode is on and drone is pointing directly away from you before taking off. CURRENT APP BUGGY, downgrade app version: The current version of "Ophelia Go" which is used by the drone on your cell phone is a buggy version of the app. The buggy version of Ophelia Go is V1.01.79 The Good version of Ophelia Go is V1.01.73 To get this version, (Don't worry if you've already downloaded V.79), In Play Store do a search for APKPure. Install it. It allows you to install .APK files. To get V.73 on your phone which is a .apk file, in chrome browser go to https://m.apkpure.com/ophelia-go/com.opheliago/versions It will display in boxes the different versions. Click the .73 version of Ophelia go. Download it, Install it, Open it. Inside Ophelia Go, click Help, look at the version, should say .73 to confirm. Playstore will still show .79 you can ignore playstore. I have tested .73 with my son's drone (HS700D 4K) and I found no bugs. If you use a Google Pixel phone, you need to turn on Airplane mode first, then pick the wifi ssid that the drone produces. Should be Holystone******* RANGE: The range is really good, i've never lost video feed or controller control. It uses 2.4ghz freq to control the drone and 5 Ghz freq to transfer video to your phone. The limit on the sd card in the drone is 32gb. BATTERY LIFE: The battery life is much better than I expected. The manufacturer indicated 20 minutes of flight time. Its more like 30 minutes if your not using your camera. We have 2 batteries and we get about an hour of flight time. We were surprised. START PROCEDURE: To start the drone, there is a very exact procedure, the instructions in the book missed a few things. Every time you shut off the drone you must go through the calibration process or the drone will not start to afix to the satellites for gps. It requires a minimum of 7 satellites and usually I get at least 17 satelites each time. Here's the startup procedure. 1. Power on the drone itself, long hold the power button on top of drone for 3 seconds. It will start flashing lights, 2. Pair your controller to drone - On your controller, press the red lock button and hold, at same time switch on the controller. 3. Watch the lights on the drone as they tell you exactly what's happening. When the yellow front and rear lights blink separately its finished doing the initialization. and you've done the controller pairing. 4. Pick up the drone, facing the drone front forward, spin it while in a horizontal position 3 times in a circle. Watch the lights they will change to green. Then stop and face the drone up vertically, spin it 3 times. The lights will change to Green and Red. That means you've calibrated and your drone will now start to lock on Satellites via gps. Watch your controller screen to verify if the satellites are locked. Minimum of 7 satellites required. There is a picture of a satellite with a number next to it on your controller. 5. To begin flying after 7 or more satellites are found, click the red lock button and release. The motors on the drone will unlock and begin spinning. Then click the One click take off button. Drone will take off straight up to about 5 feet and stop and wait for a command from your controller. TAP2FLY: (In App) If you use the app on your phone. You can connect it while flying or on the ground. I have tested the Tap2fly feature, it works great. Very accurate. Fly the drone up to the altitude (height) you want it to stay at, then tap your waypoints in the app, click submit, and swipe the yellow bar that appears on the screen. Once you swipe it the yellow bar the controller will be shut out from sending commands except for the Return-to-Home button. The app shows the current position of the drone on the map moving from waypoint to waypoint even if you lose camera feed from the drone. If you lose video feed you've most likely lost controller control. But the GPS sent to the drone will finish its sequence of waypoints. Just to be safe, place the last waypoint near your position on the map to regain controller use. CAMERA: The camera does tilt up and down in flight using controller. The button is on the upper right side of the controller. Each time you land your drone, the drone will stop the motors and lock itself. You must hit the red unlock button on the controller for the drone to unlock and begin flying again. I give this drone 5 stars as it has everything I need. Very impressed for this price point. ADDITIONAL FEATURES WANTED: If I were to want anything more I would want drone collision detection and the ability to change the elevation of my waypoints using Tap2Fly, but I know that's a pretty expensive thing to add and probably wouldn't find it in a drone that costs $500 or more. This drone is worth the $150 I spent. I've had more fun with it then my kid. WAYPOINTS (TAP2FLY): I've used the waypoints to the point past the range of my cell phone being able to view video. You can set the waypoints, the drone will go to them no matter what. Pretty impressed. I used the tap to fly feature to go 3 streets over in my neighborhood and their spread out a distance of a mile. EXTENDING THE RANGE: So I'm still testing to see if I can extend the range of the drone with Various receivers. The range of the drone per the app is 999 meters/3277 feet in distance and height 120meters/393 feet. I've tried the following... TESTED: TS720 Tuoishi repeater (Only works on 2.4 ghz, will not connect to HolyStone HS700D as the HS700D only uses 5.0 Ghz wifi. The specs page for Holy stone says the controller uses 2.4 ghz, that may be the case, but the drone doesnt broadcast out 2.4 ghz to any wifi technology to repeat it. The app on your phone connects to the drone via 5.0 ghz freq only. Verified that by clicking the wifi on my phone while connected to the drone. Shows only 5.0 ghz freq. WANTED TO TEST: Xiamo repeater 2, but China no longer sells it. It had a repeater and amplifier for distance. TESTING: TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR902AC) Its small, compact, and plugs into a powerbank via usb. Will let you know how it goes by March 19, 2021. It has dual band 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz and repeating functionality to extend the range. I am unsure if the app will prevent me using a boundary from extending the range. I know the app has Beginner mode, which you can turn off, but it still appears to set a boundary. ... show more
