I have had many different drones from Holy Stone and other brands. I wanted to write a quick review of my latest drone I purchased, the HS100 from Holystone...I have a couple young boys and we have had mostly small drones that we fly around inside so we were excited to get this, a step beyond the "toy" drone into more of a serious machine....this definitely needs adult supervision but it still flies basically the same as other Holy Stone drones, pretty straightforward and my kids do well....here is a quick list of what I like about this one *good packaging, includes extra parts such as gear, props, screws, grease, etc since although they are tough and well built things do break over time *the remote has an internal rechargeable battery which uses a special cord to connect to a standard phone cube or USB port *comes with 2 big batterys that last well over 10 minutes, they use the same cord to charge *big, solid drone that is well built *uses a light system to guide you thru the calibration and setup *has a dedicated app that works well *built in GPS that allows "return to home", "follow me" and other such features...also with the GPS connected you don't have to adjust the trim meaning that it will stay in the position you leave it and not drift around *works good in light winds *built in 1080 camera that takes video and pics on its own little card which you can put in a USB stick reader and then transfer to a computer, or it will just save the pics/videos on your phone if you have the app running.... *you can fairly easily select what mode you want....you can just fly it around inside with the GPS off and no phone attached or you can fly it around with the GPS on/off and with or without the phone app, depending on what you want to achieve and feel like doing.... not many complaints, one that comes to mind is that it would be nice to have another one of the charging cords instead of just one but not a big deal... overall this is a great drone for someone wanting to go beyond the toy drone level, this is a capable machine that can fly outside and take advantage of GPS technology....also you can get some real pics and videos of good quality and easily store them...I haven't had it for too long but based on other Holy Stone drones I have had I expect it to last and be trouble free!Read full review

To start with manufacturer was fantastic, what a great deal. Purchased a cheap drone years ago lasted one flight took off and never saw again. The HS100 with gps, auto takeoff and landing was such a pleasant to fly , whenever I got in trouble it just hovered. Than pressed auto landing and here it would come back right where it took off from how nice that is . To fly is so easy it has three different levels to use beginning, intermediate,and expert. Battery life is around 10 minutes with video rolling , and it takes great video and still pictures. I would recommend this drone to anyone.

I received the drone as a gift and have enjoyed flying it with the kids. It has all the features to make flying this drone a lot of fun. Good camera both still and video, GPS, return home, three speeds, and follow me (that feature I rarely use but still nice to have). The 15+ minute flying time is excellent. The transmitter/controller is user friendly and provides flight info that is critical such as battery power. In the beginner setting (that can be changed ) allows a beginner to fly this drone with confidence. The rechargeable transmitter is a plus by eliminating the need to change batteries. The HS 100 is an exceptional drone at a good price.

I bought the Holy Stone HS 100 for my son and grandson. This is a serious drone with advanced features and is recommended for ages 16+. However with ADULT SUPERVISION this drone is a wonderful learning tool for younger children. It clearly demonstrates many aspects of piloting including thrust, propulsion, altitude, directional command, GPS and aerial photography. The photos are excellent such as the one of a newly installed beaver dam that is attached! The controller is very user friendly and the rechargeable batteries are a plus and recharges relatively quickly. The drone’s flight time has averaged a little more than 15 minutes based on wind strength, camera use and motor speed. The advanced features such as headless flight, extended range are incentives to learn step by step the nuances of drone flying. I wanted my son and grandson to have a drone that would be more than a toy and this drone has it all.Read full review

I am very happy with my purchase. The drone came as described and has exceeded my expectations. The camera quality and color are superior to other drones I have had that are advertised as 1080P. It responds well in windy conditions. I love the return to home feature. The android app is laid out well and functions better then others that I have used. All in all I would recommend this drone to anyone looking for the features that this one offers without paying hundreds more.
