- This upgrade to the HS700D now includes electronic image stabilization for stable and true 4K video without need of a mechanical gimbal. Find it here and use coupon RGPL6NZW for 10 percent savings amzn.to/3gWny6m
Pros
- True 4K video camera with 30 fps frame rate. Also can record 1080p video at 60 fps.
- Dedicated onboard processor for electronic image stabilization. Works reasonably well to stabilize video without the need for a mechanical gyro stabilized gimbal.
- GPS for stable hovering and automatic return to home and landing on command, loss of signal, and low battery. Low battery brings the drone to hover over the takeoff point, but will allow further flight within 100 meters of takeoff point until battery depletion (at which point it lands wherever it's at).
- Optical flow sensor for automatic hovering indoors, or outdoors if so desired.
- Bright belly LED lights for improved visibility, especially at dusk.
- Brushless motors.
- 7.4V 2800mah provides 21 minutes of flight time.
- FPV range of up to 500 meters, and controller range of up to 1,000 meters.
- Real time FPV video is available through your phone using the "Ophelia GO" app available on Google Play here bit.ly/Ophelia-GO or for iOS here bit.ly/Ophelia_GO
- App also provides advanced capabilities of follow me, orbit position, waypoints, and headless mode. App also enables modifications of video and photo settings including resolution, brightness, saturation, special effects, ISO, and white balance.
- Drone can be flown without the app using just the controller if desired. Controller includes telemetry information screen providing drone and controller signal strength, remaining battery power, drone distance and height, GPS status, flight rate, and controller mode. Controller also provides buttons for automatic takeoff and landing, lights, camera pitch, photo and video shutter, return to home, arm and disarm motors, and GPS on or off.
Cons
- The app requires use of a phone with 802.11ac WiFi. Before purchasing, use Google to verify that your phone does indeed have 802.11ac WiFi (not everybody has such on their phone).
- The drone's low rate is very slow in both horizontal speed and yaw (turning) rate. The intent is to aid processor image stabilization.
- Electonic video stabilization works reasonably well. But there are a couple of limitations. First is that the stabilization does result in slight blurring of the video. The second is that the EIS has difficulty in keeping the video horizon level. This is especially true if there is wind that will cause the drone to maintain a tilt to counter the wind. The resulting tilt of the drone will be apparent in the video view of the horizon.
- Requires using at least a Class 10 SD card for 1080p 60 fps video, and at least a U3 SD card for 4K video. Expect severe frame dropping if you attempt to use a slower speed card.
- Weighs 559 grams with battery, and requires registration in most countries.

Love this drone! Bought mine on Amazon and it came the next day…. My first time buying a drone after doing research and my wife picked this one for me and I’m glad she did! Holystone has excellent customer service! They’ll help you by any means… I’m definitely sticking with holystone drones!
I love your reviews and your cheerful attitude, and “ how do you like my shirt today folks is priceless “ your channel is the reason I’ve been hooked on drones. Great work…😀
You were a horrible hockey player.
@@electricalron bruh
I was considering purchasing this done (I do not own one nor ever flew one) and I watched your excellent review. I did buy this and it is being delivered today. Thank you for the video.
Really enjoyed your review and complete flight demo!! I own a HS700E and happen to agree on all points that you made. This thing is built like a tank, so that feature by itself makes this a great beginner drone. I've been piloting for awhile and love the photographic properties of this drone.
Dude, excellent video! I'm trying to decide between this one and the HS720. This really explains the capabilities of the 700. Really nice work on this!
If you go with the HS720, get the E version
Great review buddy, I enjoy the detailed review and I own this exact drone...can't wait to fly again real soon!
Just recently purchase this drone, know little to nothing about drones. Thank you for this very informative video.
Thank you. i was finally able to fly this thing. no other video i watched said to hit the unlock button just before takeoff. great video.
None of the Reviews I’ve seen so far to go over the detail in Phone placement on the controller, it’s quietly one of the trickiest parts to this product and would be a godsend.
Wow, that footage is super stable. Looks like I will buy this drone!!
U should buy the mini se. By dji that's a beast just 299 dollars
Great review can’t wait to get mine from Amazon at a crazy price!
Best tutorial for my new drone TY!
Thanks, it’s a nice drome $440 CAD July 2022, Nice review. I love it.
Thank you for the video! It’s so nice!!👍
Damn I bought the drone before watching this. I realized my mistake in not researching prior to buying but luckily looks like it'll be a solid starter drone!
I'm so glad that you mentioned that it flies slow. I bought one and expected it to be sporty and a bit quick, but it's not. I'm not complaining because I bought it mainly for photography and I want slow and stable, which this 700E is, but I was surprised that it just wouldn't be fast and sporty in any setting I could find. Glad to hear it's not just the one that I have.
You can make it more sporty by a quick press of the right shoulder button on the controller. It cycles back and forth through beginner and sport mode. I really didn't have a chance to demonstrate it in the above video. But in sport mode the video is not as smooth.
I have this exact drone but found that it only connects to GPS satellites about 5% of the time. I've tried open fields just like the ones in your video. I've tried different times during the day and even when there is plenty of GPS coverage overhead. When the GPS works, it's super easy to fly..... That's when it works....
I've got the 720E love it, Their customer service is GREAT. For the money its good. I have a Fimi X8 SE 2020 yes its a higher cost drone but its got a couple of issues. I won't talk about there customer service. Don't get me wrong I like my X8 also. But Holy Stone customer service is good...
Beautiful video and explained well.. I like you....
Wow very stable unlike my drone that i just received hs 700d
great vlog some of the geeks on here go way into it as though we are all experts but some of us just want something simple and easy to operate looks like this fits the bill for me as i am a roofer in the uk and would like to use it to inspect roofs without the need for getting the ladders out
I wonder what the payload capacity is. Maybe a small amateur radio hauled to the top of a building/water tower/smoke stack and dropped off (solar powered).
Regarding any sensors on the underside of this drone, would it be suitable for delivering lighter fishing baits? I notice some units can't tolerate anything interfering with a clear line of sight to ground.
I just bought the HS720 but after watching this I’ll return it and buy this one instead. I haven’t opened it yet and the price isn’t much difference. After owning it for a few days would you still recommend this drone for someone that will use it for CZcams videos?
if you push and hold the button on the top right you can fly it faster, the same button you use to turn the lights on with.
Passando pra prestigiar aquele like e fortalecer o canal 🤜🤛😉✌👍
What does it mean when all 4 indicator lights of the battery are blinking rapidly when charging?
You also require a license to fly this drone in most countries as it's above 250g. I'm not sure what you're comparing the customer service to, but I have one of the other drones you are talking about and customer service is beyond par.
any idea how much weight it can carry stable????
The problem with all these economy beginner UAVs is that very shortly, DJI is going to release the "Mini SE", with a $249 price ($299 for the fly more version with 3 batteries). Once the "800 lb. gorillla" enters this market, most of these 'wanna-bees' will be more or less doomed ... unless they cut their prices in half (this one, at $329 would not be a good deal, given the DJI competition). Walmart has already had some 'leaks' of the DJI Mini SE ... so its release is imminent. Given the specs of the DJI Mini SE (a < 250G UAV), none of these low cost beginner UAVs will be viable options (imho). As for "Advanced Flight Control" features ... none of these cheap UAVs will be able to match existing DJI APP/Firmware technology (which runs on both Android & Apple devices). If I were in the market for a low priced UAV, I'd wait.
I live in the desert without cell or wifi. I do go into town once a week and use buddy's internet. I bought a DJI which always wanted internet login to work normally and not limp mode. Are the Holy Stones the same way? I can handle a one time setup and app download, but not every time I want to fly. Thanks and love your vid!
No internet is required, but a phone with 802.11ac WiFi capability is required. There is no internet connection with this WiFi signal. The drone's video is transmitted to your phone using this unconnected WiFi signal.
You should do a review on the Mjx bugs 16 pro drone and you should do a drone giveaway every once in a while
Thank you. Can you add the antenna boosters that are used on the controllers of DJI?
Possibly, but on the left antenna only. The right antenna is fake (decoration only). But if used, it would only increase the control range of the controller. But it would not increase the FPV video range.
BATTERY: The port looked like a USB 3.1. If so would a 5 V, 15 W, 3 A charger do the trick?
Is there a battery pack that will give about an hour of flight time?
Yes and no to your questions in their order.
nicee
Walmart and Drone Customer Service is non existent - You'll end up getting advice from someone's grandma in the center rear electronic section! Lol but if you ever do go to walmart (don't listen to the employee's).
Love the Ch
6:30 I only need 1080 , good enough for me , but does it
really record in 60fps, many make that claim but are fudging
and they do not film at 60fps. What about this one? 60fps
means you can really slow things down frame by frame and
and get super detailed slow mo action, like filming a bursting
liter of soda, video speed/quality capable of filming droplets midair.
Hello there. Just got the drone as a complete beginner and managed to snap the first set of propellers in my first flight. I`m from Europe and can`t find a replacement for them - neither on Amazon, Ebay or even Aliexpress. Is there another model that is compatible ? Thanks
They're available on Amazon here in the USA amzn.to/3GwomLI
But they're also widely available on eBay from China sellers. Just search for HS700E, then set the price limits at 0 to 20 Euro:
www.ebay.com/itm/393142909918
www.ebay.com/itm/384725728629
www.ebay.com/itm/363616239923
If you phone is not compatible, this won't follow?
i'm a home inspector and i'm considering this for roof inspections. i would need to get a very accurate view of the roof and up close pics of any defects.
How do you think this would do?
It should provide good detail, especially if you're recording in 4K. Best would be to take 4K photos, and then zoom in on defects. I use my drones to check my gutters every fall.
Hi do you ever sell any of your beginner drones
He should probably start doing a drone giveaway every once in a while
I'm confused, does the drone require 5G (802.11 ac) capability to operate or is the 5G for the video only? Will the camera record a lower resolution such as 720? If it's required to operate the drone then the HS700E wouldn't work for me.
You can fly the drone using the controller only. You can also record video and photos to its onboard memory card using the controller to activate the recording. However, without your phone, you will not be able to view the real time video from the drone while it's in the air. You will also not be able to use the advanced flight features of follow me, circle position, and waypoints without your phone. Now don't confuse 5G phone data networks with 802.11ac WiFi. They are two different things. Although your phone may not be a 5G capable phone, it may still have 802.11ac WiFi. To find out if your phone has this WiFi, simply do a google search of your phone's name, along with the terms "802.11" and "specifications". Then see if 802.11ac shows up in the search results.
@@Quadcopter101 Thank you. From what I have googled the Samsung Galaxy S9 does indeed have 802.11ac comparability. Looks like this drone may work for me.
it requires 5g to receive the fpv video feed from the camera.The controller sends a 2.4ghz control signal to the drone.that's how you get telemetry back a
So
The screwdriver is used to remove the landing gear
onde consigo um cabo flat da câmera deste modelo de drone o meu caiu e estragou o abo flat
Witch is the better drone for first time flyers the HS 720E or the HS 700E and can either one be flown out of my back yard or is a open field better Thank You
Both are too large for backyard flight. In regards to choosing, you might want to instead consider the upgraded 720G. It has both EIS and a stabilized gimbal for greatly improved and stable video. czcams.com/video/Ebye4Y4Kr5E/video.html
@@Quadcopter101, you actually state in your video that the HS700E has EIS at 0:25.
@@richardestenson7799 it does. But it doesn't also have a stabized gimbal.
do you know where you can buy propellers for this drone
eBay has them www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=hs700e+propellers
To connect the phone to your drone you need 5G ? or is this trough WiFi
It's through 802.11ac 5Ghz WiFi. See 9:57
Hello friend, the sound outdoor it' bad your voice is satured. Thanks for arrange3 that please, thanks
I was told that it flies slowly in beginner mode. If you turn beginner mode off it's faster.
This is true. But the slow flying is meant to help improve the video stabilization.
Hi! Long time haven' t see you by here. Everything ok?
Well, my father passed away recently. I've been very busy taking care of his affairs. As such, I just don't have the time to produce videos as much as I'd like.
@@Quadcopter101 I' m sorry to read that. Hope you're fine. Big hug.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Mi mas sincero pésame.
@@Quadcopter101 im sorry for your great loss mate,may he rest in peace.

Alguien me puede explicar cómo se consigue el wifi
I just bought a HS700-4k and no one seems to be able to tell me if it broadcast a remote ID even the phone number in the manual she sounded like she didn't even know what a drone was. Can anyone help me with this?
No, it does not have that capability.
@@Quadcopter101 ok thank you. So that means I can't fly it?
@@Mudring76 of course you can fly it. Remote ID doesn't start until September 2023. And even then, nobody knows yet how it's going to be implemented. I got a feeling that September 2023 date is going to be extended.
@@Quadcopter101 ok thanks this is my first drone which is probably obvious from the question. Tried googling answers got mixed answers. But I do have to register it correct? And thank you very much for taking the time to answer my noob question
Yes, this needs to be registered as it weighs over 250 grams. And make sure to do it on the following website only. Registering anywhere other than a FAA.gov website is a scam. Select "The Exception for Recreational Fliers". faadronezone.faa.gov/#/
How you find the wifi of the drone?
Turn on the drone and place it on a flat level surface. After 30 seconds, turn on your phone, and go into its WiFi settings. Look for the drone's WiFi signal in your phone's WiFi settings. Connect to this signal with your phone, the same way that you would connect to your home WiFi (no password required). Then open the drone's app. The video should now be available in the app.
I got a HS700E with a miss matched prop holder. One B arm has an A prop holder on it. Very simple 10 cent part but after 3 weeks of Holystone chat, emails and phone calls I just keep getting told to send picture I do and NEVER have once heard back. Very discouraging. My new $300 purchase is worthless without this simple part. If you have a contact that can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for the great videos.
Well if you bought it through Amazon, it is eligible for full refund within 30 days of delivery. www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GKM69DUUYKQWKWX7&ref_=dp_ret_policy
By the way, can you send me a picture link? CZcams will automatically publicly block the link, but I can still see it in my CZcams spam folder. Just let me know after you send the link.
@@Quadcopter101 No it was bought from an online authorized Holystone dealer who also can not help. I cant figure out how to insert the picture.
@@Quadcopter101 Just figured out what you meant and replied with the photo
Sorry, but I can't seem to find it in my spam folder.
Was this on the fastest setting?
No, it was not.
What type of range were you getting about? Great videos btw 🤗
Hi I'm from Malaysia,I hope I have one drone like L900
Please can you tell me how long it takes to charge the battery?
5 hours
Note the wadded up, figure 8 usb cord, it
will always look like crap. There is no
advantage to wadding them up and shipping
like that, the manufactures today think
we like the cord permanently looking horrible
and catching on things.
Cool, but a bit pricey.
Unavailable as of Nov 7
It's back in stock now.
Hi
first
Congratulations. You were first to say First. You win a shoutout in a future QC101 video. Again, congratulations!
my god how can you find so much to say about one little drone is that why they are called drone
Yo
What brand holy shit oh sorry holy stone
1 year later I still can not fly my 700E due to the mismatched prop holder. Dozens of calls and emails to Holystone and lots of excuses and promises but still can not fly due to a 5 cent part they can not or will not provide even tried to buy it with no luck. US shipping but China service is not better than China shipping if it does work. Done with Holystone.
What exactly is the problem?
@Quadcopter101 if you read the second part of my comment it states what the problem is. Hours of trying to get Holystone to send this 5 cent part and still no help.
What 5 cent part? Can you be specific? @@Rstpete1
And you mention mismatched prop holder. Just wanted to make sure that you are aware that the direction of attachment alternates with each prop holder. There are two holders designed to attach the two clockwise turning propellers, and two holders designed to attach the two counter-clockwise holding propellers. The idea of the two CW and two CCW propellers is to counter the torque from the propellers. A CW propeller will not attach to a CCW prop holder. The same for a CCW propeller and CW prop holder. You should have two spare CW propellers, and two spare CCW propellers. Try a different shaped propeller if it's not attaching to the prop holder.
@Quadcopter101 yes. Mine came with 1 B and 3 A prop holders mounted to the motors.
Well if you don't like your money then give it to holy stone. And tou too can receive a piece of trash in the mail. I flew this thing 5 times and it no longer has a functioning wifi that your phone can connect to. Reducing my purchase to garbage.
You got five flights?! I'm jealous, mine was instant garbage
I want a under 250 gram drone with EIS and Hubsan style follow-me NOOOOOWWWW!!!
made by DEERC for Holystone.
You sure it's not MJX?
DeeRC is just an importer ;)
Am I the only one who got one and it is pure hot garbage? I see all these videos of people with this drone having a great time. Mine won't hover in place it wanders at a pretty good pace. There is a 2 almost 3 second delay from control input to actually doing the command. Because of that, it flew into a wall as I was holding the opposit direction, it slowed down, just not fast enough because of the controller delay. The delay is also in the camera as well, so you can't use the camera to navigate as it's 3 second behind. One set of props already broken and the drone is scuffed to hell. FLEW IT ONCE, IT WANTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE! PURE HOT GARBAGE OF A DRONE!
You're not flying it indoors, are you? That's very dangerous with this big drone. This drone should only be flown outdoors in an open field away from trees and buildings which may interfere with its satellite signals.
Next, have you properly completed the compass calibration as shown in the video. It's very important, especially if you notice the drone wandering.
Finally, how many satellites were you receiving before you took off (that big number on the bottom of your LCD screen). It's important to be receiving at least 9 satellites before taking off. For improved stability, wait until its at least 11 (I was flying with 19 satellites in this video).
Finally, try a different phone to improve the FPV video delay. The app is very processor intensive, and older phones may have problems with it (causing hiccups and delays).
@@Quadcopter101 Tried in a parking lot and the phone I used was a Fold. The signal seemed a bit better when not using the phone on the controller. I just can't steady the hover and it loses altitude when it flies forward. I'm thinking it may be defective.
