- The Holy Stone HS710 (240 gram) drone is shockingly good. It literally does everything as advertised and best of all it has excellent FPV range. Its only downfall is the lack of any video stabilization but that was to be expected. If you're interested in this awesome little drone you can pick one up from Amazon Prime for $204.99 after clipping the $20 off coupon and then applying the code RRRHS710R at checkout. amzn.to/3p0Jku8

Another very thorough review Ryan. Nice work!
Thank you! This one is really good actually.
Got one of these for the holidays about two years ago. Flew it around this weekend on a visit back home. Flys pretty well and I was able to take some pretty crisp videos at the beach during sunset. All my other videos were blurry but the beach at sunset came out quite good surprisingly. I’m on my way back home watching videos at the airport and have the drone with me to mess around some more in Florida as I’ve taken up fishing as a new hobby. Thanks for the video I’m surprised how far it can go as I wasn’t as daring to try and lose mine 😂
This is a sweet one Ryan! Really good video feed bud! Especially at over 1000 ft! Functions seem to work well! Another good one ! Best of all a great flyer with great flight time! Good to see you having fun with this Ryan! Great review! Have a great 🦃Thanksgiving Brother!✌🏻💯🤩🍻
Thank you Robby and happy Thanksgiving to you!!
I thought drones were only allowed to fly up to 400 ft?
Great video and informative....cheers ..
Thanks so much!!
The quality of the video is pretty good and it seems to fly okay but I just wish for at this price, it should have a 3 axis gimbal. Nice job Ryan and Happy Thanksgiving.
Yep, me too Greg. However it flies great and takes good photos. The FPV range is also excellent. Best I've seen on any Wi-Fi quad. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!#
very good and detailed video
Wow! Thanks so much for your kind words!
Great review Ryan, you really covered everything. It flew well, the camera looked decent and it had a long flight time. The big con is not having any image stabilization, even some EIS would have helped. I got this in for review also, and even though it does fly well, the winter wind gusts will bounce it around. Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree Ron! It is a good drone but the lack of any image stabilization is a deal breaker in my book.
I just bought one and my first flight is going to be today.
I have never flown any drones so this will be my first venture into flying drones and I want an affordable one to learn on that won’t break the bank if it crashes.
You would be better off buying a DJI Mini SE. It is difficult to crash these GPS drones. You have to really mess up to crash. Best of luck!!
I would by the DJI Mini SE if it had Follow Me function. I need it to follow me while MTB. Any thoughts?
Love your videos. Liked and subscribed. I wonder how
well follow me works with MTB? Keeps you in the frame?
What is MTB?
Amazing! What GO Pro do you use?
I don't use a gopro. I use the DJI Osmo action.
Not to shabby, flies decent
Agreed!
Happy New Year!
Will an iPhone 12 Pro fit in the controller?
I'm not sure since I've never owned an iphone but I worry it'll be too large. Happy New Year to you too!
@@RDsRCReviews
Thank you!!
This is cutting it quite close in canada ($399) to the mini 2 from dji which goes at costco on sale for $499 which is well worth the extra $100 although dji support is terrible
Yep and the Mini SE is only $299 in the USA and it is far superior.
Just bought this drone. Ive never flown a drone before. Hope it survives lol
I would by the DJI Mini SE (that you recommend) if it had Follow Me function. I need it to follow me while MTB. Any thoughts?
What's MTB mean?
Bought one and your right. It flies amazing but the video needs work.
Precisely!! 100% agree!! Thanks so much for watching!!
How many flights since u buy n is it still working
@@simp-sons2354 wondering too
Does it have bluetooth oh yeah and can you use the app without the controller just the phone. And can you use the controller with a tablet?
You don't need to use the app, you can fly it "blind" with just the controller. No, it doesn't use Bluetooth. It uses Wi-Fi.
Pero el drone si puede guardar las fotos y videos desde el dispositivo o tienes que usar una tarjeta SD para guardarla espero que me puedas contestar en español y un saludo desde Jalisco
English please
Hey, great video. I'm having trouble finding a memory card that works with this drone. I've used all class 10, none of them work. Could you please send me the link to the one you used, thanks.
What size? If the card is too large of a capacity then it may not work. I was using a 32GB SanDisk Extreme I believe.
It was a 32 gb class 10. I finally got it to work with a SanDisk 64 gb card from my dji air 2s. Thanks for the response, much appreciated 👍🏽
To bad they didn’t just add electronic image stabilization. Looks like a nice flyer, I been wondering how it flys. I just been to weak to stand for a review flight. Great job Ryan
I can't wait to see you get back to reviewing and we all hope it is sooner rather than later. Yes, I also wish it had EIS as it would then be perfect. Get well Donnie!!
I have this model,, can the camera zoom and can it be raised and lowered via remote?
Did you watch the video? I don't know if it'll do a digital zoom but if the camera can be tilted remotely I would have demonstrated that in this video
This drone reminds me of a mini bugs 2w
I had problems with the "home" button...It didn't want to come down. Anyone else?
That's odd
I need video quality :(
I'm new to drones and my wife bought this HS710 for me for Christmas. It was pretty inexpensive (
Absolutely return this drone and get the Miini 2 instead. You won't regret it. I just recently purchased the Mini 2 with an extra battery, 32GB card and carrying case from Costco for $379!! It is for members only and the deal may still be available online. If you can get in on that deal then jump on it as that is a better deal than the refurb. I'll be making a video about my mini 2 deal later this week. The mini 2 can fly 10km and has a 3-axis gimbal. The HS710 has no gimbal. You'll regret having no video stabilization.
@@RDsRCReviews Thank you SO much for your shockingly fast reply! I believe that you've flown many, many different drones, so I am certain that you know what you're talking about. I will keep my eyes peeled for a similar deal (the Costco deal is dead, and their website states that this item is no longer available). Thank you again for your guidance!
@@arau8310 check B&H Photo
@@RDsRCReviews Thanks again for sharing your experienced opinion with me! I'm a Costco member, so I called their Customer Service number to ask them if they have this for sale (in their main online warehouse or in any of their stores) and was told "no" with respect to the online store, but that they do show very low inventory sporadically around at local Costco Warehouse locations around the country. The rep checked the locations near me, and found that two locations had a few in stock, so I called ahead to verify that they had at least one in stock, and they did- so I went to take a look. Turns out since the item is discontinued it's no longer on display, but they could still sell it, but at their regular price of $439. I purchased it at that price, and asked the folks at Customer Service to discount it to the sale price, and they did- so thanks for that, RD! For anyone who happens to read this near the last week of 2022, Sam's Club also has a similar $379 deal until Jan 1st, but the add-ons are slightly different. I am not a Sam's Club Member, so I did not investigate further.
RD- as a complete novice to drones and drone photography, I speak for the many who are looking for a good "starter" drone and hope that someone will put together a video comparing a relatively high-quality budget drone in the sub 250 gram segment (like the Holy Stone HS710) that costs around $275 (in late 2022) out the door these days with an additional battery to the DJI Mini 2- which is probably in another league with respect to performance and reliability but also costs significantly more too. Will a beginner benefit from the differences that the Mini 2 offers at a higher cost? Is it worth spending nearly twice as much (which is what you'll find on the DJI website)? I read a few places that for someone just getting started or unsure if they'll find it a useful tool- buying a cheaper drone might lead to the assumption that all drones will provide similar footage and flight performance, while a significantly better experience is possible, for another 30% or so more money. It's difficult to know if I am overbuying for my usage case (which I don't really even understand until I try using one of these things) - but I really want to avoid buying a ~$250-$300 thing that could've been a LOT better for only a little more money.
@@arau8310 wow! I'm glad you were able to get one at the discounted price and I'm so happy I jumped on this deal when I did. I have been getting mine set up and I filmed the table review already and I got the drone and controller fully charged and the firmware all up to date. Unfortunately with wind gusts forecast over 30mph the next few days I simply can't get any flight footage to include with my video plus the wind will overwhelm my mic with wind noise. I wish I could do a comparative video between the Holy Stone HS710 or the HS175D but I no longer own them. I always give away or sell the cheaper drones once I'm finished reviewing them. This is a great idea though so I think I will do a comparison video soon between the Mini 2 and a budget 250g Holy Stone or Potensic drone. If I can get the Potensic Atom then it would be ideal for this video. Trust me, you'll thank me later for spending more $$ on the Mini 2. You would have not been happy with the HS710 in the long run.
just got this drone for $173 black friday discount
Nice!!
How many flights so far since u buy is it still working to
@@simp-sons2354 did you happen to purchase this drone??
good luck getting a second battery for that ,
its impossible ,only 720 available
That's unfortunate. I mostly fly DJI for fun so thankfully that's no worry for me
My HS710 Manual says that I can only use "TF Cards" up to 32gb. So is the manual bullshitting me? Hell, I'd never even heard of a TF Card until I was just gifted this drone.
A TF card is another term for a micro SD card so you can only use a micro SD card up to 32GB.
@@RDsRCReviews Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. That TF thing really threw me off...so it's good knowing that I can use the microSD cards that I already possess.
i have one and i panicked so i broke the propellors
I'm sorry to hear that. Thankfully the props are simple enough to replace
23
Would of been sold on it if the camera was stabalized
Got it for $97
How?
No stabilization of image??? Crap
Correct, the 720G and 360 offer gimbals though
Shame on you, you should revise this video, this is a 99 ft drone , anything past that your phone gets disconnected
Shame on you for the idiotic comment. The range will vary by phone and the area you are flying in. An area with a lot of Wi-Fi interference will reduce the fpv range. Also, the quality of your phone's Wi-Fi antenna. Please learn about how all of this works before leaving such a dick comment on my video. Just because your drone has terrible range doesn't mean mine did.
@@RDsRCReviews SO now you question the quality of an iPhone 13 with latest update", How about still getting 99 ft in a 100 acre open field, even in airplane mode this drone gets 99 ft. Why dont you read the same disconnect poor disconnect range many are having, still this drone is a 50-50 crap shoot that you will get past 100 feet.Thank You
@@ComoChingan-kb7ty what did my friend at PerthwestOZRC have to say to you? How do I know what phone you're using? Sounds like you got a defective drone. Ask for a replacement. Dave got 700m range on his. How can you expect me to redo a video when I'm not having the problems you are. You are simply being unreasonable. If I buy a new car and say it is great and you buy the same car and it breaks down while leaving the dealership does that a) make my opinion wrong b) mean the car is junk because you got a lemon?
@@ComoChingan-kb7ty also I don't watch other reviews except my friend's so I'm unaware of any other issues with this drone.
@@RDsRCReviews sorry, my apologies if I went off the cuff. I only meant to say that reviewers should perhaps make a note that from looking at many customers having the same issue problems I have one must deduct that perhaps buying this drone is a crap-shoot and your odds of getting a bad one are greater than it should be. A drone ought to be honor by the multitude of satisfied customer experiences overall and not by one happy lucky person. You are doing a good job, no harm no foul.
