FYI, if your drone lights turn red instead of yellow, that means it is in return home mode. So all you have to do is press the button that has an arrow pointing to an H
Straight to the point unlike these videos, thanks
Fwckin lifesaver over here, been trying to find out how to get it going for the better part of an hour now.
Sound thanks for that now carnt seem to get camera feed
Thanks fortnite default skin
Very good video. Thank you for explaining everything. It's dark now so I think I'll fry mine for the first time in the barn. Lots of room! No animal's to fly in to ✌🏼️
ImI am seriously considering buying this type . Thank you for the instructions. I think it’s the best that I have seen of anybody showing how to connect a drone.
Much appreciated Terry
Thank you for the help on this I’m new to drone flying and setting up took me 2 days to figure this out
Absolutely BEST Video! Helped so so mich 😊
Just got this a week ago. Thank you.
Your welcome
Best video set up for holy stony
Thank you so much for this. Instruction booklet is hopeless. Changed to UK 5Ghz with your help and now everything works including the camera (which didn't before )
You are welcome Iain. Enjoy
Outstanding Video! Thanks!
Your explanation is really helpful and detailed, thanks so much.
A great help,thank you for great instrustions on setting up.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Many thanks
Great video... I am brand new to drones and your videos help me learn a lot.
Thankyou Arslan
Yeah but the book gives u instructions 😂
So useful, thank you
Your welcome Paul
Thank you for the help! Got it today and was having issues getting it to calibrate.
Your welcome Adam
Wich is the best holy stone HS drone the 720 the 720 E or the 720 G also way the wifi say that is no wifi connection but i can still fly it i have the 720 i can connect a better antenna to my transmitter thank you
Mine connect to wifi, but after 5 seconds , it disconnected, gps not work, i cant calibrate, it fly and take pictures and video, but i almost lose it because status bar never go to gps HELP
Make sure your phones in airplane mode
Hi hope you can help. When i try to pair the controller it doesnt work green light dors slow on off and the lights on drone are solid red
I see that my App Version number is greater than yours (1.3.9), however, my Firmware version is lower (1.0.56). I cannot find any reference on how to update the frimware. Any insight on that?
Great video.First time user, does the drone have to be calibrated before ea h flight. Thanks
for hour help. Steve.
Thankyou, yes I would calibrate it.
Ive been disapointed with this drone when i installed the app on my redmi but could not pick up the wifi from the drone (obviously not a 5G phone. So I bought a tablet android with 5g wifi and now i cannot install the app i contacted holy stone europe as yet had no reply. this is becoming an expensive drone. my other tablets which seem not to be 5 g do not seem to install the app either. They are all android and miniumum version 10
I appreciate your video in that of all the media I have watched/read about the 175D (including the instruction manual) this is the first I'm hearing that a 5G phone is necessary. Looks like I'm stuck with a drone that I can't fully take advantage of.
Thankyou, but as I have tried to explain many times you don't need a 5G phone, you just need a phone that is 5 GHz WiFi compatible, and most newish phones should be. You definitely don't need a 5G internet phone but a 5 GHz WiFi. They are different things completely.
@@2CatMedia thank you for taking the time to break that down for me however, my phone's Wi-Fi frequency says 2.4. Calling HS cust svc is on my round to it list because I remember on the box it says something about 2.4 and the app has a drop-down menu with 2.4 on it
Thankyou, double check in your phone , but the 2.4 GHz allows the drone to connect to the transmitter so you can fly line if sight. The 5 GHz allows you to connect the app to the drone and drones camera so you can see on the screen what the camera sees
@@2CatMedia That much I know (but not much more.) 2.4 GHz will allow me to fly it around but without 5GHz Wi-Fi I'm unable to connect to the app and the drone's capabilities are moderately attenuated. BTW cheers for explaining that it's 5 gigahertz being referenced and not 5G
A lot of people get confused thinking they have to buy a new 5G phone rather than get a 5 GHz one
Hey 2cat. Have a problem. Lost my 720e. I have 4 batteries for this drone. All were full charged. The first 3 batteries when I installed went dead right after calibration. The forth one finally stay charged after calilibration. Did a propeller test n the drone took off on its own. Tried to fine the line of site but had no idea which way it went. Was trying to do the return to home and nothing. Looked and looked. There was a forest to my left. Tried the gps app but there was no video feed after 2 hours the controller batteries went dead. Something strange is happening here. 17 satellites I was out in the country so no geofencing.
Do you any suggestions??
Would holy stone possibly come good for another one or suggest some help?
The gps map really doesn’t show much for a location.
HELP
holy shit, youtube shoudl ban all u.s. videos and have uk videos... best video by far,,i just tested my drone an d1 engine not working..found this out in following your video,,toook 2 hours of u.s. bullshit an dfound nothing of use.
Do all drones have this wi -f i shit going on with phone?? i must have had to connect about 30 times now even though got auto connect on.
Mine has WiFi then when it says calibrate it say make sure it connected
Steven, I have a question. I have a DJI mini 2. I was wondering if someone out there that makes a snap on wide angle lens. I see you can get one for the mavic 3.
I am not sure on that one Dennis, but I'm sure someone out there may be able to help you
Hi Sir, Thanks for your video. I bought this drone a few days ago, and I followed your instructions and everything ok, the problem is that when I go outdoors the drone stays in "optical mode" always, I have changed the place three times and the results are the same, I can't get the "gps mode".
If it is in the 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz it is the same. (The camera image is working ok)
Do you have any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance
I have not tested it as of yet, so I don't know if it does say gps mode, I was only summising. But the optical mode it is supposed to be both indoors and outdoors up to 20 metres in hight. So I would suggest taking it up to say 30+ metres if it safe to do so and see if it changes. It may be that it does not tell you at all, but I would hope it would tell you how many satélites it's connected too. You can also try flying it say 20+ metres away and at a safe height, the press the return to home button. If the GPS is working it should rise up to the selected height then return home close to you.
@@2CatMedia Good idea!, I will try and I tell you. Thanks
Great Video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this! However… My drone will NOT calibrate or connect to any Wi-Fi 😩😩😩😩😩😩
my pleasure, Make sure your phone with the app on is 5 GHz WiFi compatible
I have a holy stone that I bought and it doesn't work, an engine tries to start it and it turns off.
Hi good video but can you explain about the wifi please. I have a Huawei y9 19 I have 4g but what you seem to be saying is the to use the HS we will all have to get a 5g phone. My 2nd question is wifi won't work unless you have an outside connection, is that what you have or am I missing something.. Dan
Hi Dan,
No you don't need a 5G phone. A 5G phone refers to the newer high speed mobile internet connection it is capable of from your mobile phone provider. Most phones have 4G mobile internet connection and the new phones may have the faster 5G mobile internet connection. This uses internet data as part of your mobile phone package. So if you say had a 10gb mobile internet data allowance every month, everytime you used it, it would come off that.
What I'm talking about is a 5ghz WiFi network connection not a 5G phone. They are different things. Every phone will have a WiFi connection, to connect to an external network to get internet such as a home network or a public hot spot. You would use the WiFi connection to maybe get a network/internet connection when you can't get a mobile connection. So if you are in a coffee shop and you have either a 4G or the new 5G phones and the signal is not great you may be able to join a WiFi network so you can connect to a more stable hard wired networks. So each phone regardless of if it is a 4G or 5G mobile internet phone will connect to either a home or public network if you allow it too so it can use internet from that WiFi connection rather than rely on the mobile internet as part of your phone contract. The WiFi connection is what we are talking about here, not the mobile internet connection. Even if you had no mobile data allowance left as part of your phone contact, you can always connect via a WiFi connection at home or in public where available. A WiFi connection is recognised as a GHz connection. Just like when a home network router sends out your home internet via WiFi to certain devices in a certain GHz range.that could be a 2.4ghz signal or 5 GHz signal. Both send out data in a similar way but 2.4ghz is longer ranged but 5 GHz can go through walls better but is shorter ranged. So with a drone it will in essence be its own router. It will send out a certain GHz signal to the transmitter so it can be controlled, that will typically be 2.4ghz. if it has a camera it will also send out a 5ghz signal which will link from the camera to your mobile device so you can see what the drone sees.
All phones should have a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection but some of the cheaper or older phones may not also have the 5 GHz WiFi connection. So in that case your drone would not be able to send the video signal to your mobile phone, because your mobile phone would need to connect to the drones WiFi signal much like you may connect to a router at home or in public, only at home or in public you would be connecting to WiFi in order to get internet access. But, in this case you are connecting to the drones network in order to use that signal to see the video live feed it is sending.
So you just need a 2.4 GHz and 5ghz network connection (WiFi) on your phone regardless of if your phone is a 4G or a 5G mobile internet phone.
@@2CatMedia WoW !!! My head is gradually coming round.. firstly let me thank you for such a detailed to the point reply. I feel privileged.. secondly I think you can see I'm a total beginner at the drone game and for one reason or another I've homed in on the HS 175.. I don't want to fork out thousands just a few hundred on a good drone that will take pretty good photos and video. It's a kind of a surveillance thing as well as pleasure. I am from Ireland but now live in the Philippines with my Filipina wife. I'm a bit long in the tooth for this game, 68, but it sounds great fun. I've also had a few plants go missing when there's no one in the house. A drone sounds like a good way to check. If you don't mind I will probably need your help after getting the drone or if you feel there is a better drone for me out there then please get in touch.. all the best.. Dan
can you use iphone for this ?
I have never had a drone and thinking of getting one. Would you recommend this one for someone who's never flown one before. I found one for 170 on Amazon.
Hi Loki, you could but you may want to purchase a cheaper smaller drone like the ones I've tested on the channel. Such as the hs330 etc. The small and can be flown indoors and so you can get used to the controls. They range from £30 - £55 give or take. And you can get an idea if you like flying. Try are fun. You can then upgrade to a decent camera drone after
Did you decide not to do a flight review? I keep waiting.
Sorry young bloods, I have had to take a break for a while.
My HS175D just got lost on my big property. Looking at the camera it's in a stand of trees near the center of the property.
But trying to track it with the gps tracker on my cell phone it keeps leading me to the wrong area.
I'm trying to find detailed instructions on finding it.
You was supposed to calibrated the compassion also
App keeps saying that there is no device connected... Wifi is definitely connected, but it wont calibrate...
ok but how to setup VR mode???
Could you shed some light on the controller problems ?
No forward control can only fly backwards.
Also the lack of support from holy stone.
When I capable it it turns red and does not want to move
Hi Sir: Love The Teaching Video's on the HS Quads I see this one is the 175D However I purchased the HS720E for My Wife and one for Me and after watching your vids we got them in the air with no problems my wife captured some really nice Pic's and Video of Florida's sunset any how if you wouldn't mind me asking a few questions about the Batteries, 1. how do you check the voltage to see if it's balanced ? and 2. when you land your drone when it beeps meaning that the voltage is Low is it considered storage mode? I think these questions might pertain to these Quads with these type of Battries If not then I'm sorry to Bug You and keep up the good info THANKS Butch
Hi butch,
Thankyou for sharing, I get your point about the batteries, but unless you use a multi meter then you not going to know the quality of the voltage or level. I would probably consumer a lie battery as storage. But if you plan on using it say once a week I would just keep it charged. I've never had an issue really in regards to that.
@@2CatMedia OKthanks
WiFi doesn’t show up 😢
Hit a unknown geofence n lost my drone. Holy Stone is going to replace it thru Amazon. Holy Stone has no tracking software.
Very good thought process in the design BUT! Mfg and test is crap!
Umm ok ..
Thanks for making it worse
My camera wont stay live It has like 3 seconds of feed then last image freezes my screen .help
