James: Your Drone videos are superb. Your easy going, articulate and instructive videos make for a "wonderful" approach to learning about the intricacies of drone piloting. This HS-420 is so impressive that I purchased a 2nd kit from amazon. This gives me 6 batteries in total between the two systems. I prefer the discounted Amazon package with the case and spare parts. It is excellent value and a great teaching aid. I was also impressed at how quiet this little drone is. Fantastic for apartment drone practicing. Thanks and greetings from Ontario, Canada.

It works and it can take photos. It's just a bit of fun and perfect training tool for a bigger drone like a DJI. Hope this helps. May the force be with you 🙂💫

The cheapest drone with a good camera and obstacle avoidance is still $1,000, the DJi Mini Pro3, if you want the best drone for the money it’s by far the DJI MiniSE at $299, if you looking for a great drone at this price pint i like the HS430 at $45ish, flies for 11-12 minutes and has a good camera

As I say I’m almost every video, the HS210 out performs every mini drone. It flies so amazing and more like a real drone flies.

HEADLESS MODE is mainly an emergency function to prevent a crash after drone has hit something and spun around so your joy sticks no longer move it in normal directions as at take off. Instead of guessing what to do wasting time and losing control headless mode allows drone to override normal orientation and only respond to new remote orders . Once it recovers directions and stabilizes turn off Headless mode !

The hs420 is a great mini drone but paired with a sucky app that only seems to fly correctly once a day in the morning! Then the rest of the day it says "UNCONNECTED" even when the props are spinning and the bird is in the air. Also the video camera is hard to connect , not available before takeoff and laggy sometimes. This is making me want to defect to POTENSIC which on my other mini has a smart, coordinated camera and app!

I actually started with a DJI Mini 4 pro, but we've had a streak of bad weather since I bought it 13 days ago. I have flown it indoors, but it isn't worth the risk. Today my friend let me fly his HS210 in his living room and I had a blast, I ordered a HS420 right there on the spot. I can't wait for it to arrive so I can practice both indoors and outdoors in any conditions. [Edit]: I sent this drone back after 10 days as much as I did not want to. I had a motor fail and when I looked into spare parts I saw they were charging $12 per motor, and $17 per battery. Which is absolutely ridiculous. I really loved that little thing, But I'm not going to get scammed on spare parts.

No wind? Sir, even 1mph of wind and that drone is going to say..."Seeeeeyaaaaa....Jaaam....(quietness as it hops into the pond outside your house) I have a HolyTon(ayup...HolyTon is HolyStone) HT-02 with no prop guards but the crazy little thing has a camera a bunch of batteries and does tricks too. Even a puff of wind and without even Optical Flow(GPS? Lets try $200 more) to sort of save it, no matter what, this drone is going to think it's riiight about where it needs to be which could just be heading at 30mph in 30mph winds right into a wood chipper.....BZZZZTTTCRRZZZTT meeeeyoooowwwnnnnnNNNN (the sound of a wood chipper encountering something to chip before it speeds back up again)🤭 Oh, it should be said that if you bounce that off something with a bit of steam, the props might be just fine however, that style of retention for Holy Stone batteries enables the drone to CHUCK the battery somewhere away from where the drone is. I've seen up to 6 feet in a bed of flowers (which was NOT easy to see)
