About this deal

The controller will connect up to 1km away using its built-in antennae, but much like the claimed video range, it’s much less. The camera is a little disappointing as it doesn't perform as a 4k, but, I am speaking to Holystone about it. Portable design along with 2 batteries and a carrying case make the HS720E a great package for all levels of drone pilots. Connecting the drone to your mobile or tablet allows streaming of video and extra functionality like planning the flight path and tap-fly. All of this soon becomes second nature, though, and flying the drone in standard Mode 2 works well enough.

It is not immediately obvious, but tapping on the map brings up and a tap-to-fly – otherwise known as waypoint – mode. For a starter drone I can highly recommend, I am looking forward to more happy flights with my Holystone HS720E. After we’d worked our way though calibration (we thought) and got flying we had a surprise – the default ‘Slow mode’ didn’t seem to give us enough influence to control the drone. Extremely User Friendly: With the optimization and upgrade of the calibration, there is no need for the complicated preparation work before each flight.The weight of the HS720E will be a problem for some who don’t wish to register, or want to operate near people, but it does seem to give it a sure-footedness one it climbs above the trees which not all budget drones offer. Indeed it can much more effective than AI-intensive visual solutions, though it does need the subject to grasp the controller! There is also a follow me option which tracks your phone GPS so can follow you behind obstacles like trees comfortably. High quality gear shafts and body provide endless hours of fun, even after thousands of times folding and unfolding the drone's arms.

Capture Life's Bright Moments Featuring an Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) system and the 4K UHD camera, the HS720E can shoot clear and vivid photos and videos.The HS720E is an excellent budget drone, and comes with a generous selection of extras (the additional battery and case) as well as producing surprisingly good video. Some of the accessories, including spare propellors and a good length manual, are in a further zipped section at the back, while a smaller box holds a compact charging hub which can be left to charge the two batteries without interference. We’d have preferred it if adjusting the orbit distance wasn’t in the settings menu but the orbit mode itself, but ultimately this is just a couple more screen taps. I’ll share with you my opinions, compare to similar models and weigh up the pros and cons so you can decide if this drone is the one for you.

The Holy Stone HS720 drone has a very solid build but that does push the weight up to nearly half a kilogram, without the battery inserted.That all said, it’ll still be more than sufficient for those just getting into drones, with easy flight controls and video quality that doesn’t look too bad even when showcased on a 4K TV – it’s just not quite as clear and smooth as it could be.
