About Holy Stone HS420 Mini Drone with HD FPV Camera for Kids Adults Beginners
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
85% liked the long-lasting battery life, but 15% experienced issues
On speed 1, the battery life is approximately 8 minutes and on speed 2 it is 5 minutes without a camera.
My drone's battery life is only around 5-7 minutes, which is not good.
The battery life is my only complaint. It comes with 2 batteries and 1 charging cable, but they only last about 5 minutes each and take an hour to charge.
The drone can survive beginner pilots, but the battery life is very short.

96% found the controller easy to use, but 4% faced difficulties
I found the drone easy to set up and use with a straightforward controller and intuitive app. The calibrating process is quick and not finicky.
The controls are easy to use, but the dial on the back of the remote doesn't seem to have a real function. It made me look at the camera and adjust it.
This drone allows me to learn to use pitch and yaw controls together inside safety, which is not possible at 300 feet.
The drone is not suitable for beginners as it flies backward when taking off and cannot be controlled correctly, which could result in it flying away or landing on a roof.
93% praised the flight stability, while 7% experienced turbulence
I found that the HS420 drone maintains altitude perfectly and the trim button allows easy correction for minimal drift.
When I take off the drone, it flies backward and I cannot control it properly.
89% liked the quiet operation, but 11% found it noisy
I kept the drone on low speed in my apartment due to its size. I also tested it on high speed in a straight line and it performed well.
Indoors, the drone performs best due to its light weight. However, even the slightest breeze impacted my ability to control it when I tried to use it outside.
93% liked the portable design
Flying around the house is fun when it's bad weather outside.
Indoors, the drone performs best due to its light weight.
76% appreciated the strong and reliable connectivity, but 24% didn't
The app's incompatibility with Android phones is the deal killer for the drone.
