I must say that you have got some of the best and most informative drone reviews I've seen on yt. I've been researching drones for the past year or so and can't believe that I just recently found your channel! I think I'll be checking out some of your older videos now, and get myself updated a bit. Lol! Thanks man! Appreciate it.
Thanks so much Rix! Sorry. Only been publishing once every three weeks or so vs twice a week when I started. Hopefully get back to once a week soon!, thanks again for encouragement
I watch video for HS210, that's the way I should have started, I ordered one today. I think my next step up will be the DJI mini SE or if more batteries come available the HS-720G
Thx for doing the review. I almost bought the 720E a while back. I'm glad I waited. I just got the 720G for the same price the 720E was and is still in some places.
Nice job on the review James very in-depth and informative. I noticed the “Orange Crate” your recent car purchase also while you & your son were flying the drones, Nice car. Anyway thanks again for sharing and keeping us informed on the Holystone Drones.
The 720G is so much better, sorry so late in reply, was on break from youtube for a couple of weeks, be sure and check out the DJI MiniSE if that is on your price range.
I have watched many other reviewers of drones and learn some things from them but find consistently that your reviews are the most informative engaging and helpful. So thank you! You made two comments in part 1 of the hs720g review. First that you had a love hate relationships with hs720e. Why was that? I think I may have the same experience. Second was that you really liked the hs700e. So far I have found in my very limited experience that the hs700e is just wonderful and easy to fly. While not as portable as the 720e it certainly seems to fly better. Thanks for your excellent reviews. Where can I find the link to your mother passing?
It’s in one of my previous video’s, I intend to share more of my faith in the future…..kinda like Shawn Cannel with Think Media….The 720e just seemed to drift sometimes even though i did everything right, then it would be great for a while. Pulled both out today and did a full battery test, the 720g is rock solid and 50% longer battery, they got it right this time
So is the hs720 G going to not toilet bowl like the one I just sent back the 710 ? And what about EXO X7 Ranger Plus any good I saw they connection problems to
I just received my new Holy Stone HS720G. I haven’t been able to fly it due to bad weather but am anxious to see part 2 of your review. Thanks for all the excellent reviews and information you provide.
I finally got a break in the bad weather and got to fly my HS720G. I managed to get a couple taskeoffs and landings and flew it around for about 15 minutes. Nothing fancy as I’m new to drone flying and just wanted to familiarize myself with the controls. The drone was very steady and responsive but I didn’t do something right as my video didn’t record. This drone only comes with one battery so the first thing I did after flying it was to order a second battery. I got it on Amazon for about $60.
@@b4ugo thanks honey just starting to learn have a E-58 that I have been trying to fly. Was getting the hang of it, but a bird attacked it and it hit a tree on the way down broke the gears on a motor .
Very nice awesome she got right back up like nothing happened . Love your videos definitely helped me make the decision on the hs340 fun little drone for the house ✌️😎
Thanks for the great informative video Do you need to do a gyro calibration like on the 720E? I've been using the 720e and love it I've also flown the HS 175 also great little drones... I passed those off to my grandkids for them to enjoy as I do Thanks James
My first 720g stopped communicating with the controller after about 30 starts. My second one had a joy stick that got stuck and caused a major crash. Maybe I am just unlucky. Will get #3, though, thanks to them having GREAT customer service. Have read that DJI's customer service isn't so good. Any experience with the two customer services?
HS has the best CS, it’s in the culture of the company. DJI will assist a little with tech problems but that’s about it. HS has there place in the industry for sure
My German Shepherd decided to grab my drone in flight on one of the first times using it! 😜It’s still running strong; only a few minor scratches! I was worried that it was ruined!
Loved your Part 1. Review of. The new hs720G. When will part 2 come out? If Part 2 is as positive about the hs720G. Then I will order it now. But just wanted to hear the rest of your excellent review.
Thanks, have you seen the video of me sharing my faith after my mom past at Thanksgiving? Hopefully in a day or 2, we have has 30-40 mph winds for 2 weeks! Been crazy windy
@@b4ugo thanks. For your reply. I will be very eager to watch your video on sharing your Faith. I just saw your reply about the wind speeds. Thanks for letting me know this was the reason why you had not gotten out part 2. . Little embarrassed to tell you this but last night as I checked to see if part 2 was there the Holy Spirit led me to pray for you and your family. This came as a strong word from the Lord to pray for protection and a manifestation of God's grace and protection for you and your family. I was worried that something had happened to you or someone in your family and that is why you had not gotten out the video. So was relieved to hear that it was just the high winds! But I just trust the Lord that the prompting to pray for you in Jesus' name was for the Lord's own purposes. I just try to follow the guidance He gives and leaves the rest in His hands.
Thanks. You mentioned a love hate relationship with the 720E. Why is that? Is the new app also work with the older 720? Since locally we have a sale of the 720e.
I only had problems with the app for a while, and things that where my fault, like forgetting to follow prestart checklist after switching batteries, app works good now
New pilot, I have the 720G and love it. My issue seems to be with the app. I can't get out of beginner mode, the height and distance don't work. I have a number of functions grayed out. What am I missing? Thanks,
@@b4ugo It turns out I have to put my phone in airplane mode then connect the wifi in order for the app to work on my phone. Everything is good to go. Thanks,
Great Review, very clear and useful. I have two questions: the video storage on the cellphone loose quality or mantaine the selected one? And can you copy the video from the sd card to the cellphone? Thanks!
1st time drone buyer. Looking for drone to inspect home roofs. Do not want to break the bank, but not so cheap as to replace too quickly. Would this suffice? Suggestions? Thanks.
It takes really good photos, there are some great deals on used drones but be sure and fly it first. I’m a roofer also, don’t forget you still need your 107
How does the photo quality compare for DJI mini SE at 2.7K vs HS 720G at 4K? First time drone buyer, long time Realtor. We need quality -but want to try first before spending big $$.Thank you.
Lucille, Holy Stone is the best drone in the $30-$150 range, they are budget beginner drones. I Think DJI sells the MiniSE a $100 to cheap. There is really no comparison, the MiniSE is a professional drone that is by far the best drone in the $299 range. It’s a true 2.7k and not enhanced. A pro with it could make a living doing RE photography and no one would ever know he wasn’t flying a $5k drone.
No, not even close, the G’s batteries are smaller but more powerful, drone years are like dog years! That’s one thing I like about flying FPV’s is the batteries all interchange
Hi James, thanks for this great tutorial video! I am a total newbie to drones and I try to check out which drone to get. This video helps a lot. Gonna watch part 2 with great excitement. Keep up the good work pal 👍👍👍
Hi James, Just purchased both holy stone hs700e and the holy stone hs720g via prime day (great deals). I've been using cars, boats and lately drones and helicopters for the past years.. This was my first chance to get some new gear, but need to make a decision on one of the 2 which one will work best for my use case and future proof / future enjoyment. Curios as to your thoughts, pro's and cons of the holy stone hs700e vs holy stone hs720g. I have see many videos but not one that really digs into the specs and tech but not a apples to unofficial review or opinion concluded based un use / overall experiences. I like day and night flying as I live ib NYC and so many amazing opportunities open during the dusk and dawn hours. Regarding batteries I see many off brand options for significantly less $$$. Have you had any success with these generic / compatible batteries. Would sincerely appreciate you input. Sincerely,, Lance
Great questions, the 700 is a much more stable flyer so I would use that one to learn on and takes great photos, but the gimbal on the 720 is great for video’s, Also, the 720 flight time is about 50% longer due to newer battery technology. Pretty much all of NYC is a no fly zone, be sure and check the app “B4U FLY”. I know of several pilots that have received big fins and the HS’s are not Geofenced. I didn’t realize there was batteries available that where not HS’s. I would stick with originals’, good luck and enjoy the addiction!
Hey i love the videos you have ive watch 87% of them and i have mixed feeling. I want a dji mini 2 but, i would like a holy stone thats almost equivalent to it. I have bought the Hs210 on your recommendation and i love. I bought the Deerc D40 on your recommendation once again. So i would like your honest feedback. Do i save up and get the dji mini 2 a holy stone Hs720g or ??? I want it to be brushless motors Gps rth and a bit of wind resistance. Help please.
The DJI mini SE is $279 (at drone nerds) but I have noticed the DJI Mini2 is cheaper since the Mini3 has come out. To be honest, DJI has 74% of the market for a reason, they have the best drones at the best price. Holy stone makes the best drones under $100, but when you get clsoe to $300 they dont have the same quality. Also, after September this year all drones over 250 grams will have to have a remote ID, and the 720 is over that. So, I would go with the SE or the Mini2.
@@b4ugo well sir i thank you so much. Im going to get mini 2. Thank you for all the awesome advice and great videos you make I really appreciate them and you
I cannot find a review of the HS600. Did you ever review that one? I thought the 600 drone is the flagship, so how is the 720G superior? I just bought the HS600, did I make a mistake?
Can you compare it to any of dgi drones? In terms of fly stability, video recording ect ?? Or dgi are on different league ? Somehow clips from dgi drones looks much better, sharper, clearer. Is it post recording editing or dgi are simply superior ?
Thanks for the great review. That's interesting that the lighter 720G flies better in high winds than the 720E. Why do you say to never fly in headless mode? (14:25)
Headless mode Takes away the orientation of the drone, so it trained your subconscious to fly that way, then when you want to start getting some video shots, and you tried to fly the right way, it’s real confusing. So it’s best to learn how to fly a drone the right way the first time. It really messes with your brain when you switch back-and-forth, and it’s dangerous
My son and I will be new to these. So far I'm considering this or the dji mini 2... Any thoughts on if the mini 2 is worth the extra couple hundred bucks?
I just bought the E not the G and after this vid I’m trying ( not shipped yet ) to get the seller to switch it but I don’t think is going to work. I still think that the E is a very good first drone for me 😵💫 .. I’ve watched many vids about the E and the only thing ( remember is my first drone ) I find annoying is the battery charging time ( there’s a solution by buying another charger/battery something ) but I like the landing light specially if you want to use it at night after I learn really well how to flight it.
Its rare you will want to fly more than two or three batteries, there are plenty out there if you want more. Most really good batteries taking a while.
I have the HS600 and I'm not sure if I'll get this 720g if you're looking for the same camera same gimbal but more range then the hs600 is better for that. I'll think about this one 🤔
I have a holy stone hs360 as my first drone. I've only been able to fly it a couple times. Seems to be a great drone but didn't seem too stable in the couple flights I had. I would love to get this new holy stone. Hopefully I will have extra money this year to buy one. I am hurting financially right now so I can't get it at the moment
Let me help you out. If you paid around 200-250 for that drone and can still return it then do it pronto. I mean real quick like and in a hurry. Buy the dji mini SE. These are toy drones. I watched these reviewers and bought a holy stone and a ruko because reviewers like this gave the impression that these were reputable drone manufacturers. THEY ARE NOT. These are all made by a single entity and Holystone is a seller. You can probably find this drone on banggood, under a different name, for around $100. Again, not sure what you paid, but after buying a dji I now get why everyone said "just buy a dji man".
I never had a problem at all, with the 720e, sometimes I had problems with the app but never the drone. If you follow a prestart checklist I can’t imagine you having any troubles
Looks like HolyStone knocked it out of the park on this drone,can't wait to see the 2nd part of the video.Any idea of what the price will be? I say "HOLYSTONE"😁 Knox,NY
@@b4ugo I actually did that after I finished watching this video the representative at holy stone said they are currently out of stock but will email me once there back in stock
No sir, the SE is the best drone at this price point, DJI has 74% of the market for a reason. But, HS definitely makes the best mini and beginner drone and this 720g is a good drone, if they didn’t make drones like this DJI could charge what ever they want so HS has an important part in the industry. Thanks for asking!
@@b4ugo Interestingly I'm seeing a $429 amazon price for DJI mini Fly more package, (3 batteries, case, props, etc) is this likely due to the impending Mini 3?? I realize it's older technology, but for me that seems like a good price package for my first drone. (besides my HS 210)
Just found your yt channel today Is very interesting to compare the 2, the 720E and the 720G Initially the G LOOKS like a downgrade but if you look real close, it looks like its a much more solid built drone, even tho it's smaller. The better quality is obvious, looks like a little tank ! I am new to drones and really like the look of the 700E, like that bar style base. Know nothing more about it but is interesting it's one of your favorites too Going to shoot in the dark, after seeing your drone name B4UGO, IT looks a lot like a ham radio callsign ; W4UGO would be a typical one. You a ham too ?
Lol, no Ham radio here. The 720G is a much better flying drone, lighter, faster, much better camera and better flight time, but most of all it connects better with the app, I had issues sometimes with the 720E. As always I say buy the 210 first to learn to fly, then move up. But, right now the DEERC D60 (same company) has the D60 at 40% off, thats a REALLY good drone, link and discount are in my video description.
James I love your videos with every level of drone all the great tips and love your house scenes and yard it really adds to it Iike to see more on functions how to do way points and other features
Glad you like them! Bruce, I hate to encourage people doing autonomous features on a budget drone without obstacle avoidance, other than RTH. Especially waypoints! Lol, I do need to go back and change the "Just Released" after a year! Thanks for watching!
@@b4ugo I’m fully legal anyway (here in the UK) and both for safety and better visibility while flying at night, landing lights would be a must for me.
Something you will never hear a 720e owner say!! I love the 6 hour charge option..😂😂
You got that right!
I must say that you have got some of the best and most informative drone reviews I've seen on yt. I've been researching drones for the past year or so and can't believe that I just recently found your channel!

good videos of the hs drones
Thanks Phil
Good video, James! Waiting on mine to arrive from Amazon today. Can't wait to fly the 720G.
Awesome, let me know how you like it, is this your first drone?
sending love from Cleveland Ohio!! #HolyStone makes some good drones!! thanks for the review brother! I trust you!
I watch video for HS210, that's the way I should have started, I ordered one today. I think my next step up will be the DJI mini SE or if more batteries come available the HS-720G
When you are downloading the app it does give you an opportunity to get a free battery
Thx for doing the review. I almost bought the 720E a while back. I'm glad I waited. I just got the 720G for the same price the 720E was and is still in some places.
your videos have helped me decide since this will be my first drone. thank you so much for all the info! you are very much appreciated!
Glad I could help! Thanks for Watching Randy!
One of the best drone channels on YT. *Drones are in search of trees.*
Lol, thanks Gunner
My drone has a tree finding app that helps it find them and automatically go at them. Lots of fun, then, trying to avoid them.
Nice job on the review James very in-depth and informative. I noticed the “Orange Crate” your recent car purchase also while you & your son were flying the drones, Nice car. Anyway thanks again for sharing and keeping us informed on the Holystone Drones.
Thanks Tom, already sold the car, went really fast
Great video. Looking forward to the flight thing - Part 2!
Thanks Hari! Finally got it out!
Thank you! Your honest like I would be! It helps to decide my purchase
I know you did this 7 months ago. Can you tell me now. 7 months later if you think 720G still over 720e?
The 720G is so much better, sorry so late in reply, was on break from youtube for a couple of weeks, be sure and check out the DJI MiniSE if that is on your price range.
Wow, you teach so much so clear to understand. Thank you
Thanks Phillip, thats means a lot!
Holy Stone that looks like a great drone hope to be int drawing tonight
Purchased this drone after watching your review! Thanks for sharing the discount code.
Hope you enjoy it! Be sure and let us know Realone!
This was a very detailed unboxing with a lot of useful info.
That was a heck of a crash ...durable
Lol, didn’t want to show it, but it shows it can happen when you aren’t being careful, thanks for watching

Hey i love the videos you have ive watch 87% of them and i have mixed feeling. I want a dji mini 2 but, i would like a holy stone thats almost equivalent to it. I have bought the Hs210 on your recommendation and i love. I bought the Deerc D40 on your recommendation once again. So i would like your honest feedback.
Do i save up and get the
dji mini 2 a holy stone Hs720g or ???
I want it to be
brushless motors
Gps rth and a bit of wind resistance. Help please.
The DJI mini SE is $279 (at drone nerds) but I have noticed the DJI Mini2 is cheaper since the Mini3 has come out. To be honest, DJI has 74% of the market for a reason, they have the best drones at the best price. Holy stone makes the best drones under $100, but when you get clsoe to $300 they dont have the same quality. Also, after September this year all drones over 250 grams will have to have a remote ID, and the 720 is over that. So, I would go with the SE or the Mini2.
@@b4ugo well sir i thank you so much. Im going to get mini 2. Thank you for all the awesome advice and great videos you make I really appreciate them and you
I cannot find a review of the HS600. Did you ever review that one? I thought the 600 drone is the flagship, so how is the 720G superior? I just bought the HS600, did I make a mistake?
Sorry, I must have asked you this question earlier, and you replied. Please disregard, and thanks for the video
Can you compare it to any of dgi drones? In terms of fly stability, video recording ect ?? Or dgi are on different league ? Somehow clips from dgi drones looks much better, sharper, clearer. Is it post recording editing or dgi are simply superior ?
Great question, i answered it in the other video
Nice video 😊
Thanks for the great review. That's interesting that the lighter 720G flies better in high winds than the 720E. Why do you say to never fly in headless mode? (14:25)
Headless mode Takes away the orientation of the drone, so it trained your subconscious to fly that way, then when you want to start getting some video shots, and you tried to fly the right way, it’s real confusing. So it’s best to learn how to fly a drone the right way the first time. It really messes with your brain when you switch back-and-forth, and it’s dangerous
Does HS720G drone automatically save media to your iPhone when you take pictures and videos like the HS720E does?
Yes sir
I use that more than using the SD card.
Hi 👋 James, Do you have part 2 of HS720G with coupon ready. I’m ready to purchase this one ☝🏼😎 Also: do you have a video review on the HS175D?
Yes Max, the 175D review is my best performer, and yes ill post the code on the 720g, wow, it flew for 25 minutes today
Will the 700e pick up 4 oz for beach fishing
I wouldn’t think that would be a problem at all, there are release drops for drones
My son and I will be new to these. So far I'm considering this or the dji mini 2... Any thoughts on if the mini 2 is worth the extra couple hundred bucks?
The MiniSE is a great option also for a first drone. Are you in the US?
@@b4ugo Canada. Thanks for the reply.
Wow do I get a garden like yours with my holy macaroni
Sincerely 💕
Ejike
Lol, thanks, yes, i love my backyard
I just bought the E not the G and after this vid I’m trying ( not shipped yet ) to get the seller to switch it but I don’t think is going to work. I still think that the E is a very good first drone for me 😵💫 .. I’ve watched many vids about the E and the only thing ( remember is my first drone ) I find annoying is the battery charging time ( there’s a solution by buying another charger/battery something ) but I like the landing light specially if you want to use it at night after I learn really well how to flight it.
Its rare you will want to fly more than two or three batteries, there are plenty out there if you want more. Most really good batteries taking a while.
Can anyone recommend the best memory card for my first drone ever the hs720g..thanks..Derek.
Just make sure its a U-10 and you should be fine,
Mine drifts a bit randomly, even in no wind and after calibration. Any thoughts? Thanks
Is there metal near you when your calibrating? That can affect it. They do move around a little (a foot or so)
Are 720G Spare Batteries Available From Amazon or Elsewhere ?
When You download the app if gives you a link for a free battery
I have the HS600 and I'm not sure if I'll get this 720g if you're looking for the same camera same gimbal but more range then the hs600 is better for that. I'll think about this one 🤔
@Travel Xplorer Max is 3km/1.8 miles and I got that with no problem in a open area 👍
@Travel Xplorer Also I really do like the hs600 it's really fun and I believe it's the best drone Holystone has made
dude, why on Earth would you not just buy a dji mini SE which is infinitely better than both combined for $300.
@@jjmcwill1881 I have a Autel evo nano+ but that's in repair
@@jjmcwill1881 and plus people just want to get a different one than dji because they don't want to crash it or lose it
Holy Stone makes a good drone at a reasonable price.
Thanks for watching Arnie, where are you from?
Georgia U.S.
Can you tell me will a samsung s23 ultra phone fit into the controller with the hs720g drone?
Sorry im a iPhone guy
My 720e flew away 2times and on the last time it hit a tree hard and lost its top and gps part and camera
And hs just said it’s out of warranty period and offered my 10% off new drone
Is this available in the UK?
Yes sir, UK Link is in description
Nice drone! 😁👍 #HolyStone
I have a holy stone hs360 as my first drone. I've only been able to fly it a couple times. Seems to be a great drone but didn't seem too stable in the couple flights I had. I would love to get this new holy stone. Hopefully I will have extra money this year to buy one. I am hurting financially right now so I can't get it at the moment
Let me help you out. If you paid around 200-250 for that drone and can still return it then do it pronto. I mean real quick like and in a hurry. Buy the dji mini SE. These are toy drones. I watched these reviewers and bought a holy stone and a ruko because reviewers like this gave the impression that these were reputable drone manufacturers. THEY ARE NOT. These are all made by a single entity and Holystone is a seller. You can probably find this drone on banggood, under a different name, for around $100. Again, not sure what you paid, but after buying a dji I now get why everyone said "just buy a dji man".
The 360 is a great first drone
@@b4ugo Not under this sellers name- Holystone. If he buys direct from China for 100-150 then yes.
I’m not a drone expert, I just ordered the hs720g I saw another review, said the WiFi disconnects, have you experienced this issue? thanks , Tim
I never had a problem at all, with the 720e, sometimes I had problems with the app but never the drone. If you follow a prestart checklist I can’t imagine you having any troubles
Hi nice. vidio;😘😘
Can you send me a pre-start list for the holystone 720 E
Charles, ill put one in the description of the 720G video part 2
@@b4ugo OK thank you
Looks like HolyStone knocked it out of the park on this drone,can't wait to see the 2nd part of the video.Any idea of what the price will be?
I say "HOLYSTONE"😁
Knox,NY
It’s $299, but there is a discount code
Will you be making a second part to this video?
You didn't mention waypoints. Does this drone have waypoints?
No, so sorry, it dosnt, i am just about finished with Part 2 of this drone review
Where do I buy a extra battery for the hs720g I can’t find one anywhere please comment
Actually when you are downloading the app it should give you the opportunity to get one free
@@b4ugo I actually did that after I finished watching this video the representative at holy stone said they are currently out of stock but will email me once there back in stock
How well does this fly in the wind?
Good up to about 15mph, over that I would be very careful
Holystone Michigan
Thanks so much MR BBQ, good luck
Same price as DJI mini se - and only one battery, is this better than the SE? Thanks
No sir, the SE is the best drone at this price point, DJI has 74% of the market for a reason. But, HS definitely makes the best mini and beginner drone and this 720g is a good drone, if they didn’t make drones like this DJI could charge what ever they want so HS has an important part in the industry. Thanks for asking!
@@b4ugo Thank you, from Pittsburgh PA
@@b4ugo Interestingly I'm seeing a $429 amazon price for DJI mini Fly more package, (3 batteries, case, props, etc) is this likely due to the impending Mini 3?? I realize it's older technology, but for me that seems like a good price package for my first drone. (besides my HS 210)
Where in the video do we see the video from the drone?
I did a part two, sorry, thought I showed it in this video also, go to part2
Ahh cheers
i want to know how much weight it can lift and how good or bad is it flying in windy conditions😎👍
It’s good in 15 mph winds but it has been 30+ for a month here, finally shot Part 2, I wouldnt ask it to lift over a pound
@@b4ugo thanks for the reply bro
Thank you Sir. Sorry about the crash. S___t happens...
Lol, that was so embarrassing
How many batteries do you get with this 720G
I only got one, but there was a way in the app to get an extra one for free.
@@b4ugo Thank you so much for the information and the extended review yougave it. I will be getting one. Dr John F
Thanks, there is a part 2 also
i just got my hs720g but the videos won’t shoot in 4k even tho i have it in 4k :/
I takes really good pictures, I didn’t have any problems with the video either. Is it not clear video? It records 1080p to the app
Just found your yt channel today
Is very interesting to compare the 2, the 720E and the 720G
Initially the G LOOKS like a downgrade but if you look real close, it looks like its a much more solid built drone, even tho it's smaller. The better quality is obvious, looks like a little tank !
I am new to drones and really like the look of the 700E, like that bar style base. Know nothing more about it but is interesting it's one of your favorites too
Going to shoot in the dark, after seeing your drone name B4UGO, IT looks a lot like a ham radio callsign ; W4UGO would be a typical one. You a ham too ?
Lol, no Ham radio here. The 720G is a much better flying drone, lighter, faster, much better camera and better flight time, but most of all it connects better with the app, I had issues sometimes with the 720E. As always I say buy the 210 first to learn to fly, then move up. But, right now the DEERC D60 (same company) has the D60 at 40% off, thats a REALLY good drone, link and discount are in my video description.
Hold back what down to turn off?
Hold loan both sticks and In
Cam this drone be used for drone fishing? Does it have the balls to drop off 2-3oz of sinker and bait?
Of course, they sell those universal drone units
Looks good but how much is the hs720G
looks like shit. Buy dji mini se. This thing will probably be priced around $250 which is $150 more than it should be.
It’s $299 but there is a discount code
James I love your videos with every level of drone all the great tips and love your house scenes and yard it really adds to it Iike to see more on functions how to do way points and other features
Glad you like them! Bruce, I hate to encourage people doing autonomous features on a budget drone without obstacle avoidance, other than RTH. Especially waypoints! Lol, I do need to go back and change the "Just Released" after a year! Thanks for watching!
Shame about the landing lights but those can be added later so no big loss.
Yes, but the weight savings is worth it
@@b4ugo I’m fully legal anyway (here in the UK) and both for safety and better visibility while flying at night, landing lights would be a must for me.
So what happened to part 2?
Sorry, just shot it, will be out this weekend, wind has been crazy
If the app crashes, what happens to the drone?
Return to home will kick in and it will come back.
Is it easy for this drone to fly away?
No sir, GPS will hold it on position
I’m going DJI because of my hs experience
Good choice. If this reviewer were objective that is what he would be telling you to do as well.
great voice
Thanks so much!
