I'm getting one. I learned the hard way not to fly (even though it's made to) my Tinyhawk 1 indoors. My cats, I found out, can jump up to 6-7 feet when motivated enough. Changed many props.
My dog’s love mine......do cat’s like anything? Lol
I just got mine this afternoon. Set it up flew it for about 4 minutes and landed it. Never have tried one before. Now I’ll watch your video again and get it all figured out. Thanks again for your recommendation on this drone. God bless you Brother once again.
Thanks, I love this drone!
HS210 drone ia a very fun little drone
It’s still my favorite flier, wish they would make it with modular batteries, the Holtone 330 is close but the 210 is still the King of Micro Mini drones!
Good review. I also started with Holy Stone 3 and a half years ago. Started with the HS200, then the HS100, and several other HS drones. All helped me to better understand the dynamics of flying a drone. I now fly DJI exclusively, and very much appreciate having started with Holy Stone. Saved me losing a lot of money had I started out with a much more expensive drone. To learn to fly, you are spot on. For taking video or shooting decent photos... No way with Holy Stone. Just not gonna happen.
Well said, how funny, Holy Stone just sent me a HS200, let’s see how it does after 4 years (drone years are like dog years in tech) and yes, I own every DJI drone
Loved the video, bought this little guy and the HS 260 to help me more about flying drones. I have a DJI mini 3 pro and flown it but wanted something for more pilot hours inside and the backyard .... BTW my dogs love yours🤣
Lol, thanks so much, a better vertion of the HS210 is coming out soon with modular batteries soon!
In a wide open room this drone is super fun. Thank you for all of the videos. You’re an awesome teacher. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks for your kind words! Have you seen the review on the HS340? I’m giving 3+ away on the 20th if your in the US or UK
I’ll take a look. And do whatever I need to to be entered.
Please leave a comment in the second Hs340 video, ill be using a Bingo ball machine so everyone knows its legit, live, ill give out numbers/letters before hand
Love your dogs.
So I just got the Hs210, been had the Hs420 for several months I like both the only advanage I see with the Hs210 it seem to quiter, thanks for the pointers, love you channel,
Thanks so much Darnell, I still love flying the 210, puts a smile on my fac every time
Picked one up for $21 too! Soooo much indoor fun and my wife loves flying it too.
Its my dogs favorite thing to do!
Flew my HS210 for the first time tonight, did pretty well, I know I’m going to love drones!
That’s a fun little drone
Excellent review. Super teacher and I'm hard on Other teachers!
thanks so much, lol, this was one of my first video's. I love teaching, got involved with AUVSI and get to to to High Schools to teach, doing it again this Wednesday!
@@b4ugo Have fun!
I learned the hard way and crashed a lot of those drones or lost them because they flew away from me.I feel like I'm still learning and this drone is really helping
I got this and I love it.
This has always been my favorite beginner mini drone but they just doubled in price (high demand) so check out my new video today on the Sanrock U61
Adjusting trim...when you did it we could nopt see the remote-just the drone
I deleted it
Great post! Haven’t tried the trim yet, but not sure if the trim is saves in the controller or not. Have to try the flip I think you said. Fun for in the house, and using when it’s raining out or too windy out! I can still play and get some ‘stick time’! I use it to talk about STEM with kids to get them interested in science, tech and reading! Thanks
Thanks for the review. Just got mine, my first. Easy to learn, fun, and durable. Gonna pick up a 2nd
Enjoy it but take a look at the new 210F I just reviewed, thanks
I'll watch this again, my HS210 should be here tomorrow
You will love it!
New Subscriber.!!! I just picked it up. You're right. It is a great starting point.
Holy Stone! NY here. Thank you for all the great content!!
I’m glad I took your advice on picking one of these up. Currently I have two very nice drones (DJI Mavic Mini & HolyStone HS360). This little bird definitely helps your skills in the comfort of your home. Thanks again!
Yes, it’s amazing how good this little thing flies! Thanks for watching!
I got the 710D but now I want this one. That’s cool.
Everyone should have this one to fly indoors!
I just bought one and it will be here this Saturday. Even though I’ve been practicing on my Mavic Mini 2, I still want to play with this one inside to get even more practice. Happy I found your channel.
Thanks Gail! Do you have dogs? My dogs favorite thing is to chase the drone around the house, awesome on rainy days when we cant walk them. The 210 is such a great flyer, please let me know what you think. My email is james@b-4ugo.com
@@b4ugo I sure will let u know. I do have 2 little dogs. They are old girls and not much into chasing anything LOL
My Beagle is 15 yeas old and still loves chasing it!
spot on a little drone like that you can practice anytime...no worries,can't lose it etc... if you can master that little drone you can master a $1000 drone is a very short time and you won't lose it or break it...
Lol, I have been using a $35,000 drone today in the mountains fighting wind seer all day, would feel comfortable without starting with that drone
@@b4ugo thats one big ass and expensive drone,geez .f that fails or hits a rock that would be a nightmare for most people...
THANK YOU FOR This review in south Africa it now over R1000 ,after whaching this review iam stil gouing to get it
You will love it! Good mountain biking there?
I have about 3 or 4 of those because the batteries cost so much it's almost cheaper to just buy another one. First drone I flew to learn how to fly out of headless mode. Then I went to fly my out door drones and it was so easy that I got bored fast except for the cameras. Also they make a 210 pro with a 720 camera but only available in Japan. I see your a good flyer, try challenging yourself "if you haven't already" flying it in a circle around you without moving your head. Also I did this, I shaved the front where the light is so it would be more visible and you can see it while the drone is on the ground without having it higher than your head. I also have 2 of the snaptain 350's I see you have. I don't like them much only because the batteries can be a pain in the a*s to put in. Get back to me I would like to hear from ya. Nice video by the way and very good advice.
Thanks Fred! Means a lot! I just did a review of the Sp 350 also, doing the mini drones because they are important and to learn the production before doing the Inspires and such. Lots more coming !
I’m gonna order this one to start with and I looking for the one you told me about. Thanks Brother🙏
I just bought the HS210.
You will love it! It’s the best
I say HolyStone makes great drones,& that I would gladly review drones for them.My name is Michael Pemantel & I live in Knox,NY.Hope I win because the drone that I have now isn't that good,already had a gear break after only 5 flights😯
i have some little drones i bought from 2012...but this one has some great features,altitude hold, auto take off etc...i ordered one this morning..the three battery included sold me on this one...it looks like it uses same battery as my other little drones...connector is different though...thanks for sharing
Nothing flies as good as this drone, it flies like a big drone better than any mini
@@b4ugo i also like how it radio works more like a pro drone...the alt hold will be cool... i will compare it to my other mini's which were great fun to years ago... just the batts are all bad...thanks
I'll get one now, thank you sir.
Awesome, its the best!
Hi came over from Bmacks aerial visions channel great video and big thumbs up from me and new supporter here cheers
I might get one !
Let me know what you thing of it!
@@b4ugo I just bought it from eBay UK brand new ,for only GBP £12 ! They cost GBP £25 on Amazon UK website , I should get it next week , so few days of testing ,I'll report back on the 21st February.
James, I'm jealous of your piloting skills. Keep the content coming. Your videos are really good. You're creating interest in the field of drone aviation.
Thanks Coyle!
I agree. You are an awesome drone pilot. The very best I’ve seen so far. Are you an aircraft pilot? 🧐
Hi ya james , hope you and yours are all well. As i mentioned im taking the hubsan x4storm tomorrow morning for its maiden flight. As we speak im in-between flying my hs210 around my flat and typing this message 🙂anyway have a lovely week and 🙏take care yall! See wot i did there getting ,alll southern ❤️
Lol, where are you from? I have an X4, I need to start a series on doing some older drones!
@@b4ugo hi James , its the x4 storm the cheap training fpv quad . I think u maybe talking about the original x4 . Ps im from West london in gb. Yea that sounds like a great idea:a retrospective review of some golden oldies!!!!!
Ps if you are talking about the x4 storm , I’d be really interested in what you thought of it?
Great video!!
Nice review! Might have to pick one of these up! Holy Stone!
Thanks David, you’ll love it, where are you from?
@@b4ugo I'm in Southern New Hampshire. Enjoy making videos with my Air 2, but something like this will be fun to fly around the house when I can't fly outside!
@@b4ugo I don't imagine you're using a different account like "TEXT ME ON TELEGRAM" to touch base with "winners"? ;-)
New subscribers here. Can you please show us on the remote what "adjusting trim" looks like. We couldn't see the remote in this video. Thanks so much for all you're sharing here. I know nothing about drones but am learning now thanks to you. Ordered and waiting on my 210 to arrive.
I have never had to adjust the trim on a HS210, they fly good right out of the box. Congrats on getting the best Mini drone ever! Let me know if you have any issues and I’ll address it when I go live.
"its meew" commented that he had picked one up for $21. Here in "Rip off Britain" the cheapest I can seem to find on Amazon/Ebay etc is around £32. That equates to around $45. And this is obviously compounded for more expensive costly high spec drones. You can see things cheaper on Amazon/Google/Ebay etc, but get a real shock when they arrive with a hefty import duty bill.
great vid got this one love the dogs lolol
Thanks so much, my Beagle is 15 years old now, still kickin
Holy Stone
Good Luck Paul, your always leaving thoughtful comments that are much appreciated
I love this model! Only irritating thing is the battery continues to drain after I switch off the controller. I need to disconnect the battery each time. Wish there was a switch on the device.
Now We know why he likes drones!
To drive the dogs 🤣 crazy
Yeeprs, especially on a day like today when it rained all day
Thank you very much for your videos, I bought the 4DRC V20 and I am having a lot of fun as you told me, I would like you to advise me on another drone of this type, I was thinking between HS210, HS420 or HS450, or another that you would advise me at this price, I would like to buy another one before I start piloting my JJRC X17, the camera would not be important, thank you very much.
Hi. I took your advise here. I ordered this HS210 as my first drone. You are right, a beginner must first try to learn how to control a drone. I tried to play a drone simulator app in phone and it is very challenging. Glad I took your advise before investing on the higher drones. I have a question though, what batteries and how many does H210 remote controller uses?
3 triple a’s, thanks so much for watching, i think i have bought 10 of these as gifts
Hi. Based on its manual, the left and right joystick can interchange its function. Since I am always using my left hand on direction in mobile games, can you suggest to interchange the function of the two joystick? Left joystick will be for forward backward left and right while the right joystick will be for the upward, downward, left and right facing
Hi there. Thank you so much for the video. I´m thinking of buying two, for my son and me, but here is the question: Can u operate two of them at the same time?
Best reguards :)
Yes, but its about a 1% chance they are on the same frequency, I have never had it happen but I have it has. When I teach at schools we will have 4-5 up at a time with no problem, thanks for watching, you will love them
@@b4ugo Wow, thats great. Thank you for the answer. That helped me a lot:)
I have always recommend the Mavic mini for beginners only because of the stability and safety features built in a lot of cheap drones are extremely unreliable and unstable
My HS210 is not working, LEDs are not on when I plug in fully charged batteries . Installed new batteries in controller. It worked couple of hours initially out of box .
I have bought about 30 of these, i did get one bad one, fortunately HS has the best customer service of any drone manufacturer, did you get it on AMazon?
@@b4ugo No i got this drone directly from HS, i contacted support team and they mentioned like as i received this drone in offer they were not able to replace it .
Hi James! My almost 8-year-old son told me he wanted a drone as a New Year present, and of course I started researching. Your channel is fantastic! I already watched your Vinci V8 review as it is my main candidate. Should I rather get the HS210? I like the easy to use battery and the enclosed props of the V8 more, but is there a really significant difference in flying? I’m going for the no camera version.
Yes, the camera is pretty much worthless, the V8 is cheaper right now and it is much easier to put the batteries in and comes with a nice case. The 210 does fly just a little better but the V8 is a better deal.
New subscriber and loving your channel! I have a question about training drones. Are there any small beginner drones like this or the HS450 that don’t have one-button take off and landing? Seems like a beginner drone should help you learn those very basic flight skills.
With most drones you don’t have to use the take off button, you can pull down and in on the the joysticks and that will start the motors and then push up on the left joystick and then it takes off, that’s the way I always do it so I’m more in control, let me double check this one
At 2:39 Is that with the pop can empty or full? 😊
It’s Full , that would really Hurt, funny, my friends and I have really been flying the Sparks lately more, I have 4 of them, thanks for watching!
whats the max range and height and the flight time?
James, do you have any advice for repairs on this drone? One of the red wires came loose from the black thing that holds the propeller. Is there a way I can reconnect it? We were having so much fun and then the drone got caught in my granddaughter’s hair and that was it!😱
Without being really good at soldering and a really good and steady hand It would be hard, i crash mine hundreds of times with no problems and then in two days my dog caught mine mid air in his mouth and I put the other one in a fountain, lol, but it is still the best way to learn and nothing flies as good as the 210, I thing I hav bought over 40 of them to train and send with new drone pilots, Happy Holidays!
@@b4ugo Thanks so much for the info. We’ll just get another one. The fun we had in a few days tells me another purchase will be worth it.
I see you like Kari Jobe! She is from my Church where I’m a Deacon for 20 years, I watched her grow up!
Around 6 minutes you talk about trimming but don’t say specifically what you’re pushing. Mine is drifting a good bit vs when I first started flying it.
sorry, its one of the joysticks, i cant remember which one and have given all the 210's away, everyone loves flying them but yes, every once and a while you need to trim all micro drones. Thanks for watching.
My son just lost his H210 on the first day of using it. Any suggestions on how to find it????
I have a Inspire2 for sale for $4,500 and you could use a drone to look for it, lol. Just kidding, I gave one to a workers son on the job site this year and told him not to fly it until he got home, i think we knocked on 6 front doors to look in their back yards, never found it! Check out the Holytone 330 is on sale
My HS210 just flew away… my own fault, tried flying in a bit of a breeze and it couldn’t handle it
Ya, its hard to remember the emergency stop in a panic situation
Thanks for the video. Got this for my son to learn to fly drones. After the first flight I cant get the battery out of the drone--I thought maybe I should have removed the tape but I see you didnt do that. I wanted to take advantage of the three batteries but am afraid to break the straps holding in the battery with more force. Any suggestions? Also how do you adjust the trim?
Don’t pull on it, push it out from the other side, yes, I have had a couple of the batteries that where a very tight fit
Let me look on trim, I Thought I went over that, I have had to trim one
What should I buy this or Hs450 the yellow one.
The Hs210 flies a little more Precise, but the 450 has modular batteries. Both are great but I like the Hs210 a little more
Thank you for the reply, i will go according to your suggestion . Your new subscriber .
Hi. I am a beginner in drones. Can you suggest me to purchase the DEERC D50 as my first drone since I want my drone to have a clear camera. Thanks.
Yes, the Deerc50 has a good camera and a great controller for about $70-$80!
Okay I give, where do you find batteries for this thing? I already made a mistake by believing Amazon advertising that said that the 220 mA batteries that they are selling works for this machine. They do not have enough power to do any of the flips, circles, or spins. Any help in this regard?
How many do you need, I have some extra’s! Email me at james@b-4ugo.com
Three or four. Any idea when they will start selling them again? I’m recently retired and fly every day to regain my proficiency.
Those crashed drones are exactly what happened to me
Lol, yeppers, stick with your FPV’s, your awesome
I got my drone stuck in a tree and it was there for a few days and it fell down and the only thing that it did was it hurt the wings
Only one of them
Lol, ya, not really a drone for flying outside, still my fav flyer!
My husband and I each have had an HS210 for a couple years and both drones' behaviour have always been erratic, very drifty and needing to be extensively trimmed even though we're calibrating on level ground. Lately, the drones have taken a liking to punching up while landing, repeatedly hitting the ceiling and floor in the process. Doesn't matter if we're doing an auto-land or doing it manually, about 2/3 of the time, the drones just go crazy. In contrast, my husband has a Walmart toy mini which is much more stable. I was wondering if you might have any idea what could cause a toy drone to behave in this way.
have they always done this??? maybe controllers are worn out...but also motors go bad and boards can go bad also...a lot of crashes can also take its toll... but if they were crappy from day one i think you may have gotten some lemons...
This didn't follow the format of any of the other giveaways from this channel. Thanks, but I'm not following through with this scam.
Hi i am new on the drone community and i wanna know hs210 or hs330 drone from holystone would be better for me please help me
Just Something about the HS 210 feels right, It’s the only mini drone that I think flies just like a big drone. It’s very precise
@@b4ugo Thanks but i need the correct drone for outdoor i heard that hs210 is pretty bad on outdoor
Yes, the 210 was made for indoor as a beginner drone. The 340 does pretty good outside in low winds.
Thank you so much
Too much light coming in the window, washed out the drone for most of the video
Sorry, this is when I first started, getting better now. It’s a learning curve
Not instructional. It is a show-off video of to be capabilities. Does not cover basic controls except in incidental connects without illustration.
Sorry Lynn, that was my first review video, I should do a new one, getting better
Red coming towards you, green going away. Thia drone id dyslexic. (This drone is dyslexic) Good practice for experienced pilots, bad practice drone for the new beginners. I would never teach any habit that those controls do not make sense. I feel Holy Stone got the forward back controls mixed. I feel the l.e.d red front/green l.e.d. rear is something you teach to any prospective pilots. The COLOR RED is coming towards you, for a REASON? Good for enjoyment for Pro's but, I would NOT Teach this to Fly all my future drone pilots. Please get a real dog. A German Shepherd Dog is less irrigating than yours. A drone pilot certification is best if your teaching or giving advice to others.
Awe, other than that this is my fav beginner drone ever
