Great Drone
The Holy Stone HS175D drone has exceeded all my expectations! Its sleek design and solid build quality make it both durable and stylish. The 4K camera captures stunning, crystal-clear footage, and the droneâs stability in the air is impressive, even in moderate winds. The GPS-assisted features like auto-return and follow-me mode add to the ease of use, making it perfect for beginners and seasoned drone pilots alike. The battery life is sufficient for extended flights, and the intuitive controls make navigation a breeze. Overall, the HS175D offers incredible value for its price, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-performing drone.

This drone performs exactly as advertised. Nothing less, nothing more.
We needed to get a better look at some problems on an inaccessible roof, and inspection companies quoted high numbers just to look. Buying a quality, entry-level drone which could do the job was an easy decision. After reading reviews of a number of under-$200 drones, we chose the HS175D, and are very satisfied with our decision. Amazon delivered in less than a day, and the drone was flying, well controlled by a novice operator, within an hour. After a bit of practice, the drone took high-definition photos of the roof in question, and the phots were of exceptional quality and fully met our needs. In the following days, we flew the drone just for the fun of it, and found it more than met our expectations gained from reading the specifications. This drone does exactly what the manufacturer says it does, nothing more, and nothing less. It is very easy to learn to fly it. Best to steer clear of trees and other high structures of course. One important learning–if you think you are losing control, let go of the control sticks. The drone will simply stop moving and hover where it is, while the operator regains his composure. While we are totally satisfied, there are a few comments which we will pass along to other new operators. This assumes you have downloaded the software for the drone according to the instructions provided, and have initiated that software on your phone.1) For best photographic results, a separately purchased SD card is recommended. After taking photos or videos, it is best to remove the SD card and insert it directly into a computer (using an adapter that comes with the SD cards). Download the files into the computer, but do not delete them from the SD card. Then reinsert the SD card into the drone, and use the drone software to delete the files.2) And there is a bug. SD cards formatted by the drone itself have some problem that prevents a Mac computer from reading them (although a PC will read them). The fix is simple: Format the SD card with the computer, not with the drone. If using a Mac, choose the MS-DOS (FAT) option.3) While taking video with the drone, if you attempt to take a still picture, the video will stop. You’ll need to restart it. Not surprisingly, you cannot take video and still pics at the same time. Further, we found while using an iPhone along with the manual controller, as recommended, that the “Take Video” button on the controller will start video, but it will stop on its own about a second later. So, you should use the “Take Video” button on the phone screen instead, which works as you would expect: Press once to start video, press again to stop.4). If the top-right Botton on the phone screen (marked with a circular star) is pressed , a small screen with Chinese characters appears on the phone screen. I have no idea what these characters mean. But pressing this icon on the screen does bring up the controls for the maximum height and distance you wish to allow, and includes a “novice” mode switch, which keeps the drone quite close to the operator.While this fairly inexpensive drone does not have the 2- or 3-axis gimbals or automatic obstacle avoidance of pricier drones, it certainly is a solid performer. Battery life has been about 20 minutes, and the automatic return home on a low battery is a very good included feature.We must also comment on Holy Stone’s service personnel. We’ve had several questions for them, and found them to be available, exceptionally accommodating, and willing to take the time to answer a newby’s questions (probably for the N-th time). Well done, Holy Stone!So, if you are seeking a solid-performing drone for a reasonable cost, the HS175D is worth considering.

I like it . Good starter drone
Itâs easy to learn and fly it . Once you get used to it itâs pretty smooth and some what easy to control . The gps , and return to home future work pretty good. It comes with 2 batteries which is nice , But what I dislike is that both batteries give about 30 mins flight time more or less . That might be ok , but you can go through both in a short amount of time and then you have to charge them for a few hours .The drone is very durable , Iâve crashed it into a wall , tree branches , and a tire . Itâs still solid and flying great . The propellers are tough , and it comes with extras . Which is also great .Overall I recommend this drone. Itâs a good drone to start and begin with.I didnât give it 5 stars just because of the battery life.

Good Drone for Beginners!
This drone was really easy to set up, making it ideal for a first-time user. The controls are really smooth, and the camera quality is surprisingly good for the price, with clear photos and videos.Compared to some other drones I’ve bought in the past, this one feels well made.The altitude hold feature makes it easier to get steady shots, and having an extra battery is a great perk. I had an issue with the Return To Home feature, the customer service was super responsive and helpful when I reached out for assistance. Highly recommend for anyone starting out!

This is my first drone so i have no comparison. It works great out of the box. The gps functions make learning easy. It holds well in low winds so far. It’s tough, as I’ve crashed it a few times already with no ill effects. Even had to knock it out of a tree 20 feet up.There are a few steps to calibrate the drone before flying but the instructions are easy to follow. Calibration must be performed carefully or the drone may not respond as you expect.Image quality is fantastic! The video does freeze on the monitor at times but the drone still operates fine. The internal card makes for easy storage and the photos are easy to retrieve on the app.Overall a great choice for a beginner with a price that is easy to handle. And it’s fun!

Durable and sturdy. First time owning and operating a drone and found this to be a great learning tool. Had a few bangs but havenât had to replace any parts (some which come included). Great unit and very good value for money. Works well in the wind as well. 2 batteries included is what sold me. No regrets.
Felipe CS –
This is a good beginners drone. It has a fair price and it is easier to find parts than any generic drone. I recommend to charge fully all the batteries before any flight. And watch some videos explaining all the functions. Try the first flights outdoor in a safe and wide place. The drone can do thing that scary a little until we get know how it woks. In my opinion, is a good drone to learn how to fly and film, with brushless motors, GPS and some interesting functions on the app. The only thing I didn’t appreciate is the handle for the phone, which if your phone is a little bulky, will be hard to lock it in place. But, as I said, overall it is a good beginner drone!

A great drone for beginners withe auto takeoff and return to home.Iâve crashed it twice so far and itâs survived. Battery life is good.So far I canât fault it for the price.

 This is a great starter drone. It is easy to fly and the “Return to Home” feature works every time. Max height is 100 Metres (300 feet) and max distance is 500 metres (1500 feet) which was plenty for my enjoyment. It also has a “Safe Mode” which when engaged, will not allow the drone to fly more than 30 metres from where it took off from. It is also tough as I have crashed it twice with limited damage, though I did replace a cracked propeller which took 2 minutes and was included in the box as it came with a full set of replacements. Takes great pictures and video, which you easily toggle on the remote. If you do but a few suggestions….practice low flights in an open area and keep it on Safe Mode for your first try. If taking off from grass, get a board to rest the drone on as it has a low profile so the propellers can get tangled easily. Don’t fly when its too windy as the Drone is smaller and can easily get off your intended flight path. Oh…and if using the phone holder on the remote, put your phone on first before turning on the remote as the Drone can start up with a simple movement of the joystick.
