Holystone HS175D Foldable Drone Review (Should u Get It?)

I think this small user friendly Holystone palm sized camera drone quadcopter is a great choice for beginners as it has foldable arms and props which makes it more portable. Comes with a nice case and the fit and finish on the drone is also very nice. The HS175 is a GPS drone with 4K Camera, 2 batteries, great carrying case, Extra Props, return to home, circle me and waypoints. I was impressed how stable this drone flies indoors and how well its GPS worked.

This is a real drone with a high quality camera and the app is very easy to use. I was impressed by quality of the video and pictures you get from this inexpensive drone. This drone can be flown #FPV and it has good speed but is not a speed drone racer.

In this video I show #HolyStone #Drone quick start to flying this drone, it's camera and video quality, circle mode, GPS features, how to calibrate, unboxing, follow me modes and fly fun characteristics.

Good little gps starter drone. I've had mine a little over a year. It's been a good little machine and a great learning tool. Camera is adequate to learn some video recording. Not having a gimbal with image stabilization does make some pretty rough videos. It will teach you how to fly slow and steady though.

[TheSteveBoyd]

The horrible video quality! It's no wonder I had such a hard time finding a proper demo of the thing. It looks like a fun toy, but obviously useless for making quality videos. I'm glad I found your channel!

[larryy]

Its a good starting drone. I think some people here don't realize this. If you want professional quality you will be spending $400 OR more on a drone

[silents]

Thanks this video helped alot getting my hs175d 2morrow I can't wait super excited.

[lolathescruff]

Glad I watched this review camera quality looks great but very glitchy

[alwayseverythingsqualla]

Thanks for the video. I’m seriously considering this one

[oceanic]

I've got the brushed motors drone HS175. I'm getting the brushless D version. It will be interesting to see what the sound comparison is.

[NovaAgency]

Thank you for the review, I do think the choppy video and follow me mode breaking up is a deal breaker, any thoughts on another model on a similar budget with more fluid video quality?

[LairdKrug]

This was a fun video to watch, thanks for sharing!

[robertsmith]

I was having trouble getting the WiFi to connect and I forgot to put my phone on Airplane Mode. 😂 once I put in airplane mode it worked good.

[zaytele]

i saw it for $50 should i have gotten it?

[mikeperez]

It’s on sale today for 114$ should I get it? I’m a beginner I’ll return it if it’s crap

[justinpharand]

I don't know anything about drones, do you have to pay any kind of monthly recurring cost to use this thing? does it use your cell data or any extra costs like that?

Mine went rogue today after flying great for 10 minutes in a park with hardly any wind . I was really happy on the third flight after setting h and d wouldn’t hold off beginner mode . So after flyjng great great for 10 minutes up and down, far and high enough I was pleased and it was hovering and all of a sudden full speed straight up and full tilt reverse . Pushing fwd was the only way to stop it, ot would hover another second or two and full tilt reverse . I tried shitting down and restarting 3 more times and same thing after a short minute while hovering . One time it went straight up and reverse and I was bringing titdown and controlling it and lost control entirely and finally got it down and packed up for Amazon . Guys really need to tell the full truth about the models that just go rogue out of nowhere u less it’s all of them . Like I said I was in a park around nothing . I wouldn t fly these around people after what I experienced today . It was a 3 day old hs175d and it worked perfect the first cpl batteries .

Great video bro!! i need a budget friendly drone with a 200-250$ budget in my pocket, mostly for real state videos that will be uploaded on tik tok or instagram so i assume i dont need even 4k since social media drops the quality down, and of course, that can fly about 30 min maybe? any advice?? thanks a lot brotha, you got a new subscriber here :)

I just flew mine for the first time, got it all set up, gps mode and as soon as i hit the lift botton thing took off like a raped moneky up and up and up, and if i gave it comand to come down it seemed like it would fight to come down, to a point that i did not know if i was gonna be able to recover it, i hit return home and nothing, i just keept the left joy stick down all the time till i got it back and when it got to the ground it would not shut off, i had to turn it off by the drone botton on top. WTF SCARED ASFK 😮😮😮😮😮😮

[rondeezy]

I've had this drone a little over a week now, every time I would go for distance, and or height the HS175D wouldn't respond to the commands I will try not using beginner mode and putting the cell phone to airplane mode. I wanted to be able to get closer to things, see further and use for my home made music videos, but the drone gets caught in trees and the blades gets damaged, for now I will blame it on user error, as long as I stay around 11-12ft and fly no more than 20 yards I can maintain a bit of control, but as soon as I push the envelope it wont take long before I find myself hoping that I can get it from the tree tops again, my luck will run out if I don't figure out what I can do so that my HS175D fly like the ones that I see on YouTube, suggestions are welcome, please and thank you!!!!

[jimmio]

Why not start from open box, to start up, to paring, to flight???

[ivanc.]

How do enable the follow me feature I’ve followed the instruction video to the T with no luck whatsoever.

[hermyelf]

Good Video, Thx Tommy. Do you still use and like this drone? 🤔
