Product Information

But while the drone itself feels robust and sturdy, the accompanying controller doesn’t feel quite as polished, made from a cheap-feel plastic with a particularly awkward phone mounting system that barely accommodates large-screen phones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max. That does ring true to life, with a softer look in videos overall, regardless of the resolution you shoot at. HolyStone provides two batteries with the HS720E, with 23 minutes from each totalling 46 minutes of flight time – though you’ll have to land the drone and swap the battery at the halfway mark. In reality, the video connection will begin to cut out much sooner – as little as 50m in my experience.

There is also a standard photo mode for stills, captured at 3840 x 2160, though the fixed focus of the drone’s camera means it’s better suited to vista shots rather than close-up stills. As for the 4K videos, please tap the “download” icon on each video in the SD card album to load them into your cellphone album. Since 2014, Holy Stone has become the best choice of entry-level drones for beginners and drone lovers.HolyStone might not have the same brand recognition as DJI or Parrot, but the company’s entry-level HS720E is a tempting drone for those getting started in aerial photography. The HolyStone HS720E is a surprisingly compact drone, folding down to a rather small 173 x 104 x 56mm that’s easy to hold and carry one-handed. We’ve also recently reviewed and compared this model to the Holy Stone HS120D which is a cheaper model. The phone grip is best described as adequate; it fights a bit for space with the dual antennas, and the weight of our iPhone Pro Max seemed to be pushing the hinge to its limits, but it worked.

The HD camera has a built-in shock absorber that helps you shoot 3840 x 2160 resolution images and videos [that minimises any distortion to your footage]. The camera is a little disappointing as it doesn't perform as a 4k, but, I am speaking to Holystone about it. The weight of the HS720E will be a problem for some who don’t wish to register, or want to operate near people, but it does seem to give it a sure-footedness one it climbs above the trees which not all budget drones offer. PLEASE NOTE: This policy does not cover misuse, accidental damage, water damage, or any abuse of the purchased product.As an entry-level drone, it comes with a remote controller that includes an LCD screen to show telemetry details such as the speed and flight altitude of the drone. Video sample: Our sample clip is perhaps a little unfair as we barely stop so most of it is shows the camera leaning. However, you’ll need to spend more money if you want true professional-grade 4K photography, obstacle avoidance and true video stabilization.
