Product Information

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. Minutes of Flight: Each intelligent battery support 23 minutes of flight; 2 batteries included prolong your sky trip to 46 minutes. The Holy Stone HS720R is the first Holy Stone model to feature a 3-axis mechanical gimbal that works alongside Electronic Image Stabilisation to produce smoother video, making it the best Holy Stone drone to date.

Fly the drone with a fully charged battery, and perform all the recommended pre-flight procedures before takeoff. It also tends to drift a little when hovering, despite using GPS positioning, so with no collision avoidance, you have to take care when flying and hovering close to obstacles. The HS720G can be considered a professional drone and a better alternative to more expensive drones. After we’d worked our way though calibration (we thought) and got flying we had a surprise – the default ‘Slow mode’ didn’t seem to give us enough influence to control the drone.Opening the box reveals a top quality rubberized zipped hard case which, in turn, contains the drone, controller and accessories in custom-fitted places. For white balance, the Auto setting generally produces the best result by far, but they are inconsistent; one shot has close to perfect white balance while another shot taken from a slightly different angle can be too warm. When the distance was over 400 meters, the WIFI FPV signal started to have interruptions on my Samsung S21 phone. I wish they had included slow and fast speed modes to help beginners learn how to fly it at a slower pace. DJI was born in 2006 from a dorm room at Hong Kong University and made Frank Wang the world’s first drone billionaire….

The HS720G camera is equipped with a vibration-damping system to give the camera some stability for overhead shots.

You will not be disappointed because this quadcopter comes with a real 4K HD camera with two-axis mechanical stabilization.

The Holy Stone HS720R is Holy Stone’s first model to feature a 3-axis mechanical gimbal, which helps to produce smooth video footage during flight, plus its flight performance is reasonably good. Camera control is extremely limited and it’s safe to say that the HS720R is a point-and-shoot drone only, limited to manual control over Brightness, Saturation, ISO and White Balance.

The crucial aspect of this drone’s video output is the image stabilization and we’ve got to say that we were impressed.Another cool thing is that you can engage up to 5x digital zoom to help bring the subject a little closer. Although occasionally evident, especially near the corners, the correction is good and seems to handle turns as well as vibration. It is not immediately obvious, but tapping on the map brings up and a tap-to-fly – otherwise known as waypoint –mode.
