Got it!

Please explain to the audience how WiFi is used to transmit video from a drone that is flying several thousand feet from the controller when WiFi has about a 1500 foot transmission limit (and that is at 2.4GHz). That makes no sense. It has to use RF. Also, until recently, Holy Stone drones use...

The IEEE WiFi 802.11 family is not a protocol used for drone flight control or video transmission because it is limited to about 1500 feet (aH will go to about 1700 ft). Since this is an Atom 2 discussion, I was trying to point out the Atom 2 does not use WiFi for flight control. Most, if not...

My fault on the FAA registration. I was using the wrong number. Wish Potensic would put RID number in About section in settings so it is easier to read than the tiny sticker on the drone.

The Atom 2 talks to the controller via a radio signal. No drone talks to the controller via WiFi. The Atom 2 controller talks to the cell phone or tablet via the cable connectiing the phone or tablet to the controller. Wifi has nothing to do with any of the communication protocols. Rather, WiFi...

My Atom 2 showed up yesterday. I bought the Fly More version. It is for my 8 year old grandson. After unboxing, I charged the batteries, and downloaded the Eve application onto a dedicated BLU G84 phone. The BLU G84 is inexpensive and has a really bright screen and good pixel count. After...

Took another run at the HS720R with same results. Calibrated exactly like in video and also calibrated gryo. Has 20 satellites. Perfect day, no wind. It went into its toilet bowl rant and eventually slamed into a tree. I had no control. I tossed it into the recycler bin. What bothers me is that...

DO NOT BUY THIS DRONE. IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK. HS720R IS A PIECE OF JUNK. DO NOT BUY. Took another run at the HS720R. It was a crystal clear day and I had 20 satellites. Calibration went well. It is brand new. and yes, it did exactly the same thing as before.... it hovered well for about 20-30...

In my opinion, it boils down to this. First, I need a budget drone that has good and predictable flight characteristics. All the fancy flight and camare features don't mean a thing if the drone is not a well behaved flyer (like the HS720R junk). If the drone has very good flight characteristics...

The Atom 2 defenitly has built in Remote ID. No question about it. But a firmware update may be needed to activate it. Do a littel research on Google .

I fly DJI drones (Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3), so I am familiar with good fling drones. I wanted an inexpensive, well featured, drone for my Grandson; so I bought a Holy Stone HS720R. But it's been nothing but trouble trying to fly that thing (junk drone). I have also had trouble with other Holy...

I am going to take another run at this. Holy Stone told me to calibrate horizontal with clockwise spin and vertical counterclockwise with camera down (in writing in email from them). I am going to try clockwise horizontal and vertical nose up clockwise. By the way, I fly my my DJI Mini 4 Pro and...

I have an HS720R with flight problems. I have recalibrated about 10 times an still the HS720R flies out of control. It flies ok for about a minute and then I lose control (it will not respond to controller). Have you resolved your problem permanently?

I have had nothing but problems with the HS720R I bought for my grandson here in the states. I am unaware of an improved batch. Ours toilet bowles and flyes along the ground out of control. No warrantee from Holy Stone because I purchased it from eBay. Also saw video's showing HS720R doing same...

First, I am a very experienced DJI pilot (I own three). I few months ago I purchased a new Holy Stone HS720R for my grandson from eBay. Right out of the box, it toilet bowled and skidded along the ground out of control. Recalibration did not help, and I had plenty of satellites. Subsequently, I...
