    HS 720E or 720G?

    I just wish someone could tell me me if the EIS was really a decent upgrade or if it were just a gimmick. That seems to be the main difference between the two drones.

    Holy Stone HS600 wavering video

    It's vibration. Normal.

    1st flight

    Good show. How do you like the landing gear and rotor guards? I'm curious if that makes landings softer with less hopping.

    One flight, and then problems... Holystone HS720R

    Glad you were able to find resolution.

    One flight, and then problems... Holystone HS720R

    Did you do the three rotations horizontal or just two? Try holding it still and spinning your body. I know it sounds stupid, but it's easier sometimes than dealing with all the props and things.

    HS720 wiring diagram availability?

    What have you done to yours? Have you opened it up or has it been crashed? Also which controller mode are you operating in 1 or 2? I understand that those two configurations do change the setup of what the sticks do. I am not having any directional flight problems. When I am flying close to...

    HS720 wiring diagram availability?

    Good Day, I should like to know how the WiFi signal is generated and how it connects to the circuit board. Currently I have spotty WiFi connection requiring a bump of the drone to initiate transmission. Also I would like to know which wire to switch to change the color on the wing lights. One...

    Drone Range - How does it work?

    Controller range is a function of altitude at times. If there is heavy obstruction to LOS you can be severely limited. Flying low over trees is a big one as is not being in a clear spot. I would go back and ensure that the connections are all solid on your wifi and controller antennae. I'm...

    Hello! New here...

    Thank you for the update in the laws which may pertain to my operations. YouTube is definitely a great research tool for how not to fly. I consider this a stepping stone toward a more capable and less restricted model.

    Drone Range - How does it work?

    You have checked the settings and ensured no obstacles there surely. You're describing an RTH maintaining altitude and briskly retrieving to a point overhead, correct? Sounds as though you've got serious controller interference. Have you tried this at various altitudes and headings? One gent was...

    Drone Range - How does it work?

    I'm flying the 720. What's being talked about here at 500m and 1000m is two different effective ranges. At 500m most people are losing FPV or First Person View which is the video feed to the phone. This is somewhat variable between phones and not all are created equal. I had decided to use a...

    Hello! New here...

    Hello All, I have been wanting desperately to get a drone and was recently gifted one. I'm learning the ropes with an HS 720 and enjoying every minute. The learning curve has definitely been steep without decent manual support, however I have survived the gaps well enough to have found the edges...

    Apps and questions...

    So I have been flying the heck out of my drone an HS 720 and have found numerous apps to operate with. Ophelia Go, Ophelia Fly, and M RC Pro all work well. Which is the most reliable and friendly to use? I wonder if there is a way to use Tapfly where the drone doesn't have to completely stop...

    Holystone HS720 unstable and wobbly

    Worn propeller blades from learning curves and the toilet bowl effect are the two causes of instability that I can identify. The issue I have with the GPS turn off method is that it always happens someplace more distance than I am super comfy with flying manually, usually on a GPS camera run...
