    Holystone HS710 uncontrollable.

    I had the exact scenario described above happen the second time I launched mine. Damaged one of the propeller arms when it crashed. I replaced it myself (HS supplied under warranty) but it was quite a job soldering and unsoldering all the wires. I do think that having the phone in "airplane...

    720E

    To clear up some confusion here, the transmitter uses 2.4 GHZ wifi. The CAMERA uses 5 Ghz Wifi. You DO NOT NEED a new 5G phone. 5 G phones have nothing to do with the wifi they support. 5G phones mean 5th Generation , not 5 Ghz.

    HS recommends calibration as a preflight check. That doesn’t mean recalibrating each time yo land in the same battery session, but when the battery gets removed, as in a battery swap, I always recal.

    I want to turn off Beginner Mode

    I am trying to turn off "beginner mode". I know I can move the slider to do that, but after I set my preferred parameters, how do I CONFIRM them? An earlier email in this section says that after you set them and CONFIRM them they are saved until next use. But how EXACTLY are they CONFIRMED?

    Antennas on drones

    A general question about drone antennas, although mine is a Holy Stone HS710. Since I had to recently do a repair on my drone, I note that there are antenna cables (coaxial) extending into the drone arms. Are those for GPS or are those for communication to the handheld controller? The drone...

    First time experience with HS710

    It is nice to know and quite valuable to know that the "toilet" effect is recoverable by turning off GPS. If I had only known... Hopefully this will also help someone else.

    First time experience with HS710

    I've just been through a trying experience with my first drone (HS710). Actually it was my son in law's drone, but he told me I knew more than he does about electronics so he wanted me to read the manual and test it first. I did 2 short successful test flights then invited him over to "train"...
