    HS720 has mind of its own

    Does it climb straight up at all, or does it immediately flip and barely gets off the ground? Instant crash would suggest a weak motor. Does it always flip the same way? Hold it down and fire up the motors and see if one seems under powered. Or have you changed the props recently, the wrong...

    Holy Stone GPS drones and the LG G7 ThinQ phone.

    Thanks for the info Ronik. The HS720 has similar innards to mine and does have the 5GHz wifi, so I don't know what my problem could be, I'm thinking it must be the phone, I'll have to investigate further. Thanks, Brian.

    HS720G issue with flight stability and camera

    Well that's a bummer. The cost of sending it away for repair would hardly be worth it. Unless you could find a local guy who knows about such things. Best suggestion I have is to see if you can find a damaged one on eBay that you could use for spares, or repair with bits from yours. That's how I...

    HS720G issue with flight stability and camera

    I have had occasion when the camera feed did not show, and mostly it was because the WiFi on the phone/tablet had just dropped connection. Usually just going back into network settings and re-selecting the drone's WiFi has done the trick for me. Or the other thing is I have been so long in...

    HS720G issue with flight stability and camera

    Hi there... I'm new to drones and only have experience with the HS720G - and I've had some issues and done a lot of research. I actually acquired 3 of these drones s/h and two of them can only sometimes be a bit unstable at the beginning. I believe its what's called "Toilet Bowling" when the GPS...

    Which tablet for Holy Stone drone?

    Cheers Beerman... yeah something like that. I might manage to poke through small zip ties in the corners to give me attachment points.

    Which tablet for Holy Stone drone?

    Well I can confirm that the 8.7" Galaxy A7 Lite tablet does work with the HS720G WiFi. The connection speed is much faster that my old tablet, with the delay of the picture feed from the drone being maybe a third of a second, as opposed to the 1 or 2 seconds I was getting. The screen aspect...

    Which tablet for Holy Stone drone?

    Thanks for the reply bud... Yeah, 5GHz, but have not been able to find specs on devices listing this. Anyway, I've decided to go with the 8" Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite Tablet, as I have an old Samsung tablet and phone that both work with the drones WiFi, so surely a model that only came out 18...

    Which tablet for Holy Stone drone?

    Hi Folks... I'm looking at getting an 8" tablet to use with my HS720G drone. Any one here have experience of tablets with Holy Stone GPS drones? I've been having trouble with devices not seeing the WiFi from the 720G, I don't want to be caught out again with a tablet that is not compatible. I've...

    Holystone HS720 unstable and wobbly

    I'm still learning also, when that happens with my HS720G I discovered turning off GPS stabilises it, seems it is 'toilet bowling' due to poor GPS signals. If I wait till I have more satellites - at least 14 - it is better when the GPS is turned back on, although sometimes it take a few...

    Holy Stone GPS drones and the LG G7 ThinQ phone.

    Hi folks... I'm brand new to drones and have a few questions. Got myself a couple of Holy Stones and I'm having trouble getting some phones to see the WiFi from the HS720G. My cheap Moto e6 could not detect it, so got an LG G7 ThinQ which Holy Stone customer support said would work, but again it...
