My wife bought me a super cheap drone for Christmas and now I'm hooked.
I bought a Holystone 720G and have had so much fun with it!!
The 720G gets a LOT of bad reviews but I've had zero issues.
Here's a sample of how good it is.
I also have a Holystone HS430 for backyard practice and a couple Temu cheap drones.

Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA.

Nice video, I am glad you are happy with your HS. As you mentioned there is a lot of bad press and as you read through the various postings from HS flyers, one thing that stick out is the lack of support when you do have an issue….

At 0:38 seconds in the video you raised the gimbal, it was a very abrupt movement. If your HS allows you to, adjust the "Tilt Smoothness" to a slower setting. This way it does not look like you are "snapping your head around…"

When I lived in Arizona in the early '70s, traveling around Lake Roosevelt was only by a 4-wheel vehicle on rutted, rocky roads… North of the lake, we often went to a place called Pumpkin Center. It was only one building, it was a Bar, a Store, "grub-hut" (hamburgers off a grill…) and a gas station that they sold gas out of a tank off the back of an old truck. Over the Bar, they had a Rattlesnake skin that was over 12-feet long. I know rattlers only grow to at most 8', but perhaps back when this one was taken it was close to that length, but more likely the skin was stretched… But we were not going to argue with them, every one still carried guns back then (even us…)… L o L . . .

I Googled Pumpkin Center and what came up is a civilized place, not what it was then…
 
We still carry guns in AZ.
I don't think I have a tilt smoothness option, but I think I can slightly move the wheel to slow it down.
This video was my 3rd time flying (many hours now but not then).

I also google this and it appears that you can only control the tilt speed by controlling your thumb on the tilt wheel, just thumb it slower… One of my friends when I lived in Arizona was Leroy Godden, He was in his late 70s and he was classified as a "Pioneer" a citizen who was born when Arizona was still a territory, before statehood in 1912. He was a character. He and his wife has 13 children, he had spent time in the Arizona Territorial Prison for horse theft, and he always carried an old single action Colt .45 in a shoulder rig.
