Hello from france

[cedricl19]

Hello, my name is Cédric and I have an HS 720 drone for my son. We've been using it for a few months and we're happy with it. Unfortunately last week we used it on a smooth Breton beach, but there was a little water and when we landed, the water must have seeped in and since then we have lost the Connection Wireless. Do you have any idea how to repair? Thanks

Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA.

I am sorry, but I cannot guess what might be your problem. You did not say it but I think you meant, you landed the drone in the water and if this water was salt water, your drone is probably ruined and will only get worse… Google what salt water can do to electronics and you would be surprised at the damage it can cause.

If the drone is relatively new, I would send it in for service, Link to support is below…

Good Luck and if you get the drone working or you replace it, always use a landing pad to prevent sand, dirt, or water from getting in or on you drone…

Since you live in France, there are specific laws and rules for you to follow, please check to ensure these are current.

Travelling with drones | EASA

Are you planning to fly your drone in another country these holidays? Then this article is important for you. The page outlines the validity of drone operator registration and ID, explains where you can use your drone pilot licence, and tells you what you need to remember when travelling across...

Even if you have flown Drones before, here is some Good Old Fashion Advice…

You paid a lot of money for that Drone, put your phone number on it. If your drone gets lost or stuck in a tree and it finally comes down when you are not around, give the finders an opportunity to contact you so it can be returned.

Now, for the Fun Part, But do not let the excitement of the moment get the best of you. When you are going out to fly, do it slowly and deliberately. Get used to a set procedure and even practice it.

There are so many things I could write but these are the highlights that I feel need mentioning.

Plug in your phone/tablet into your controller; turn on the Controller and DJI Fly App (if it does not start on its own…). On the Drone, open the front legs, then open the back legs, and then remove the Gimbal Cover.

The Gimbal is the most delicate item on the Drone and banging or bumping can damage it. I also fastened a short "Remove Before Flight" ribbon to the cover so it's more noticeable and I do not forget to remove it…

Turn on the drone and watch it come to "life." Watching the Gimbal go through its self-check is almost like watching a puppy or kitten opening its eyes for the first time…

Place the drone down (preferably on a Landing Pad) while it finishes its self-test (collecting satellites, etc…).

Check your battery status (Phone, Drone, and Controller), check the Signal Strength, by now the Controller should have reported it updated the Home Point.

Lift off, 6 feet (2-meters) or so, hover a bit, check the controls (move the drone a bit forward, back, left, right, yaw left and right). By now, your Controller will probably report again, "Home point Updated."

If you go out in a rush and race thru your start up and take off before the drone has finished it prep, it may update its Home Point over that pond or that old tree you are flying over and in your excitement, you'll fly the drone long past it Low Battery point and when it engages Return to Home and lands in the pond or in a tree; it will be all on you…

Now go have fun, learn to fly the drone by sight before you try to fly it out a distance depending on the video feed, FPV.

I would also advise you to use YouTube and watch a lot of the Videos on flying and setting up the Drone. When it is too dark, too cold, or too wet, you can "fly it vicariously" through YouTube. Also watch some of the Blooper Drone Videos and learn how not to fly your "New Baby."

I fly a DJI Mini 2 and I do not have any knowledge about Holy Stone, but here is the link to all of the Holy Stone User Manuals and all their Apps…
