QUESTION. I think this is the term used. Toilet bowl. I have a Holy Stone 720. I have flown it about 8 times, it’s fully charged, 19 satellites in both locations I’ve flown it in. Both open field areas, I take it up a few meters and fly around me closely to get used to the controls again and get comfortable and then I fly it away about 10-20 meters and after a couple minutes it starts flying in small circles and quickly they get bigger, facing the same direction and I loose control and I have to land it quickly. Any suggestions about to what’s happening here and how to fix it. I appreciate any help as I’m new to drones. And HOLY STONE is of no help here. Thanks.

I appreciate any hel

Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA.

I am sorry, I cannot help you, I fly a DJI Drone 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…


The only advice I would offer at this point is reload the app and ensure all setting are in reasonable positions. If yu are still having this issue and the drone is still under warranty, I would return it for service.

Good Luck!
 
Just back from flying my 720G and it did exactly that. Started flying round and round and round. I panicked and crash landed it. Next time I will try switching off the GPS for a minute or two. Cheers for the tip :-)

Try calibrating the accelerometers and compass. I've never owned a Holy Stone so this is just a guess. Does your remote have trim adjustments? A trim adjustment that's way off could cause what you are describing but it sounds like the IMU isn't acting right. Make sure you have the latest firmware updates. I've seen a firmware update fix a similar problem on a FIMI drone. If you have the option to return the drone, you may want to consider replacing the Holy Stone with a Potensic Atom or DJI mini 4K. Stay far away from anything made by FIMI. Good luck.
