This little thing is a blast. It flies very well considering how small it is, the remote control is above average, and the app to stream video to your phone works perfectly. I question that feature’s utility on a drone this small, but it does connect and work exactly as it’s supposed to.
This drone also features very well designed micro-battery packs that snap on and off the underside of the drone, making changing them incredibly easy – they are the best designed swapable batteries I’ve seen on a drone this tiny. And since it can stream video to your phone, the remote comes with a phone holder – it doesn’t work with thick phone cases, however.
But that’s a minor rub. This thing is feature-packed considering it’s price, and has the best-designed batteries and remote control out of the nano-drones I’ve tried.

Had purchased a HS420 for my 9yo stepson to learn how to fly quadcopters. The hs420 was the perfect drone for him.
Unfortunately he flew it off into never nerver land, and despite his continued searching..could not locate. In communicating with Holy Stone on another matter, I mentioned this. They immediately said they would replace the HS420 for him!
Very much unexpected, very much appreciated. I recommend Holy Stone drones, great products for their price point…excellent customer care!

I really wish I could rate this more highly. But after flying it about twice a week for only three months, it no longer maintains altitude. I don’t know if it is a defective battery or a motor issue.
I really wanted to like this toy. It was the perfect size for indoor flying, the built in flip function was fun, and the controls were responsive, without being so sensitive that you would overcorrect to avoid a wall.
While no drone of this type has great flying time, the inclusion of three batteries gave you better than average bang for the buck. And the fact that you could snap in the batteries without having to deal with connectors at the ends of wires was the best design feature.
I may buy another one at some point, but it is hard to justify another purchase if they only last three months. And the fact that you can’t buy just the drone is another downside. I don’t need another controller.
It’s a shame, because it really was fun to fly.
UPDATE: A company representative has contacted me and arranged to send a replacement drone. I am very impressed with the proactive customer service.

Bought this for my 10yo grandson. He’s precocious enough to tackle this toy, even though the mfr suggests 14yo+. With a little guidance from gramps he should be well initiated.
I’ve been flying drones for a couple years, and he took an interest.
Nice set of kit, and with three batteries. You will want more than just three and as of today I could not find spares to buy on slamazon or elsewhere…even the mfr website does not offer them???
The owners manual is well written in English and other languages. One of the best I have seen.
Hard to find extra spare batteries, although it would be possible to DIY spare 1S packs because they are just 300mAh lipo cells. [16mm wide x 9mm thick x 30mm long] No BMC charge control inside. The USB dongle does all that.
It looks like the case could accomodate a 350 or maybe 400mAh cell, with a little modification to gain maybe another 1 or 2 minutes of flight time. YMMV
Because this is a ducted ‘whoop’ the chances you will need to replace a damaged prop is moderate.
One thing I didnt like was the props. The red version I got had 2 black and 2 red three-blade props.
They each have either an ‘A’ or ‘B’ marking molded in to identify them as CW or CCW and are NOT color coded to indicate CW or CCW, [which is critical to proper flight operation of the drone].
Page 7 of the manual has a nice diagram.
‘A’ is clockwise. ‘B’ is counterclockwise. Pointing the camera end away from you, the front (camera) end had two reds [CW on left, CCW on right] and the rear end had two blacks [CCW on left, CW on right].
Opposite corners being same rotation, so as to cancel undesirable torque thrust effects of the other.
Because both prop colors are marked either A or B, it is easy to mis-interpret, which makes prop replacement a tedious task and the manual adequately clarifies this, but who always carries the manual?
If you are having problems (such as uncontrolled flipover upon takeoff) it is possible you got a drone with rotation mis-matched props.

Nice little toy for a beginner but an extremely short battery life. If actively flying it’s 7 minutes top. You start shooting video it may not make 5. Additional batteries are hard to come by. Out of stock everywhere. Othetwise it’s fun flying it

This drone is absolutely perfect for beginners to learn drone hand-eye coordination, and how to control a drone for the first time. It’s much smaller than the pictures indicates which is cool, think nano drone.
Battery life is about 8 minutes on speed 1 and not using the camera, about 5 minutes in speed 2 with no camera, and just flat line of sight.
This brings me to the one fail of this drone which is the streaming video. It’s abysmal. I have tried the video on multiple phones, it syncs up perfectly, but the lag time is hideous and unusable to fly it just by video as an FPV drone. Not happening.
Holystone would have done much better if they had not included a camera at all, lower the price to make it easier for everyone to get their hands on the perfect little starter drone that it is.
If you are willing to spend the money for this unit and expect it to be just a wonderful drone then you’ll be extremely happy but do not buy it expecting to fly it by video.
You can take quite decent still photos, but you will still need to wait for the atrocious video stream lag to catch up to find the picture you want in the viewfinder to capture it.
To sum up, I love this drone, I would buy another one, I would recommend it to anyone, but I would also make it perfectly clear, pretend it doesn’t have a camera because you’ll never be able to use it with a smooth video stream.
