The HS110G is doable as a first drone - as it was for me, but unless you are an experienced pilot, be patient and take the time on two points: first, give the drone the time to “shake hands” with the GPS - a weak signal will risk the reliability of the return-to-home feature. It’ll fly without the GPS indoors or out, but you’ll appreciate the added help. So sink up the gyro, and then trigger the GPS and give it time to sync.
Second, use the auto take-off feature but be familiar with the controls - default for right joy stick is forward-back, slide right-left. Once she takes off be ready on the right thumb in case she drifts, in which case, you can trim the controls to make it stable. The instructions are clear in Section 12.5 in the manual - depress and hold the trimmer button then joystick to stabilize the drone, then release the button. It’ll be much easier to train and fly.
Finally, this is not in the manual, but keep you altitude low to start. That way you can reach it if you land in a tree branch, but also, winds aloft can be different than nearer the ground. So be patient as you are flight training. Stay within reach and practice your controls - and have fun.
Very easy to setup. Easy to learn to fly. Overall wonderful experience

I like the ease of flying unit. The lights really help in navigation. I am a bit disappointed in the battery life, being new to drones. It would be great to develop a multi-charge station instead of having to use the drone to charge. Overall am very pleased with the purchase.

I'd highly recommend this drone and would highly recommend Holy Stone. Their customer service is amazing and their products are nice.

As a relatively new drone enthusiast, I logged countless number of research hours scouring the net for the best beginner drone at the right price point with advanced functionality to keep me entertained as I develop my skills. I luckily landed on this HS drone package and I'm extremely happy with my purchase! From the minute you open the box with it's minimalistic packaging, to it's well designed bag with sturdy safe foam housing, this drone is super easy to get up in the air in a hurry. Whether you use the GPS auto return feature or the altitude mode to start your ascent, this drone is sleek and easy to maneuver. The follow me GPS feature is super cool (works much better outside) and the drone was able to hold it's own even in windy conditions at the beach. Camera resolution is great with 1080P and I only wished it had an adjustable lens, but for the price point I get it. The remote is sturdy and compact with my phone well secured with the adjustable grip. The ergo handles made it easy to hold. The flight time using both batteries is as advertised 13+13=26 min. Even after crashing it a couple of times, while testing the kill switch, the drone is super durable and barely scratched. All in all, the drone is definitely giving you bang for buck and I'd highly recommend it for beginners or more advanced users.
