I’ve provided pictures of the unboxing experience. Very nice box and packaging to protect the drone during shipping. The blades seemed to be missing, but they are stored on the underside of the protective styrofoam. Drone is constructed very well and feels solid. In comparison to my Syma X5C, this is like a Cadillac. The instructions are very clear and easy to read, unlike other drone manuals I’ve seen. I highly recommend going on YouTube and watching quick demos which show how to set this up for the first time. I had trouble with calibration until I finally connected the app, which walks you through the process and makes it much more simple. The only other trouble I had was getting the screws into the caps for the blades. For some reason the screws sunk in far enough so that the caps slid on for the A sides, but coincidentally on the B sides the screws wouldn’t sink in far enough so I forced the caps on but the are a little uneven and wonky. That aside, I took it for a quick flight tonight since the drone had enough of a charge for a quick 5 minute flight. This thing flies like a dream, you press “take off” and it just fired up the engines and then launches into a hover at about 3 feet. Very smooth operation, and I turned the variable speed all of the way down since I was in a small yard and it was dark. Excellent for beginners, but I can tell that there’s so much more to offer for the advanced drone enthusiast. All of the beginner features can be turned off, so I hope to slowly advance with this drone over time. A very good purchase and I highly recommend.
Fun and easy flyer

This is a very fun and easy drone to fly! I really enjoy the camera view using my iPhone 7 Plus more than I thought I would. Taking pictures and videos up high gives the landscape a totally different look than down on the ground. Thanks HOLY STONE and customer service!
Awesome and batteries last about 12 minutes depending on the height and the wind.

This drone does everything that it advertised. My Grand Daughter " 13 " flew the drone with very little instruction. Love the beginner app on the software. Only allows it to go 50 meter up and 75 meters away. No matter what you do, it stays within the zone. GPS connects quickly, auto take off and land perfect. I really think this is a great drone to start our with. Customer service Awesome.
Great Drone, Buy it!

After doing a fair amount of research, I decided to purchased the Holy Stone HS100 Drone from Amazon. This drone has all he features I was looking for and a few others as well. I definitely wanted GPS Navigation and a Return to Home functionality. It also comes with a “Follow me” Function, automatic take off and landing and you can fly manually without GPS if you wanted to; the altitude sensor will help keep the flight stable. The removable Camera takes really nice pictures and the video is surprisingly clear and colorful in 720p HD. I was also sold on the overall size and look of this drone (not some mini thing) I think it looks really cool. The controller is easy to operate and feels very ergonomic. I have seen some concerns from other reviews about how long it takes for the batteries to charge. I use my Samsung fast charger and it takes about 3 hours to charge, however I strongly suggest getting another battery as two batteries makes for a really nice time out flying. You may also get a Free battery from Holy Stone if you post an Honest review. I can Honestly say I am having a lot of fun flying this Drone. My first flight seemed short but after a couple of recharges the batteries are now lasting almost 15 minutes of flight time. I am very happy with my Purchase of this drone and I didn’t have to spend a Thousand Dollars just to have some fun and get some great videos.
Awesome birthday gift to myself.

Really love this drone. Very easy to fly and fun watching my son chase after it. Only problem I have is the camera does not tilt much. I would love it if it pointed straight down but I still give it 5 stars.
Love this drone!
