My first drone experience and I was able to fly it immediately using auto take off and land feature. Extra parts provided came in handy the first few days. Everything about this drone works as advertised and I'm very happy with it.
This is a lot of drone for the money, fun and easy to fly

The GPS mode keeps the HS100 stable in flight and gives you some insurance it will return back to the take off point if signal is lost or the battery runs low. Release the sticks and this thing will hover where it is without any help. All the parts and spare parts were in the box and the manual is easily readable. The phone app lets you dial in max altitude and range, for a little added safety. The response speed is adjustable so you do not need lightening reflexes for control. Be sure you register it at the official FAA web site, as a recreational small UAS, it costs $5 for 3 years. There are other sites that try to look like the FAA site and want way more than $5. I do recommend the FAA's B4UFLY phone app. This app will let you be aware of any flight restrictions in your area. Fly safe and have fun! Note: you need to do a short calibration procedure for the compass if in a different location, it is in the manual and takes about 10 seconds. Without GPS this is not easy to fly. Read the manual and check the LEDs to be sure you have GPS reception. The camera can support a micro SD memory card up to 32 GB with a FAT or FAT32 format. I purchased this one SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter, Grey/Red, Standard Packaging (SDSQUNC-032G-GN6MA) and it worked without any need to format it, it came as FAT32. A spare battery or two are worth while investments. Let the HS-100 cool about 10 minutes before inserting a new battery. I have included a short video taken between 20 and 60 feet in altitude. The winds were 5 mph gusting to 10. This is from the first time I took this up to try filming. By the way, this will fly perfectly well without a WiFi phone connected. It can record to the internal camera memory card. I have started flying it without the phone, mainly because the WiFi cuts off (at about 120 Meters ) way before the maximum controller range (at about 500 Meters) is reached, that and the controller is just easier to hold without a phone stuck to the top. Just be sure you understand what the LED light mean with the different flashing patterns. You should not have any flashing LEDs at take off.
Lots of fun!

Great product!! This is my first drone and I am glad I picked this one. Easy to fly, a bit of a learning curve to set everything up to operate. My previous experience was with remote controlled gliders and helicopters. This drone is a blast. Time will tell how this will hold up. I did extensive research before I decided to purchase this drone and I am quite pleased with it. Update: 5/20/18 removed stock camera and installed Fitfort action camera on a Blomiky Camera hold mount. Works great!
It has power so make sure you know what you doing when flying this drone

Just received my holystone HS series 100 and got into argument with my old lady about buying it but after flying this bad boy holy stone is number one in my eyes I got home around about 7 and it was dark took my time and put the drone together. It was so intense that I had to go fly it so I did. Even with the Sun not even up the Drone is awesome I started off with the Holy Stone Predator smaller drone and moved up to this bad boy I love it so much thank you Holy stone

I liked the flying quality of this drone,strength it has, the speed and the distance. The least thing is the camera, takes good photos but I wish it was more crisp or sharp(clear), I wanted to keep flying but the battery got low and it returned and landed almost exactly where it took off from. Love it and thank you HS,damn good work!
