The Holy Stone HS110G is a great drone for a beginner, not only because of its features like Headless Mode that ease the job of learning to fly but also because it comes as a package that contains the drone, remote control, two batteries and a very nice fitted carrying case all at a price point that makes it one of the least expensive GPS drones around. And if that isn’t enough it comes from Holy Stone, a drone company with an excellent reputation for its customer support.
I received my HS110G quickly from Amazon and immediately charged the remote and the two batteries. My first impressions of the drone were totally positive. It weighs in at 185 gm with a battery installed and comes with a fixed camera that takes a micro SD card in a slot in the rear. My 32GB card seems to work fine. The landing gear seem like they will do a great job at protecting the camera and are quite short. The result should be excellent stability. The case has a nice zippered pocket that I used to store the miscellaneous parts: spare propellers with screws and screwdriver, spare landing gear, charging cable and instruction manual. There is an interior pocket also. The inside custom foam cutouts nicely cradle the drone, remote control and two batteries with room for additional batteries should you get them. Altogether, a very nice package.
My first flight continued to meet my expectations. After calibration and waiting for sufficient satellites for a good GPS signal I took it flying. The one key takeoff function works great with the drone hovering in place over its takeoff point. The default speed is the middle one, speed 2 and it is a great speed for learning to fly. Speed 1, the slow speed, is very slow and really helps steady the drone when taking pictures and especially video and speed 3 is quite zippy, for the more confident flyer. I flew at all the speeds around my field and landed a number of times. The battery life I got was 13 minutes, just as advertised. I also tested the return-to-home function several times and found it behaves well, first hovering in place and rotating to face its home take off point then rising to the preset RTH altitude and finally returning to the home coordinates before slowly descending to land. The RTH altitude can be set in the app and I was careful to set it high enough to be above all the tall trees around me. As I expected, the low landing gear kept the drone upright after landing and I was almost always able to take off immediately from the landing position, a nice feature if you happen to land some distance away. I did crash a couple of times, including hitting a wall and the drone was unfazed. Just set it upright, reinitialize the gyro and take off.
The camera is fixed and not gimbaled which limits the usefulness of the extra features like Follow Me, which does follow the remote but doesn’t do a good job of keeping the subject in the frame. I have to say, the only thing I didn’t like was the battery charging, which has to be done with the battery in the drone. It do wish it had a charging dock so that both batteries could be charged at the same time. But it’s a convenience item that in no way detracts from the excellent flying experience I had with the drone.
Overall, you get a lot of bang for the buck with the Holy Stone HS110G: GPS, a camera, two batteries, nice case, good support. It has headless mode, GPS and multiple flight speeds which really help a beginner learn to fly while minimizing crashes and reducing the risk of loss. And it appears to be fairly robust so you can fly again after most crashes. If you’re on a tight budget and just want to try drone flying it makes a great starting drone.
Fun drone with nice carrying bag and great camera

This is very fun to fly drone, equipped with GPS, SD card slot and a very good camera. It also comes with carrying case and extra battery, which gives you double flying time.
It is very light (I think it is less than 250grams with battery), which means you don't need to register it.
Camera works very well (see attached video) and does not have the round edges like other brands out there, which is very nice. Application also works very well and the Return To Home was very accurate.
Also, it is pretty stable with light wind (seen in the video), which is very impressive considering its light weight
Overall - very nice and fun drone. Highly recommended!
