I was looking for something to replace a dead mini rc copter that ate a lot of batteries and was very difficult to fly. I wanted the replacement to be something with a rechargeable battery and could be flown both indoors and outdoors. I looked at a few mini-drones in the sub-$30 price point including the ones Amazon had recommended. This Holy Stone Mini Drone model garnered my attention because of the 2 rechargeable batteries and the take off button feature on the remote in addition to it being inexpensive.
Once I received the drone I flew it in the evening in the backyard. Never having had flown a drone before, the learning curve on this model was not steep. The directions provided enough guidance to get the drone flying. Plus the LED lights on the drone proved to be valuable- there are red leds in the rear and blue in the front. Especially helpful when flying it in the dark or headed mode. In slightly windy conditions outdoors you may need to adjust how you fly lest the winds blow the drone further a flight then you desire. I have had a ball with this drone mostly my backyard. In low to minimal wind condition the drone does stay stable enough for my expectations. The trim works pretty good. The drone has a bit of zip too. I have flown it upwards of 50 feet overhead and 100 feet away without problems. Although I did get it caught it a tree once. Fortunately, the drone being lightweight, a breeze brought it down without damage. Indoors this drone is very capable. It can buzz around stably and even hit a wall and not be damaged. I enjoy using it outdoors more. I am impressed with the battery life of the 2 batteries. It seems like I get a little more that 8 flight minutes out of each. The drone is very sturdy. I have hit it off the house, bounced it off a wood fence, flown it through foliage and trees and the body and blades withstood the impacts. The remote is probably the weakest point on this drone. Though I like its looks cosmetically it feels light in the hands and the controls do not have a lot of resistance especially compared to the Air Hogs remotes I have used. I had a couple of incidents where it seemed the drone was uncontrollable but was thankful there was an landing button that brought the drone down safely. In the instructions there is also an emergency landing sequence you can press on the controllers to initiate. The drone flip button is entertaining. The one button launch and land are very helpful. I have not had the opportunity to use the drone in headless mode nor have I used the speed controls a lot because it is easy and fun in its standard mode. I lost a blade in a crash and had to replace it with one of the spares. However, not being too drone knowledgeable I placed the wrong blade on and found out the drone did not fly right. After examining the blades I found the blades were marked for their position. Each blade is unique to its position. I installed the correct blade and was back flying shortly afterward. It would have been helpful if there was some guidance in the instructions concerning the blade replacement. Be careful removing the battery after flight, with too much force I would suspect one may break off the battery jumper on the drone. Based on my experience with other small flying RC things, this is one impressive inexpensive mini drone. I give it the 4 stars because of durability, battery life, and ease of use. I have enjoyed flying it. The few cons are the remote and the absence of instructions for blade replacement . They are not deal breakers.
Good bird for the wallet

Pros: Comes fully assembled Once you master the controls, it becomes easier and fun Quick charge time Spare props Easy on the wallet Well constructed Scares the crop out of you dachshund
Cons: The battery wires and connector stay exposed and unsecured which I feel effect the balance and trim. The remote is light and bulky makes it feel a little cheap. Takes a while to connect the controller and the bird.
With all things said however I would purchase this bird again. Once you figure out the controls, she flues true. The price is unbeatable.
Great little drone but large controller

Overall it’s a great little beginner drone. It is relatively slow and stable. Altitude hold and the headless mode are nice and seem to work well enough (for a non-GPS drone). The controls are very easy to understand and it has all the basic stuff I’d expect.
My son has wanted to learn to fly a drone for a while and I think it will work good for that purpose. My only concern is that the remote is really big for “kids”. I wish it was about 20-30% smaller (preferably console controller sized). Even with a box rating of 14+ (which I wouldn’t call a “kid”) it seems big. I’ve attached pictures of the controller and drone with a 6” square for scale.
Nice for the price. Cute little drone

This Drone is a great size. It has a flop button which my kids thought was so cool. It was a bit hard to control with the remote. And would occasionally land and wouldn't restart up to fly again. Overall a good little 1st Practice drone. Or for 10 and under kids.
