Smooth flight and very sturdy

Joely

This is a very nice drone. One of the more pricey ones from this company but to me it’s been worth it. I have some experience with drones and I can say this about the 700e, it’s really easy to fly compared to some of the lower priced options, it’s very smooth, and it not as loud as a non brushless motor drones. Battery life is also very good. Definitely can get 25 mins or so per battery(comes with two). One downside is the time it takes to charge the batteries. About 4+ hours. But other than that, really not one other complaint about this model. The drone also feels really sturdy. You can tell that this model is made well and it is really a good looking machine. It was super easy to sync the remote to the drone so I feel it’s great for beginners and more experienced pilots alike. I felt really comfortable flying this drone compared to the last one I had and the picture and video quality is also quite good. Very impressed with camera. If you are considering getting a new drone, keep this one in mind during your research.

Great drone

Pretty good drone. Having 2 batteries is awesome, more flying time. I like it that the batteries can be charged with usb-c and individually, so they don't have to be plugged into the drone for charging. The case is a nice bonus.

Well built machine, easy to fly, handles well.

This is my fourth Holystone quad. My first was a HS700D purchased over a year ago. The 700E is a definite upgrade over its predecessor. It is slighter smaller but more sturdily built. The build quality has definitely improved. Mine did not come with prop guards, so a novice might have to replace some props, which are included, as they learn to fly. The day I flew was windy but the machine handled it well with a stable flight. I was impressed with the battery life. Better than the 700D. I did have some problems with calibration due to the way the manual was written but Jasmine with customer service helped me understand the sequence. As usual, Holystone's customer service was patient, courteous, and helpful. The HS700E is a nice drone for a beginner or someone who just wants to get some aerial photos or videos without investing several hundred dollars. The travel case is a nice bonus that was not included with the 700D. There was a fifty dollar coupon available that was helpful. I look forward to future Holystone products as they have improved noticeably.

Absolutely Amazing Drone!

The Holy Stone HS700E is an excellent drone! When I got this drone I plugged in the batteries which charged in a few hours. After charging the 2 included batteries I took the drone out to fly. The pairing on the remote and calibration of the drone was a breeze and it was in the air in a minute. The drone flew extremely well and for a long time too. The video feed streaming back to my phone was smooth and crisp. When I looked at the pictures and videos from it I was very impressed. The image and video quality is great. It does 4k 30fps or 1080p 60fps. Both modes are extremely smooth because of the EIS. After the drone auto-landed because the first battery was low I put in the second battery and tested how long it flew. I put it into high speed mode and flew it all around. Almost non stop. It flew for exactly 23 minutes which was great! The battery life is a perfect amount of time to have a lot of fun with this drone. The app connection is great as well so you can easily view the camera from the drone in real time. The build quality of the drone is very sturdy and the blades are easy to take on and off. The case it comes with has 2 slots for the batteries as well as the controller and drone. You would be able to get a 3rd battery and leave it in the drone while in the case as well.

Overall: It’s an excellent drone

The Camera: Outstanding

The Controller: Great

The App: Nice

The Build quality: Super

The Battery life: Amazing

I really recommend the Holy Stone HS700E to anyone! It’s perfect for your first drone if you are just getting into the drone hobby as you can use it in low speed or for a professional who wants to fly fast in high speed. This drone checks all boxes and is a great drone.

Great Value for beginner or advanced

I have only been flying a couple of months and wanted to step up from the hs 120 which is an excellent entry point ; not too expensive not to cheap. I wanted something more though as I was looking for better video quality and more stability when flying . As a beginner this was the perfect next step. The unit is solid and well made. The package came with a very nice case , two batteries, extra blades and nice owners manual. Easier to setup then the 120 as once you turn the drone on the wifi is picked up easily. Calibration was a snap with excellent lighting on the drone. I tested the return to home, follow me and circle me options and they all worked great. The video and photo quality of the 4k camera is very nice. As a beginner I am still working on not having jerky movements when adjusting the camera angles. Overall very happy with this drone. Would have been nice if you could fold the props because otherwise to put back in the case you have to remove them each time. Also even though the books are excellent it would be nice to have a quick start guide for us newbies. Step one turn on the drone , step 2 turn on the remote and what lights to look for at each step etc. . But that's just because I am new at this . I guess people that have been flying a while don't need that. One small thing Holy Stone should go ahead and include the batteries for the remote and a small sd card so its ready to use when you get it. Also, the drone batteries do take several hours to charge and you simply use the included usb cords. Be sure to check the amperage of your charger per the owners manual recommendations so as not to overcharge. Holy Stone customer service has a great reputation and is always there to help. Again very happy with the purchase and considering all you get in the package ; I feel its an overall very good value. Looking forward to much more flying. Oh by the way be sure and register as this is over the minimum weight.
It's quick and easy and only $5 bucks for hobbyists. You only have to register once for all your drones. I think you will be very happy with this drone.

Holy Stone HS700E - Nice solid drone that's easy and fun to fly!

See the video for more detail. So far there is nothing I don't like about this drone. It's very well made (at least feels that way) and comes with some good extras like the extra battery, extra props, and two USB-C (sweet) charging cables.

To be picky the only negative may be that the remote is not rechargeable (needs AA batteries).

Flew very well. Stable. And the camera looks great and can be controlled from straight out to straight down from the remote while in the air. Has follow-me, orbit, etc. Has great distance.

One side note...I have another drone that uses the same app and I had to clear the data on the app before I could connect this (new) drone to the app. No big deal just took me a few min to think to try that.

Overall really enjoyed this drone!

PS - Holy Stone is also great about after-purchase perks. The app will direct you to get an extended warranty and a free battery offer! Enjoy!
