This is an amazing little drone especially for the price! The 4K camera is pretty good and captures a lot of detail, however there is no. video stabilization, so videos may be a bit shaky especially when maneuvering the drone. I had some difficulty flying indoors, I found that the drone did not remain in the same position but would drift a lot when not controlling it with the controller. I think some more calibration options to correct for this would be great. The drone is exceptional at flyer outdoors however and stayed in position pretty well, even in windy conditions. I love the "Return to Home" and one click takeoff/landing features. The Ophelia GO app has a lot of features and I have not tried all as yet, but the orbit and "follow me" features work great. Also, it's great that two batteries and an extra pair or propellers are included. It would be nice if battery charging was a bit faster, but you can charge two batteries at a time which is good. This is definitely a great drone to start out with to learn to fly and get into drone photography/videography. Highly recommend!
Good for price

Its pretty fun. Im new to owning a drone but forever skeptical so I will be sure to respect peoples space. This is a simple setup. Charge your batteries first. Use a surge protected outlet or a computer, 2 AA's for the handset and your good. My phone is a LGv60 so its a little precarious mounted to the handset and the FWD buttons are hard to get to but you can. Its super fun and operates super easy even without GPS. This is a good choice for your first one, I almost got the lower level one but im glad I didnt.
Best drone for the money! Charge up and go!

I have had this drone for about 2 weeks now and it's been a complete joy to own. The drone comes with everything you need to get started and it's packaged very nicely. Pop the 2 batteries on the charger, let them charge for a few hours, then you are ready to take to the skies. The camera quality is actually better than I expected but note that the photos/video that are saved to the class 10 SD card (not included and make sure it's class 10) are much better than what saves to your phone. I have flown this drone on windy fall days and it holds its own provided you have a good GPS lock. On a day with no breeze, it's a much better flight and really handles well. My wife is not a tech fan and hates most "fringe" purchases like this but she was actually impressed and thinks the drone is neat. She asked me to take it on a bike outing and wanted some sky shots of the city and surroundings. We can't wait to take this camping with us.
Most of the other reviews here do a great job outlining the drones pros and cons but one thing that you won't hear is how durable this drone is. During an exceptionally windy day, the drone caught the wind and smacked right into a tree. I figured the little bugger was a goner but nope. I ran over to the tree, picked it up and it was as good as new. Sure, there were a few scuffs on the blades, but it comes with a backup set. I was actually shocked that none of them were severely damaged and I was actually able to keep flying that same day. Oh and on top of that, I contacted Holy Stone about another set of replacement blades and they offered me a free set, just because. If that's not customer service, what is.
At the end of the day I highly recommend this drone as a first or second drone. It's actually my 4th full size (non-micro) drone and currently my favorite. I say that it's a starter because once you get comfortable with flying you usually want something with pro-level photography and usually end up spending 3-4 times as much as this. That aside, this is still a fun drone to toss in a bag and take to the skies and you'd be hard pressed to find anything better for the money.
Literally my first drone.

A very good drone for starting. I've crashed it a couple of times and it's going strong. Wind does move it a bit but it's a mini drone. The picture Quality and video quality are very good. The only downside I see in it is that you can't adjust the gimbal with the remote you have to do it manually. But for the price of got me flying.
