Holy Stone HS210 Mini Drone - Solid Drone for Beginners

Anshuman Mohapatra

Really nice drone, with precise controls. This drone comes with three removable LiPo batteries. Setting up the drone was easy and the instructions were very clear. I have been playing with the drone for around 2 months now, and no issues so far. Build quality is also good, and the controller does not look cheap.
Cons: The only thing I disliked about this drone was the lack of On\Off Switch on the drone, and a charging port on the Drone. You have to remove the battery and charge it externally in a Charger that is provided out of the box. Removing batteries is a cumbersome process, otherwise I am loving this drone.

Small, easy to fly, indoor quadcopter drone

The Holy Stone NiHS210 Mini Drone RC Nano Quadcopter is a nice little drone. Due to the drone’s small size, my son, an avid drone pilot, is able to fly it throughout our home. He enjoys the three speed modes, although I think the fastest mode is a bit fast for indoor flying.

Four stars for non-intuitive power up and flat surface requirement for power down; otherwise and enjoyable drone.

The photo shows the drone in my 12 year old son's hand.

Pros:
· Easy flying
· Compact size
· Three (3) speed modes

Cons:
· Power up and take off instructions were not intuitive (my experienced drone pilot (son) had to read the instructions to learn how to get it in the air)
· Rotors will not stop turning unless the drone is resting on a flat surface; this can cause problems if the drone lands on its side or leaning against an object.
· At the time we ordered, the drone’s image was out of proportion, making the drone appear larger than it actually was when it arrived.

From my 12 year old son:
The Holy Stone Night Elf is an indoor beginner drone with blade guards. It has three speed modes and headless mode which means no matter which way the drone is oriented it will move in the direction you are facing. I had to look in the instructions to figure out how to take off it is confusing because you have to push the bottom left button to start the engines then increase altitude to lift off. The rotors will not turn off unless on a flat surface. That is the only down side to this drone. Over all I like it as a small fast drone I can use indoors.

nice beginner friendly drone

this is a good model to start a kid on. it does not have video or any special features. More or less like a remote controlled vehicle - expept it allows you to learn to fly four propellers. Very SHORT battery life but very EASY to pair and control. But you have a little less than five minutes per battery - but they provide THREE batteries. So for $25-you can't go wrong and it won't hurt you if your child breaks it etc. It can take some falls too and still work.

Practickly fly itself!!!

Ok so I few the lil guy one time, it flew great just as advertised. The only thing away one of the charger burned. But the other one works. I wanted to use one of my for camera and as you can see it worked. The battery could be longer but it has to be the same girth. I put a 600 mAh but it was longer then the original. I like the drone and I like that lands and take off on the push of a button, do flips on demand and is super light.
