I just received my brand new Holy Stone drone HS720 and I need to say that I am very impressed with the drone quality that is my first drone I have ever owned and I am sure that I had have made very good decisions to buy this one. I am motorcycle enthusiast and I want to make nice videos using this drone from my road trips. If someone is looking for great quality drone without braking the bank I really recommend Holy Stone brand.
Great drone package

Drone w/2K camera that pivots 90 degrees, quiet brushless motors, battery and charger, and an easy to use controller. What else could you want? Oh, maybe a well designed carrying case that stores all of the above perfectly, along with a zippered compartment to store extra batteries, instruction manuals and spare parts. Speaking of spare parts, Holy Stone includes 6 additional prop blades. Outstanding package for the price.
Wow....small foldable drone with big heart!

Love the fact that when the HS720 is unfolded that it has almost the size of HS700D and same power and flight time! The HS700D weighs 600 grams with battery and the HS720 weighs 475 grams with battery. The HS720 folds down to fit in your hand! The HS720 has long flight time just like the HS700D. The stable 2K photo and video capability is awesome with no jello like shaking problems due to the good vibration dampers. The build quality is great and Drone is worth every penny! Buy it!
Super compact drone packed with goodies!

Update 5/24/20: Still going strong after 8 months. I have been flying the HS100 and 700 less and less and have been mainly flying the 720. This is my favorite drone so far. Only thing I do not like is that you can see a bit of the propellers in the video recordings but definitely not a deal breaker. Reading other users reviews, it looks like some users are worry about installing the app. Just an FYI, I actually did NOT install the app and have been flying it just using the remote and it has been working fine for me. I didn't have to agree to anything and did not agree to anything. Of course, you will not get all the options available using the app but just wanted to clarify that it was not required to install anything to fly the drone for those who prefer not to.
Orginal review:
Super happy to find the new Holystone HS720 this morning on Amazon after I read online yesterday that they were coming out with a new 2k camera, brushless engine, foldable drone. Needless to say, I ordered it right away with same day delivery when I finally found it.
I could not wait to get home and open the box. The box was very small compared to the HS700 or HS100 box, which make sense since this one is more compact because it is foldable. The HS720, remote and accessories were all sitting inside the case that came with it. The case is very sturdy and I am very pleased that the company included it with the drone for easy transportation. I usually purchase a case separately so this saves me some money. The box also included extra blades.
The drone itself is a little bit longer than the palm of my hand. I was worried it would feel light and plastic and would have some issue when it is windy but I was very glad it was not the case. The HS720 feels very solid and looks very nice with the blades/arms unfolded. Not too heavy but solid enough that I am not worry about windy conditions. Given that the weight is about 1lb, registration with the FAA will be required if you are in the US.
The remote control runs on 2 AA batteries (finally a remote that you don’t have to charge yay!). Typical of the latest Holystone remotes, smaller, foldable with the cell phone holder at the top and when folded, easily fits in my pocket. I only did a quick test run and the motor is amazingly quiet compared to my other drones. The advertised run time of 26 minutes would be amazing if it really last that long. I just wish it came with a second battery and a faster dual charger because it does take 5-7 hours to charge according to the manual. Not a deal breaker because I am sure replacement batteries will be made available shortly by the company. It would be nice if there was a fast charger or an adapter for the battery so that I could charge it using my standard LiPo charger that I use for my RC Trucks.
Overall, I am very pleased so far with this new HS720 drone. Love the fact that it is compact and sturdy. I also love that it can fly it for more than 20 minutes. I am looking forward to fly it at the beach and take some videos with the 2K camera.
How and understand how the Ophelia GO app works and it's capabilities

This HS720-4K Holystone drone works well, it is pretty accurate and does what you direct it to do, I wish the battery life would work a little longer but it runs smooth when it's running. The Ophelia Go app has a few issues but the company/engineers assures me that they are working on these issues right now. I am a begineer at this drone flying but with a little more practice I might just upgrade to a bigger and better model in the future, especially if they work out the issues with the app. Thank you.
