Holystone HS600D
This is my second drone. I upgraded to the HD600D after quite a bit of research and watching videos on YouTube. For the recreational use i wanted a drone for, I decided to go with it. First off let me say this thing is more than I was expecting. It comes in a very nice case with everything you need to get started. It arrived on a very windy day 30-40 mph winds with nothing but rain for the next several days. I couldn’t wait to try it out, so despite my better judgment outside we went. This thing is a beast and hovered, flew, took great pictures/ videos despite the wind. It was surprisingly stable and I even went up to 200 feet. Im glad I decided to go with this model and can’t wait for my adventures with it. Loving it so far!!

Easy to fly
I have played with a lot of tiny drones, you know the ones, really hard to fly, fly for like 10mins, recharge of battery 10 years, cats worst nightmare, and end up as paper weights. Compared to what I was used to trying to fly, I didn’t have high expectations of a larger model being any better, despite all the positive reviews I read.To my surprise, this drone went above and beyond any of my expectations. This drone was very easy to fly, once I had all the batteries charged up. Lift off was smooth, even manually landing was easy (if you didn’t want to use the return to home feature.) The follow me feature is semi creepy, but not in a bad way, but it kept its distance and followed me around our front yard. Speaking of the return to home, it is not dead on from where it took off, but It does come probably within a 6ft radius of lift off, not a deal breaker at all. The camera completely zoomed out gives a nice panoramic look, zooming in gets blurry. Yet for the price, I didn’t expect to be able to count the whiskers on an animal from a far.The app was a little wonky at first to try and figure out. After some searching on the internet, I got the drone to sync to my phone.The up and down of the gimble wasn’t working at first (yes, cover was removed) but after calibrating multi times, I got it to work.Here is my suggestion out of the box:Inspect the contents of packagingPlug in both batteries and controllerRead the owners manualDownload HS Fly app (QR in manual)Take your T.R.U.S.T test (Free)Register your drone with FAA ($5 for 3 years)Remove all clear protective tape over any and all optics and sensorsWrite you FAA registration number on your drone (I used blue painters tape and permanent marker)Power on your charged controllerInsert fully charged battery in drone.Power on drone.Wait for lights and beeping to stop(Controller and drone synced)Go to wifi settings on your phoneLook for your model of droneClick on it to connect(You will disconnect from your wifi)It will say connected no internetNow open HS Fly appClick on controls tabFollow the brief instructions or skipCalibrate the compass/GPSCalibrate the gimble(follow instructions in manual)Have fun!Lastly, the carrying case is very durable and you won’t have any worry about your drone ever getting damaged.

Great Drone and Great Value
I’ve never flown or set up a drone before. This one was so easy. For the money it has great features and value. I started in beginner mode but quickly exited and it had great stability and responsiveness. After I connected it the first time, it was very easy maintain connectivity. I was surprised how clear the camera is and with the gimbal the camera was easily controlled without moving the drone. When it returned home, it landed very close to takeoff location but not exactly. I wish the batteries lasted longer or you could purchase an extended time battery. I will be using the drone for my YouTube Channel DunbarLand Farms where I highlight my projects with my Bobcat Skidsteer and Kabota Tractor.
