Holy Stone HS190 Foldable Mini Nano RC Drone for Kids Gift Portable Pocket Quadcopter with Altitude Hold 3D Flips and Headless Mode Easy to Fly for BeginnersGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

I bought these drones to give away as gifts. Before I wrapped them up I opened them up and tested them to make sure that they worked. I had purchased a big drone generic drone for myself and it was so difficult to maneuver or link to the camera. This little drone is so easy to use, especially if you use the hover mode. I love the spinning abilities and cool lights. It’s smaller than the palm of your hands. I know that the kids will love racing with it and moving around indoors and outdoors with itWhat impressed me the most about the drone was a customer service. I had an issue with a couple of the drones and Holy Stone, responded immediately and took care of the issue. I like this company so much that I will consider buying more drones from this company in the future, just because of their customer service alone.By the way, I purchased more of these drones from this company because I liked these little drone so much I got extra drones to give away as gifts.Remember to calibrate your drone before taking off each time and use the trim functions so that it doesn’t keep swaying to the sides too much. I love these little drones and I can’t wait to see the kids play with it.The battery is a little tricky to snap in and remove but look for the small arrow orientation and two little round knobs to align it.

The media could not be loaded. Ease of Use:This drone is very easy to fly and use, even for a beginner. I had my mom, who had never flown anything before, fly this drone. She was able to keep it in the air and did not crash. She did bump the wall, but the included prop guards allow the drone to ride on the wall and not harm the drone or the paint.Packaging:This drone is packaged very well. It comes inside the box surrounded by plastic. I actually had a rough time getting this drone out of the packaging. Also, the drone fits very well inside the radio.Portability:This drone is very portable, and can be flown nearly anywhere indoors. The only downside to this drone's portability is that while, yes it fits in the radio very well, there is no casing for the radio to go into. If you feel comfortable carrying around the radio, then you can carry the drone. One thing to note is that the drone's foldable arms click and lock multiple times before they reach fully extended. Be careful when you try to extend the drone's arms and make sure that you don't try to push them the wrong way.Durability:This drone is very durable. Since I have had this and flown it, (I have probably flown it 10 times) I have had only a few crashes, and the ones that I have had do no damage. There is also rubber stoppers on the bottom of each motor that in the event of the drone being dropped, there is no damage. If you do crash, make sure that you kill the motors as per the manual.Quality of Materials:This drone's quality feels that of a $40 maybe even $50 drone. The radio feels like it is worth the price you pay. I would rather have most of the quality in the drone anyways, and that is where all the quality has been placed.Battery Life:This drone advertises 5 - 7 minutes of battery life. I find this to be correct.Charging time:This drone takes around 40 minutes to charge.Skill Level of Pilot:I would let anyone fly this drone, even someone who has never flown anything before, whether it be plane, heli, or quad. This drone is so easy and simple to fly that almost anyone could fly it. One other nice thing is that this drone's controls are very very similar to my larger drone also from Holy Stone.Indoor Flight:This drone flies its best indoors. It can do flips indoors as well.Outdoor Flight:Only an experienced pilot should fly this drone outside. This drone can be taken by the wind very easily. I would only recommend flying this drone outside on high speed so that you can fight the wind.Is this quad noisy?Some members of my family call this drone a bee. It does sound a-lot like a very large bee. This drone is not too loud, but I would not call it quiet.Box to Air Time:You can get this drone from the box into the air in under an hour, depending on how long the battery takes to charge (my battery came half full)Quality of features:The flip feature on this drone works great. Just make sure that once you press the right joystick down to enter flip mode, that you immediately move that joystick in the direction that you want it to flip. Two beeps sound, and if you make no action in these two beeps, your quad exits flip mode.The high speed rotation works well. Depending on which speed setting you are on depends on how fast the drone rotates as well as the overall speed of the drone.The speed switch works well. Top speed it VERY fast and I don't recommend using it at all, especially in a tighter indoor space.Auto Land:When this quad is low on battery, it lands its self. When it gets to a certain point, it won't flip anymore. Soon after, it will land. This feature works as it should.Downsides:This drone sometimes likes to drift. Using the trimmer reset function helps though. This drone has no camera, although that is not surprising for something this size. The trimmer buttons do not do much in my opinion. If the drone drifts, the drone trimmer reset works the best.Overall:If you are looking for a drone to learn on, just fly indoors, something to do on a rainy day, or to impress your friends with cool flips, then this drone is for you.

This is a great little drone. Super tough, our 6 year old has yet to break any rotors which is surprising. I would highly recommend this item but we have had to order three now as the battery charger breaks way too easily. You have to press really hard to get the batter on and off and it eventually breaks the connectors or pulls the wires off. I wish the battery was either built into the unit or easier to get on and off its charger. For the money it is a great value as it is easy to fly and lasts a decent amount of time before needing a charge.

Honestly, amazing little drone for the price. Very agile and zips around like a little hummingbird. Pretty easy to control and gets easier with practice. Only downside is short battery life but that’s expected given the size and doesn’t take too long to recharge. Also, important to note that the drone is shipped INSIDE the little window on the controller. I thought my package was missing the drone originally.
