I am at this point an "advanced beginner" with drones. Had a couple toy ones, Bought this HS430 (and a HS720G) to up my game. I am using this model (HS430) to train before flying the more expensive drone in surveilling our homestead. Pros: Easy to fly Stable once you get it trimmed Can handle a slight breeze well for mini drone Responsive controls Big enough for outside but small enough for inside No FAA registration required. Sturdy- survived losts of crashes into walls ( I said I was using this for training 😎) Cons: No case - (I really wish they had included one) Tail light could be more visible. Lost remote signal and started drifting away at about 120 feet distance No return to home feature/button Absolutely NO information in the manual about the HSFPV phone app Good drone but could be better. Fine for my training purposes. Aside from not having a case, this is a great value and highly recommended for adults learning. Read more

This is my son's 4th drone and easily his favorite so far. Everything about this drone is great. Battery life is decent, they give you 3 batteries, charge time is a little slow, but if you keep them charged regularly it's not bad. Flight control is fantastic, drone hovers easily in place, despite no GPS. Use the trim controls if it starts to drift. He flies it multiple times a day and so far it's been great. He uses it probably more than most kids. The first one we got, a motor went bad after a few weeks, but they replaced it for free (through Amazon). Great customer service. Quick response. They do sell replacement motors, so worst case we could have got it back up and running again if we couldn't do the return. But the drone is robust. It flies great, is super stable in the air, it's fast in speed mode, has some cool tricks too. Connects to the app with no issues, records video and takes pictures, which are acceptable, not great, but for the kids it's just fine. We have had no issues so far. Love that the battery just slides in and out super easy, no small wires/connectors to mess with (like the Syma one we also have, which my son never flies, even though it was supposed to be better, has worse flight time and never connected to the app correctly). Holystone in my opinion is probably the best of the toy drone market, though they do appear to have some drones that rival DJI, I don't have any experience with them. But I would buy one of the more expensive ones for me, just based on my experience with the Holystone ones we have used. It's smaller than you'd expect, but it perfect for roaming around the house. It can fly outside but winds have to be very light to zero, otherwise you just fight the wind the whole time. But this is a great drone for beginners. My son has been flying drones for a couple of years now so he picked this one up right away with no issues. He loves it though, so I can definitely recommend it. I researched many of the drones in this price point here on Amazon and I think this one is best you can buy. It's usually on sale often and has a coupon so don't forget to clip the coupon and save!

I recently purchased the Holystone HS430 Mini Drone from Amazon Australia, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. As a beginner, I found this drone incredibly easy to fly, yet it packs quite a punch with its powerful performance. The controls are intuitive, and it’s been a blast exploring different flight modes. What really stands out is the exceptional customer support. I had a couple of questions, and their team was quick to respond and very helpful, making the whole experience even better. If you’re new to drones or just looking for something fun and reliable, the HS430 is a fantastic option! Read more

I purchased this to learn how to fly a drone. I am very pleased with how it handles and battery time (about 10 minutes average), which is not bad because it comes with 3 batteries. It gets pushed around a little bit in the wind due to its small size and weight. I found that using the higher speed setting tames the wind better. I do not use the headless mode because I want to develop better control skills. The little drone has great response to the controller. It is well made and durable. I have had a couple of minor crashes and so far it's unscathed. HolyStone has hit the mark with an inexpensive, well made, easy to fly drone to learn piloting skills on. It's also loads of fun. I think they got me hooked on drone flying! Read more

I am a new Drone user so this is from someone that has never controlled one before and also I am old, over 70 years so I was not sure which drone was best for me. I wanted one that was simple to learn,fpv-wifi, live video, ability for photos and a solid build as I was sure that I would crash many times. After looking at 100 or so ad's I decided that Holy Stone HS 430 would be a good choice, price, build, and company reputation as they make high end drones down to mini ones. When the drone arrived it was shipped in a bag, no box, so I was a bit concerned of damage. No worry as the drone was in a plastic like container and protected inside the bag. Opening package I was a little surprised at the size (its a mini drone) but the drone is made with very high end armored type plastic and comes with all the listed parts. I read the complete instructions, charged the battery's' lined up the drone and off it went. I crashed 3 or 4 times in a row but the drone didn't have any damage. The battery kept a charge for my first outing 1/2 hour and maybe 10 total min. of fly time. The controls were perfect, No damage at all to the body or blades. Picture on my phone was very sharp, and the app was easy to download and use. For the price and the way this thing is constructed I would say its a super deal for a learner drone and one that would be fun for a seasoned operator to play with. Being new, I was pleased at the lift off and really surprised at the speed this thing has. The control's work good, the operator not so good, but I am looking forward to getting better at flying. In summary this is a good deal, a strong body, great instructions, motors seem to be really good, Live video is really clear and sharp. I have no bad things to say about this drone. Looking for a mini drone you wont go wrong with this one. Read more

The drone was supposed to have a safety feature to prevent issues in case it disconnected from the app during flight. However, it unexpectedly lost connection, flew away, and disappeared. Read more
