WARNING! This is what happens when I do a review without having my morning coffee. I refer to the high quality BRUSHED motors as BRUSHLESS motors… duh. I am now seeking treatment 🙂 . Enjoy the review: This is a quick video review of the Holy Stone HS700 GPS drone with 1080P camera.
You can find this drone on AMAZON here: https://amzn.to/2N81etE

Luckily you said about the coffee otherwise I would have thought RedBull 🙂 Anyway another lively review. Thanks.
Good , to the point review as always, you’re quite right – it is a MJX bugs 3pro ( modified body) even down to the transmitter, the thing is this, you pay a premium for the Holystone version, almost double what the MJX can be bought for ( I know as I added one to my bugs collection last week for £110 ). If you remember your review of the SJRC S70W you will remember its excellent value for money at around £90, Holystone sell their badged up version of the same for £249, granted you don’t get a notepad or a lipo bag! We love a bargain here in Yorkshire, England. Best wishes.
Greetings from Australia. Always love your reviews. A very positive personality with a professional approach. Keep up the good work. It is appreciated.
P.s Tomtop have Mjx bugs3 Pro on offer $136.
Very good review i have had 2 Holystone drones and both have worked great and were very good for beginners this one looks even better. Thanks again Steve for the great review
How long battery takes to charge? One of the reasons I no longer have the HS100 is the price and the time for the batteries to charge.
I just got this dron, and I actually love it. Theres nothing at all wrong with this at all!
I would like to buy a DJI Spark. My problem is that I have been watching YouTube videos on the Spark and there is a lot of people saying that the Spark has a lot of fly aways and loses contact with controller. Also war stories about the setup in DJI and updates are hard to do. I live in Mexico and have purchased a Syma x5sw to practice on. Any advice on my concerns would be appreciated.
I own several Holy Stone drones. All of them impress me with their quality and features.
Would be nice if u can replace the camera with a GoPro 6
Pretty neat looking drone and pretty well priced too.
P.S.: At the time of writing, it’s not available on Amazon India but is available on AliExpress.
Cap – what am I missing, this drone looks comparable to say a Hubsan h501s, but is nearly twice the price. You could buy a Xiaomi Mi 4K for this money.
I am considering upgrading from my spark remote combo. What do you recommend. ??? Thanks in advance. 👍. I use it every day weather permitting and take pictures and videos just for fun
Since I can’t see a small drone 1/2 mile away that would be perfect.
Like Richard Halliday pointed out here, it is a clone of an MJX Bugs3 pro and, as such way too expensive. Twice the price of the MJX. No amount of service justifies that. Its robbery.
Hopefully they will offer without the camera version so that aftermarket gimbal and your own hd camera can be attached.
Another fine review, Steve. Had someone do some experimenting using a Bugs 3 gimbal on this drone along with his GoPro. They also had this drone’s camera on their headband to keep its app available on a smartphone and had GoPro’s app on a tablet.
Thumbs up
You bought me
I just purchased the HS700. I currently have the HS100. How do you adjust the speed of the HS700? – I wanna go fast! Ricky Bobby
