This looks like a fun drone for my son to start out with. However, one of the motors doesn’t spin at the same speed as the others. The controls aren’t very responsive and it will only fly mainly in one direction. I’m hoping to hear from the manufacturer because I’m willing to give it another try with all four motors running at the same speed. Will update if I hear from them.

This is Absolutely a Great Little Drone it Looks Like the “Mini-Me” of the HS720(E) it is super easy to set up and I was really impressed the storage case it comes with and how quiet it is but the 2 things that really impressed me was the SD Card Slot (up to 32GB) on the Drone and you can adjust the Camera up and down From the Controller that really blew my mind because I have never seen that feature on a small Drone, it’s not really a mini Drone it’s more like a mid-sized but it truly preforms like a full size Drone, the App is laid out so it is very easy to understand and use, the FPV is great too I sat in my Recliner and was able to fly it through my house using the FPV, the Videos are really clear and they are stored to your cellphone (720P) and the SD Card (1080p) the Controller range is 330ft and the FPV range is also 330ft, the auto take off button on the controller makes this Drone perfect for beginners, when you press it the Drone takes off nice and easy and will hover at like 4 or 5ft, it may drift a little (especially in a little wind) but setting the trim was really easy and once you have it trimmed the altitude hold is great it hovers so well you have plenty of time to use the features on the App (circle fly, tap to fly ect.) or even take a drink lol! I would absolutely recommend this Drone to anyone wanting to learn how to fly Drones or anyone just wanting a super fun Drone to fly indoors on a rainy day or in there backyard (with no wind) bottom line this is another really great Drone from Holy Stone not to mention they have Great Customer Service.

Was very complicated to set up with their app. We had many issues. Eventually, after many attempts by different family members got it to go, after the 3rd attempt to fly it fell, broke and that was the end of it. Not durable at all! It didn’t fall from a high place. The remote controls (through the phone) didn’t react well.

This drone is very nice and compact, comes with a nice protective carry case that is perfect for on the go. The case is small enough to fit underneath the car seat, which allows you to have it for any time needed. Battery life if very good. Picture and video are both good and clear as well. The drone was very easy to learn how to use. I was able to set it up and fly the drone within minutes of going through the manual. My son also tried it out and had little issues getting it up and going. I’d recommend this to anyone that is looking for a small, dependable, drone for learning or just to have when you travel.

Right out of the box, the spring on the cellphone clip broke on the first pull. That’s OK, because if I leave the case on the phone I can jam it in and it will stay. On its maiden flight, the body cracked from hitting the side of the house. But that’s OK, because the thing is made of that cheap polystyrene model airplane plastic (ecxept it’s only about half as thick), so I can just glue it. Needless to say, it’s cheaply made. It feels like I’m holding something made out of eggshells. I’m afraid to drop it.
THAT SAID, the thing flies great! The camera has a much better picture than I expected. It keeps a signal better than any of the other cheapo drones I’ve killed. And it’s even fast enough that I can fly first person. And, for its size and weight (or rather, lack thereof — which is a good thing) it fights the wind pretty well. It can still get away from you, though (that’s how it hit the house). And you actually DO get about 20 minutes per battery, even with the camera running. Very fun to fly, as long as you don’t crash it. If the motors outlast the body (that’s how all my other drones died) I’ll consider giving it another star.
P.S. It’d have got 4 if it were under the $100 mark.

The HS 440 is a little gem. I was looking for a drone to take on backpacking trips. I needed something compact and light, check! Good battery life, check! Adjustable camera during flight, check! Protective carrying case, check! Entry level price point, check! The description doesn’t mention this but you can add a 32g sd card to boost video quality and range. I live where fall colors are amazing and look forward to using this drone to capture that beauty. I will be adding video as soon as I get the free time to get out there!
Beyond the drone itself being an exceptional bang for the buck I can assure you that from my experience HS customer service is top notch. Initially I had to send them an email regarding my purchase. I received a phone call at 11:30 pm est the same day/night to address my situation. Being so late and not recognizing the number I did not answer. The following day Lily from HS followed up via email and we exchanged almost daily emails until my concern was resolved. The customer service dedication was way above my expectations. Thanks Lily!

I was pleasantly surprised with this drone from the packaging, to the included materials and parts and definitely the performance.
Pros:
* Batteries:
They don’t have to be in the drone to charge and it comes with two, so you can fly while one is charging (although, it will take more than the 20 minute flight time to charge, which is to be expected)
* Camera:
You can actually change the view of the camera while operating. Most drones in this price range are set in one place and won’t move or can only be adjusted pre-flight by hand.
* Case:
Comes in a perfect fitting case with additional parts. Most drones in this price range just comes in a box and plastic.
* Ease of use:
Instructions are simple enough and the drone is very responsive.
Cons:
* Not a large done and not very heavy, so don’t fly outside on a windy day (they tell you this in the Instructions)
All in all, well worth the money.
