Holy StoneHS210 Kids Mini Drone for Beginners Adults, Indoor Outdoor RC Toy Quadcopter Plane for Boys Girls with Auto Hover, 3D Flip, 3 Batteries & Headless Mode, Great Toddler Gift, Green

I don't normally do a review of a product that is already highly rated by reviews, and I don't do sales support reviews, yet I could not resist doing this one.I've spent a lot of money on micro- to mini-drones, this model and make being one of the smallest, and I'm astonished at how stable and how well it performs under enclosed (small bedroom) conditions. I've even managed, after no more than a total of three hours drone practice time, to blow the dust out of cup-shaped, wall-mounted lamp housings in my bedroom! I positioned it above the cup-shaped lamp housing, and it remained stable for the duration of my control without even being affected by the gusty updraft it created.It really is a wonderful machine with which to practice, and I've ordered another as a spare, as I know that with repeated use, I will eventually be able to manoeuvre the little gem around and over objects, such as traffic cones. Great practice for someone who will want to master aerial photography with expensive camera quad- or hecta-drones.My other three models of micro/mini-drones cannot compare in quality. It's a "big" drone in small body.And for those wanting a special carry case for this model, look for ASIN B07JRFCXX5 on Amazon UK. (This ASIN is for "Hard Case Carrying Travel Bag for Holy Stone HS210 Mini Drone RC Quadcopter Drone", which unfortunately got sold out shortly after this review was written.)

The remote control often doesn't work in the way you expect. Has a very loud beep from the controller which is distracting and annoying.

Lack of after sales support service. I purchased a Holy Stone HS230 from Holy Stone's Ebay shop and the batteries have expanded in size and lost their nominal capacity.I contacted Holy Stone about replacements and they do not stock parts for the HS230.This is not acceptable and I will never purchase a product from Holy Stone again as their values for not supporting sustainability are unethical.

Nice I got 2

My 6 year old loves this. Took him a while to get used to the controls but is now very good. Battery life is a little short but having a few batteries helps. Recommended for those wanting to learn to fly a drone. Seems to be fairly solid so far after a couple of months of use.

I kid you not, this really is very good indeed. I have quite a few drones both for inside and out and ranging from cheap as chips to very expensive but it's this one that I come back to each time for cheering up.It flys around the house and it's light enough that even if you crash it into anything it almost certainly won't break it. It's not temperamental, it hovers in place, unlike other drones which say they will but don't. It responds control input immediately and it's fun to duck and dive with round doors and through them.It's also pretty indestructible. I say that with total justification based on the fact that my wife, not realising that if you throw it into the air it will be off and running, threw it into the air when I wasn't ready for her to while out in the garden and it crashed onto our neighbours roof. Lost I thought, and it was for four weeks. Knock at the door and our neighbour brought it back, it had fallen off her roof during a heavy rainstorm. For a joke, and being sure that it was knackered (and scheming to get another) I said to my wife it won't work. It did, just took off as if it had not spent the last for weeks out in all sorts of weathers. The battery that was in it still takes a charge and it also works. Our little one likes to try and bat it out of the air if I get it to close to him and he has managed it a few times too. See, indestructible :-)

Bought one for my sons birthday and we had so much fun I bought one for myself the next day!

This was way smaller than I’d anticipated.
