Overview
Holy Stone built the HS420 as a pocket quadcopter that you toss to launch, with a camera streaming over Wi-Fi to a phone. Altitude hold, circle fly and gesture selfie modes are built in, and an orange body is the only color listed.
Buy it as an easy first drone with spare batteries for longer sessions and a case to carry it. The limitation is missing performance data: no flight time, range or charge time appears anywhere in the specs.
Who it's for
Beginners at any age who want a small camera drone with tricks and spare batteries will find it approachable. Experienced pilots or anyone wanting published range and flight time should look at a larger model.
Pros and cons
- Three batteries included
- Toss to launch
- Altitude hold for steadier hovering
- Carrying case included
- Flight time not given
- Range not given
- Small battery capacity
- Light body in wind
Performance notes
Altitude hold uses onboard sensing to maintain height so a beginner can concentrate on steering, and toss launch starts the rotors in the air. A small battery and a very light airframe set both flight time and wind tolerance. Video is sent over Wi-Fi, so phone connection quality affects the live view.
