Lovely little beginner drone
So this is an indoor drone to be sure. I first turned it on and ran it and it had a mind of it’s own. Turns out I had my fan on across the room and the breeze it created played merry havoc with the gyro in the drone. So yeah. Be very careful if you take it outside.Other than that, what a great little drone. I charged up a battery (One of them was ready within 10 minutes, I was surprised), slapped it in, and off I went. Follow the instructions and calibrate the gyro on a flat surface *every* time you pair or after a crash. In fact, I’ve used gyros like this for head tracking in other projects and it just helps to re-calibrate every landing. It only takes a couple seconds- you’ll get drift after a while.Anyway, battery life is around 7 minutes like advertised. I’ll time it later. Headless mode worked great (it works depending on initial calibration). Including 3 batteries is a wonderful thing.So this is actually my 2nd drone. My first is a syma and I was having no end of troubles with it so I just went and bought this smaller guy to learn on. I’m glad I did. I learned several things- like the gyro takes a sec to stabilize your drone and it can be a lil sqirmy until then. I learned that calibrating trim shouldn’t be done until the drone is more stable. And that’s just in the first 10 minutes. I went back to my Syma and tried again using what I knew and things worked *much* better the second time around. I still actually like this to the little costco syma I got, and suspect I’ll be bringing this little guy with me more often.Down sides- It’s a *little* pricey for what you’re getting, but with the 3 batteries it works out okay.- It is *very* breeze susceptible.- The battery system is friction and a little 2 pin clip you need to be careful with- If you’re running low on battery the loop function doesn’t like to work.Pros:+ Rugged- I bopped it around a few times but because of the prop cowls it just bounces and stops+ Small- For an indoor drone this is good- more room to move around. The syma is about 6″ and it covers distance very quickly compared to this guy on speed 1. Speed 3 is pretty fast.+ Great for learning- I imagine I’ll be stepping up at some point to a more powerful drone, but for now this is giving me a good introduction to headless and traditional flight.From what I’ve heard, Holy Stone has amazing customer service. If you’re having problems with your drone, make sure it’s on a *flat* surface before you calibrate the gyro, and give it another go. Otherwise, talk to CS and see if you just got a bum drone.
