Holy Stone HS190: Compact & Foldable Mini Nano RC Drone

ChemicalOperative: This is a great beginner drone. I am an elder millenial and have had a lot of fun learning the intricacies of flying one of these things. I have a large indoor space to fly it with relatively few breakables around. The propeller guards mostly keep it from damaging anything I have around. If you collect precious moments or something you probably wont want to fly this indoors but it worked great indoors in my place. The battery life outlined in the manual is for real, probably 5 to 7 minutes. I also recommend using rechargeable AAA batteries for the transmitter controller. Try to keep those as juiced as possible. At the price point, this is a great little drone. Fun to use, a great stocking stuffer for any little ones interested in aviation.

Keith RainesKeith Raines: I ordered two of the same exact drone only one was red and the other blue. The blue has a battery that comes off to be charged. The red has the battery as a permanent part of the drone and is charged by plugging it in directly. I bought both at the same time from the same Amazon page. I got two similar but very different drones. I wish both had removable batteries. The red drone also has a charger cable for the drone on the remote control and the blue does not.

Erick: I already own a Holy Stone HS210F which I love and fly almost every day indoors. Got this to try out and I am blown away. Flies different but still amazing. At first I could not believe how tiny it was folded up. After flying it around the apartment the first time and trimming it I could feel this was a great flyer. Smooth and responsive controls gave me a great flight around the apartment and the lights give you a good sense of direction. Totally recommended little toy.

KAMIL ALLAMI: My son loved it, but when the battery dies he has to charge it and wait long time. They should add extra battery and charge for it .

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: First off I did not expect this thing to be so tiny lol but that makes it great to mess around with indoors. Also my hands are very tiny so the drone is maybe 4 inches.

Setup is easy and the instructions were helpful. Flying it is also very easy. It’s very responsive and has great control. The motor is powerful.

The self floating works pretty well too. It moves forward a bit, but that’s just something I have to calibrate on my end.

Overall, a very good purchase for the money. Definitely recommend for a first drone. It flies very very fast lol so watch where you’re aiming. Don’t take out an eye lol

Cannot attest to how long the battery works yet, as my son just opened this for his birthday, but will update my review after he messes with it more.

Only thing I don’t like about it, is the controller takes 4 AAA batteries to work. Wish that it would have been rechargeable as well.

Dana: Manual says 5-7minutes of flying time but mentions this no where in the ad. That is not very fun for kids. But for that would have kept it but that is too frustrating.

Coral M.: Es bueno y resistente y es fácil de manejar pero es mucho más pequeño de lo que las imágenes muestran, cabe en la palma de la mano sobrado.

Patient Gamer: 24hrs with this little thing and I am very satisfied. It's fast, small and durable. My first quadcopter and I have had no trouble flying it at all. Gets about 10 min flight for now. 30-40min for recharge. Search the device on youtube, there are lots of positive videos from drone-reviewers. The only real con is the charging cable, which is very thin and has a very tiny, proprietary connector. Very worried about this breaking, but we'll see.
Tips:
-Install the blade guards and get a case so you don't have to fold it up and can leave the guards on. I am currently waiting on one labeled for a Snaptain mini drone, I'll delete this if it does not fit.
-Take your time trimming the flight and you'll get decent hovering, but holding it in place is a challenge in itself (a fun one).
-To flip: press "R3" on the controller. The drone will beep. Then press the right controller in any direction. Be careful!
-DO NOT press the bottom two buttons on the controller. They are for modes that can be difficult to understand and don't seem to have a lot of use. One of these WILL MAKE THE DRONE FLY AWAY AT HIGH SPEED!! They aren't easy to accidentally press, so they aren't a big...

DanielleDanielle: The media could not be loaded.  Ease of Use:
This drone is very easy to fly and use, even for a beginner. I had my mom, who had never flown anything before, fly this drone. She was able to keep it in the air and did not crash. She did bump the wall, but the included prop guards allow the drone to ride on the wall and not harm the drone or the paint.

Packaging:
This drone is packaged very well. It comes inside the box surrounded by plastic. I actually had a rough time getting this drone out of the packaging. Also, the drone fits very well inside the radio.

Portability:
This drone is very portable, and can be flown nearly anywhere indoors. The only downside to this drone's portability is that while, yes it fits in the radio very well, there is no casing for the radio to go into. If you feel comfortable carrying around the radio, then you can carry the drone. One thing to note is that the drone's foldable arms click and lock multiple times before they reach fully extended. Be careful when you try to extend the drone's arms and make sure that you don't try to push them the wrong way.

Durability:
This drone is very durable. Since I have had this...
