We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. This seems an odd choice given plenty of time is spent charging batteries: a rather slow 5 hours per battery given they offer 21 minutes flight.

It is not, however, on a gimbal – instead that mechanism is on a dampening mount to absorb some of the drone’s vibration. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

The HolyStone HS720E won’t compete with the likes of established drone brands like DJI and Parrot, but that’s kind of the point. Curiously the 1080P 60fps image is much poorer; it has the softness of you’d expect from digital zoom – a shame as having the option of smooth 60fps is nice. This drone is beginner-friendly thanks to its flying aids, such as auto-hovering and maintaining a fixed position in the air.

That all said, it’ll still be more than sufficient for those just getting into drones, with easy flight controls and video quality that doesn’t look too bad even when showcased on a 4K TV – it’s just not quite as clear and smooth as it could be. The main differences between the Holy Stone HS720 and HS720E lie within the camera and battery life. Pricier drones with these characteristics have collision avoidance sensors to stop before or bypass obstacles. It’s worth noting that, as with most drones, you’ll only get a standard 1080p video transferred to your phone – you’ll have to take the microSD card from the drone and connect it to a PC or laptop to view the full-res footage.

Brushless Motors: Brushless motors runs more powerful with much less noise compared to brushed motors, which can enables stable and fast drone flights.
