It comes with a camera, so you can practice aerial shooting. That way, when you get a more advanced one in future, you will capture stunning footage.

Holy Stone HS 280

Holy Stone HS280 Review

In this Holy Stone HS280 review, you will see how affordable but feature-rich it is.

But this is not the first drone for kids from Holy Stone. In the past, we did the Holy Stone HS430 Review, which comes with so many flight functions and features.

A few years ago, drones with camera cost a lot of money. Today, brand names like Holy Stone have cameras on all their drones. This includes their toy drones for kids. Even the HS280 costs less than $100 but has a fairly decent camera.

If you are looking for a perfect gift for kids, or for an adult you would like to introduce to the drone hobby, this is it! Before you buy, look at its features and flight modes.

There has been a complaint from a few users of this drone. They say that it delays to respond to the joystick. Small, cheap drone do not lack such issues, but it is good to be aware of such issues.

Some people also complain that the drone flies away automatically after launching. It does this even when you haven’t punched in a command.
