Holy Stone HS510 Review

Does Holy Stone make good drones? This is a frequently asked question on the web. Well, you can only look at it drone by drone, as we are going to do in this Holy Stone HS510 review.

With a weight of 245g only, this quad is easy to carry around, even on your person. To make it even easier to carry with you, it is foldable! You can toss it into your jacket pocket and you will not feel it.

Other things that make this quadcopter worth buying include the long flight range, the long battery life, nice camera and a good handful of flight functions.

In the industry, quality has become synonymous with Holy Stone drones. You can check our past reviews on HS720, HS165 and Holy Stone HS700 to name but just a few of them and you will see their excellent quality.

While this brand name makes some nice specimens, there is a flipside to the HS510. One of the bad sides to this drone is that you cannot control the camera angle from the remote controller. If you want to adjust the view, you have to bring the quad home and do it manually.

For such a great looking and powerful drone, we feel that this is an injustice.

There have been some complaints about some users losing their SD cards when the drone is in flight. Therefore, you might want to check whether that happens with all HS510s or it could be a problem with a few.

VISUO XS818 ZEN Mini

VISUO XS818 ZEN Mini Review

Some of the features and functions that the VISUO XS818 ZEN Mini comes with are almost too good to be true.

For example, this quad has GPS positioning, altitude hold and optical flow positioning. How is that for an entry level drone? While it has the word Mini in its name, it is not so small as to be a kid-toy drone. It has a moderate size for a quad in its price range.

This quadcopter comes with a 4K camera. In the upcoming sections, we are going to find out whether this is a true 4K camera. The battery life is quite good and the drone comes with many flight functions.

When you order the drone, it can come with one or two batteries, the latter for a slightly higher cost, but well worth it.

Is there a downside to expect from this drone? Matter of fact, there is one. It does not support MicroSD cards. If a quadcopter will come with a 4K camera, it should have a slot for an SD card because with a card, you can capture footage in high resolution.

DEERC D20

DEERC D20 Mini Drone Review

DEERC D20 mini drone comes from a well-stocked stable of different types of toys such as DE36, DE33, DE32, DE37, DE38 and many others. It is high quality and it makes a perfect gift for boys and girls.

DEERC is the one-stop-center for stunt cars and toys. They bring many toys such as indoor and outdoor remote controlled trucks, cars and robots.

And now, they have added a drone – the DEERC D20 toy drone.

To give you a glimpse of the features that this drone comes with, you will get a 720P HD camera, 3D flips, FPV transmission and many others. For such a small size, this drone comes with a lot to write home about.

But like any other drone, the D20 also has some downsides. For example, it has a minimal weight, which makes it quite unstable in the wind. In fact, this drone can vanish easily even in a small gust.

KK13 Dragonfly

KK13 Dragonfly Review

Despite the KK13 Dragonfly drone having an excellent foldable design, durable build and coming with many features, some small flaws do water down its awesomeness.

The first flaw is in the camera. It has a jello effect. It also has a slight shakiness and therefore, to a practiced eye, the photos will appear distorted.

The second flaw is that this drone is unstable even in the lowest velocity winds. Once again, this will affect the quality of your footage.

Does this mean it is not a great drone?

Far from it! Never will you have a drone that is 100 percent perfect. Therefore, this Anafi drone lookalike comes highly recommended by many advanced pilots. You can live with the flaws that it comes with.

Keep reading for in the upcoming sections, we are going to outline the features of the quadcopter, the design and build quality, flight functions, the pros and cons.
