Holy Stone HS140

Holy Stone HS140 Review

What would you say to a small beginner drone that comes with smart gesture control and voice control functions?

The Holy Stone HS140 RC drone can hear and obey your commands, like a loyal pet.

The flight performance itself is not bad at all, even with the brushed motors. However, do not fly it in the wind.

While Holy Stone makes good quadcopters, they cannot be completely free of downsides. For instance, you have to screw on the landing gear before flying it and again, unscrew them before you can store it. This makes one wonder why they did not make the landing gear a snap-on kind of design.

Another thing you need to be aware of is that there is no SD card slot. For many beginner drones, this is expected.
Away from the negatives, is this aircraft worth buying? Keep reading to see its features.

Teeggi M71

Teeggi M71 Drone Review

Because the Teeggi M71 drone is so easy to control, it is good for kids of the manufacturer-recommended age as well as adult beginners.

Another thing that makes this drone fit for beginners is that the flight range is just shy of 200 feet. Therefore, this quadcopter will never fly out of your sight.

The price of this quadcopter is affordable. If you are looking for a perfect gift for your teenage son or daughter to introduce them to the drone hobby, this will not dent your wallet.

But … low price alone is not enough to make you buy a hobby drone. You want to see its features and flight modes. We will look at those later.

This drone also has some downsides. For instance, some people complain that they cannot find the app for this aircraft.

Checking the Google Play Store, it is hard to find out the app for this quad because a search for the same does not yield any results. Thus, you might have to contact the manufacturer to find out how you can download the app.

4DRC F6 Drone

4DRC F6 Drone Review

The 4DRC F6 drone looks like a high quality piece of work that beginners as well as advanced pilots can enjoy flying.

The bold and masculine looks of the 4DRC F6 quadcopter endear it to many men. To enhance its style, it comes with two nice looking LED lights on either side of the nose at the top. They make it easy to spot when you are flying the quadcopter in lowly lit conditions.

Other things that you can look forward to include a nice storage case, two modular batteries and the excellent build quality. Of course, we shall look at all these in more detail later in this article.

Just as with any other drone, there are always some downsides. For instance, it seems that the 1080P resolution is just hype and that this is more of a 720P or even a lesser resolution camera. Therefore, do not hinge your hopes on this camera for aerial footage.

Another downside is that even with the slightest 1 MPH wind, the drone veers away and becomes quite hard to control.

In some isolated cases, users have complained that the drone lost signal mid-flight. These Are many things to worry about, but there are equally good things.

Keep an open mind!

Holy Stone HS340 Mini Drone

Holy Stone HS340 Drone Review

If you need a mini drone that you can fly easily both indoors and outdoors, you might want to try the Holy Stone HS340 mini drone with the throw go function. You just toss it into the air and it takes off, after calibration.

Of course, this small drone also comes with other flight functions. In addition, it has a camera so that you can have fun taking aerial footage.

Since this is a mini drone, it lacks many things too. For instance, it does not have wind resistance, so it will be unstable and hard to trim even in the lowest velocity wind. All it takes to make the drone fly away for good is a small to medium strength gust.

Another downside is that this mini is not foldable.

Because of the many smart ways to fly the drone, it is good for beginner adults as well as kids. However, as an adult beginner, you will soon outgrow the drone and you will probably want to get something bigger.
