Holy Stone HS430

Holy Stone HS430 Review

The Holy Stone Mini Drones stable has a number of good products. Among them is the HS430, which they say is a good beginner quadcopter for kids and adults.

This quadcopter is sold with three lithium polymer batteries for more flight time. HS drones are also known for their build quality.

While this is a toy drone to get you into the drone hobby, it has a camera so you will get an introduction to aerial shooting.

There have been some complaints about this one. For instance, with frequent folding and unfolding, wires to the motors become frayed.

The manufacturer says the HS430 battery lasts up to 13 minutes, but in reality, it is more like 8 minutes. Also, there have been complaints about the quality of the videos and being a very light drone, flying it even in the slowest wind is going to ruin the experience for you.

Another limitation is that this small drone comes with three batteries, but one charger. Therefore, you might have to find another charger to charge more than one battery at the same time.

Keep reading as we look at more details of this drone.

You can never be too old to earn your wings. Thus, if you are looking for the best beginner adult drone to get into the drone hobby, you are in the right place.

While you will not find the Holy Stone brand name featuring in the top 10, 20 or even 30 drone makers in the world, they still make good sub $100 drones. Many of these are suitable for beginners. After learning how to fly on the small HS drones, you can go for the bestseller brands in the market such as Hubsan or Airobotics.

While the HS720G drone has many features, it also has some downsides that you should know about. For instance, this quadcopter comes with one battery only, and it takes too long to charge. The charging time indicated in the user manual is not correct.

Another downside is that there seems to be no accessories for this aircraft. Take good care of it because it is hard to find spare blades or spare anything. Also, the accessories of the closely related models from the same brand name do not work with this one.

XKJ K911 MAX

XKJ K911 MAX Review

Over time, many drones have been made available in different packages to meet different budgets. For instance, the XKJ K911 Max comes with/without obstacle avoidance, with one, two or three batteries.

The extra features cost more, but they can be worth it. Obstacle avoidance is for safety because it prevents your aircraft from crashing into things. More batteries mean a longer flight time.

In the product description, the manufacturer says the K911 Max has an 8K camera, but most people who have used it do not agree. It is more like 4K, or lower! Thus, if you are buying it on account of the camera alone, you might want to think twice.

The user manual seems to be mostly available in Chinese. Also, you need to be aware of flying it in the wind because it is so light and it will be hard to trim. GPS positioning takes too long to start working.

You can see there are a number of downsides to the aircraft. It is still a good entry level drone that will teach you the basics of flying and taking aerial footage.

Keep reading to see its features and other details.

DRONEEYE 4DV13

DRONEEYE 4DV13 Review

The DRONEEYE 4DV13 is a small, entry-level drone that is good for adults and children who want to get into the drone hobby. It is affordable and it has many flight functions, which make it easy to use for beginners.

This company makes good, small drones. In the past, we looked at the DRONEEYE 4DV14, which comes with some impressive hands-free functions. As you will note, the main outstanding difference between the 4DV14 and the 4DV13 is in the camera. The former has a 1080P camera, which gives slightly better quality than the 720P camera that the 4DV13 comes with.

Back to our DRONEEYE 4DV13 review, this drone has a downside that you should be aware of before you buy it.

While the camera angle is adjustable, you can only adjust it manually. This means bringing the quadcopter home to adjust the camera and then launching it again. Anyway, this is not a dealbreaker because many low-priced mini drones lack the remote vertical angle adjustment feature.
