Very easy to fly with a decent camera, but reviewers agree it struggles in wind and the battery and live view disappoint.

What we like about Holy Stone HS110D

  • Excellent value for beginners and kids due to its low price point
  • Highly durable plastic build that can withstand multiple crashes
  • Includes two modular batteries, providing a combined flight time of approximately 18-20 minutes
  • User-friendly features such as altitude hold, headless mode, and one-key takeoff/landing
  • Responsive and well-labeled remote controller that does not feel cheap
  • Responsive customer service team often praised for quick replacements and support

What we don't like about Holy Stone HS110D

  • Extremely susceptible to drifting even in very light winds due to its lightweight construction
  • Camera quality is basic; video often appears shaky and blurry during movement
  • Inconvenient charging process requires batteries to be charged inside the drone one at a time
  • Lacks GPS and 'Return to Home' functionality, increasing the risk of loss
  • Manual trimming can be awkward and difficult for absolute novices to master
  • The FPV (First Person View) video feed can experience noticeable lag

Verdict

The Holy Stone HS110D is a beginner-friendly FPV quadcopter featuring a 1080p HD camera with a 120-degree wide-angle field of view and real-time Wi-Fi transmission up to 60 meters. Weighing 145 grams, it includes two 3.7V 1000mAh modular batteries providing a total flight time of approximately 20 minutes (10 minutes each), and operates with a 100-meter remote control range. Main characteristics include altitude hold, headless mode, 3D flips, and multiple speed settings, alongside app-enabled features like gesture and voice control. Its primary pros are its affordable price point, ease of use for novices, and durable design with included propeller guards. However, notable cons include a lack of GPS and Return-to-Home functionality, susceptibility to drifting in even light winds due to its low weight, and the requirement to charge batteries while they are inside the drone.
