Holy Stone HS110G review: 97 specs compared

What owners dislike

• Hard to set up and calibrateOwners say calibration often fails or takes around twenty minutes, and GPS satellites are hard to find indoors, so they go outside.8
• Drifts or tilts instead of hoveringOwners report it tilts to one side or drifts in one direction on takeoff, and sometimes circles or wanders instead of holding one spot.7
• Camera and video problemsOwners report poor video quality, shaky footage with no stabilizer, stuttering, and a camera that will not start with a memory card.6
• Crashes during flight attemptsOwners say the controls feel very sensitive, and some crashed within seconds of takeoff, into walls or ponds, or after the drone ignored commands.6
• GPS or phone connections often failOwners say GPS will not engage, and the app or controller may fail to pair; one fixed it by pairing devices in the right order.5
• Flies out of control after takeoffOwners say it takes off uncontrollably after the props start, going where it wants, and spins in circles or ignores commands once airborne.4
• Battery runs out too quicklyOwners say one battery gives about 10 to 13 minutes, and wind cuts that down, so flights often feel too short.4
• Charging or power failuresOwners report batteries that stop charging after a few flights, or a charger that shows charging but the unit will not switch on.4
• Controller holder does not fit phonesOwners say the phone bracket does not fit larger phones, which can pop off during flight; one owner used a hair tie instead.3
• Support is slow or unresponsiveOwners say a replacement charger can take almost two months, and customer service is hard to reach or gives run-around email replies.3
