What we like about Holy Stone HS210P

  • 1080p camera with live view on a phone
  • Altitude hold keeps the height steady
  • Headless mode makes steering easy for beginners
  • Tiny and light, so bumps indoors are harmless
  • Low price for a camera drone

What we don't like about Holy Stone HS210P

  • Only about five minutes of flight per battery
  • No GPS or return-to-home
  • Brushed motors wear faster
  • Unsuitable for outdoor use in wind

Verdict

The Holy Stone HS210P is a tiny camera drone aimed at children and complete beginners who want to see the view from the air on a phone. Its 1080p camera streams live video over Wi-Fi to the companion app, so young pilots can watch where they fly and grab quick clips around the house or garden. Altitude hold keeps the drone at a steady height, and headless mode means it responds the same way no matter which direction it faces, which removes the hardest part of learning. Flights are short at about five minutes per battery, and the brushed motors and very low weight make it suited to indoor or calm-day use only. There is no GPS, so it cannot return home on its own. As an inexpensive first drone with a camera, it does the basics well.
