  • Altitude hold and headless mode for easy learning

  • Brushed motors wear faster
  • No GPS or return-to-home

Verdict

The Holy Stone HS210T is a two-in-1 mini drone for children that can drive on the ground as well as fly. Its frame changes between four postures, so kids can roll it across the floor in land mode and then take off when they are ready. This variety keeps play interesting for longer than a standard toy quadcopter. Flights last around eight minutes per battery, and at 42.4 g it is light enough to bounce off walls without harm. Altitude hold and headless mode make the flying part easy to learn, and there is no camera or app to set up. Brushed motors keep the cost low, though they wear faster than brushless ones, and the drone is meant for indoor use. With thousands of reviews, it is a popular and playful gift for younger children.
