Product Information

When it comes to entry-level drones, one of the most popular 4K drones right now is the Holy Stone HS720E.

The HolyStone HS720E won’t compete with the likes of established drone brands like DJI and Parrot, but that’s kind of the point. Knowing your drone’s condition before flying is key to maintaining an acceptable level of safety when flying. There is also a follow me option which tracks your phone GPS so can follow you behind obstacles like trees comfortably. Embrace the thrill of the skies as the HS720E glides with unwavering stability, thanks to its cutting-edge EIS technology and the whisper-quiet performance of its brushless motors. As for the 4K videos, please tap the “download” icon on each video in the SD card album to load them into your cellphone album.The 4K 30fps video is around 55mbps which means that artefacts in general aren’t too much of an issue and the image is sharp. Capture Life's Bright Moments Featuring an Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) system and the 4K UHD camera, the HS720E can shoot clear and vivid photos and videos. With over 20 years of expertise as a tech journalist, Adam brings a wealth of knowledge across a vast number of product categories, including timelapse cameras, home security cameras, NVR cameras, photography books, webcams, 3D printers and 3D scanners, borescopes, radar detectors… and, above all, drones.

It also charges the batteries one at a time, and considering it takes around 5-6 hours to charge one battery, you’re looking at a rather long 10-12 hour wait between flights. For a starter drone I can highly recommend, I am looking forward to more happy flights with my Holystone HS720E.The latter can be particularly hard to reach when a phone is mounted, which can make mid-flight camera adjustments finicky – all the more important when you consider the lack of automated camera movements. Our resident Apple expert, Lewis covers everything from iPhone to AirPods, plus a range of smartphones, tablets, laptops and gaming hardware.

The HS720 has a more compact foldable design but I actually prefer the more robust make of the newer HS720e, less folding parts equals less potential to break. There is also a standard photo mode for stills, captured at 3840 x 2160, though the fixed focus of the drone’s camera means it’s better suited to vista shots rather than close-up stills.

We found it hard to be critical of the Holy Stone drone, but need to be realistic and remind ourselves that this isn’t a high-end drone. This article aims to debunk misconceptions by clearly identifying the key differences between the HS720 and HS720E drones.
