Review on 🚁 Holy Stone Wide Angle Altitude Quadcopter+ by Josh Andrews

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great flyer - some privacy issues

I have two other drones - a small tiny drone and a large drone, this one is right in the middle. Compared to the other two drones, this one flies just as well and basically has the same features (altitude hold, headless mode, emergency stop, 3D flips). However, my big drone is too big to fly around the house and my small drone is too small to have fun. It has just enough gravity to keep you excited, but not so much that you worry about the rotors destroying your house. Overall I have no complaints and the remote has some nice features that I haven't seen from other models/manufacturers. However, one thing really worries me. The phone app required to run the camera is requesting too many permissions (Android app name: HSS2 FPV). It needs access to device and app history, location, photos/media/files, Wi-Fi connection information, Bluetooth connection information, device ID and call information. Too much for me so I won't install the app - it sucks I can't use the camera but I don't really use the drone for that. However, be aware if you want to use the camera. Looking back, I didn't praise the remote too much. It really is a cut above the other two I have. A solid improvement over other older models. The plug and play battery is also a big improvement over other models. It is much easier to change and looks more elegant.

Pros
  • Great design
