7/2022 update: Finally bought another hs110d since I now had spare parts. Pretty happy with it- I've learned to not fly in medium to strong winds and if the wind gets too much, remember to increase the speed which helps a lot (but gets trickier to control). I only use headless mode because when the drone gets far away you can't see the lights to know which way it's facing. Camera works but the resolution is poor despite the 1080p claim. It's okay for remembering where you were or to get a view up over the trees but when you blow up the pic on the PC, low resolution becomes very apparent. By the way, the HSS2 FPV App must be running and phone connected to drone's Wifi for pics to download to your phone. You can still take pics/videos without the app running but then have to put an SD card in the drone to later offload to PC. Either way the low pic quality looks the same to me. I tried controlling the drone from the App but couldn't get it to fly (but once got it to start motors), but why bother - the remote is very capable and simple. The app then, is relegated to seeing what the camera is sees and checking the battery. The drone is a great flyer (except when windy) but I'm lowering to 4 stars because of disappointing camera resolution and a complicated and finicky App.9/2021 update: Okay, I enjoyed the drone for a good 5 months, before I lost it: Took it out to a big field on a moderately windy day, so I intended to keep it low to the ground. I flew in "headless" mode to eliminate any errors with forward/backward direction. Flew for a few minutes close and low, no problem. But then I mistakenly decided to bring it up high overhead. Next I knew it was drifting away in stronger wind currents and despite raising to full speed and pulling back the control, by now it was some 300 ft away and heading towards a swamp (which I had no idea was there). I tried to land it down but it kept sailing finally into the swamp, about 400 ft from me. In hindsight I should have remembered the "Emergency Stop" to drop it right then, but I think I lost communication prior. I contacted Holy Stone and they do not sell just the drone new or refurbished but did offer me a discount for a new set on Amazon.My advice (again)- DO NOT fly this in anything but light wind, and even then make sure you are in a huge field with no trees (or swamps), and be prepared to use the emergency kill switch.5/3/21 Update: After owning a cheaper no-name drone with the small wired battery packs that didn't last more that 3 or 4 minutes, and having to replace cheap motors, this is a welcomed step up. I've had it a month now and did view a few pics off the SD card (which they don't include)- they were decent quality and in focus but this is no 20 megapixel camera so don't expect great resolution (file size of the pics is less than 1 MB compared to 2 to 4 MB from my phone's camera). Video looked like 1080p quality, fair brightness and color and there was no shakiness (only my jerky trying to center the drone), (by the way, it doesn't record audio).I downloaded the smartphone App mainly for the FPV (first person view) while flying to get better pics. Surprisingly, when using the app (WiFi connected to the drone), you don't need an SD card in the drone- pics will be stored in a folder (HSS2 FPV) on your phone. If you have the SD card installed, pics and videos will be stored there as well. Also handy on the App is the drone's battery indicator (useful when the drone is too far away to see its lights flashing red for low battery). I understand you can fly the drone from the App and use gestures to control it, but I don't see a need for it.I think the battery pack lasted around 10 minutes as advertised. Plug in battery packs were a main selling point as I hated the clunky batt replacement on my last drone, but note that charging can only take place on the drone (so you can't charge the second battery while you're out flying- unless you get a charging base and I think HS sells one with extra batteries). The manual is pretty good, not broken English but they don't get into how to use the App, only how to install (giving a handy QR code) and connect phone to drone.I think Headless Mode is a great feature, especially for beginners, which works as expected. Very handy when the drone is high and far away and you can't tell which direction it is pointing. In this case turn on headless and the drone will come back regardless of which direction it's pointing (assuming the drone is in front of you and you haven't moved your position).I've got two minor gripes: One is weak performance in wind. More than about 5 mph and this thing can get lost in a hurry (I lost control and it hit a house some 100 yards away; another time I had to use emergency stop and it dropped hard on a roof- no damage except for lost prop guards). My advice in wind is don't do it, but if you do, keep it low to the ground because wind currents can be unpredictable higher up, and you might try upping the speed to compensate (which I forgot to try). AND, fly it in a big grassy field with no trees or ponds so you will have time to try and land it if it loses control.Two, the propeller guards fall off, probably because not all the pegs snap in tight. Already lost a few and wasted time looking for them when it crash landed in wind. My advice, unless you plan on putting it back in the box use super glue, and while you're at it, glue the landing rails because they can come loose when holding the drone by them, and maybe put a dab on the camera as that's popped off too.Minor gripes aside, its well worth the $60 or $70, at least compared to my last drone experience. Motors are quiet and strong, lights on the bottom are helpful and is responsive to control (without wind). And others have said that Holy Stone stands behind their products as evidenced by providing a real phone number, so that was a factor in my purchase. Indeed, I contacted HS service via email and they politely agreed to send out replacement prop guards under warranty.
