Design and features

The Holy Stone HS360E drone is the latest iteration of the HS360 line of hobbyist drones from Holy Stone. Like most hobbyist-level drones, it sports four foldable arms that hold the small electric motors with dual propellers per motor.

The drone itself has a mostly plastic exterior and is very lightweight. With the battery installed, the HS360E comes in just under the 250g limit for a hobbyist-level device that does not require registration in most countries. I am in the US, and the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) only requires registration of drones that are 250g and heavier.

The HS360E battery is a small plastic brick that is charged with the provided USB-C charging cable and charging cradle. The charging cable is plugged into the cradle, and the battery sits in the cradle during charging. From empty to full, the battery takes about 3 hours to charge. Once charged, the battery will give about 30 minutes of flying time. With the time it takes to charge and the limited flying time, it is advisable to have at least one extra battery (sold separately). Flying time is determined by several factors, including acrobatics, wind speed, takeoffs and landings, and picture taking or video recording. These factors are common to all drones, not just the HS360E.

The HS360E’s camera, the most important feature of the drone, in my opinion, has a 4K CMOS sensor with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). The onboard camera circuitry does its best to smooth out any vibrations caused by flying or air turbulence. This drone, with its EIS and limited gimbal, does fairly good at controlling picture blurriness and video shakiness. Some more expensive drones have a 3-axis gimbal, which uses sensors and motors to keep the camera level and video recording smooth. The HS360E does not have such a gimbal. The job of minimizing drone vibrations from getting to the camera is given to four rubber “shocks” at the camera’s mounting points.

The HS360E package comes with eight propellers already mounted on the four motors (two each), and it comes with four extra propellers for replacing any broken ones, which will happen sometime. They are easily replaced with a single screw and an included screwdriver.

The HS360E has two lights on the drone, so you can see the drone while flying at night and see a visual indication of the drone’s battery level.

The drone is controlled by the combination of a transmitter (or controller) and a mobile device running the HS Fly app. The drone can be flown without a mobile device, but you would not be able to have a live visual of the drone’s camera and see what it sees. Also, with the mobile device running the HS Fly app, you can change settings on the drone and perform pre-programmed flight maneuvers. It makes the flying experience all the more enjoyable. The controller is connected to the mobile device with one of the three short cables provided. They allow a standard USB-C, Micro USB-A, or Apple Lightning connection. That should cover almost 99% of mobile devices out there.

The controller is charged, as is the battery, with a USB-C cable. From empty to full, it takes about 2 hours to charge the controller. And a full battery will give about one and a half hours of usage.

The controller does have a screen that provides a wealth of information before, during, and after flights. Important info shown on the controller’s screen includes: WiFi Signal, Controller and Drone Battery levels, GPS and Transmission Signal Strengths, Flight Speed, Drone’s Lateral Distance and Altitude from the take off location, and the Horizontal and Vertical speeds. That’s a lot of info to take in while trying to avoid crashing into a tree.

The HS360E controller has quite a few buttons and two joysticks. There are six buttons on the front of the controller are for powering the controller on and off, for take off/landings, changing the drone’s flying speeds (fast, normal, and slow), commanding the drone to Return To Home (RTH), and two buttons for taking pictures and starting/stopping videos.

Also on the front of the controller are two joysticks. The left joystick controls the drone’s ascent and descent, as well as the left and right rotation of the drone. The right joystick controls the drone’s forward and backward movement, as well as moving to the left and right. These flight controls can be combined to produce some fairly acrobatic maneuvers. For instance, pushing the left stick forward and the right stick to the right will raise the drone as it flies to the right. Another example is to push the left stick up and to the right, while pushing the right stick forward. This will make the HS360E fly upward, in a right-handed spiral formation.

The two joy stick stalks (or thumb rockers) can be removed and stored on the controller’s bottom edge, under the display screen. This is to protect them when the controller is in the carrying case.

There are two jog wheels on the top edge of the controller that are for camera zooming and camera tilting. The zoom function is a digital zoom and not mechanical, so it does affect image quality. The higher the zoom, the worse the picture/video looks.

The jog wheel for camera tilting moves the camera in increments from facing the horizon to pointing straight down.

Improvements to the HS360S = HS360E

The HS360E is a step up from its predecessor, the HS360S, which was a step up from its predecessor, the HS360. Here is a comparison table of the differences between the HS360S and HS360E drones.

Feature	HS360S	HS360E
Size (folded)	141 x 94 x 56 mm	140 x 90 x 56 mm
Drone Battery	1500 mAh @ 7.4V	2000 mAh @ 7.4V (more flight time)
Max Flight Time	20 minutes	30 minutes
Charging	5V / 2A @ <= 5W	5V / 3A @ <= 10 W (faster charging)
Controller Battery	1500 mAh @ 7.4V	1100 mAh @ 7.4V (less?)
Controller Charging Time	2 hours	1 hour 50 minutes
Controller Usage Time	2 hours	2.5 hours
Max Photo Resolution	3840×2160 (on SD card) 3840×2160 (on mobile device)	4000×3000 (on SD card) 3840×2160 (on mobile device)
Max Video Resolution	3840×2160 @ 20 fps (on SD card) 1280×720 @ 20 fps (on mobile device)	3840×2160 @ 30 fps (on SD card) 1280×720 @ 30 fps (on mobile device)
SD Card (max size)	128 GB	256 GB (doubled)
Max Transmission Range	10,000 ft (3,048 m)	20,000 ft (6,096 m) (doubled)

As you can see, the HS360E is in incremental revision, not a redesign at all. Several performance features have been tweaked, but not drastically.

Setup

Getting the HS360E ready for flight was very easy. Just unbox and unwrap everything. Charge the drone battery and controller. Download the HS Fly app to your mobile device (iOS or Android). Connect the mobile device to the controller, put the battery into the drone, turn everything on, and fly! Well, almost.

The order of operations on powering everything up is paramount. Doing it out of sequence may result in the HS Fly app not connecting to the controller and thus not being able to see through the drone camera. So the sequence that always worked for me was: 1) Power on the drone, 2) power on the controller, and then 3) After the controller connects to the HS360E, which takes about 30 seconds, fire up the HS Fly app on the mobile device.

The next step was to insert and format the SD card (not included) to store the pictures the drone takes and the videos that are recorded. The HS360E can format the SD card for you, or you can format it with a computer. I have both a Mac (my primary computer) and an old PC laptop. I had a spare 128 GB SD card, so I used that one. If I formatted this 128 GB SD card on the PC or the drone, my Mac would not read it. I tried SD cards that were 16, 32, 64, and 128 GB in size, and the only one that worked was the 32 GB card. I’m not sure why, but that’s what happened.

The drone also stores pictures and videos on the mobile device, albeit at a lower resolution. Using the SD card on the drone is needed to capture images and videos at the advertised, higher resolutions.

Before the first flight, the app has a training mode. I recommend going through this. Then it will ask to calibrate the compass and gyroscope on the drone. You spin the drone horizontally, and then vertically, and then set it down on a flat surface. This process takes about 10 seconds.

Now the HS360E is ready to fly!

Performance

The HS360E drone is so much fun to fly. I have always wanted to get a drone and fly it around where I live. There is a large park nearby that is on a huge lake. The lake is home to an estimated 13,000 alligators. Yes, 13 THOUSAND! Anytime you go to the lake, you will see several, if not many, gators on the shore or in the water. As soon as I received the HS360E (and the HS360S to compare it to), I knew exactly how I wanted to use it. Gator spotting! Here are a few pictures of the many, many I took of the local wildlife, and a couple of other notable shots.

Flying the HS360E was so much easier than I thought it would be. I’ve reviewed a remote control boat and car for The Gadgeteer, and flying the drone was just about as easy. The major difference is that the drone can go up and down, as well as left and right. But honestly, this was easier for me to learn, and I think I did pretty well with.

Using the HS Fly App is the only way to fly this drone. It adds so much functionality to the HS360E (or any Holy Stone drone). Being able to see the drone’s “view” makes flying easier and more fun. Also, the preprogrammed flight patterns are a lot of fun to use. I will admit that after getting more and more experience flying the drone, I did not use these preprogrammed flying patterns anymore. I simply used the joysticks to fly. I can see where some of these flight patterns would be fun to use on vacation while exploring or sightseeing. Just make sure local laws allow drone usage.

One improvement that I hope Holy Stone makes is to the camera angle jog wheel. When I wanted to adjust the camera angle to point more downward, using the jog wheel would move the camera too much with each use. Sometimes I’d be hovering over something and want to point the camera at it, and the camera would jump past the subject (mostly alligators so far for me), and I’d have to then turn the wheel back and try it again. After a while, I did get the hang of just very lightly turning the wheel to move the camera in smaller increments. Maybe a firmware update to the controller would make this easier and more precise in the future.

Similarly, to move the drone either left and right, or forward and backwards, the joysticks are very sensitive. To move slightly in any direction, you have to be very light on joystick movements. This is difficult because the joysticks move to the extremes very easily. Trying to get the joysticks to register a slight movement was more difficult than it should’ve been. However, like the jog wheel’s sensitivity, having a light touch with the joysticks was something I mastered after more and more time with the HS360E.

The HS360E uses GPS signals to know its place in the world. One very useful feature of the HS360E is its “Return to Home” (RTH) function. Anytime during flying, or when the battery gets too low to continue flying, the drone can be commanded to come back to you. Pressing the RTH button on the controller or tapping the RTH icon in the HS Fly app will make the drone ascend to a pre-selected height, fly autonomously to the GPS location from where it originally took off, and then land, all on its own. The RTH function is not perfect, and it will miss the exact take-off location by a few feet in any direction, but it is accurate enough. Once in a while, the drone will miss the landing pad I use (not included) completely, catch the grass, and flip.

HS360E vs. HS360S

Having both the predecessor, the HS360S, and the newer model to compare has made me appreciate the improvements that Holy Stone has made to produce the HS360E. Flying the HS360E is more responsive and smoother than the older model. Also, the HS360E seems to hold its own better in windy conditions. It’s more stable, which makes any video capturing less jerky and off-kilter.

The camera on the HS360E is much better than the one on the HS360S. Is it great? Not really. Is it comparable to other, more expensive drones? No. What it is is a big step in the right direction from the HS360S’s camera. The two drones have different sensors, and I’m sure different image processing onboard. For a budget-friendly drone package, it’s more than adequate. I think anyone new to being a drone pilot will be more than satisfied.

Final thoughts

All in all, the Holy Stone HS360E is a great beginner-friendly drone. I had, and will continue to have, a lot of fun with this little drone. It’s a very good incremental improvement of the predecessor, the HS360S. The camera on this drone is very nice and produces great images and videos. If you are in the market for an inexpensive yet very capable drone, the HS360E is a worthy candidate to consider.

What I like about The Holy Stone HS360E Drone

• The price is great for newbies and budget-conscious buyers
