I first bought the HolyStone HS120D, but since it doesn't fold, the carrying case was a little large to pack around easily on hikes. I bought this instead and am super happy with it! It folds up really small and the carrying case is about the size of a small lunchbox. I found the setup and initialization pretty straight forward, and the manual is well written.
With the GPS enabled, this thing holds its position really well even in wind, and is easy to control with the different speed settings. The Return-to-Home feature works really well, although I did have it overshoot my position once and almost hit a tree. I haven't been able to get the Gesture Control or Object Follow to work, but I don't think those things are very useful anyway. The Orbit Mode and Custom Flight Path features are pretty easy to use and the GPS Follow Me mode seems to work, although I haven't tested it more than 30 feet or so.
I really like the feel of the remote and am glad it is rechargeable. So far I've only had to charge the remote once and it has lasted several flights. The drone itself seems to last the advertised ~20 min of flight time per battery.
I still need to format my 64GB SD card to FAT32 (which is what it requires) to see how good the pictures/videos are, but so far the videos and images it transmits to my phone are not the 4K (in-app) as advertised (see the attached pictures I took). Because there is no gimbal, it's hard to get a clear picture, but the videos seem to come out pretty good. Despite the marginal in-app quality, I would still recommend the drone, just don't expect to get professional quality images out of it.
The phone app seems to work pretty well, and I've been able to transmit live view about 300 m away (with a clear line of sight). I haven't taken the drone much farther away than that since it's pretty hard to see in the sky at that point, but the Return-to-Home works great when it's out of view.
All in all, I really like this thing and would recommend it!
