 Hello everyone, this is the Holystone HS340. This is another little ditty micro type quad It comes with these blade protectors, but to be honest with you You've got to put them on yourself if you want to and they got this a little bit here, you know the two pins there We've got this light right And I'm going to take my phone and put them on there just so you can see what it's like I know you can see it on there, but Just so you can see what it's like on here. Let me just take this off because that's not how I play it now This works. It's a little bit noisier than the other the 170 which is my favorite out of the two Because the first of all the HD video with this I'll put this little bit of video up Just one I'm telling you this As you can see with this bit of flying around This isn't It's not very good. You're going to go very high you'd be able to see just in front of you and that's no good so Imagine if you're this tall. Yes, this is you standing on the ground here In order you couldn't get a shot of you like this Because it said you're going to see the floor down here where you are you're gonna have to be up here like this at this angle Um, I don't know if you can really see the angle that the camera is on but it's very much. It's worse than the Hobson I'd only say it's worse than the Hobson at least the Hobson near 10 feet off the ground You can look and you can still see a bit in front of you Uh, and of course, you know, if you start moving forward this gets even lower So if you were just to sit here at this angle Looking at this box and you're up here and the box is down there and you just keep it still Okay, fair enough. You might be able to take a picture of that Um, but if you're just trying to fly around the floor and use it for fpv or anything like that You know, I absolutely absolutely forget to have to go in there and make an adjustment to that I thought about it. I thought if I go into it, which we can actually do Um, it's just while I'm talking. Let's start taking this thing apart Uh, let me just tell you what you get with it. You got a the controller Don't like these compared to the ones with the, um Sticks I much prefer the sticks a lot more control Uh, this also has center sprung both sides. You can't do anything about it. They're not going to be, um Um, systems like in the try and that's where you can set it up. So you can have the spring there or not, you know It's going to be a single unit in there and it's yeah, you can have some no choice on how this works I did think about using it like this and I did try but my fingers kept slipping off here So that's no good. No some that sticks there. That's not a But it wouldn't normally go as far as that with this thing on the top You can only go to the edge of that then so it wouldn't get stuck Um A couple of nice features on this if you Long I think this one is there. So if you do a quick Press and then do a direction it will flip over to whatever direction it is And forwards do that. So one quick and do this In whatever direction you want it to flip If you hold it down, there's a thing called circle So wherever it's pointed into it will actually just start going down in the circle now. I'm sorry that um I haven't actually got any video about because I tried doing a little bit today And but it was quite windy about and you can't really fly these outside too much And I want to see what it actually does before I try it inside Maybe I could give it a go I don't know We'll see maybe I'll put a bit on the end of the video feel brave enough But uh, yeah, so you get that you get the auto Auto take off on this one it doesn't actually it just arms the props So you have them spinning there and then you use the throttle obviously to take off to to um Ascend What I don't like about this is because this is such a small movement you've got quite a lot of On your throttle not so bad because it does try and hold it steady when you let go it sort of sits relatively where it's where you leave it Of course, if there's any side winds or anything it's going to blow around. There's no gps lock on it But on your you've only got one speed you can pull it all the way over and it's exactly the same speed as if you do a little tiny bit Which can be you know, okay But not really if you're just trying to hold it somewhere maybe move But 38 pounds 38 dollars it pretty much equates to the same thing So yeah about 38 dollars 38 pounds amazon again I thought I'd get it just to see what the camera is going to be like I don't expect a lot out of it for that amount of money. So This whatever i'm saying, you know the camera angles and all this sort of thing and it's a little bit noisy on the other one It's 38 dollars It's got a camera in it it connects via wi-fi now the wi-fi in the app does work and you can actually um You can actually use the app look at this app. So first of all, you're going to make sure that you got your wi-fi on I've got my wi-fi on there it will then do a The connect in the manual you've got a bit some pieces it do connect you just see where it gets the holy stone In the wi-fi now connects automatically. You've got to go and download this hs fpv The app off the google app store Pop it in because you've already got your wi-fi connected and it's paired up between the quad and the controller We can just hit play And there you go now Because I know there's going to be some sharp sharp eyes out there. I'm just going to put you out your misery now Yes, I've adjusted the camera angle. So now yes, I can actually see and print at the craft while I'm flying it And as you can see now you can see the bottom of this box here because the camera is You know pretty much equal with it now You also get to see there the lag so if you are Going fpv. I want to make just back that out a bit. I'm going to try and get my hands to coordinate Uh, I'll even move that forward there again. Now if I turn right turn left And while you're flying around you see you're going to be doing a lot of this maybe and so Clouncing and correcting can be a bit of a problem with too much lag So just putting that out there. So, you know Uh, let's have a quick look at the app itself. So Top left you can see there's just the back and that will take you back to the front screen The next one's the photo And of course if you press it to take a photo You can click to record for your movie video this one. I'm just going to hit because I don't know what it does I'll let that actually view your photos Um, you've got this power button which enables you to have The controllers on here, but I don't like that because it's too easy for you to get your hands all over the place That's just my opinion. Some people are going to be into this and that's fair enough With that you get to see you get to change the speed ratio From here you can do it all on the controller I'm not quite sure what this one two thing is here possibly that's meant to do the circle I thought that was more of the sit sign for the circle That I think is the auto Rotate possibly all right. That's the rotate which Which thing is on now that's quite interesting actually because if you notice there If I do that it pops back up again, but if I do which one was it this one that one All right, that just doesn't do anything there. There's everything here. Maybe that's the headless mode them possibly There you've got your VR so you can put in two if you wish that's what you're into I don't have the things if I add them I'd probably do that could be the headless mode I could lock this I'm quite sure that's for possibly headless because it's got all directions there, but I don't know You don't have to play around with but I don't like flying it like this So you're not really going to get much opportunity. I don't feel I've got the control over it You know you sort of you can't tell where your thumb is I like to know the position by feel where my thumb is on the joystick This doesn't give me but I don't get enough feedback. So I don't like that one Oh my let's have a look. So put this back on and I'm sorry, but I miss these Now from what I can see this is going to be the takeoff and land All right, this is uh You know you had this the motors aren't going Sure why that wouldn't actually go up but and then you got this gesture thing So you can uh slide start tip Please make a hands gesture with your right hands for recording a video and a piece gesture For taking a photo within three meters under a light filled circumstance We're not going to try to do that because we're not very light filled circumstance This one I thought was interesting He got this so with this you draw on here. Let's say you go And then make it come back. Maybe I'm only going to get this fly thing through this Now I've not tried any of that but that does look like it could be fun And then you got voice command start and then forward backward left right And yes, I don't think I'd want to do that one, but there's the option for voice command If you're right into flying from here So I don't know if we did or didn't press Okay, that's the rotate the screen. You don't want to do that while you're flying Especially if you're just fpv in it So that's a good one to bring that one in. I thought this might be screen rotation But that takes away this one two thing. Let's do it. We do it like that Well, I'm trying to see if that rotates Yeah, so I don't actually know Then that This should just control in the throttle and then this is you can just control what it does by drawing on here Well, we might have to go and try that and yeah Interesting. So there's that bit as well That's why I just I will just use it as this but there you can see So yeah, a bit of an idea look at the at the lag situation if I once again just do this Turn to the left And then turn to the right and you might be able to Guess that one for yourself, right. So that's that part Uh, I'll show you the footage that you get off the app And see you can see what that's like on a little bit of footage there You know, it speaks for itself really again, I'm going to say that it's 38 Dollars for the whole thing for just again flying around in small spaces like this Not as much control. I'd say again unless you've got real doing fingers is what you're going to get with this You get some spare screws There's a whole bunch screws on the net too. Oh my god two four six eight ten twelve Uh 14 16 we've got 16 screws underneath to get up up and four on top. That's 20 screws in total to undo I have to find a screwdriver It's not the one that comes with it But it would do So, uh, what can we do first? Well, that's pretty good then. So let me just do that again. Does that work every time? Okay, so that turns that off And if you do it again You can also do this and this will just drop it out the sky And that's when it's up in the air because if you try just pressing that button when it was actually Flying it would just start bringing it down to the ground I can't really show you circle and flipping here And you've got three speed settings. You've got The first one that we're in and then two and three. I think you can those two Those three back to one again You can take a photo if you do a short press It takes a photo and if you do a long press It runs the video and you get to see that. I'm really sorry. I don't have the ability to show you That I'll try and figure something out and I'll put it on the end of the camera But you get to see in the app where um You can see you know take a photo you got you got the little on the touch screen Now you put in there now this is all well and good for a I don't know what size I've got a samsung s21 And that seems quite big and it's quite like this I think if I was going to do any fpv work with this type of thing, I'd I'd have my tripod with my monitor on there Meaning the tripod with the clamp and I could put my phone in as the monitor because it works across wi-fi So I can't use my analog receivers to pick this up because it's using wi-fi But I have noticed when I I took it downstairs. I left it up here on record and I took it downstairs And went down there. I had a perfect picture But this is one of the things like these as well There's quite a bit of lag. I mean we're talking Quarter to a half second lag In between you doing this and then it showing you that on the screen Now that for anybody trying to do fpv or anything Even without considering the camera that the camera position issues If we're fpv, all I'm going to see is this here. I wouldn't be able to see what's in front of me All I'm going to be able to see is what's down here And to me that yeah, it's just going to be white and that's no good All right, that's just no good and even higher. It's still going to be the same thing um Because that is you know that is really quite quite quite looking down Like I said down on the ground you're going to be up here to be able to see that and that's no good If you're down here, so you're going to get his grass so you're not going to be able to see anything So, you know that is a bit of a downside with it
