Lack of stabilization = I don't care if you are 16k, it doesn't matter.

Also no matter how many pixels, if they aren't bragging about the phone sensor or lens than it'll look like it came from an old flip phone.

In regards to video, this is absolutely true. However, he asked about photos. Photos can be fine without stabilization, provided there's adequate light to support a high enough shutter speed to compensate for the movement. Outside during the day might be fine, assuming the sensor isn't awful.

Had the HS720, and the camera was pretty bad. Flew well though, if it's any consolation.

Got the HS700D. Fine drone, decent quality but still not up to par to an older Yuneec Breeze with EIS as far as video/pic quality. Love HS b/c they have good customer service and they show me they care but wish they would at least have EIS or a min of 2-axis gimbal

Would recommend the HS510 instead around this price after coupons etc. Very usable photos despite lack of real stabilization.

Hoping Holy Stone will come out with a copy of the MJX Bugs 20 next. EIS on that looks pretty impressive.

What are you expecting? It's a sub $150 GPS enabled drone made in china. are you expecting the same quality you would get out of a DJI P4P?

BTW DJI is also from china :p

Seems not bad for eis. Parrot bebop 2 blows it away for eis though and that's like 4 years old. Surprised no one has ever caught up with that.

Where the heck do you use drone? It appears as though you can't fly anywhere anymore!

The point is that the drone is a piece of shit regardless where this made by.
Even if this drone is made by China, It doesn't matter if it's good.
