I am not new to drones. I have been flying for almost two years. I have 14 drones in my collection so I feel confident that I can leave a good review based on experience. When I had learned that several friends of mine had purchased the HS600D, and enjoyed it, I decided to pull the trigger and buy one too. I am so glad I did!First off. This drone is HEAVY. It weighs in at 603g compared to the 249g’s of my Autel and Potensic. But don’t think that means it’s sluggish. What it means is that not only does it handle better but it can also withstand stronger breezes. While the 249g drones can handle a beaufort rating up to 5, I am confident in saying the 600D could handle a beaufort rating of 6. Though it’s always best to fly any drone in little to no wind for longer battery life and better performance.NOTE: The FAA rules state that you can fly a drone of any weight providing that you are flying recreationally only. All you need is a TRUST certificate which is very easy to obtain online. DO keep in mind that if you plan to make money with your drone you WILL need a Part 107. More information about this can be found on the FAA website.PROS:#1 This is a fixed prop drone as opposed to a foldable prop commonly found on other drones. In my honest opinion this creates a more stable and stronger lift.#2 The information such as GPS, battery life and other important readouts while flying is on a separate screen on the controller (as well as on the app screen on your phone). I like this because it’s large and easy to read rather than looking up in the corners of the app on your phone for those tiny icons.#3 The controller is well balanced in your hands and when you add your phone it is still well balance in your hands.#4 This drone has built in lights for low light or night flying. I like this because all my other drones I have had to buy lights for.#5 The color is easy to see in the air. This is a boom for me because I only have one eye. My white drones have to have strobes on them for me to see them any time they are in the air.#6 While it is always a smart idea to calibrate your GPS on your drone any time you fly it, this drone REQUIRES you to before it will let you fly. Calibrating any drone only takes a few seconds and it GREATLY reduces, or completely eliminates, fly aways from happening.#7 The zoom for the gimbal is a wheel on the controller rather than having to touch the phone screen to zoon in as is done with the Potensic and Autel drones.CONS:#1 There is a countdown to the drone taking a photo. It is not instant like the other drones. But that is a minor detail as it’s only about 3 seconds.#2 I did notice a slight delay in videos through the gimbal but again a very minor detail.TIP: Power up the drone and the controller BEFORE opening the app on your phone. Otherwise it will not recognize the app.To wrap it up. If you want a drone that performs like a $1500 to $2000 drone. You cannot go wrong with the HS600D. It is an investment I did not regret doing.

I am returning this piece of crap drone.
This drone is a piece of crap. After taking the time to watch all the YouTube videos pertaining to this drone, practicing with the controller to develope muscle memory on all the controls/functions, I started to the drone and conducted the compass calibrations. I had good GPS signal so I took it off the ground to an altitude of about 8 feet to hover, but it keep drifting to the right, I was able to contril it back to “center,” but it keep drifting. I moved it up to about 12 feet and it automatically starting moving eratically in circles. I tried to gain control hoping to at least get more altitude, but none of the controls worked. Thankfully it did not hit anything and crashed into a bush. I then took into a more open field away from buildings and it did the exact same thing. I am a Part 107 pilot with about 30 hours of drone experience and this is my 3rd drone.
