I wanted to start flying a drone so I bought my own Christmas present. I watched a bunch of Youtubes and decide on a Holy Stone HS900. I have had it for a week and I still haven’t had it out yet. It has been wet and cold and I’m a little nervous but I’m thinking this weekend after I complete the wife’s chores.

I saw some great deals on Amazon for variants of the HS900 during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Even now you can get one of them for $299 with the $100 off coupon. My only reservation would be the price of the batteries which are $99 for a 7.7V 2250mAh battery. Even DJI charges only $65 for a standard mini 3 or mini 4 battery. I am pretty sure there will be a less expensive 3rd party solution for this sometime in the future.

I hope that it works out well for you.

I have a Holy Stone HS900 besides my DJI mini 3. Good little drone.
