Holy Stone Drone App: A Complete Walk Through Of App Features

As you launch the Holy Stone Drone app, you’ll notice a multitude of icons and options. “Follow Me” is one of the features. This means the drone can track you and film you as you move. It’s as if you have your own personal camera crew!

Another useful option is the “Return to Home” button. You can use this option to make the drone return to you if you ever lose sight of it or it gets too far away. It’s quite useful if you’re concerned about losing your drone.

There are also options for “Auto-Take Off” and “Auto Landing.” This means you won’t have to manually launch or land the drone – the software will do it for you! It’s quite simple and saves you time.

The Holy Stone Drone also allows you to take photos and videos. You can even use it to record sound! Simply tap the camera or video icons in the app to begin recording your favorite moments.

The application also displays the drone’s and remote controller’s battery levels. That way, you’ll know when to recharge the devices. Finally, you can toggle between Beginner Mode and Advanced Mode.

Beginner Mode is ideal for those who are new to flying drones. It restricts the drone’s range and altitude, so you don’t have to worry about it flying too high or too far away.

But don’t worry, you can switch off Beginner Mode once you’ve become used to flying. So there you have it – the Holy Stone Drone is capable of a wide range of tasks!

This app has something for everyone, whether you’re a novice or an expert. Have a great time flying your drone!
