In our Holy Stone HS900 review, we thought it was Holy Stone's best drone to date, in fact, we still think it is one of the best beginner drones on the market. It was only released in May this year and marked a significant improvement in drone performance and camera image quality to previous models, most notably the Holy Stone HS360S.

The image quality is impressive, and with stabilized video up to 4K, it will likely satisfy the needs of both beginners and intermediate pilots, especially in brighter weather conditions. It features a Sony 1/2.3-inch 48MP CMOS sensor with a fixed-focus f/2.6 lens that gives a 100-degree field of view. We should mention that RAW photo shooting is not available at the time of writing; this feature will be included in a future firmware update.

Reviews consensus: This is a relatively new product, so there aren't thousands of reviews, although the 4.1/5 stars on Amazon is in line with the four stars that we gave it in our review. Users are happy with the value for money, the ease of use and the image quality — all things we agree with.
