hi guys i am steve from 2-cat media and
welcome to another video well welcome to
the channel in general welcome my
friends in today's video we will take a
look at the holy stones hs175d
now if you remember in my about a week
ago i did a a video on that particular
drone just done the unboxing looked at
the specifications and also the features
as well okay kind of like what you get
out of the box if you haven't seen that
video i'll try and put a link above and
also i'll try and remember in my old age
to put a link in the description down
below as well okay so go over and watch
that we do if you haven't already go and
support the channel you know click like
if you enjoy it and also well uh
subscribe to the channel as well yeah
okay now in today's video we'll take a
look at the same drum this is like the
next stepping stone the next part okay
and we're going to talk i'm going to
show you guys basically how to connect
the drone to the transmitter how to kind
of pair that up it's quite simple
process really the next thing we're
going to do is we're going to look at
connecting the drone to your mobile
device account to the wi-fi now for that
you will need a 5g i believe a 5g
enabled mobile device so if you haven't
or you're not sure just going going to
google and just check if your mobile
device has got 5g okay okay so we're
going to show you how to connect to that
at least as far as an android phone is
concerned the next thing you want to do
then is if you want to play along so to
speak you can download the android or
the apple uh app okay now the apple app
it could be slightly different i don't
know i haven't looked at that what i
will do is put a i'll take a photograph
of the qr code and i'll put them on the
screen somewhere and down here or there
it's somewhere okay for you guys and
then you can have a look around with me
et cetera yeah uh the next thing we're
gonna do then is once the apps installed
and we're connected to the wi-fi of the
drone what we're going to do is just go
and have a look into the app itself and
also then proceed with the gyro and the
compass calibration that's kind of part
of the app and you'll see as well when
we get there so don't worry too much
about that and then you know we've had a
bit of a busy day yeah you know we've
gone through all that we're very tired
it's been a long day at work so to speak
here
so the next thing we will do then you
just go we can pause the video you can
you can go and make yourself a nice hot
drink a nice coffee tea a bit of whiskey
maybe who knows yeah
and then what you can do is just kind of
like play along if you want to and just
go for the app
and we'll have a look around the app
look at some of the features of the app
as well some of the settings etc and
just kind of see kind of how it all kind
of plays out we're not going to do any
testing today uh but that will be the
next video in about a week or two time
okay so please bear with as i've got a
lot to do with university work and work
and that so please bear with me but it
will be done i promise
so we'll do the test flight then on the
next video okay so yeah so if you are
new to the channel please consider
subscribing and be part of the exclusive
get elusive community that is to cat
media and also like the video as well
okay so without further ado let's crack
on
[Music]
okay guys so in this section i'm just
going to show you how to connect the
transmitter or the controller whatever
you want to call it whatever you call it
uh to the drone the
hs175d by holy stone okay so first of
all the first thing we're going to do is
turn this drone on okay so just make it
a little bit more clearer for you guys
here you can see you've got the power
button and just in front of that you've
got four led lights okay that's your
battery level indicator
and on the back legs here you have these
kind of like these white plastic legs as
well and these are also lights okay this
this will give you indications for low
battery on the drone to give you
indications that you need to calibrate
etc so these are quite important okay i
believe the manual does say about the
different colors etcetera but for now
we're just going to turn on the battery
uh the drone rather i'm just going to
press and hold it for about a second or
two you hear a kind of an increase in
beeps and then hopefully all four of
these will light up
there we go an increase in beeps we've
got four lights that's the battery and
here i don't know what color you can see
on there but it's like a yellowy kind of
very pale green okay so these are
flashing quite quickly they will slow
down okay
um there we go they slow down uh because
they're pretty nice and flat okay so
it's kind of i suppose in a way kind of
calibrated itself but we're not going to
take any notice of that
next we're going to connect this to that
so we're going to turn this on first so
we can lift up the center console
the center panel and this is where you
put your marble device okay and that
uncovers four things it covers these
three buttons which is your one key take
off and land on the left your headless
mode and your return to home button okay
and then most importantly at this stage
in a way
is your little led light now you can't
see anything at the moment but you will
okay so this is your power button you
just literally click it and it'll kind
of stay pressed down it will and then
you get a little beep very quick beep
and then that will start to flash okay
so let's do that together
so you heard the beep now that's
flashing quite quickly okay
that is still flashing as well so all we
need to do now is literally if i just do
it here to the side is we're going to
push this left controller stick here all
the way up you hear a beep all the way
down you hear a beep and then back up to
the center and then these then we'll
stop flashing and they'll probably go
like a red color ready for you to open
up the app and start the different
calibrations
okay so let's go up
and down and then back to the middle and
you can see here actually they haven't
gone red but they've gone green which is
even better uh i did this on in the test
and they go red sometimes but don't
worry too much about that now you can
see here the led light on here is now a
solid green as well and so are these so
that is absolutely perfect okay and just
very quickly as well i just want to show
you that once you've got this kind of
paired from the transmitter and the
drone it's all nice and paired it's just
a quick way to show you how to start up
the propellers okay to unlock the drone
and then how to stop it very very
quickly okay so we're not going to fly
the drone i just want to kind of show
you okay so what i'm going to do i'm
just going to move this up this up the
camera a little bit just so i don't
catch anything okay so what i'm going to
do here
is i'm going to just press this up once
and hopefully these are all will start
spinning okay so press it up
and there we go if anything like the
hs720e after a few seconds or so they'll
just stop so let's give it a few seconds
see if it does
it may take a little longer
we won't wait around too much if it
turns off it turns off okay that's
basically what you do and then to turn
it off okay if you press up again then
you will start to fly or if you press
that you'll take off okay
but then to stop it all you gotta do is
just oh there you go it stopped turning
its own perfect so that's about what
about was about 30 seconds give or take
just to save battery so if you're gonna
do that again
[Music]
okay sounds a bit like a motorbike run
rum okay and then just to stop it all
you gotta do is just literally hold down
and then they stop absolutely perfect
okay guys so here we are now i'm going
to show you guys how to connect the
drone's wi-fi to your mobile device now
obviously the setup process will be
somewhat a little bit different and
slightly different routes depending on
your particular mobile phone
be an apple phone or an android phone
but this is a huawei p30 pro so just
take it from this and then just adjust
any actions to suit yourself now it is
good practice to put the phone into
airplane mode as well and that will turn
off your bluetooth your wi-fi and also
your mobile data okay but don't worry we
can still turn on the wi-fi individually
so there we can click onto wi-fi
and then we're going to go
and turn that on
there we go and you can see here
straight away it's found the holy stone
fpv 5g
network okay
so if it doesn't show up straight away
don't worry okay you can always just
pull it down and refresh it as well and
sometimes it just takes a few moments
just to pop up okay if you haven't got
it on there make sure that your phone is
indeed a five gigahertz mobile phone by
going on to google and just typing in
your particular mobile make and brand
and and the model number and also asking
if it's uh for the wi-fi specifications
or the connectivity specifications and
it should come up if it's 2.4 and 2.5 or
some of the older phones or some of the
cheaper phones might just be 2.4
gigahertz okay and it's as simple as
this just click on taharis down there
and click connect
and there you will see we are now
connected so that is as easy as that so
next up we're going to take a look at
the gyro and compass calibration within
the app okay guys so now once you've
done the wi-fi and you've kept to your
five gigahertz wi-fi
um in your wi-fi settings on your phone
and that means then that the drone is
then connected to your mobile device
okay so that means you're able to see on
the camera etc and all that kind of jazz
so the next thing you want to do is do
the gyro and then the the compass
calibration okay so the first thing you
want to do is so this is the app so this
is app version 1.1.2 if your drone is
successfully connected to the network
then you will see the firmware version
of that particular drum okay in this
case mine's 1.1.8.10
now so the first thing we're going to do
is press the bottom right hand corner
preparations the button there
so we're going to press that and then
this is going to give you instructions
so it's pretty simple all you got to do
is just leave your drone for the gyro
calibration which is basically just
going to level it out to make sure it's
all leveled
okay and you're going to press the make
sure it's all nice and flat sit on a
nice flat surface as flat as you can and
then just press the blue calibrate
button and what will happen is then your
lights will flash very very quickly for
about a couple of seconds or so and then
return back to a solid state okay
and then once that's done uh the next
part then is to do your compass
calibration which is break down into two
parts as it states here so the first
thing you want to do is leave your drone
horizontal and this you just pick it up
and rotate it two free maybe sometimes
four times it's a lot easier outdoors i
was doing mine kind of indoors so don't
worry about that okay so all you gotta
do for that one is just press calibrate
okay and it'll show you there that you
need to turn it it doesn't matter which
way you turn it around okay but as long
as you turn it in a direction and keep
just keep it relatively kind of level
okay
just keep on picking it up there we go
just doing it there so now you'll see
now you need to do it uh facing upwards
okay so what you're going to do for that
one is just do it so the camera is
facing upwards and then just literally
just turn it around so the camera's
facing the sky or the ceiling and just
keep turning around two or three times
okay and i say there calibration is
complete and that is it and as you can
see there just very quickly so it's
going to press confirm
there
let's do that okay let's get rid of that
and this is the camera i do apologize
about the shaking so this is proven now
that my phone is connected for the via
the five gigahertz wi-fi and it says no
fixed mode there it's because i'm
indoors so don't worry about that so
yeah so that is absolutely
fantastic okay so the next thing we're
going to do then is i'm just going to
kind of uh put this on here actually
just so you can kind of see something
let's just let me just close this lid
and let's put that on there so just so
you got something to look at
okay so the next thing we're going to do
we're going to have literally just a
quick look around at some of the
settings and stuff like that okay so
let's not worry too much about that so
let's go back to the splash screen very
very quickly
so on here you see here you've got your
app instructions if you click on there
this is what in the app as you open it
up as you can see there before is that
tells you everything what everything is
okay where your sd card if that's active
or not if you your gps signal there your
battery level for your drone the the the
little cog in the top right hand corner
for your setup okay um your one key
return button there this is the h in the
circle with the arrow pointing down you
take off and landing with the double
arrow there just above that and then
your speed which would be fifty percent
at level 1 which is your default and
also 100 if you click press in the right
stick okay and that will change to 100
which is your speed too okay and you
access flight modes there such as your
waypoint there your surrounding flight
your tracking etc and your vr mode okay
that'd be that might be quite
interesting to try out and you can
access those by pressing the little
almost four squares there just below the
one key return
on the left hand side there now
underneath that as you can see there you
have your map so that's fine uh and then
you have your distance and height it's
got there obviously this is a demo
and then you have your attitude so it
it will work better outside but the
basic the little white arrow is the
drown and then it looks like a bit like
a torchy kind of effect like an eye a
big eyelash
and that is your controller facing the
drum and then on the right hand side
there you can click flight records we'll
have a quick look at that it will uh you
can switch your camera as well from
camera to to video recorder and then
you've got your camera button there and
then you've got your front
lens pan control you can move it up and
down and obviously your album so let's
just go back a section and then you've
got your rc instructions so that just if
you forget you can see exactly what each
button does on your transmitter okay so
let's just go back again okay then
you've got access to your album if you
want to look at your videos or your
photos okay
uh so let's just move that down and go
back
and then you can press as well contact
them as well you can contact the support
i haven't tried this feature out so if
you do try it out let me know in the
comments down below just press okay
i definitely want to do that we'll we'll
leave that as it is okay let's go back
okay uh and up there you got your little
cog next to the app version so if you
press on that we can see we can choose
different languages we can choose the
dutch and there's obviously uh some
either japanese and maybe chinese
language there as well i'm not an expert
in those languages but i presume that's
what they may be
and then it's got record on and off i'm
not actually sure what that is i'm not
sure if he starts recording as soon as
you turn the drone on or not that's
something i can test out in the flight
and then you've got your meter and fee
to different units whichever you prefer
okay and then obviously you can check
for an update which you can do there
just press on to there
and then you have your band switching
now i'm not sure how this is going to
work but i just literally clicked on it
and found the united kingdom i did and
clicked on that so it might be a good
idea just to select your particular
country or state and go from there
now one thing i haven't tested you just
say universal 2.4 g as well i'm not sure
how that's going to work but it's
something that maybe at a later date we
can test out okay so let's just go back
a page
so we're going to carry on now and go to
preparations we can skip that because
we've already done the calibration okay
so just press confirm there it's saying
that you can so as it stated there just
if you literally just go in and out like
pinch the screen there you can zoom in
and out okay
we've already looked around what these
mean when we looked at the splash screen
so that's absolutely fine there the one
thing i did wanted to show you now so
let's have a look at the flight record
and see what that is there so this is
just a literally a handful of just a few
indoor flights i used to test it i
haven't done an outdoor one yet so i'm
keeping that for the experience for you
guys okay so basically i just took a few
photos here you can see there my top
speed was 2.4 meters per second my
maximum altitude was 1.2 meters and my
total distance in total has been 77.6
meters which isn't very far at all i
don't think i haven't done that really
if i'm absolutely honest okay
so you can delete those as well if you
want to
okay uh and then you have your different
camera angle you hitting camera so you
can go from camera to camcorder and back
and then you obviously can take a photo
so i can take a photograph of that okay
so that takes that photo there
for us now you can see it's very faint
but if you can actually use this as well
to kind of tilt the camera down you see
it's not the smoothies and it goes down
in little increments
it's almost like all like
like a little stopwatch
okay and obviously that is there you can
check your photos etc as well so you can
see the photos that's what i'll just
take and just of my lovely lovely box
okay so let me just go back there
and then finally we'll just click on to
this kind of really dodgy looking uh cog
for the settings so let's just click
onto that
okay
you can see here we've got the flight
parameter settings okay now it will
automatically come on in beginners mode
okay now every time you turn it on it
probably is going to start off in
beginners mode so if you do start flying
this and find your you can go maybe like
30 meters up or 30 meters out then well
that's what you need to kind of just
turn off so go to that little cog in the
top right corner and then just turn off
beginners mode press the save but button
there just above on the top right hand
corner of that box and then that turns
it off okay
now beginner's mode yeah you can turn
that on and you can we can't actually
even increase that okay so basically
just turn that off and basically now you
can adjust your maximum height so you
might want to turn that up to like maybe
like with this drone i wouldn't want to
take it up to 120 really i think uh i
probably just want to take that up to
around 70 meters uh give or take on the
situation
okay and then the maximum radius out as
well now that's going to be for
your distance okay so you start off with
30 meters and then we can adjust that
all the way up well we can just press on
the holder thing it's gonna take a
little while i think
okay okay so what you can do is press
and hold and then
highlight it and then you can actually
type in there so i could put it in there
like
250 meters okay that's probably the
easiest way to do it and then press save
and there you go and that's basically
the app that's as simple as it is
new it's here optical mode that's the
yellow bar on the top right corner here
you can just see there
that's optical mode and that just means
that that's because it's indoors
basically okay um and then that will
change to a green color i believe once
you outside and you can connect to your
satellites whether or not it's going to
tell you how many satellites you're
connected to i don't know but we'll find
that out when we do the test okay guys
