Holy Stone HS360D User Manual

Cruise Control

Long press the [Cruise Control] button (▲) to enter the function. The drone flies straight at the same speed it was going before entering cruise control. Long press the button again to exit.

Zoom

To zoom in, scroll the zoom dial (+/-) to the right. The LCD screen displays "ZOOM IN." To zoom out, scroll the zoom dial to the left. The LCD screen displays "ZOOM OUT."

Emergency Stop

Hold the [Emergency Stop] button (▲) for 2 seconds. This function only works when the drone's altitude is lower than 16 ft and should be used in case of emergency to avoid damage or injury.

Camera Adjustment

Adjust the camera angle by scrolling the camera adjustment dial (▲ ANGLE) for a tilt range of -90° to 0°.

Photo/Video

Photo: Short press the [Photo] button (▲) on the transmitter. The [REC] indicator on the LCD screen flashes once, confirming a photo was taken.

Video: Short press the [Record Video] button (▲) on the transmitter. The [REC] indicator on the LCD screen starts to blink, indicating recording is in progress. Short press the button again to stop recording.

Note: The "Take Photo" function is disabled during video recording.

Speed Switch

Short press the [Speed Switch] button (▲) to switch speeds:

• Low (Camera Mode): 3m/s. Transmitter beeps once. LCD displays "CAMERA MODE."
• Middle (Normal Mode): 5m/s. Transmitter beeps twice. LCD displays "NORMAL MODE." (Default setting)
• High (Sport Mode): 7m/s. Transmitter beeps 3 times. LCD displays "SPORT MODE."

Return to Home (RTH)

The RTH function returns the drone to the recorded Home Point. It can only be triggered in GPS mode.

The drone's default home point is its takeoff location. If the drone lands elsewhere, the new location becomes the home point.

Smart RTH: Short press the [RTH] button (▲) to activate. The drone flies back to the last recorded Home Point. The transmitter beeps during Smart RTH. Short press the [RTH] button again to exit.

Failsafe RTH: Activated when the drone has a strong GPS signal and a pre-recorded Home Point, and when the connection between the transmitter and drone is lost, or the compass has no interference.

Low Voltage RTH: Triggered automatically when the drone battery is low. The drone lands as soon as possible to prevent damage.

• Stage 1: Drone flies back and hovers over the Home Point. Transmitter emits continuous beeps, LCD displays "GOING HOME." After returning, flight is restricted to a "safety zone" around the Home Point (98 ft radius, 66 ft height).
• Stage 2: Drone returns directly to the Home Point and initiates automatic landing.

⚠ During RTH, the drone cannot avoid obstacles. RTH cannot be activated if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable. Always keep the transmitter ON during flights; turning it off triggers Failsafe RTH.

GPS Follow

When GPS Follow is enabled, the drone tracks your movement via your cellphone's GPS signal. Ensure a strong and stable connection between the drone and transmitter.

Steps:

1. Ensure flight distance is within 164 ft. Tap the [GPS Follow] icon (▲), then select the [Follow] icon (▲).

3. The drone maintains its position and rotates. A panorama picture is auto-generated and saved to the album. A prompt box will appear upon completion.

Optical Flow Positioning

The Optical Flow Positioning System uses a camera module to acquire position information through visual images for precise positioning. It is typically used indoors when GPS signal is weak or unavailable. The optimal usage height for Optical Flow Mode is 1.6-9.8 ft.

The precision is affected by light intensity and surface textures. If the image sensor is unavailable, the drone switches to altitude-hold function automatically. Exercise caution under these circumstances:

• Fly over surfaces without clear patterns or textures.
• Fly over extremely dark or bright surfaces.
• Fly in areas with dramatically changing lighting.
• Fly over moving surfaces or objects (crowds, bushes in wind).
• Fly over water or transparent surfaces.
• Fly over highly reflective surfaces (e.g., mirrors).
• Fly over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, red, green).
• Fly over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles).
• Flying speed should not be too fast.
• Keep sensors clean at all times.
• Do not scratch or tamper with sensors. Do not use in dusty or humid environments.
• Ensure bright light and clear textures for the Optical Flow Positioning to recognize ground textures.

Altitude-Hold Function

The drone is designed with an altitude-hold function to maintain its altitude after releasing the left joystick (which will automatically spring back to the middle).
