Hi all,
I got a
Holy Stone RID unit yesterday and would like to share that it works fine for me, and the little frustrations...
The QR Code in the little user's manual was corrupt and took me to a site that wanted to charge me $48 per month for God knows what. Not knowing what anything looks like, i balked at that and used Holy Stones chat feature, which was tended and answered in a minute. The agent let me know this was a problem and suggested I scan the QR Code in their on-line doc instead:
To share the joy of flying a drone and exploring the wonderful world, Holy Stone provides high-quality quadcopters also drones with camera.

That worked, but I wasted an hour or so trying to make it work on my Pixel 6. Then I stumbled across an article that says Pixel 6 is one of the Androids that is not compatible with their app and only lists a few that are known to be compatible.
After these discoveries, it took about two minutes to get it set up and working when I installed the HS DroneGo2 on an older Samsung G7.
I'll be using it on my old Inspires, a Pro Platinum, Mavic
2s until they're updated, and the old Typhoons I keep for their cheap CGO-ETs.
I've got AirSentinel, OpenDroneID, and Drone Scanner on my Pixel 6, and they all detect the RID unit instantly, and they also get my
Air 2S.
I see lots of problems using these apps and just wanted to post some success, and some hitches...
