Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the HS790 for delivering pro‑level stability and image quality at a consumer price, emphasizing its robust 3‑axis gimbal, long 60‑minute flight envelope and extensive 9 km range. They also appreciate the suite of GPS‑based smart modes and the inclusion of Remote ID. However, they caution that the drone’s weight pushes it into the mandatory registration category and that the marketing of 6K stills while limiting video to 4K/30fps (and a 720p app preview) can mislead buyers.
What Users Say
Everyday users praise the HS790’s easy out‑of‑the‑box setup, reliable Follow‑Me tracking and the convenience of on‑controller telemetry. The long flight time and stable footage in sport mode are repeatedly highlighted. Complaints focus on the initial compass calibration, the bulkier unfolded profile and confusion over the advertised 6K video capability.
Common Complaints
Weight requiring registration, misleading 6K marketing versus actual video limits, mandatory compass calibration, bulkier unfolded size, and inconsistent wind‑resistance specifications across sources.
