Holy Stone HS790
Score: 78/100
Karuisrc Drone
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Karuisrc K600 is a GPS-enabled drone featuring a 4K UHD camera with a 120° field of view and a built-in 4.5-inch LCD screen for phone-free operation. Its trade-off is the lack of foldable design and advanced obstacle avoidance, limiting portability and safety. Best suited for beginners and casual aerial photographers seeking easy controls and solid imaging.
The Holy Stone HS790 is a foldable GPS drone featuring a 3-axis gimbal, 4K video and up to 60 minutes of combined flight time. Its larger weight pushes it into the registration-required category and the advertised 6K stills are not matched by video capabilities. It targets intermediate creators who need long range and professional-grade stabilization.

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.
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.
Reviewers commend the K600 for its innovative phone-free LCD interface, solid 22-minute flight endurance, and advanced waypoint mapping, while emphasizing the long antenna range that enhances signal reliability; overall they view it as a strong entry-level offering that bridges ease of use with respectable imaging capabilities.
