As I mentioned above, the drone has a good "horizontal" altitude hold, but not a complete altitude hold, meaning that the drone stays horizontal/parallel to the ground, but is not able to consistently maintain the same height from the ground

Great little drone, altitude hold good, very responsive, durable

Great drone for beginners with solid altitude hold function that keeps the drone steady and makes the trickiest part of drone flight (the throttle) easy

What I like the most about the hs170g is the altitude hold its much easier to fly than the hs170 I've been flying it for a few hours now and everything is working really good.

Altitude hold - perfect for fast flights and not worrying about altitudeHeadless mode

The good thing about this is that it's very light, very responsive, and has a good "horizontal" altitude hold

I like that on this HS170G they have resolved having to constantly work the altitude while flying as you do on the HS170

It may be small in size (with some pretty wicked styling happening by the way), but it packs some BIG features like an altitude hold function that really works.

The not-so-good things about the drone are the altitude hold (driven by the throttle stick) and the trimming function, resulting in poor altitude stability
