Hubsan Zino Pro Long Range FPV Camera Drone Flight Test Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- The Hubsan Zino has been upgraded to allow much longer range for FPV flights of up to 4 kilometers. Other improvements include ND filter capability, and improved control gimbals. Lets take it for a test flight. Find it here bit.ly/HubsanZi... And here is an unedited demonstration of its 4K video • Hubsan Zino Pro 4K Vid...
Pros
- Three axis stabilized gimbal.
- 4K video camera resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels at 30fps. Camera also includes optional ND filter capability.
- FPV video is viewed on your smartphone without need of WiFi. Instead your phone can be connected directly to the controller and drone via OTG cables.
- 3S 3000mah battery provides about 18 minutes flight time.
- Control and FPV video range of up to 4 Km.
- Advanced camera and flight mode control is available via the X-Hubsan app. Some features available through the app include Waypoints, Orbit, Optical Follow Me, Creative Video, and Line Fly. Photography parameters that can be modified include ISO, Exposure, Saturation, Contrast, and Sharpness. Video parameters that can be modified include Resolution, Frame Rate, White Balance, Color, and Video Format.
Cons
- Although capable of much longer FPV and control range than the original Zino, it is not a good idea to try to reach 4Km. The demonstrated flight time of the provided battery is about 18 minutes, and is likely not to be sufficient to return.
- The drone has automatic visual apron landing capability. However, in multiple tries I was not able to get the drone to land on the apron with this feature activated. It always seems to lose the apron just before landing.
- Promised features of panorama still photography and creative video have not yet been implemented in the X-Hubsan app.
- Optional ND filters are also not yet available.

The first Zino1 weighs 728 gram with gimbal cover and 717 without gimbal cover. Black Zino1 from summer 2019
so if yours White at 707g without gimbal cover, then the black Zino1 also differs.
btw massive jump with more than +100m in distance from high 900ish meters to +1100 meters at 14:50 likely down to you orientated your antennas.
but 1500m under ideal circumstances.. with a 4KM claim..mehh.. you had way left in the battery and 81% and could easily have gone on and given your title hence "LONG range test" some value.
the battery indicator seems sick, it is almost dropping like second at 49% at 20:55
Quadcopter 101 can I use the new controller with the old Zino thanks
Hello from Oildale. I just bought zino pro because of your review. It's nice to see someone fly out to a good range but still be legal. If you know Oildale then you know about Meadows Field I live 1 block away from Airport Drive & Norris Rd so I have to drive at least 5 miles strategically because of hospitals and heliports so I think I'm going to head out to that place where the trains at sometime man to take it for a flight hope to see you out there
That means no need of 802.11ac Wi-Fi???
@@khalifamusa1481 that is correct. You do not need to use wifi. Instead, the controller sends the video signal to your phone using a cable connection. The cable is provided with the drone.
Dang! That Zino is LEGIT!
The increased range is said, by Hubsan, through the use of their LEAS (whatever that is) transmission system...
Quadcopter 101 I love your videos The only thing is you never push your drones far enough during the range test. I understand you don't want to lose them but if you're doing a range test video maybe you should just push it out as far as they can go and land them and go drive and get it. Just an idea keep up the good work
@Quadcopter 101 I know that I have watched at least 4 range test videos of the Hubsan Pro and it has been flown 4km and it has made it back every time. Although battery is about at 5%.
True
Thank you for this review.
As we are not allowed to fly our drones beyond line
of sight,I think Hubsan played a cheap trick by issuing
this version.
This range is required by professionals in for instance
SAR situations and there are drones that can do the
job much better,especially when you consider battery life.
This version only gives you bragging rights.
I'll stick to my regular Zino.
You have a point there. I can only think of at least having more reliable signal range, if that was ever bugged on the old Zino ;)
Good review. Lived in Ridgecrest for many years. Sulfar!
I have one of these. It’s a very good drone. Does not have obstacle avoidance. I’ve had mine out to almost 3 miles. I have 4200 mah batteries. I get almost 45 minutes with no wind. Good drone for the price.
Nice quad, good review. On RTH accuracy, watching the screen 'Distance' measure as the quad descends centered over the landing pad it indicates between 0.7 and 1.1m distance. Apparently at touch down the software opts for '0.0' GPS distance no matter what the optics show.
By the way,
the lens filters can also be fitted on an ''old'' Zino.
Very enjoyable review and flight coverage. The Zino Pro is proving to be quite a capable drone. It’s was interesting to hear some information about the train I did wonder if was still in use. Thanks
It has a different processor and it has a fan to cool it that’s why it’s heavier
Video quality is excellent the views are beautiful.
Bro do review for hubsan zino 2
Nice steady picture, Thanks
1100kilometers is more then 4. So you should be impressed!! After 8:35 is when you confessed 1100kilometers a world record!!! Battery life must be up to 100hrs jk I knew what you meant thanks for all the good work brother
what phone is that
You have to turn recording off for pinpoint landing. Did you change distance setting on the drone
Hi Quadcopter 101
I purchased the pro plus probably not a good idea as my first ever drone, started off with the intention of just buying a cheap version, which now I'm beginning to think I should have gone for the basic ready to fly model's.
My question is I want to purchase a phone just for the drone, I'd prefer to buy an Android phone rather than iPhone because of the expense.
As I'm buying the phone solely for the drone use, so my questions are A, does it need to be on contract, and B, can you suggest an android phone capable for the job in hand.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Nic
Great review as always. I think some of these cons like the apron landing will be fine tuned in future firmware and software updates like the original zino which most reviewers say is much better now.
I bought this drone about 8 months ago and had nothing but problems with it disconnecting from my phone. I had to buy a new transmitter because the usb socket broke on the original one. When I turn on the new transmitter the blue lights just keep cycling and never go solid. My questions is: What do I need to do to make it work????????
Good video, good explanation. Two pertinent doubts, the first, gyroscope calibration should always be done before a flight? the other: can the calibration of the compass be done before detecting the satellites, or afterwards? or is it irrelevant?
Do your calibrations outside and as drone heads down to land stop recording
Also go to settings and set return height so it don't fly into anything and also set flight distance to maximum
I've had my Zino pro for four years and it is amazing
1100 meters is over half a mile-still cool. Im waiting for mine till Oct 12 2020- crying
Can you use the 5000 Mah batteries from the Zino 2 on the Zino Pro ?
No, sorry.
I like this little drone. Just told a friend about it! Would likely be a great starter drone!
I don't think so.
The extended range,combined with the current
battery life,will get many inexperienced pilots
into trouble.
If you want to fly far(and break the law),
you will need a much longer battery life,
like that of the Fimi X8 SE or a DJI drone.
your video is very good but tell me, the zino pro camera we know is good, but are the quality of the photos also good?
It climbs to altitude you set before on return
You said the basis of the video was to test range, yet you never did that?
Yes! Show me a range test if the title says so
Subject me which dorn I want to by. Dji mavic mini standard version at 550 or hubsan zino pro combo version at 450 dollars. Didn't matter the price and this dorns price is my country.
Hi，I am planning to invite you review the ZINO PRO.Maybe I miss the best time.
How does this compare to the DJI Mavic mini other than this one is full 4k and the Mavic mini is not?
Steve Laminack the mavic mini is superior.
Heavier.. There's a cooling fan in the Pro version.
They are currently already sold out at Hubsan.
Black is good easy to see 👍🏻
I'm hearing you are saying Original, Original, Original, ETC
Well , Do you want to say that the black drone is fake and not made by Hubsan ??
Is this what you want to say ?! Please explain
No, not at all. There is an older version of this drone, the original Hubsan "Zino" from Hubsan. The drone that I am flying in this video is the new Hubsan "Zino Pro". I am comparing this newer drone to the older original version, and discussing the improvements that have been added to the newer Zino Pro.
SJW alert Zino lives matter
Hi, did you encounter pairing issue with the controller or entering bind mode? Coz according to the instruction, you have to press power button 3x and the front and rear LED lights will blink. Mine doesn't blink at all. the red led light still steady after pressing. It doesn't pair at all. :(
I did. But I found to bind that it is necessary to first turn on the transmitter before turning on the drone.
Awesome upgrade...TFS!
Better than fimi x8 se?
Awesome in-depth video man! Does the Zino Pro have flight restrictions like DJI geo zone restrictions?
No it does not.
Want your advice please, your the youtube expert . I have a mavic Mini. Thinking of a 2nd, would you recommend a Hubsan Zino Pro or a FIMI X 8 and why if you could ? Keep flying
Fletch.
If you can pick up the Fimi for around 400 Dollars U.S.,
I would go for it.
That's right but the cheapest is $500 currently. Hubsan zino 2 coming with 8 km range and I think they finaly added optical maybe some obstacle avoidance
@@WilliamHorsley1962
At the moment the Fimi is 419,99 Dollars U.S. on Banggood.
Nice Reviews Sir, I like this drone plan to buy this one 😍
its arround same price as dji mavic mini but the mini for sure has better quality also better camera these 4k drones arent real 4k just upscaled the mini has a real 2.7k camera wich you wont see that much diffrence between real 4k unless ur watching on a very big tv so for the price this drone is go for the real deal for a dji drone :P
Your awsome man! Always the best info too!!
This is so weird... As I was watching this video I pulled up the 4k footage video and it almost synced up perfectly with the timing...
How many times have you used the battery
This drone with dji parabolic dishes ( abt $10.00) makes closer to 1.7 km, which is more than a mile. The only other thing is adding an ND filter. MOD'S.
Will you be doing a review on the hubsan zino 2? Only a hand full of people have got the zino 2 and all the vids if seen so far don't explain anything about it. Would love to see you so a review on it
Not at this time.
@@Quadcopter101 😪
What do you think which is the better for a beginner? The mavic mini or tue hubsan zino pro?
If you would chose 1 drone out of the fimi x8 vs the zino pro. Which would you chose and why? Thanks!
Maybe the apron should be orange? The FIMI works better with orange than other colors it seems, perhaps the contrast or brightness(?) Have seen people testing various colors and orange worked best.
No. I tried it with the opposite orange side the day before. Same result. It would almost make it, then lose the apron just before landing.
@@Quadcopter101 Ah I may have missed that video (and I try not to miss any of yours!). Firmware updates should take care of that as it did for Fimi's
That landing thing is kinda cool. :-) think its a software thing that has to be fixed. It could be to sensitive or something. I have seen a hubsan Zino actually manage to land right on the spot. :-)
Looks like the Pro does have improved (fpv) range, but I agree with you QC101 that the battery-power won't last long enough for a 4KM return-trip and that is with taking wind into account! BTW: I assume you charged the batteries at Lipo settings?
Oops, I meant 'withOUT' taking wind into account!
I charged them with the stock charger.
As people apparently have been charging the Zino batteries on LiHV settings and getting longer flighttime (of course) out of them. I for one don't like to stress my lipos (it does say 'lipo' on the batt) that way.
Need range test...
Will this be ideal for a beginner like me?
I need recommendations should I buy fimi x8se or hubsan zino pro I see no difference except flight time and Long range. Need advice thanks.
If you're looking for 'bang for your buck' I'd say go for the Zino, but do realize that it's a bit less sophisticated (no bottom sensors for one/less camera settings) compared to the X8 SE. Then again, it's also cheaper, especially if you can get it during a sale! Have a look at 'Black Friday' or 'Cyber Monday' sales in a couple of weeks! ;-) So far I've been enjoying my ('normal') Zino :-)
Same question I asked myself last year. Went with the X8 and feel I definitely made the right choice... flies further, longer and faster than the Zino. For me, well worth the extra $.
I own both the Hubsan and the Fimi.
Compared to the Hubsan the build quality is
much better.
I would go for the Fimi if I had to choose.
Do a side by side comparison of the specs. Depends on what you really want, and want to spend. FIMI for me for the range, camera quality, flight time, functions (waypoint customization more advanced).
@@goldie9864 Go for Fimi dude, you will see the big difference between them. Good flying
Where doe it take the SD card?
So cool you can use cardinal in a sentence correctly :)
love your reviews, but you didn't even try to to do it!
Yea crap review
looks great, is there a way to turn off the GPS and go into ATTI mode in case of interference or something goes wrong with the GPS signal?
It auto returns in that case. You can set the altitude for that aswell
@@DevilsCrown that's great if there are no obstacles in the way
@@net69flix Yeah, always set return altitude high enough ;)
atmasphier conditions , at times GPS stinks. I run a GPS on my bicycle and some days it won't load
is it worth its money to buy it?
Yes
It’s 37 so yea probly
Hubsan zino pro, o fimi x8 se ? Calidad precio
Fimi definitely
Do you know flypie vr6 pro? There almost no flying video besides Taiwan and China! Maybe the drone not available outside these two area.
The flypie vr6 pro does look very interesting. I will be sure to ask my sponsors if I may review it, should they get it in their inventory.
Actually I was first to say before a week😭😭😭😭😭
Great
Have you ever had any problems with the aircraft connecting with the controller?
Not really. But if you're having problems, make sure that your controller is fully charged.
Also try turning on the controller before turning on the drone.
@@Quadcopter101 thanks for the info and your time preciate it
Great vid as usual Q101. Do you or anyone happen to know if the Zino will bind to the H7000 transmitter? Would like to see if it can do autonomous waypoints. TIA
I want to know if it binds to a h906a transmitter myself..
@@Roboticdoughbull3k Hubsan says NO...bummer eh
The go karts are called sand rails.
Howdy howdy. I have one question, are the adapters the same as the ones that you showed for the white Zino? That is, the ones that allow me to use a less than 811 phone.
Make that two questions, I watch your videos even if I don't want to buy the Drone you're showing just because I like your videos. Any chance you'll sure your Name with us? If not it's cool. I understand.
Yes this uses the same on the go (OTG) cables as the original white Zino. And sorry, I like to keep a little anonymity on the internet ;-)
@@Quadcopter101
Well. I finally saved and got my Zino Pro.
One problem that I cannot find the answer to...
Every time I try 2 switch from 4K to 1080 it tells me to switch to video mode first. I can't figure out what they're talking about. Can you help me? Please.

Nice video. How far is long range ??
I flew it to 1.5km in the video, but its range can be up to 4km.
Hi Friend. Can you please send me one picture taken by ZINO Pro to see the resolution of the Camera ? Thanks in advance. Regards.
So if you connect your phone to the controller you don't need a phone with 802.11ac wifi?
That is correct. In fact you don't need WiFi at all with this drone. The drone is connected to the controller via supplied OTG cable.
@@Quadcopter101 Thats good news. Now i dontbhave to spend an extra $150 on a phone. Would you recommend this drone?
Yes very much so. It is a great performing drone.
@@Quadcopter101 Awesome. Thank you for your help.
Do you fly out in Ridgecrest, CA? That's where I am at.
Yep. Retired China Laker.
You need much bigger landing pad or you will end up with busted gimball due to dust getting inside bearings...
hubsan zino vs zino pro which camera quality is batter
Didn't matter the price difference
Same camera on both. But Zino Pro has better range and better gimbal.
@@Quadcopter101 Thank's a lot
HuBsan zino pro Vs Fimi 8 Se which one is better
Didn't. Matter the price difference
I Bought my Zino Pro, and my range no more than 500m . And always lost signal. Someone can help me?
Range will vary depending on whether there is WiFi interference. I was flying in the best environment, in the desert, with no other WiFi signals around me.
@@Quadcopter101 I understood.
Maybe cause I tried only here in my neighborhood. Cause, drone hubsan zino pro I saw 4 km range. So I felt disappointed.
I will try another area.
Can be, something in the software or antenna?
Thank you for answer.
Also make sure to keep the flat back sides of the antennas pointed towards the drone. That's where the antennas transmit and receive best. Do not point the tips of the antenna toward the drone as that is worst.
@@Quadcopter101 one more question.
When I open the app x-hubsan there has a opition FPV - HD and ORDINARY.
So I tried before turn the drone e the control choose the option FPV- Ordinary, but return automatic to FPV- HD when I turn on the drone and the control.
And I tried turn on FPV-HD to FPV- Ordinary, and what's happen?
I got disconnected, and than I turn off the control but not resolve I had to turn off the drone likewise.
Why I did that? I having seen videos how get better range and the Hubsan Official said to chance to HD to NORMAL....
BUT I didn't get.
Do you tried somety like it?
@@felipeca4094 I haven't checked mine, but yes it would be better to not use HD as HD would slow the data transfer rate, causing video lag.
Not first but thanks. Already had a shout out.
And here is your shoutout th-cam.com/video/EfpdfHR2oWI/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately only one shoutout per winner. I'd like to increase the chances for everyone to get a shoutout.
Which is the better jjrc x12 or hupsan zino pro and focus of their time for him
Hubsan Zino Pro is much better than the JJRC X12. The X12 has issues with getting good GPS signals and acquiring enough satellites to take off. Also connecting to the app on your phone is somewhat tricky as well, if you connect your cell phone before the drone and controller are connected properly, you won't get it to work. Sometimes the JJRC X12 is a real pain in the ass to get connected to enough GPS satellites to take off. I even contemplated sending back the JJRC X12 because of the issues it has getting everything synced and ready to fly. The Hubsan Zino Pro acquires satellites rather quick in comparison. The gimbal and camera on the Hubsan Zino Pro is much better than that on the JJRC X12. I'm not sure about anyone else, but the JJRC X12 was not a well made drone for the price, I'd highly recommend the Hubsan Zino Pro over the JJRC X12.
JimmyZ RC yes Your words are true, but I want to know what is the farthest drone reached by the pilot and how long the battery life
@@ibrahimmohammed3899 I've only gotten around 22 to 23 minutes out of the JJRC X12, however I've gotten around 27 minutes out of the Zino Pro. Both I've tested at a hover as well as normal flying while shooting video. Each drone has stayed pretty consistent with a fully charged battery. Unfortunately every drone is a bit different, so other pilots may have different results than me. I hope this helps.
I hope you make a video about husband zino pro flying to 4 kilometers
Are all the frimware update done by wifi please let me know thanks
Nope. They're done with your computer using a micro USB cable, and a microSD card. Here's how th-cam.com/video/arwy1iGjaPY/w-d-xo.html
was that a special screen or were you using your phone?
That was my phone. You can use any smartphone with this.

Good drone and nature. Let's be friends.
Do these remotes work with older ones
absolutly not
Can it be set to imperial?
Yes it can in the settings page (the icon that looks like a gear).
Yesterday it was the aliens!
2k out and 2k back 4K.
Can you give drone because I really really want to have one for my cycling but i can't afford because im just a kid
Hello is this the zino 2
No. The Zino 2 has un upgraded 4K @60fps camera (vice 4K @ 30fps of the Zino Pro), A larger 3800mah battery (vice 3000mah Pro), and higher 915 gram weight (vice 700 grams Zino Pro), but double the range at 8Km, and a controller with LCD screen for telemetry info (without needing the app). Of course this comes at a higher price than the Zino Pro.
Are you going to get one and test it
Not at this time
2km out + 2km back = 4km! Seems simple to me.
Jeez, I watch this channel and appreciate it, but I should have known better to take it at face value whenever you say you're gonna do a 'Range Test.' You had a crystal-clear image at close to a mile. If you were so worried about the battery, why not use Sport Mode for the test so you can make it further with the same amount of battery consumption?? Never mind, you just never do a proper range test. ;)

Why the hell did you fly back so early? Wasnt this supposed to be a range test? God damn....
It was. I flew out to 1500 meters (50% more than the original Zino). And was still able to make it back with sufficient battery power.
But this guy made it out to 3000 meters. th-cam.com/video/i55Edtg_lyo/w-d-xo.html

Nope, this should work with most phones. FPV video is viewed on your smartphone without need of WiFi. Instead your phone is connected directly to the controller and drone via provided OTG cables. The controller has built-in WiFi that connects automatically to the drone.
not bad for a hubsan...catching up on DJI..well maybe not lol
