- I was able to get out this morning and do a range test with the Hubsan Zino Pro. Very nice range. The only thing holding it back is the battery. A little larger battery and this thing could push the limits.
Hubsan Zino Pro: amzn.to/2TClp5j
I have 2 DJIs that I paid a mint for and I've been looking for a drone that I could send far away and not be so terrified. This is it. Thank you for this video.
Oh, and by the way - what an adventure!
I could feel your nervousness... as a Hubson Zino owner, I know what you were going thru in that moment... I will put a new shirt on, now... Brave pilot 👍🏻
How high can you take one of these drones?
Pffff, that return got me sweating.... thought it would go for a swim. Luckily it went full sportmode on that return haha. Looking forward to your next tests!
@Sky Man The Mini Mavic is twice as expensive. It's like comparing a Lamboghi with a hot hatchback.
@Sky Man I live in the UK!
My heart was in my throat on that return, brother! Dang! Time to take my blood pressure meds now!! Haha!!
Me too!
That was close call to crashing. Glad you made it.
Good morning my drone brother. Hey man you gotta love that black hawk Hubsan Zino Pro. This machine is a BEaSt. I love ❤️ it. Thanks sooo much for sharing this great video with us brother. Big like and thumbs up 👍. Much love and respect brother. God bless and stay safe. Have a great day Captain 👨✈️. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Plz, i am a decent pilot and I want a drone with high wind resistance, good range and usuable video quality. My budget is 400. Should I get this or the mavic mini
@@sbc2954 The Mini has that GD mo fo flight restriction BS, I hav a Mavic Air that I cant fly cuz I'm 4.7 miles from my airport, I hav mor flight time on my zino in one week than my Mavic in 2 years.
Nice video. My advice is to fly back manually. The rth uses more power like sport mode does but glad you got it back to the takeoff spot
I appreciate you doing this range test, I always push my birds to the limits to see how far I can go also! The battery actually may improve in flight time after it has been cycled a few times, I believe you need to cycle them about 10 times to get the best performance out of them. I'll keep an eye on your channel and see if you decide to do this test again after you have had time to cycle the battery. Nice Video!
Mike B aka The Drone Ranger
Good point on the cycling the batt, I will do that when I get my zino pro
A funny thing about the battery, I have the 501A with the wifi repeater. I notice the battery drops quickly on that one too. Just as yours did here in this video.
Nice flight, whew... Just made it. Next time:
1. check wind direction
2. go out into the wind, return with the wind at your back
3. turn of all obstacle avoidance sensors
4. don't land in the grass or leaves. That could damage the motors
Looking forward to your next distance flight. I just subscribed.
Good advice all round except 3. Welcome to Zino world - there aren't any obstacle avoidance sensors! Nerve wracking stuff!!
@@akinoshoko4258 The low battery chime sounds like doom. LOL I thought the pro version would have obstacle avoidance. You're right, nerve wracking.
@@runrun411 Hi from the UK! Thing is, I still feel that its a fantastic buy as I basically am a starter on these things. I do feel that hubsan has been a little bit naughty in that the max distance seems to only be achievable without video recording...... Still a bargain though
Oh Boy!! that was a nerve wracking return. :)
It was!
Phew, that was scary for a bit, it seems that the only thing holding this drone back is the battery, I have ordered one with 3 batteries however that won't enable me to go too far and record. Thanks for the video
That range is crazy wow
Impressive. The alarm it sends is a little scary. Thought it might turn into a submarine.
Cool test !

Good morning brother. Wow you did an excellent JOb on this range test brother. You gooo boyyyyyyy. 😂 great JOB. Nicely done and good work. Have a great weekend Captain 👨✈️. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
And you saved on getting a weed whacker ! Great flying !!
Hubsan says 4k range. It does not say 4k out and 4k back!
In other words it safe to say 2km out and 2km back = 4k range
Always assume the "fine print".
Nice, you made it to the home point.
Nice flight! Glad you made it back! Judging by the tilt and roll displayed on the FPV, you had a cross-tailwind going out, so that's potentially a very risky situation, since you need more power for the cross-headwind return. I couldn't believe that the auto RTH flew back so fast, it was showing 24 degrees of tilt, and can't have been the most efficient strategy for conserving battery. As Jburd drone said, you probably would have been better off manually flying it back, keeping the tilt to a lower value, maybe somewhere between 10 - 15mph instead of 20mph.
I enjoyed this video for at least the intense fear of not making it. Dude, when you hit 6,000 feet, I thought "No way, he still has to return over water." I was sweating bullets. Gotta get me one.
Thx dude. Great job and awesome footage too.
I can't believe how far you got!
Great flight, man! Very well done. A lot of risk, I love it...especially over water. One suggestion, bring it back home on 2% battery next time 🤣
😂
Good range test! I was wondering about that outbound speed of about 9mph. Gladly, you seemed to have the wind to your back in returning. Not a bad drone there!
That was tense! Impressed though, I reckon I'll be getting a Zino :)
Wow....a Nail biter for sure...but over a 1.4 mile out and back...not too shabby...so was the return speed due to the wind...I saw one post saying it went into sport mode...either way awesome flight
I just cancelled my Mavic Mini on Amazon, I think this one is more user friendly.
Same lol. Just got my Hubsan in
had my zino pro for a month, going back out 2morrow morning, this drone beats the mavic mini all day (4k, longer flight distane and more phone compatibility features than the mini and the best part is it's cheaper)
Great job 👍
Nice to see a proper range test. Just get it up and out and back. Perfect 👌
On a perfect day wind going with you on your flight out and magically turning to go with you on your RTH....4000 meters?
That was pushing it 2 close should have turned back at 69% just to save ur self some just in case room. The battery depletes very fast from the start of the flight maybe it needs to be cycled before doing long range. It the battery seems to need to be broke in before doing the long range to be on the safe side.
That was so tense to see. Brave guy!
WOW YOUR BRAVE THOUGHT FOR SURE GOING DOWN OVER WATER DONT THINK AM THAT BRAVE GREAT JOB BRAD
😁 Thanks!
I know it's old but I still want this one😁
I was wondering what would happen if you disabled the hd fpv video and used the lesser quality version if that would help with range.
Nerve racking!!! Glad to see it perform!!!!
Well done👍👍
Mikey
That was close. The lowest mine has came in was at 15% and I was sweating. Thought it was not going to make.
Shoot, you had my heart rushing lol. Started to fast forward to the end to make sure you made it back but decided to ride out this horror movie to the end 😂.
Because I don't need anything fancy I was going to get JJRC x12 but it only records at 25fps. 1080p would have been fine. But I think I'm going to go with the Zeno Pro instead. Maybe I can find me a good used one. GREAT VIDEO 👍
I have zino & its become one of my favorite drones video on the zino pro was solid & you no longer have to mess around with updating its done over the air with pro .The drop just before it got to you was a little strange like it was calculating to land or have enough power to make last few meters.
I'm thinking the drop was low battery.
Give that man a medal! A few buttock-clenching moments towards the end there, but I was quite impressed with the Zino Pro for the price. Thanks for posting. I forgot to ask, does the Pro accept ExFat files?
FAT32 I believe.
scary test. glad to see the rth battery work.
Well done lad well done!
They must be high trees to look that big at 400 ft!
Hey brah, watched both your range test -nice!. the second nail-biter one with the lost connection auto return made me decide to make a purchase. Anyhow, thanks for the range test and your work. I know this vid is a little old now but I have a question...
How do you change the H & D in the app interface to ft instead of meters? -can not figure it out...
Thanks man.
Awesome, this ZINO Pro is a warrior! one more subscribed here and that Like ✌️👍 to strengthen the channel. Congratulations
Wow!!! Livin on the edge
7000 ft is a bit over 2 km . So there's your definitive proof that you can't use the full range of the Zino Pro since you'd run out of battery
I like you review on the Hubsan Zino Pro , to that I did buy one and received Yesterday, with some items missing from the order and invoice receipt and paid, The Hubsanus company was not very helpful, never mind I will let Ebay sort this out with Hubsan, I hope that I won't have any problem with the drone, because they service is bad and I could not recommend they customer service.
Wow that did well about 2.16 KM or 1.3 miles. Good thing you weren't fighting a wind on the way back... Good video... Did you own the first Zino? I was curious if you noticed any difference with the way if flew or the camera?
No. I didn't have a Zino. Thanks for watching!
I didn't realize it claims 4km that is only gonna happen one way:)
@@scottturner7910 🤣
Zino : The baterry is not good , watch that thrill
It went over 2.1km 1.3 miles not bad for a cheap drone with a very good camera.. I was impressed my Mavic 2 Pro is a much better drone but cost 4 times as much....
I 'didn't realize it claims 4km.
@@scottturner7910 what batter zino or mavic pro sir
@@mrTwoLai The Mavic 2 Pro is much better...
He said second time flying it...so After battery cycle a few times it will improve battery performance
Well , Thank you so much , This is a great video, man, i have just become a member of your channel. I wish you more success. 👌
But i have a question : can you please tell me, what is the name of the place are you in?
Which country?
Which city?
It's very very beautiful place.
Tell me , where is that?
Or send me the coordinates of the site. ☺️
Answer my question about the place 🙄
?!!!!!
The place?!!!!
Great range video!
Great video
Hi. Excellent ! I would like to buy this one. I will appreciate, can you please send me one image from this copter to see the resolution of the camera. Regards.
Nice Range.But i think its not worth to change my 1 month old Zino for a Pro.
Very well, and competently shot video! A useful test, perhaps until that the first and the only on TH-cam where clearly visible the distance and the quality of videolink.( If compare with videolink from DJI Mavic -ZINO PRO trails in detail, especially on big distance, moreover I observed some ripple images).
In the rest of the - well competitive copter!
This drone is amazing but seriously under powered for a full range test. That was a close call.
awesome. I had the pro. I have the Zino 2 they say that it will go farther than the pro
Send it
Impressive. One should try tinker with it to put a battery with a higher capacity in..
Just subscribed. Seems to be a decent drone!
You were flying with the wind behind you as you were going 9mph with 0 pitch so coming back it had to fly against the wind.
Awesome! Well done video
Not bad. A great flight and you've convinced me to buy one.
Do you know the top speed in optimum conditions for this drone?
Thanks.
10m/s or 22 mph
@@CirclingtheDrone Thank you. I have actually found the same answer on the net. Sadly, it's too slow for me. I want 19m per second because my present drone gives me 8m sec.
Nice job!! Not sure if it's me but the video looked choppy the whole time
Thank you!
Did you change the fpv settings ??? Were you in HD mode or normal mode ?
Not sure.
Wow nice range test i have send Drone hubsan zino white color but my Drone is only 1 km range
tested with courage!
I thought zino pro's range is up to 4000m
Hubsan claims 4km range; which is probably accurate, if you don’t mind walking or driving 4kms to go pick it up. Considering the limited battery life and max speed, the actual round-trip range of this quad is probably closer to 2kms.
Very true.
at 10m/s , 16 minutes flight = 10*16*60=9600 meters, so there is even some margin for 4kms ( 8kms total), so where is the problem ?
Patrice Horcholle - I’ll tell you... this was only a 14-min flight, which discharged the battery down to 9% (a level that is close to damaging the battery). So your 16-min flight assumption is not real-world. Nor is the assumption of 10 m/sec both outbound and inbound, which assumes zero wind at altitude. I’m not knocking the Zino, but prospective buyers need to have realistic performance expectations.
@@mattfoley7881 MT Yerpokits ok, I get your point, but I'll tel you...in order to give a realistic performance expectation you need to look at many reviews/test, not only one : for instance the same reviewer did a week after that test 3.2 kms at a speed above 8 m/s. Not bad for a bird that ,according to many on that file, "could not do more than than 2 kms considering battery life and speed ..." .
During that second test the battery was at 72% at 2 kms, 62% at 3 kms. I let every one do the basic math... For me the realistic round-trip range is 3 to 3.5 kms , at 8.5m/s above 15°C with a good battery (Hubsan batteries are probably not very high quality resulting in discrepancies from one to another). King regards.
I don't understand where this 14min flight time came from as I get between 20-21 mins I once had 19min in excessively windy conditions. This is either a defective battery or mine are extra special.
What do you think about it overall?
Have you had any issues ...and was this on a new battery not yet broken in?
Nice video
Good Job
True Drone Reviews Thanks 👍
Is it wrong that I'm a fan boy of your channel?
Hey what are your thoughts bon EXO Drones as a brand? Specifically the EXODRONE Blackhawk?
Never heard of it.
Nale bitter...... do you think is worth the money
Good Test !!
Do u habe to calibrate it every single time before you fly ..like pick it up spin it around a bunch of times
What phone you where using for the range test?
Samsung Galaxy Note 8, I believe
TY BROTH
So hi first from the Netherlands, did conversion ft to meters and 7000ft is about 2kilometers while it says range is 4km it is just to and back correct?
Appears so
Rene De Jong
aww...good point, 4 km looks very impressive on the specs...think I’ll still get this drone for my first one
It's will be 4km each way just restricted by stock battery life. I'm presuming that's why the 5000mah battery was created.
Which one should I take fimi x8 or zino pro??? Plzplzplz reply 😉 bye
Don't know. Never flew the Fimi X8.
the Fimi has a longer flight time and the update is easy via wifi
Would be nice to see what’s different inside the pro?
i personally think this is not the time for hubsan to bring the pro version. they need to improve the speed cauz it's too low for the range it has given. and also the battery is crappy, they didn't improve that one there.
no point of giving so much range without powerful battery and low speed.
the previous version of 1km is worth the money and flying but not this version.
Agreed, The early model worth the money and with the latest firmware update it's pretty much got the job done
This can't compete with DJI, this is a great camera drone for the money, I was impressed...
Nice Video buddy!!
What made you choose Zino Pro and not Fimi x8?
Gaurav Sharma Price!🤣
That pinched right through!! Even I am stuck between Zino vs Fimi and everyone who owns a Zino wanted a Fimi.
Does Zino Pro has some quality differences than the previous Zino?
fimi x8
Did Hubsan release a 5000 mah battery for this drone?
Yes, I've seen them on some of the websites...hubsan.com, gearbest.com and banggood.com
Does the 5000mah battery give longer flight time?
@@Emeliotube I got a 5000mAh battery from Hubsan. I was excellent... Much longer flight time.
But I pushed it all the way down to 15% one time. It wouldn't charge fully after that and crashed out of the sky on the following flight. Zino undamaged, luckily!
@@davebutler3905 What is the update on that bigger battery? Has it gotten better with charging? And have you had anymore problems with the drone crashing? I ordered on and got 4 batteries but not the big one. Got scared because someone said it has to be held on with a velcro strap. Is that true?
Was it flying back sideways?
Has anyone tried the 5000maH battery available on Amazon?
How high can you take one of these drones?
My zino pro only get to 772.4m in distance and the total milliage is 1441.7m, is it because of the buildings and trees and phone poles? And i also just updated the firmware this morning
Buildings, tress and phone poles in between you and the drone will reduce distance.
This vs Mavic mini ? What's better ?
If the signal got lost and it switched to go home mode, and the go home altitude was set to 100 feet would it descend into the trees ?
No. If it is above the set 100 feet it will stay there.
I am new to Drone.I am planning to buy one soon. One question, Zino Pro’s more distance coverage means, it will have more signal strength if there is a obstacle between controller and aircraft when we fly at lesser distance (eg:1000M) compared to Zino H117S?
Yes but don't want obstructions blocking your signal. The LEAS system is better with obstacles then original zino by far but best results are line of sight preferably in isolated areas
William Horsley thank you.I ordered Pro.Will arrive soon.😊.Waiting for my first flight.
@@7760468484 me too. I got mine on gearbest for $330 after taxes. Ordered 2 days ago waiting for confirmed shipping . I have original hubsan zino but it's range is not so good with light obstacles like sparse tree blockage but I've did some studying on the LEAS 1.0 system on zino pro and it has a much stronger signal. Interesting reading and the hubsan zino 2 has the LEAS 2.0 system for 8 km range with optical flow sensors I've heard not sure about sensors but I do know you can unsnap camera from quadcopter for repairs I'd suspect that's why it comes off. Anyway you and yours have a happy new year. Sincerely William Horsley
Good drone just video quality not good, can you change drone camera?
Not likely.
I love my zino pro but precision landings on a windy afternoon can be a little scary. Especially when my 5 year old boy is running around. Be careful out there, but have fun. Thanks for the video Circling Drone. Please check-out my Ch. Lots of cool stuff
good.. goodd...good...
Это батарея 3000mah или 4200mah?
How do you get your display back to feet and mph. Mine got shifted to metric and I can't get it back.Mine goes 23 mph on rth. After 50 flights.
In the flight screen hit the Settings icon in the upper right of the screen. Then pick the Others icon at the bottom left. The Imperial and metric setting is there.
@@CirclingtheDrone Thanks-will try.
@@CirclingtheDrone It reads imperial but when I fly it always shows metric. I used to be at feet. Don' t know how it switched. I even tried going back and forth but it stays at metric. I'm considering reinstalling the app but it flies so good it might not be worth it.
@@havenhemmings3574 Yeah. Strange
@@CirclingtheDrone Update: I did get back to mph settings vs metric. I had to uninstall the app and reinstall. It still does not show my yaw azimuth. I will have to work on that.
Does it appear choppy on the SD card or just the screen record
Just screen
No
How does it do just hovering without a optical flow senor?
Not too bad if there is no wind.
@@CirclingtheDrone thank you
My Zino 1 is too unstable to use for low altitude and close ups. It never sits still. ADHD?
Holy cow
Gees that was a very close call. Have seen so many people do range tests over water. Seems like a strange thing to do. Must be a thrill seeking thing! Anyhow thanks for the video. No way this thing can do 4km they claim. Must be 2 kms out and 2kms back, because the battery would never allow it to get back.
They need to fix the battery life on it
They planned it this way so you'll need to buy the 5000mah battery for over $50 . They were well aware of its lack of battery to actually make 4 kilometers. Sneaky business practices. I ordered 1 on flash sale and I was 1 of the 1st but put me on backorder. Sold 101 units before running out?? saying they were surprised by its popularity. LMAO. I'm still on backorder and they just started another flash sale with jan 16th as shipping date. Don't fall for that. Only if you want to wait a very long time. I'm just going to wait because it's a good price. They gave me 100 points to make up for their error. About $1 I believe with restricted use
