  • What batteries work and what is the better option as a result?
    I am using the Hubsan Zino Pro+ batteries on the Hubsan Zino Pro and using the Zino Pro batteries and the GIFI batteries on the Zino Pro Plus.
    Hubsan is spending more time on trying to stop you from using other batteries when then need to focus on quality control and better firmware not to mention finishing the things that don't work as described on these Hubsan drones.
    Keeping your Zino Pro and buying the Zino Pro Plus batteries might be your best option here. Especially if you are on older Zino Pro firmware and an older app version with no battery metering problems.
    I think it's much nicer to have the option to use the batteries you already have like the 3000 mAh or 4200 mAh GIFI that fit the Pro+ even if they have lower ratings or using the larger 5000 mAh on you Zino or Zino Pro.

    Great informative video Chris. Please speak to the charging process for the 5000m battery. Will it charge from a stock Hubsan Zino Pro charger? Also, are there any upgrades with the Pro+ that enhance range besides the larger battery? My Gifi battery gives me plenty of power 🔋 but my range is limited even with Yagi's or parabolics...

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  3 года назад +2

      No you can only use a + - power supply to the battery in this one and the Zino 2+. It has a different circuit in the battery that won’t allow you to use the old chargers or a hobby grade charger.
      You’re range issue could be multiple things and yes the pro plus is enhanced a little there but could be a issue for you in your area unless there’s something wrong with your pro.

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  3 года назад +1

      It’s still the same voltage regardless so it reads the same. It will just last longer being a higher mAh.

      Yes it fits as I answered in your question on another video of mine. It should charge fine as long as the charger is just a power supply. A charger that does balance mode won't work. That is done within the battery circuit.

That makes three gps quadcopters that I really dont see myself ever flying again. I have almost zero confidence in hubsan to the point where I think any flight with there quad's ? is dam near a suicide mission..my little f11 pro's and mjx bugs 20 has 90% more gps reliability than any hubsan.. never again..

      As for weight distribution, I think their is a little but not noticeable. Also remember hubsan actually makes a 5000mha battery for the pro model that attaches with Velcro and sticks out the back. If that’s battery is fine, this one will have no problem.

    Thank you for the many detailed videos on the Zino! After viewing quite a few, I just ordered a Zino Pro+.
    I think the only negative I can see is that Hubsan appears to be limiting the “plus” model to the proprietary 5000mah battery.
    I plan to make some adapters to charge the battery with a balance charger (HTRC T240). Since this charger is a dual, I want to make 2 balance adapters. I noticed one of your videos showed a heavier gauge factory charge adapter that allowed for 3amp charging without heating up. Do you happen to know the part number? Or, where I could obtain one?
    Once again, great tutorials!

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  3 года назад +2

      It’s setup to just take a power supply charge with the board in the battery doing the balancing. It won’t allow you to use a hobby grade charger to balance. Only to use it as a power source. I could be wrong but I tried...

      I am anti-DJI. Had three of them and the last one almost took a swim when the optical flow overrides the gps over water. I was 40 feet away and stick inputs wouldn’t respond over water. Slowly descending at an angle. I lucked out and it finally responded about a foot above bath time.

      @@QCGUY After quite a bit of arguing with Amazon, it appears that I have successfully cancelled the Zino Pro + order. The single unit proprietary battery thing was my primary reason. If a battery goes bad and Hubsan doesn’t have inventory, I have no other sources. Considering the charger does not have an option to balance the pack, batteries will likely fail within a year. Besides, the Amazon seller had quite a number of recent poor reviews (selling returned units, missing parts, etc).
      Refund is supposed to be a few days so, that gives me time to look closer at other units. Looking closer at the Fimi X8 SE. Although, I worry about future batter availability, at least I can charge via a quality balance charger and likely get a couple years plus out of them.

    Great video! Someone needs to rip that circuit out of the battery and see exactly what it is doing. Is it providing a resistance, or a short in unused terminals, is it using a pulse like the new garage door buttons, or actually exchanging serial numbers? I would assume these engineers did not do much and the circuit will be easy to reverse engineer. My first suspicion is that disabling motor arming was done at the app level, and that there is a way to overide it. Wireshark that com link and swap batteries? Im thinking the drone just reports the battery, that there would not be a hardware lockout for several reasons, and that the evil trickery here takes place at the Hubsan app level.. where its always been.. Thats just a guess.. for now everyone with a dead 5k battery needs to post that puppy for sale :) and we can see if they are swappable or battery specific. Based on the tech required I would say its swappable so the old electronics could be moved to a replacement battery..This is a simple circuit more than likely, not enough to stop us from bypassing it but enough for hubsan to sue anyone who tries to clone the battery. Unfortunately this information is sealed within the patent per hubsans request and not public information. It is our duty as hubsan fans to instantly reverse this battery technology before other drone companies follow in their footsteps. I mean who does that??? Apple.. and their chargers!!!

      You seem very passionate about it so??? 🤔
      I sacrifice enough of my shit so unless someone wants to send me some batteries this one won’t be my puzzle to solve.
      It’s easy enough to figure out I’m sure but one thing I won’t be doing is ripping mine apart and playing nutty professor. I have a very good idea of what they have done here and I’ll just call it coded but don’t read too much into that.
      But like I said I’m not going to be ripping into mine. This is why my Zino pro is now flying without a working gimbal and camera after taking it apart several times using its parts to test others sent to me to fix. No more of that shit here!

      @@QCGUY I understand perfectly and you depend on this drone for these great instructional videos! I would have to buy Zino to find out, but the difference is I would gladly rip it apart because I wouldnt be flying it lol but to spend that much to find out? To me, if it arms with the GPS chip ripped out then I would buy it. Most hubsans do.. They go into instant arm mode.. Which also happens to eliminate all failsafes like RTH so a disconnect would result in a lost drone.. Not a great thing for distance runs. I wonder if the Zino would carry the Hubsan 7000mah, would have to solve that battery issue though. THE 7000 IS ABOUT 400 grams.. Huh I could offer to buy dead 5000s lol but there probably arent any yet. Im scared to look at the price new.. Over 100 bucks I bet! If I see a cheap one Ill snipe it. I cant justify spending that much on a drone unless it arms with GPS ripped out. Do me a favor and try that next time its apart? lol Im curious if the option to fly anyway would come up, and if it would actually arm

    Thanks Chris for good hint. You mentioned that you can't fix gimbal on drone. Have you managed to fix it? I think I have the same problem with gimbal. Connecting to Hubsan gimbal tool, gyroscope sensor is not showing any updates and also in the app there is gimbal error 0x1000. I dissasembled my zino and looked for connections problems but didn't find any problems with wiring.

      @QCGUY  3 года назад +2

      Mine is the board. It won’t detect the camera or the gimbal but I finally have one and installed it. Everything works now,
      First you should always check your connectors on the gimbal and your board. If they look good then replace the cable with the correct one for your model.
      If that doesn’t fix it it may be your board or something is corrupt.
      You said you didn’t find any problems but the cable can be bad and look perfectly fine.

    Chris, thanks for this video. I also want to say thanks for your gimbal cable changing video. I just replaced mine using that video, and it went flawlessly. Excellent work! I had this very question within the last couple of days so to shorter flight times. One issue that I am finding, and it seems to be somewhat common, is that the battery strength starts counting down immediately. In addition, there is an error message that says the battery is draining too fast. There are even some videos here where the battery drains to 60%, then immediately drops to 6%. Have you run into this? Some suspect a firmware problem. I'm lucky to get 6 minutes, and the batteries aren't that old. The drone sat for a long time waiting on a new cable. I'm concerned that the 5000 mAH battery will have the same results. Thanks in advance.

      I did some further troubleshooting on this battery drain. The power trickles down at the rate of about 1% per second at first. Even while just hovering. It seems to stop at certain increments and hold. One at 60%, one at 40%. Those 2 are consistent, but there are others. I allowed the battery to drain to zero by hovering 2" off of the ground and bypassing the auto land feature which comes in @ 15, 10, and 5%. Charged it back up from scratch. Same results. I have read in places where they believe it's a firmware issue. Not sure I want to visit that can of worms. I'm going to go with the 5000 mAH battery.
