    @Ptyty from Malaysia as well. My Zino Pro after latest APP update (android), all 3 original 3000 mAh batteries can't fly more than 5 mins. The percentage drops rapidly and had battery warning everytime until 0%. After landing power off and on with same battery it report's 45% - latest updates had an issue with battery indication. Hubson doesn't want us to use aftermarket batteries and their move to change the code which screw's up everything. Can't fly anymore. Almost lost my drone twice. The other issue is USB disconnected without reason. I moving on to Fimi X8 SE.

    Excellent video Chris. My Zino is about two years old. I’ve never updated the firmware. Launched my Zino today and got critical battery warning and the drone literally dropped out of the sky (no damage). Did it twice. I noticed the battery seems to be swollen and fits VERY tight. The battery reading says battery is 88%. Should I buy new battery. Thanks Chris. Keep up the good work.

    Just got a new Zino (from Hubsanus) and it arrived with Firmware V1.2.04, IT 0.3.6 and Gimbal V3.0.2.5. When I downloaded the iOS app for the first time it was version 3.8.4
    Guess what, the "fast drain" message still pops up, almost immediately, with both of the brand new Hubsan Batteries. I guess this new app version did nothing to help the situation. The good news is I am getting a Imax B6 v2 charger to manage my batteries and have 2 GIFIs on order.

    ok ive had my zino pro for a couple of months now . as far as expectations on the pro as a drone . i love it . i have had it do the 4km , with video running upto 2 km ,"i was getting a few flickers near high tension wires " but wow . i havnt seen many 2km videos on here so i was impressed . now in saying how wrapped i am in the drone . the firmware is shitting me to tears .after a few flights , its like the firmware wears out . then i start getting all the annoying messages . abnormal battery use . no usb connection . etc etc , i tried to roll back the firmware on the camera as suggested . but never had any luck . so i just used the newest firmware again . took it flying . went well . battery lasted without warning until 45% . no disconnected warnings . for a few flights . then next flight went back to crap .. ive contacted zino several times , with no reply . they are THE worst business ive tried to deal with . considering their customers are high money spenders . you'[d think they have time for us and try to help us out ..
    Chris , i will try those batteries when i can afford them . i'd like to try the 5000m/h batteries to for longer flight time .
    i just cant see why hubsan cant make one program for the zeno pro that works .. due to the faults in their firmware and batteries .(i know chris , you havnt lost a quad yet ) , but ive come close . i was almost 3km away and my battery power was dropping from 78% down to 50 % by the second . i was watching it drop . next thing she tells me she bringing it home . , now as you know , ive seen most of your videos lol . sometimes auto home isnt a good idea by where you took off from . so i thought ok . auto home untill its in sight then ill take over ... didnt even get in sight when she says . landing now . ohhhh noooooo . . so i cancel it , start to climb to get height back , so i can keep going forward , (landing now ) shit . cancel . climb , forward , (landing now ) next thing i s my drone too low to clear a tree n bang . big hit . walk 200 meters lol . props fukt lol one arm loose . and broke gimbal . "camera sti8ll works tho . " but wripped that gimbal wire "tape " straight off . apparently i cant just replace the gimbal , i need to get the camera attached . 120 au dollars . props are cheap 3 bucks . arm 15 bucks . all because of the dumb arse firmware or battery .. worst stack ive actually had was flipping over when i hit some grass landing once . but now my drone looks like its been to war lol . and hubsan couldnt care less .

So I turned around to come back from 2 km. The thing was dropping by the second. I thought no way I’ll make it back. 500 meters to go. The battery said zero. But it made it back The Zuni battery usage lies something bad. Obviously to get me to buy new batteries. So I will. But not zinos. For something so much fun. They know how to ruin it.

    The voltage reading on my zino (or the app) seems off. It says the voltage is 4200v then dropped to 700v and keeps repeating but the battery percentage seems to be doing its job just fine. I measured the battery voltage with my multimeter and it seems fine (11.4v at 20% last time i checked). I thought this was caused by the battery, so i swapped it with another battery and it's still doing the same thing. I updated the firmware as you said in this video. My question is, why is the app displaying the wrong voltage?
    edit : just found out the answer, it was a firmware issue. i updated the firmware to 1.2.08 (it was 1.1.52) and it seems to display the correct voltage now

Then i look at videos there people try range test with Zino i can see 0% left and about 10.2v left. This means that you properly can fly for 2-3 more minutes 🙂 Maybe battery will be damage after a while?

    I have one 4200 battery that drops very quickly then reads 0% (with seriously low warnings) around 12 minutes of flight. when I bring it back to the charger 3.96 3.94 3.95v. If I power the zino up again. The app reads 60% charge. My other 4200 is still performing easy 25 minute flights with no warnings. Whats causing this and how do I salvage this seemingly good battery?

    Hello Chris , thank you for your excellent content on the Zino series of drones. Can you clarify something for me please? I am expieriencing the battery draining quickly scenario with my Zino Pro. My battries are all perfect as i check the cells regularly . I am running up to date app and firmware versions. Which android app version should i revert back to? and is it also neccessary to revert back to the firmware version you refer to, ie 1.1.52 , or is this only applicable to the original Zino and not the Pro version. Is it the App thats the problem or is a combination of App and firmware?
    Also just as a side note, im one of the many people who have cancelled their Zino 2 order from Gearbest. Dont get me started on that. I will definately pick one up, but will leave it for a while until the teething problems are sorted.Thanks again. I watch all your videos and of course ive subscribed long ago.

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +2

      For the pro you don't have much to revert back to as it is not so old and you want to be on the latest or no older then the versions prior to that which I would need to look up to tell you but it is applicable for the pro just like the original with the difference being you don't have anything good to go back to. I know my batteries and I ignore the app for the most part which I think most are doing as well so it's useless in my opinion.

      @@QCGUY Thank you very much for your reply. I have been ignoring the battery warnings also. Like yourself , i find it annoying. I think i will experiment a little and go back maybe two versions of the App just to see how it reacts. I will leave the firmware alone. Thanks again Chris and keep up the good work. P.S. I have ordered the Gifi 4200 mah battery from China. Who knows how long it will take to arrive as the coronavirus has disrupted everything. This is trivial in the scheme of things,as the effect the virus is having on peoples health is much more serious . Its starting to take hold here in Ireland now also.

      Are they giving you a choice to update? So far everyone has been forced so it all depends once you connect it all. I do recommend you do a horizontal calibration on a flat level surface. Compass calibration before you fly for the first time but not till you are where you are going to fly.

      Regardless of Common Sense RC having good batteries or not, they don't make any with the hard shell around them to fit the Zino, so you'd be forced to try and modify a different style battery pack to use with the Zino. Chris has done such a mod before, but I doubt most Zino owners would go that direction unless they have a very hard time getting a Hubsan Zino original battery or one of the Gifi batteries. Chris, I'm pretty sure the company Keith refers to is www.commonsenserc.com/

      Aidan Prucher25 First you need to make sure you don’t have a battery going bad. The center cell is usually the first to go and causes a sudden drop which gives you this message to help you.
      Problem is it gives false warnings as well.
      Test other batteries and check your cells while it’s charging if you have a good hobby grade charger.
