Chris, I used your video for inspiration, but instead of cutting and modding the Hubsan cable, I just modded the 3S extension. Working on just the extension was quite easy. Since the extension does not have a sheath, I only had to cut the Pos and Neg wires and leaving the inner two wires completely intact.
same conclusion why cut all u just looking for the + n -
goseup It’s just one of many ways I show how to do this. I show different ways and methods in 3 different videos.
Thanks for posting this very detailed, including soldering the battery, mod for the Zino.
Oh by the way. I did purchase the case for the Zino you showed. Now it looks like I'll be purchasing a charger and sharpening up my soldering skills
Daniel It’s a pretty good case but better if you trim the foam a little for the quad and batteries. If you don’t own a hobby grade balance charger like the type Im using your missing out. Make sure it charges LiHV batteries and soldering is very easy if you just use the right stuff and know how to use the iron. You weren’t the Dan I was referring to by the way. lol
Very good mod Chris. By the way congratulations on your 1000 subscribers 👏
luis manchego Thank you 🙏
There is always a risk of short circuit if we connect the battery first by mistake. I understand why you have wrapped the red cable in plastic. I have made the cable like that one but replaced that banana plug with XT60 just for peace of mind.
Well my Zino finally arrived at my door this evening. I opened up the box, took a look and put it away. I must be honest, I'm a little hesitant at getting started with this thing. As previously stated I'm really new to drones and quite the novice. So now that I hear It needs new updates, that's another hurdle I must approach. It would be great if you might give a tutorial on how to update, for us newbies. I would much appreciated it, if you might find it possible. Thanks for all you do for the community of flyers.
Daniel I made a video while updating mine but now it’s not able to connect and start so it’s dead at the moment.
I will post a update video and I have lots to say in a follow up video about it overall.
Thanks I look forward to it. What make and model is the charger you are using. Oh by the way lets keep this on the down low. My wife doesn't know yet the Christmas present I got myself. @@QCGUY
@@daniel050-G27LOL I won't tell! It's a iMax B6 V2 a.co/d/3tJaKax
@@QCGUY Thanks as always
awesome video! very informative and entertaining! keep em coming.
Thanks for posting this. I don’t have a Zino, but I recently purchased a Bugs4w, which comes with its own plug in USB charger. It takes like 4 hours to charge !
I’m hoping for someone to come up with a “socket” type connector like the Zino has , for the Bugs4, that way I can mod it and use my SkyRC B6 to charge it. The way the Bugs charger is made, there’s no way I can storage charge my Bugs battery either. Anybody out there have any info on a cable/socket adapter or come up with their own mod for Bugs4 ? Thanks for all the info in this video and thanks for posting it !
djwak59 Good luck and hopefully someone will answer here for you. I don’t have that quad personally.
thank you for the reply I will get one very soon.
Actually , the two extreme pins + and - are strapped inside the zino on the power board i mean 1 and 2 , 5 and 6
Hello. I have a drone H122D Hi and a stick trimmer on a rudder not in the center, and drone not start motor. How to trim a rudder stick or start the calibration of remote control sticks on H122D?
Yuriy Govallo search stick calibration and it’s the same as any hubsan standard transmitter.
How important are the balance chargers? My Hubsan is on its way and I have seen a few videos saying their batteries have arrived unbalanced. Are they worth the £20?
PC-Gamerz-UK I highly recommend a balance charger and one that allows you to put the batteries in storage mode with the compatibility to charge LiHV batteries.
Hubsan chargers shorten battery life in my opinion.
@@QCGUYI was looking at the same one you have as I know this will work. They are currently £20 on e-bay. I have watched a lot of your videos and with the most recent updates etc I have decided to purchase one with x2 bats. I think the distance in travel up to 2.5k is measured without recording and up to 1k mark whilst recording. Hopefully we will get more distance soon But saying that Im going to be happy with 1k as this is my first drone. Keep up the good work you do..New Sub ^_^

Make sure it's the Imax B6 V2. Don't fall for the clones that are cheap in price.
Thanks for your support! If you would like to get the latest deal on it you can join my rc hobby shopper group.
Thank you Chris I just recently purchase the Zino to add to my hubsan collection I'm going to do this modification to my cable... with these smaller wires is it okay to do a faster 3 amp charge ?
moto matt yes 3 amp is a perfectly good setting and fine with this mod or just adding the extension in my part 3 video.
Thank you so much Chris and after just a couple flights on the Zino I see I still like the 501 jeans better they are more stable and just feel more reliable just like you say
Well done bro!! Kinda got the idea with your first vid but admittedly I was hoping for a follow up as I'm a complete noob with soldering techniques. Thanks again I'm sure many will appreciate the update.
I wonder can you tell me if you updated the firmware for zino an your opinion on results? Cheers
Phil byrne I have and Videoed it as well but have not tested it yet. Are you in my group? I made a update change log and it shows things Hubsan has not reported in their update change log. Some of the update information from others is starting to surface in the group as well.
Thanks by the way! lol 👍
@@QCGUY hey I think I just subscribed to your you tube channel recently.
Received zino 4 days ago. With all neg reviews I'm kinda concerned about updating?? I have opened up the box though.lol
Phil byrne I was referring to my FB Group. The link is under the video window and its the same name as this channel. You should join if you haven’t already. 👍
@@QCGUY will do thanks bud I think???? Or maybe I should just dig my head in the sand. Lol
Hi chris, can you also do video for ZINO 2 battery..pls..pls..pls..
Coron Tours Im trying to figure a few things out but time is not my friend right now.
thank you
Can I use the standard zino one charger to charge the 4200 gifi also will it charge three batteries at once with an adaptor please..👍
Sure can buddy 👍
@@QCGUY ok m8 I got a 20 watt B3 coming bit more power can I hook up a 3 way charging cable to it or even the standard one yea..?
@@abitofeverything2254 I’m not a fan of it personally but when in my group do a search and you will find some good rules of thumb and advice. 👍
I have followed your instructions and modded my charge cable but when I hook it up to my HTRC T206 it doesn't work well. When I try to get the resistance the charger says that the battery is not connected and when I do get it to charge it gets to a point where number one cell is showing 4.99v and the other two is 4.27v where it gets stuck and starts looping back and forth discharge a little and charge a little.
I let it go for a hour and a half before giving up and using the Hubsan charger.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Greg Pittman I suspect you missed a connection with a wire because I’ve made 2 of these and other various ones just fine. I would look into the wires again.
I have checked them with a meter and it says that it is good. I only cut the black and red ones and the charger is a T240 not a T206. Could it be the charger? It's new and was bought for lihv or should I just resolder? Thanks so much for your time and help.
@@Greg_Pittman I don't know anything about those chargers but it still sounds to me like you have a poor connection even though your meter tells you differently. You said it will tell you it's not connected one time and then the other it connects but doesn't do a good balance. I would go back in and check everything for full connections.
Thanks for your help. I have redone everything making sure of good connection and the charger does the same thing but the Zino charger has no problem so I'm thinking it's the charger.
@@Greg_Pittman I would agree based on process of elimination
Nice video , you better had to remove more of the main insulation, that you can push the shrinkable further...this kind of flux is used by the plombers
You use and do what you have to work with at the time. I am well stocked up and ready should I have another similar video to put out. Thanks
@@QCGUY i like your croc clamps it should be very useful to me , my hands are now shaking a lot.
@@francoisBonin-phils They do come in handy.
good morning the charger loads battery lipo 11,4volt???
drone ZINO GR LiHV settling will give you 11.4 and Lipo setting will give you 11.1.
the battery zino They are LiHV Lipo?????
I'm sorry I never saw this comment......Yes they are but you must know that after all this time. Very sorry!
hi. i lost my usb cable that connect the controller with the phone. Do you know if a not original cable will works? and what specs have to
facebook.com/groups/HubsanQC
The wires of the original cable are very thin. What is the max. charging current with this cable? (Zino)
For that size wire which is either 22AWG or 24AWG I suspect it will warm the wires up at about 5AMPS which is right around the max for those I suspect. Charging the ZINO at 3AMP the wires remain cool but these are definitely not the type of cable quality you want to leave unattended while charging for sure.
@@QCGUY That's why I asked 😊
Thanks for the Answer
@@QCGUY either 22AWG or 24AWG is more than sufficient!
David Cash I’ll disagree in this case. These are not your typical 24AWG.
Sufficient in charging the ZINO batteries but cut and splice them then compare them to 24AWG wires we normally see. Im sure they will warm below their max rating so this is why Im disagreeing. Cheap low grade soft insulated Chinese crap!
Sounds like it isn't 24AWG then. You can get 26, 28, even 30 stranded wire! Only a micrometer will tell you what it is. Even then, it will probably be some metric size!
can you help me preparing the cables...I have poor soldering skills and no equipment
A. Palermo Im loading a video soon with a alternative way to do this with no soldering.
How many cell's is the zino battery ?
3
@@QCGUY then i supposed that you only can check the whole batt. as one cell. And not each cell, and that's what the meaning of balance is. ?
frits183 no you can check each cell off the connector with a meter or a cell checker.
16:51, see the spark!
LOL....I think you saw a glare reflection off the led lighting I had pointed directly at it from my right side. Good eye's though! Took me a few times to see what you were talking about.
@@QCGUYnope:) No glare reflection. Its actually at 16:50 to be exact. On the first pin on my right side as the viewer, There is a spark and a electric sound when you try to connect the bat to the charger ^_^ I have good ears also..hehe
@@PCG2022 I know what and when you are referring to in the video. If you say it's a spark then I'm not going to argue or disagree.
This cable has been used quite a bit without issue but I will check it out to be safe. Thanks
It's called a Third Hand...
Do you have a link for the charger you show?
facebook.com/groups/qcguysdeals/search/?query=IMAX%20B6&epa=SEARCH_BOX
Can you give the right settings of the Imax B6AC v2 charger ?
facebook.com/groups/HubsanQC/
The battery charger you have and are using in this video. Can it be used for all drone type batteries? Is it a good charger? or do they have better models? thank you
Roy Howdyshell Yes it covers a good variety of batteries and is very good because it does LiHV Lipo batteries which the ZINO, Jet, Storm and some of Hubsans other models now have. Search iMax B6 V2 Genuine. Don’t fall for the low priced knock off.
I also have the same charger. Luckily it is legit. Really easy to use even for a beginner.
