  • I KEPT THIS VIDEO SHORT AND TO THE POINT SO I DO HOPE YOU WILL WATCH IT ALL AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE CAMERA GOING INTO THE SUN.
    FILTERS WILL HELP THIS SITUATION AND ARE NEED GOING INTO THE SUN BUT THIS WAS PRETTY BAD. I HAVE ONE MORE TO UPLOAD AND WILL BE PUTTING OUT AS MUCH FLIGHTS AS POSSIBLE SO STAY TUNED AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

    Hubsan has come a long way. Nice range test. Only thing is you could have gone farther if you headed straight out, if it has flat panel antennas like the other Zinos. Probably wouldn't have enough battery to get home. When you were way out there, your quad was at a 45 degree angle to you. When you turned completely perpendicular, you lost signal. Very impressive even though the antennas were not aligned. Hopefully I will get mine soon.

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +1

      CLTech If you pay attention to the terrain as you did the in the screen recording I would have lost it sooner by your suggestion.
      The path I choose keeps me between mountains till I get so far and then the path of least resistance is turning right because of the mountains passed earlier on the left.
      I have to pretty much do the same thing in using my other quads but maybe you didn’t notice that the elevation was different and raising the altitude would have been the only other choice. 👍

      CLTech Hey bud, I paid more attention to this today and it is definitely not accurate anyhow.
      Some times it was correct and others it had me pointing at 2 o’clock while it was clearly at 12 o’clock so maybe I need to calibrate it or check the location of my device for accuracy first next time. Something to keep an eye on 👍

      Roy Harper Take it in baby steps learning what you can do with what battery you have, how much is left on return and know those wind speeds and direction.

      @@QCGUY Thanks Chris, I see the wisdom in your advice. Before I fly I always check the UAV Forecast app as well as Dark Sky weather app for wind speed & direction. Going forward I'll more closely monitor the battery.
      I feel I've been taking baby steps, having decided not to do videos until I was comfortable flying and being aware of where the drone is. I am working on doing videos now. My goal is to get good enough to do good videos of lighthouses.
      My favorite hobby is visiting & photographing lighthouses. Doing videos of them adds another dimension to the photography. Then I share the photos thru my FB Page devoted to lighthouses, realizing most lighthouse enthusiasts will never get to see some of the lighthouses I visit.

      Sadly, lens flair is not a software or firmware issue.
      Flair is created inside the lens by their construction (common in multi lens systems) and optical coatings.
      I doubt we will see Hubsan address the camera design, so we will fall back to polarized filters or maybe a form of lens hood to mitigate it.

    Good test Chris and impressive distance and decent flight time considering in to the breeze on outbound run. When you lost the signal and it went in to hover it seemed to lose some altitude on several occasions, which was a bit of a concern. Totally agree with your observations on the camera. It will be interesting to see if messing about with the settings can improve this or whether its down to the actual quality of the lens.

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +2

      Paddy Stubbs Thanks, there is a difference in elevation from one end to the other so it does look as though it drops once off the water.
      The camera is going to need a little firmware tweaking, manual adjustments and most likely a hood and filters but I think the camera is not so well made lens wise.
      Everything I read spells out cheap non coated lens. A corner you don’t cut on a camera quad.

    Solid presentation as always! As for the Z2: Specs look great for this "budget drone", but kind of coming through as an "under-achiever?" Hoping firmware can improve imaging, but thinking this is mostly hardware related. (OR, possibly the one you're flying has a camera "defect." ~ Had first seen the marketing imagery Hubsan created, and it looked crystal clear. And of course, it's wintertime, so not a lot of color to work with etc.) That being said, if imagery can't be improved, @ $499 I'd find it difficult to not go with a Mavic Mini Fly More combo instead. Granted, you get significantly better distance & supposedly better flight time with the Z2..... But not easy to overlook the 4k camera which appears to be a noticeable disappointment in comparison to the Mini's 2.7K. (Who would have expected that? ~ I didn't.)

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +1

      No defect here...I did the second camera and it's the same. Cheap lens with no coating is most likely it. I could edit like most?

    • @RWTupper
      @RWTupper 4 года назад

      QC GUY that is a bummer. Five bucks more in the lens it would’ve been a winner. That being said I think people had expectations that this drone might be in a class closer to a DJI. Probably even more so due to the gimbal and how nice the video is on Mavic Mini. Nobody (including Hubsan) said this was a professional grade drone anyways. So were all our expectations too high? Irrespective, a classic case of “specifications being only specifications.”

Quick question sir, i noticed that when you got "Aircraft Disconnected" message on your phone's FPV starting at 8:00, the Height and Distance indicators stopped. Unlike Fimi X8 SE based on my experience, when FPV video stops (totally black) due to long range, the H & D indicators still work so when drone starts heading back to base or RTH, I know that the drone is moving. On Zino 2, does it show movement on H & D indicators at all on the built-in RC display when you got disconnected? Cheers mate!

    Thanks for weathering the cold, this is really informative work! We seem to have yet another case of a de-centered lens here (Chad B and Blueskyver units have the same issue). The center portion of the image is out of focus (a good example can be seen at exactly 9.00 in the video, where the trees across the middle are sharp towards the edges of the frame, but soft in the center (watching at full rez on a 4K monitor). This video appears overall slightly softer than some other examples out there - was this shot at default sharpening settings (3)? The lens flare is pretty nuts - somebody was talking about making a custom sunshade for it. Should I get mine before the superflu wipes us all out, I might try that.

    I'm pretty impressed with that flight...I know flying out you reported flight level 400 feet but once it was past that second reservoir near the highway just as it paused you didn't seem to be more then 150 to 200 above the treetops....Bet if you maintained a full 400 feet hight at that end the Zino could of gone further in distance....My one question would be what percent was your battery at touchdown?

      @QCGUY  4 года назад +1

      Ron Levesque On Facebook Yes true but for RUclips purposes god forbid anyone see you at a high altitude reading when truly you aren’t.
      It changes drastically in this area so that is a definite issue and your the first to actually catch on to that.
      I need to look at the screen recording but I had a good bit of battery left. Enough to continue flying for some other footage not published yet.

    It would be great a camera comparison between fimi x8, mavic mini and zino 2 D:... in paper zino 2 claims to be better, but now I’m not really sure... I ordered this drone 2 months ago, but now I’m starting to think if I should cancel it and buy something else, for example if autel Evo can give me a better quality (build, camera, controller, etc) for the price I can go for it, but if there is not a big difference with zino 2 I can keep waiting for it... what do you suggest me?

    When you landed, you had both antennae straight up. Did you try angling the antennae inwards at longer range, and did it make any difference to the FPV signal?

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +1

      I adjust then all angles when signal is weak. No difference there but the issue is the elevation rises at the other end and I don't usually climb in altitude. That will help though....

    Hi Chris any help or advice greatly welcomed. Flown many drones so am experienced. Bought a new Zino 2+ but even in the middle of nowhere the video feed to my phone starts breaking up at over 500 mtrs and lose picture completely between 1km - 1.5km. On returning i never regain the picture to phone even when still flying at 5 mtrs away. The video is great on my SD card, but i bought this drone for long range flights, so if you can not see where your going i have to return. Drone is not much better than a WIFI drone the way it is. Flown it 4 times and always hand launch and land my drones so not ever had a bad landing. So any idea's you have would be great. Thanks in advance, John

    When trying to reach its maximum range, is it more efficient to run it in sport mode or normal mode? Or will it expend it’s battery at the same rate for the distance it’s traveling?

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  3 года назад +1

      All depends on conditions for most of your battery usage but there isn't a big difference in usage for a range flight between modes. I don't know just how much one will use up over the other but can get my max range in either mode and make it back.

      Have you test phone at first? Is everything working fine? Are you pleased with it? Does the update offer you anything that you feel you have to have? In the update screen to the left it will tell you what that update is about. Read that and decide if it’s just minor changes which I usually advise people to to pass on or if it holds some great features you have to have.
      Just one update from a company known for flawed updates can end it for you. Always remember that 👍🏻

      When I caught it it had 1% and just dropped to 0% before turning it off. Cold temps and a little wind add into the use of battery percentage but that wasn’t bad at all. This was before Hubsan screwed up the battery meter between app and quad so now most are forced to land thinking they have very little battery when they actually really have much more if hooked up to a meter.
