- Yup, we went rogue...er drone.
Here's a quick shoutout to @CAPTAINDRONE798 for his excellent work covering this segment of the drone market. His material helped me zero in on the finalists. He also listed the equipment he uses to make his videos which is where I got the idea to get a digital recorder and external mic. So keep up the great work @CAPTAINDRONE798!
If you want to download and print the prop storage clips I made, they're available on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:403...
Hubsan US is still running the special on this drone if you're interested. www.hubsanus.com/shop/zino-pr...
For clarity's sake: I'll be using this at the RC field to film RC planes.
Stay tuned for first flight and aerial footage...coming soon!

Finally you've made me decide what to buy. Thanks for that clear explanation and I really agree to your points. Btw, Zino 2 is coming soon with 4k 60fps.
Rod Nolasco Awesome! I’m glad I could help. There are so many entrants out there and so many good choices it really takes an effort to decide what it is you want first.
I’m very happy I could help. I’ve been flying this drone quite a bit and aside from USB Disconnects on iPhone, it’s been spectacular. I use an Android (Oneplus 7 Pro) for the app due to the USB disconnect issue and it works perfectly.
I did hear about the v2 from another viewer. I’ll be anxious to hear how it performs.
Good luck with your drone.

@@RCVideoReviews Have you gone thru all the usb cables that came stock with the drone and taken a razor blade or whatever you may have that's effectively sharp at cutting silicone/plastic; and cut the little bulges / nubs on the side of each connector hookup? The little nubs cause the cables to not seat correctly on various phones and I've discovered the cutting off of the nubbs takes care of it 99% of the time for every OS and type of device being used. GOODLUCK!
@@yourtubernoob The only phone that gave me issues is the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I did cut the nubs off that USB cable and it still gives USB disconnect errors. The Oneplus 7 Pro works fine--no disconnects.
@@RCVideoReviews Hell yes bro that's awesome to hear! And well I already know why then from right when you said iPhone, Apple is the horrid evil destroyer of drones and our spirits for anything that's even remotely enjoyable lmao Android all day every day FTW!! 💯💯😋👍
@@yourtubernoob Hard to find faults with this drone paired to a OP7 Pro. After flying it for a few months the only real gripe I have is that I wish it were a little faster. Otherwise, it's become a very reliable addition to my video recording capabilities.
I like the prop clips. That is very smart. I will be printing them out for mine.
You find them on thingiverse ok?
I printed a set. Perfect!
Works great, looks great.
It does!
Loved your review, great help exactly what I was looking for why I'm going to buy this one.
Awesome! Mine still flies great. The only issue I've encountered with it is if I land it manually, sometimes it disagrees and "re-lands" itself. Anytime I've used the auto-launch/land button it lands perfectly. Otherwise--it's been ridiculously reliable.
Nicely done! Thank you
You're welcome.
Great Job!
Thanks for the visit and comment.
I just ordered the propeller protection printing to a local printer. Thanks for the pattern! 😃👍🏻
Hope you enjoy it!
@@RCVideoReviews Hubsan Zino Pro is my first drone. I've never flown before and I'm researching as many things as I can. Tomorrow I'm going for protection and on Saturday I hope to take off for the first time. Thanks for the answer, so I subscribe 😉
Nice one mate great review on it don 🤠🇬🇧👌👌👌👍
Thanks for the comment. Glad you found it useful.

Great video, I just ordered this one an hour ago. I’ll contact you to see if the clips are still available. Thank you for your service and if you have a significant half thank them because they hold down the fort for our service people
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it. I'll let her know :)
Hi, did you encounter pairing issue with the controller or entering bind mode? Coz according to the instruction, you have to press power button 3x and the front and rear LED lights will blink. Mine doesn't blink at all. the red led light still steady after pressing. It doesn't pair at all. :(
None that I recall.
Can you use the 5000 Mah batteries from the Zino 2 on the Zino Pro ?
I believe they do fit but I haven't looked into it. I get about 17m of flight time and that's enough for my use case.
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?
Prakash Chandra Radio range is attributable to a small handful of factors: Antenna Design, Tx Power, and Wavelength. There are no discernible differences in antenna design. They’re using the same wavelength. So to achieve the increased range the only possibility I’m aware of is increased tx power. Increased tx power will help with obstacle penetration to an extent. Be aware of the drone behavior in the event of lost signal though. It may want to climb and return home. If it is below a certain altitude it may climb first then return or climb and return simultaneously. If you’re amongst trees that could be bad.
My Zino only flying for 8 mins, will a 6500 mah battery fix it?
Sir is this zino can fly like the autel Evo which they advertised like fly it anywhere?..I'm thinking of getting mavic mini over the zino pro but I live on the edge of the authorization zone (blue circle) the dji regulations..
I am not aware of any location restrictions in Zino software. I also do not login to their site so my flight logs do not get uploaded anywhere as far as I know.
good to know that..thanks
@@timothy1837 You're welcome :)
Which drone did you get?
In the Hubsan website I see both Regular Zino and Zino Pro the model number is same H117S ? And also controller is HT016B? 😀It should be different right? For aircraft I can differentiate by seeing the Pro name on it.But how to differentiate the controller?
I don't know the answer. I just bought the pro and they sent me the correct controller. What is the nature of the question? If you order the Pro you should get the correct controller.
RC Video Reviews actually I am trying to buy it from Chinese online store.So from the seller I asked for package list for Zino and Zino Pro.The package looks exactly same.So I wanted to know the visible difference of the controller .
Prakash Chandra Ahh, I understand. Unfortunately since I didn’t shop for or consider the Zino (only the Zino Pro) I only know what the pro looks like. If I recall correctly, the Zino is white and the Zino Pro is black. That might help.
Hi, is the Zino Pro camera 8m pixels? are the still shots impressive?
Pictures from the Zino Pro are 4068x2592. Here is a link to a picture I took indoors under low light with lots of detail. Anything taken outdoors with better light should look better: rcvideoreviews.com/hzp-pic.JPG
Can the follow function be used to follow a plane? That's the feature I really want.
I really don't think it's fast enough for that. I've watched the follow functions on multiple different YT channels and it seems the best you can expect it to do is follow a brisk walk. I believe it uses a combination of visual information and the GPS location of the controller to follow.
Following RC planes would absolutely be the killer app for people like us though. I'd like to be able to put a token RFID chip in my plane and have the drone stay within 20' of it.
@@RCVideoReviews I think I would be happy if it hovered at the same height as the plane and just rotated to keep it in frame. The price is soo good on this one that I might give a try anyway.
Yeah, I've been thinking about how this plays out in practice because I intend on using it to get additional views of my RC planes in-flight. I covered a few idea in the video and I'm considering with three methods:
1) Putting it in motion to keep pace in some fashion with the plane. i.e. What you suggested--Hover, rotate.
2) Keeping it static and flying the plane in front of the camera. i.e. Park it over the center of the runway at 50', aim it at the threshold and land the plane normally.
3) Hover at 150' at one corner of the flying area and go for the panoramic view in 4k, then capturing interesting segments in post using digital zoom.
I got into the app and got familiar with their waypoints implementation which might present some options as well. You can set individual waypoints and a single point of interest. I suspect the POI will remain the focal point of the camera during the waypoint mission.
Keep checking on the channel. I'll be working on the in-flight footage after I put in some stick time with the drone.
Take it easy...

Thank you for this nice review.
Which one is better zino 2 or zino pro ?
Am planning to purchase one soon .
Still am not sure
It depends on what you consider requirements and the price you're willing to pay. $399 for the Pro, $591 for the 2 is about a $200 difference. Here is a nice chart showing the capabilities of each: www.firstquadcopter.com/news/zino-pro-vs-zino-2/
What I know first hand: The Pro has done everything I've asked it to do perfectly well. 4k60 would be the only thing I would really like but none of my other other cameras shoot 4k60 anyway, so it doesn't matter that much.
Ever had any problems with the aircraft connecting with the controller?
I have not. So far, this quad has been pretty darn good. I still fly it.
Did you order the extreme bundle??
Im not sure. I have two batteries and an extra set of props. Is that the extreme bundle?
Sorry, can I use this drone for flighting indoor, please ? Thanx--A--
That largely depends on how good a drone pilot you are. It doesn’t have any non-GPS based pilot assist options like optical flow or radar. So you’re on your own. In a small indoor space I wouldn’t advise it. If you have some room and are a competent pilot on the sticks, go for it.
Thanks for the video - I appreciate your insights. I also really am intrigued by the Blade Clips you used to protect the blades. I tried the link yoiu offered, but it looks like that will only help me if I have a 3d Printer, which I don't. Honestly, I think this is a cool product and would be of interest to anyone who owns a foldable drone like the zino. Anyway I can buy a set from you ? Let me know - whatever yoiui think is a fair price is fine with me - thanks again for the great video.
Richard Bascom Thank you for the nice comments about the video. I don’t charge for the clips but do ask for postage. Email me: john (at) rcvideoreviews [dot] com and we can make arrangements. It’s about $8 for US delivery.
@@RCVideoReviews I sent an email to you earlier today but wasn't sure if you received it or if it went to y our spam folder ? Let me know how you want me to send the Shipping Fees - rpbascom at gmail dot com.
thanks my friend.
Do we have to register to FAA? Do we need permission to fly according to law? I am new in this one and want to buy but don't know much about drone.
This one is over 250g so it is subject to UAS regulations.
@@RCVideoReviews Thanks for reply. I enjoy your video.
@@Just_a_normal_guy11 YOu're very welcome.
What kind of airport are you talking about?
RC planes at an RC field on an RC channel called RC video reviews.
@@RCVideoReviews Ok. Thanks for the video 😄.I recently bought a Hubsan Zino Pro and the only problem I've been having has been with the USB-C cable connecting my android to the controller which sometimes disconnects. Do you know if this cable can be bought at Best Buy? Ordering from Hubsan is a nightmare.
Thanks again.
Hi did they change the speed then ? Every other review struggle to get past 18mph their web site says 22mph. You still recommend this drone?
I don’t think it flies over about 20mph. I have been 100% satisfied with the performance of this drone. I would buy it again in a second.
Zino version two coming up
I heard about that. Since this one checked my requirements I moved ahead. No idea how long before b2 though. Do you know?
First, yes you need more lights! Second, what the heck was that green dot on your finger? lol
I hope the video plans with the drone work out, it sounds like you should get some great shots.
One of the battery stickers jumped clean off that battery onto my finger during filming. Of course I didn't see it until near the end of the video.
Looking at lights right now. The top down light is good. The side lighting needs help.
I went outside a little while ago and flew it for a few minutes. I wouldn't call it a maden per se because I really just hovered and tested RTH. Forgot how much I missed flying quads. I should have some fun with this thing.
Any chance I can buy the prop clips from you?
If you have a 3D printer, I've made the clips available on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4036111

@@RCVideoReviews trying to email wont take email address
@@Jocky20201 You must have figured it out because I just replied to you via email. :)
Hi I just received my Hobson pro 3 days ago I'm having a hard time connecting the controller to my phone which is a Google Pixel 3 a large I have followed every single step suggested by Hobson with no luck and watched some new RUclipsrs suggestions and nothing I am very frustrated I don't know if my controller is bad or if I'm the one the wrong thing please help I'll really appreciate it thank you
You have to start eliminating possible problems. The first thing to do is try connecting it to a different phone. If that works then you can focus on your phone. If that doesn’t work then you can focus on your controller.
Make sure all cables are fully seated too.
Thank you
You're welcome.
Is this drone picky as to what Android Phones work with it - like the DJI Mavic Mini does? (what a nightmare!!!)
I can't answer that question fairly because I've only tried it with two phones: Oneplus 7 Pro--works flawlessly. iPhone 11 Pro Max --constant USB disconnect errors.
Looking forward to see what you can do with this new equipment!
Here is the first honest crack at it. I'll keep learning and working on the videography skills with the drone. This was a LOT of fun: ruclips.net/video/UVf4bya4gYs/видео.html
Why didn't you go for the DJI Mavic Mini?
I believe DJI collects data and I don't like my drone telling me when I can and cannot fly.
Great commentary, just bought one. Re. the prop locks did you 3d print them?
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed mine so far. It has been earning my trust in terms of reliability and predictability. I’ve used it for several flight videos and it has performed flawlessly. I hope you have fun with yours.
Yes, I designed and printed the prop clips. They’re available on Thingiverse here:
www.thingiverse.com/thing:4036111
@@RCVideoReviews I found them after I posted the comment, they are just about finished in nice warning red PETG!
@@MrFatlab Very cool! I printed a couple extra and throw them in the side net bag just in case I lose or break one. They've held up very well and I use them after every flight. Glad to know they're being used.
Great video ! Just be careful droning close to runways and aircrafts (not allowed in Canada)
Only RC airfields. I would NEVER fly a toy near a real airport. Ever.
It's looks like you were missing a cable in your pack, you should have had 3 short cables to attach transmitter to you phone - usb c, micro usb, and lightning cable and then a longer micro usb cable to charge transmitter.
Regarding proprietary batteries it's very easy to solder a connector to use non proprietary lipos as it's not an intelligent battery as they call them.
At 1:40 I called it a usb mini. Meant to say micro. Anyway, the charging cable is there.
I put a video up showing how to make a pigtail for charging on a standard charger here: ruclips.net/video/Uryp7DonsrM/видео.html
Don't run out and buy the Zino-2, just because it's "new". It takes several months to work out the firmware and sometimes hardware bugs. I am especially leery of potential problems with the first generation detachable camera. 4k 60fps video is no reason to go out and buy a first run product.
I'm right there with you. Sage advice.
Zino 2 is being released in 2 weeks and has 4k@60fps.
I heard about that. How much are they asking for the new one?
@@RCVideoReviews I have it sitting in my cart at gearbest.com. total for 2 batteries, and bag is like $479. 1 battery is like 400.
TheBigb1973 Let me know when you get it. Interested to hear how it works. I’ve been shocked at how good this drone does its work. I’ve only had one issue so far related to iPhone. I get USB. Disconnects. Android is flawless. Technology in these things is just stunning nowadays.
@@RCVideoReviews go here and skip ahead to 17:50 he tells you how to fix that.

THANK YOU! I googled this and didn't find much. I've already cut those ears off. Next time I fly, I'll try it. Fortunately I have a Oneplus 7 Pro and that has worked flawlessly.
I like your review of the Hubsan Zino Pro, because of it I purchased one and received it yesterday, with a few Item missing from the purchased invoiced, I emailed Hubsan company with no interest in they part to rectify and replace the missing Items, I will let Ebay sort this out with Hubsanus company, I can not in all my hart recommend the Hubsan company for they bad customer service.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them. That is unfortunate. Good luck getting it resolved.

@@tharianmalayatoor2959 I did. Link is in the description. They're on thingiverse...
Hi John firstly love your video very informative on the Zino pro, I would like to ask if you could send prop protectors to Australia, I will pay whatever it costs thankyou.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Joseph. Can I suggest seeing if you can find a local printer off of thingiverse.com? It would probably be cheaper and faster for you to do that.
@@RCVideoReviews Thankyou for your reply I had a look and it will cost me hundreds for a printer, will wait to see if the come available off Banggood or other s.
@@josephburrows3711 I just checked on Thingiverse. There used to be an option to "have this printed" from a local source. It appears that option is no longer available.
Those prop clips will likely not show up on Banggood because I posted them as non-commercial.
My intention was to encourage you to find a local 3D printing resource rather than have me send you $2.00 worth of plastic for $40 in shipping.
Can you find anybody local to you with a 3D printer? If you can, they can download the prop clip STL files here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4036111 and print them for you in about 20 minutes.
@@RCVideoReviews thank you very much I will try around here and see what I will come up with
hi, great vid does this shoot raw stills?
Hi Gary, The only camera options I see are iso, exposure, shutter, saturation, contrast, sharpness, and grid lines. I don’t see any options to manipulate format.
@@RCVideoReviews thanks for the info! a deal breaker for me! appreciate that info.
Gary Ward I’ve never had a reason to use raw format. So I’m curious, what does raw let you do that you can’t do with say a jpg? Honest question, I really don’t know. Is it uncompressed?
@@RCVideoReviews yeh just a larger file more flat out of camera but with much more information and allows a lot better editing, more shadow revovery etc and detail, its enough to make me not buy it put it that way! you can do a lot more with a raw image especially in challenging light.
Gary Ward interesting. Other than family photos and some static shots for the channel, I don’t dabble much in static images. So I’ve never paid much attention to the raw format question that comes up so often. Are you finding any success with these consumer grade drones finding raw format in the sub $600 price point?
I cancelled my Dji mini for this one, I live near an airport and I dont think DJI would let me fly it.
It probably wouldn’t.
Just a question, how long does it take to charge one of the batteries? Keep up the videos!
I made my own pigtails: ruclips.net/video/Uryp7DonsrM/видео.html Connecting to a standard charger using those pigtails and I've safely charged at 1.5a which is roughly .5c, so on my charger, about 1 hour. On the little hockey puck they give you with the drone, if memory serves, it takes about 2.5 hours which is why I made my own pigtails.
