Hubsan Zino Pro Plus First Flight and Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2020
- The Zino Pro Plus has some interesting features with an advertised 8 KM range, and a 5000 mah battery with a 43 minute flight time. I get my first flight in with the drone here. I check out the video and picture quality, as well as examine a few of the automated flight modes.

I truly appreciate you making the effort to be out in the cold for this review. That said, I sure wish that you had landed and re-calibrated as soon as you realized that there was a problem. Thanks!
Thank you.
Thank you very much for your help!! Apreciated!
My pleasure, thank you!
Very good Marcus. I like your videos specialy because you are very honest. Thanks and take care, winter is coming!
Thank you very much! I do enjoy making these videos.
Sweating buckets to freezing cold Marcus welcome to my world
in the wet windy and cold North East of the UK ( Middlesbrough)
to be procise, still your doing your best with unpredictable Zino
flying machine, keep moving My friend keep both of you safe
(Steve).
Thank you Steve! It's always fun to fly!
Marcus, Thank you for trying it for all of us. When are they going to fix this low levee wondering? You are famous for the phrase: It's a Zino!
Ha! Thank you Blueskyver. Gorillaman originally came up with the phrase "It's a Zino". 😎 We all use it now. 😁
Ha.. Ha.. Ha... As you said.. "It's a Zino" ! Nice and quiet though. But it's not competitively priced. At current pricing the Mimi2 is by far a better craft. I will give Hubsan credit... They are beating this Zino line to death. I'm interested in where the Humla Forest Drone is coming in development with their propellerless propulsion system. Great review Marcus 👍 👍
Thank you GM. I'll still say that the original Zino was the best of all of them. 👍
Really good drone
Thank you.
Hola, excelente video Marcus, entre este y el Fimi cuál recomiendas?
¡Muchas gracias! Este tiene más alcance y tiempo de vuelo, pero el Fimi tiene una mejor cámara y sistema de control. 👍
Great video! Have you tried the maximum image transmission distance? How far can it go before you lose the video feed?
No, this was my 1st flight. I'll get the drone out again soon.
Thank you
Thank you as well. 👍
Hey Marcus, did u have a plan to do The Zino 2+ review as well? Love to see that!! Cheers from Malaysia.. :-)
I would very much like to review the Zino 2 Plus, but do not have one. 👍
...great video and Hubsan drones are nice as long as you know what to expect from a Hubsan. People may need to realize that all drones are similar but also distinctly different with how they perform depending on the tech thats incorporated.
The original Zino is still a winner. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter
Wish I could find one in good shape for a decent price.
Dress warm that's get bird in the air. nice to see you back
Thank you Brian.
Always impressed with your smooth flights Marcus. I'm still too jerky for much of my video.
Thank you very much Robert! It's just so much fun to fly!
How hard was it to get your drone pilot license? what are the recording/logging requirements for each flight?
I'm assuming that you are a licensed drone pilot because you went way beyond the 400' range limit for unlicensed drone flights. I want to get licensed, just wondering how hard and what paperwork involved to fly. Good review of the Zino, just what I was looking for. Thnx
You can get your Drone registration at the FAA drone zone. 👍 As for 400 ft, that is the max height you are allowed.
Hey Marcus, thanks again for a great video. Being new to drones, I've always wondered: When the specs say "8 Km range", does this mean 8 km total distance (round trip), or 8 km one way (16 km round trip)?
Thank you Julio! When they claim 8 KM range, they're meaning one way. Many newer drones can actually fly out further than the battery capacity allows. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thank you for clearing that up for me
my friend.
Hi, I have a Zino Pro. How do you calibrate the controllers?
Great reviews, keep it up! Regards from Mexico.
Thank you very much! Here is a link to Hubsan's video on how to calibrate the controller. ruclips.net/video/AFfq9zgSOdI/видео.html
Based on your live the other day on Drone Nation I agree the photos and video on my Zino Pro seem 'soft' for lack of a better term I have area of sharpness and areas of softness. My 2.7k Mini runs circles around this camera. These things can be such a pain to update the firmware on that I haven't updated mine since I got it but I can still fly though. Most likely wont fix the camera though.
Thank you Patrick. There is a sharpness setting in the camera menu. I need to mess around with that, and see if it can be improved.
The snow never bothered you before I still watch your video you did with the Mavic 2 when you did lots of RTH tests
Ha! Yes, I fly all year round. 😁
may i ask dji mini 2 or zino pro plus ? what will be your choice thanks
Mini 2, no question.
Idaho Quadcopter that was a really Nice Video ! You always have Great Videos ! Your Great & Thanks for the Nice Video ! ( Keep Warm ) Illinois is Cold also No Snow yet though ! Usually By December 5Th I use To Plow Snow for the State of Illinois !
Thank you! That was a cold day. 👍👍
I just always wished that the ZINOS flew as good as they look
There is a lot of truth in that statement.
Same
Hey Marcus,
As usual, great video. Being relatively new to drones, I was wondering if you might help. I have a Zino Pro. Everytime I download the videos from my SD card to my computer, I always get two of each video recording I've taken that day on the computer screen. Is this normal? Also, the longest video recording is 9:31. Anything over that, the video is split into two separate videos (or 4 videos on my screen). Any ideas?
Thanks.
Thank you Julio. The AB files are thumbnails. I usually just delete them. The AA files are the ones to keep. It is normal for the drone to split up the video files. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thank you my friend. Keep up the good work.
Great test Marcus. The range and battery life look very good but the camera kind of underwhelms me. Well done !
Yes, I agree. The camera is a disappointment.
Hi Marcus after watching your videos regarding the Hubsan and Fimi Drones I have decided to purchase the Fimi 2020 to me it seems a more stable drone and more reliable.
The Fimi X8 SE is a great drone. 👍
I see a lot of videos where the gimbal on the fimi gets stuck and they've never resolved the issue.
Marcus..... Great video. I own the Hubsan Zino Pro...what's the difference between the pro and the pro +? Haven't heard of the Pro+ . My Zino pro arrived with a 3000mAh battery and i'ver slow purchased a 4200mAh battery that fits in the Zino Pro. The larger battery offers extended flight range. Can you provide a link to the Zino Pro + specs.
Thank you Marc. The difference is the range, and the 5000 mah smart battery. If you go to Hubsan's website the specs are posted there. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter Yea, I saw that after I had posted to you :). Additionally, w/o the 5200maH battery and the additional flight time it offers, would you say the drone itself is the Zino Pro, and what makes it the "Plus" +, is the bigger battery? or are there additional feature the Zino Pro + drones provides that the Zino Pro does not?
I'm just curious if the phone is the one connecting to the drone? So do you need 5ghz wifi or is the connection to the drone through the controller? I have the H501SS and it doesn't have a phone connection at all, just the controller.
No, the mobile device is connected to the controller via an OTG cable. Only the controller is connected wirelessly to the drone. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter good thanks.
Nice 👍 one cold trast flight ✈️ my friend here still spring 20-22 temperature 🌡️ looks pretty nice 👍 very nice flying snd and function my friend ☺️👍 Marcus!!
Thank you DJ Aleks! It was a very cold day!

That’s one drone I’d never get, can’t stand PC’s! Great video as always. Can’t believe how your temperature has dropped!!
¡Fue un día muy frío, Jackie! Soy todo Apple con la superación de mi PC. No creo que te recomiende este dron en ningún caso. ¡Gracias por ver mi vídeo!

Hey Marcus you need to get you some of those fly gloves from PGY Tech. They work good in situations like that. Great video 👍👍
Thank you Greg! I sure do. Maybe Santa will bring some. 😎
i like the claim for flight time for the cost of the drone,what i dont like os the drone wandering a little.im sitting here today contemplating on what drone to order for review.im leaning towards the fimi mini but this seems interesting for the money
You might try the DJI Mini 2. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter to many reviewers done that one,i was thinking about it but just decided to pre order the fimi mini,just made the purchase about 10 minutes ago
Hi Marcus, can you please review/test the new (November) Firmware update for the Fimi X8 SE?
Thank you for your videos and greetings from Germany.
Thank you Roman! That video is coming up soon. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thank you Marcus!
I hope they fix(ed) this annoying Horizon tilt issue.
I want to buy a Drone (my first) and I want a Drone with a good Camera.
I think only DJI, Xiaomi/Fimi and Hubsan can provide a really good/top Video and Picture quality for a good price (max. 500€).
On my shortlis are the Fimi X8 SE 2020 (my Favorit), the Hubsan Zino 2 plus and the DJI Mini 2 (all other DJI Drones are to expensive (imo)).
I need to rewatch this on my 60 inch TV screen, I never could see the FPV drone flying around. Great testing Marcus, it seems to have performed as advertised for you. While the flight range and battery life are great, the camera seems to be a little lacking.
Spot on Ron! The video from the original Zino is better than we saw here.
I've been watching quite a few reviews of Zino's, Pro, Pro +, and 2's. I am wondering if you got a bad camera? Anyone else reviewing the Pro+ vs original states video is improved.
Hello! :) I'm in my second day of owning a Pro Plus. Your review helped me decide on it. I am having the worst time finding the return to home settings. Any chance you can tip me off to where they are?
Yes indeed. If you are asking about the return to home altitude setting it is in settings in the app. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter O! There it is....thank you!
Nice Beanie! Problem with Zino gimbal is that it hangs on four rubber dampers which is prone to vibration and jello something the 3 axis gimbal cannot stabilise in flight hence a "shimmering" (desert mirage like) effect. Other drones have a two top dampers and two side dampers which work better and means the gimbal doesn't just dangle. Also flight dynamics on Hubsan has always been poor ... But all told it's the price point as a beginner drone which gets it over the top. Its only those of us that have moved on or remained in the hobby that realise its faults.
The original Zino is still one of my favorite drones.
Hi Marcus, not sure if you will see this post as it is 2023, but after owning this drone how have your batteries held up? I bought my Zino pro plus about 1 year ago and the original Hubsan batteries did not last very long, after about 6 months, flying 2 time per month, the batteries (2) both would only get around 12 mins flight time to 30% charge. I did store at a 50% charge and kept them at room temperature.I then bought another Hubsan battery and had the same results :( So about 2 months ago I bought an after market battery on Amazon, it was a CIFI Power that had 6500 battery. So far this battery has been great, I have flow 4 times and at 50% life I get 20 min, and at 30% I get 28 min. I dont fly below 30% as its bad for the battery. Hopefully I will get the same results in 6 months.
Hubsan batteries do struggle. I've had a few go bad. I have not flown the Zino in quite a while.
It’s a Marcus marathon of video let’s get this bird in the air
Ha! Thank you!
Please which is the better of the 2 between the zino2 or pro plus and is it worth it?(zinoP+?)
I would choose the Zino 2.
@@IdahoQuadcopter 👍💯
1/3 the price of the Mavic Air 2, That drone did need a calibration big style.
I like it, Edit are you going to do a second flight with updates an calibration. i did check your vids
The only calibration that wasn't done is the controller. I'll do that before the next flight. 👍
Hi I have a Zino Pro aswell as a DJI Mini 2, man they are chalk and cheese. i did laugh watching your video when the Zino was moving around and you said, Yeah its a zino.
Ha! Thank you! 😎
Thanks Marcus. Those darn Zinos. Lol
Exactly Johnnie! Those darn Zinos. 😁
I wonder if this is a coincidence or if the bottom down exposure better than the Pro. All my records 90 degrees to the bottom down are every time overexposure
I don't know. The camera quality seemed to me to be quite similar to the original Zino.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Anyway thank you for your pretty nice review. I wonder why the wrong tilt horizon is also present for a factory new drone. I know this from my Hubsan Pro but this issue appeared first after 20, 30 flights or so ... full gimbal calibration with the tool didn't help. One of the problems that me forced to move to DJI
@@flyhigh6069 It's odd, because usually Hubsan has a good horizon.
Would you recommend this...its on Amazon for 300 bucks.
Yes, $300 is a great deal for this drone. 👍
I bought this drone 3 weeks ago.everything looks good bt my problem is fligt time.i think 43 minutes is a fake time value to cheat clients.i couldnt get flight time more than 22 minutes.and i set all speen parameters manually.i mean i dont select sport mode or hight flight speed.what do you think about this problem?
Yes, most drone flight times are off, this one is no exception. 🤷♂️
sir, i think it s related with updates. i used latest firmware for FC and IT but i couldnt find any tutorial for PW updates, gimbal updates and remote control updates. versions become bigger on hubsan website but all about zino.. about pro plus is absent. how can i find it? thanks for your fast feedback. i push subscribe button of your channel now. :-)
Great video, Im gonna try fpv with my mavic mini and the goggles. Hope I dont crash?
That should be fun. 👍
Latency is to much on fpv for video on WiFi. You will crash
Hi Marcus , I saw one of these Zino Pro Plus Birds for 200 bucks on eBay , no battery though , what would you say Marcus ?
That seems a little steep without a battery. I would wonder what else may be wrong with it.
@@IdahoQuadcopter, ok Marcus , I will keep looking , thanks a lot .
can you lock the gimbal?
Not that I'm aware of. 🤷♂️
My photos have been quite grainy recently. Is this normal? Thx
No, they should not be too grainy.
@@IdahoQuadcopter ok thank you. Are there any ways to alter/fix this?
What app do I need to fly the Zino Pro?
X Hubsan
14:17, looks a little soft marcus
I agree. I compared it to my original Zino, and it was better. Imagine that, a Zino with focus issues.
Will not waste my money on a zino until they can fix all the problems that may never happen
Same here
You make a good point.
I'll stick with dji lolll
i got the mini 2 but didn't got the chance to fly it yet, it is way too cold here but i cannot wait. Thx for the zino review
Yeah, you made the right choice with the Mini 2! 😁 👍
Looks good to me. So this is somewhere between the Zino Pro and the Zino 2? That tilted horizon t reminds me of the Fimi. That's cool there was a FPV drone flying around. Congrats on reaching 9k subs! I'm almost there. You flew right past me :) I have to get away from these toy drones. No one cares about them anymore. Getting 40-70 views on the first day is depressing. The novelty of these toys have worn off. Bryan is dealing with similar problems on his channel.
Ryan, your reviews are among the best ones out there. I do agree that the sweet spot seems to be the mid-priced drones. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter thank you Marcus!! The toys are just not popular right now but it is hard to pass up free over stuff I have to buy. lol. I do plan to start using my aff earnings towards drones like this Zino Pro Plus.
hope nothing breaks on it
Me too.

Why do I feel like the base of the gimbal has some flickering or some of the video is unbalanced from the frame red Or I think
I noticed a slight shake too.
@@IdahoQuadcopter What is the cause and can it be solved? I also ordered this model. Sorry for using a language that I am not good at.

Have you ever been confronted by a member of the public complaining about you flying a drone. I had my first confrontation recently. Not a pleasant experience.
Yes, many times, and most are quite positive. I have had a couple that were not so.
Nicholas, what was the person's issue with you flying the drone?
I had an experience once in about 3 years of flying my spark and I told the bloke if I crash my drone whilst you distract me I am holding you responsible , he soon left ...
@@ap14rcf70 I think the real issue was that my Mavic Mini would make her dog bark a lot whenever I was close to the complainant’s house (not that close, I always fly well in excess of 50 metres from a building).
unfortunately my pro plus catches permanent toilet bowling. i swapped compasses from my Z1 but the pro + still dances in the sky. I have lost my patience with him
I understand. 👍
why is it a bit blurry on the left?
I wish I knew. It is disappointing.
@@IdahoQuadcopter
I just found a fix for it! 😊
@@IdahoQuadcopter
Q) My Zino lens seems out of focus can this be fixed?
A) This video details how to adjust the focus by taking the drone apart and turning the lens slightly. This has worked for people with slight focus problems. ruclips.net/video/1adW-SLR-U0/видео.html
@@zequenz87 I've had some other friends try that without success. I will not try it. 🤷♂️
I have purchased a Hubsan Zino Pro and received last week, I don't know yet how good it will fly but I have had problems with the company not sending all of the Items that I have paid for and showing on my invoice as well as the Advertisement page, what are missing from my delivery is. 2 drone batteries, 1 cigarette charger, 1 extra bag of prop, and 1 drone carry bag, they are just ignoring all of the evidence with photos, They just don't care what you say or prove, I could not possibly recommend Hubsan for they customer service, I do not trust them.
That is terrible. I hope you get it resolved.
Actual range of this slow flyer?
They advertise 8 KM.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Actual, not what is advertised, please..
@@theartofflying3108 I'm sorry, I don't know.
@@theartofflying3108 Depends on the triangulation of the drone from your position. The higher the drone the less horizontal distance it can cover. Additionally, reception quality will limit distance depending on how much signal obstruction there is (i.e. building, pylons). You can always get hyperbolic boosters to increase signal strength and max horizontal distance from you.
it seems the drone also had a small toilet bowling going on
Yes, this drone has no downward facing sensors.
Hubsan is messing with my mind's.
Zino, zino pro, zino 2, zino pro plus, zino 2 plus...... Did i forget something????
There are ton of different Zinos. 😎
Which one is meant to be better this one or the zino 2 plus

Thanks for the reply
Is this one better than the zino 2 standerd one?
kuat angin apa tidak pak😂
👍
Why didn't you go ahead and calibrate everything? Pretty sure it would've flown better than that. As an influencer you just made the quad look worse than it probably is also the fpv was weird.... I've seen many videos of several Hubsan drones and the fpv never looked that bad.
I've flown a few Zinos in my day, and have had far worse flights than this one. 😎 I'll give the controller the benefit of the doubt, as it was the only thing on the drone that I did not calibrate. 👍
It's a Zino alright haha
I should have known better Bryan.
Great review! But I'll pass on this💩💩
Thank you Kendue! I don't blame you. 🙂👍
