[@r.u.sirius7423]

Thanks Chris from Gainesville Florida. I just purchased a Zino Pro and right out of the box I have intermittent issues with the gimbal. It sometimes dances all over the place, quick little jerky movements. Sometimes this jittery movement last a few seconds, sometimes it lasts 10-15 seconds, sometimes it doesn’t do it at all. Landed on your channel while searching for a fix. I’m hoping I can correct this issue instead of returning the quad. Hopefully I can locate one of those plastic calibration covers, the one in the link you provided is sold out. Subscribed.

[@QCGUY]

Yeah it sounds like they didn’t calibrate it correctly in production so I would do the calibration software with the tool ad you mentioned.

I have been following your videos and they are great if we have a problematic Zino. The Parrot Anafi version 2 looks better. I thought the Hubsan Zino would be a great alternative to Mavic Air or even the Mavic 2 but looks like we have to spend time troubleshooting and fixing the inherent bugs. We may have to wait a while longer until their production models is problem free “off the shelf”. I look forward to the day when you can say “Hubsan Zino is truly debug and problem free off the shelf...” Thanks Mate, from Australia...

Hey there Chris, you stated that if we are experiencing the gimbal vibrating or shaking or humming then this will fix that. What if my gimbal simply does not move or make a noise at all upon startup or while the aircraft is powered on? Also, while following these using the gimbal tool software, each time I "start" a calibration, the gimbal still does not move PLUS I get a "timed out" error on the gimbal tool software.

[@ronchelsea1]

@@QCGUY Thanks Chris

[@glenmiller1437]

Thanks for the procedure. My problem was it would only initialize occasionally on startup, and I'd have to repeatedly restart it until it succeeded. (The look-up/look-down initialization would fail, and leave the camera pointing in an odd direction.) I bought the calibration cover and followed the procedure. Not sure that helped but in reading elsewhere, it was suggested that debris/dust may be preventing the gimbal motor from moving properly. Where I fly we have iron in the rocks, and it sticks to motor magnets, so I took off the camera heat sink, blew into the gimbal housing with canned compressed air. It seems to be working better, so fingers crossed.

[@andy17ctdi]

Thank you for this video. I did not even know that you can calibrate the gimbal this way. I thought that the only calibration option was the one from the application on the phone. Which options can I calibrate without this special cover? I am happy to buy it, but delivery from China will take 2 months :(

[@QCGUY]

Some people cut a hole in the gimbal cover that cam with it and secure it that way and then use this method. It can take several attempts but it can work. I would use the tool in order that I showed you not just bits and pieces of it. Thanks

John C Hi Chris, I just ordered my first HUBSAN, the H-117s ZENO Friday. I've been watching/saving all of your U-Tubs I can find. Just ordered the cal. gimbal tool and downloaded the program. I noticed down the comments a guy had a problem opening it. I double clicked it popped right open then after a single click worked. I'm a DJI guy Phantom 3 w/ARCteck antennas, have my C.D.P.L. I use the LITCHI app, can it be used with the ZINO? That app is the best thing since sliced bread. Oh yeah, by the way, folks need to be watchful of HAWKS etc. one grabbed my Phantom right out of the air but I found it using the LITCHI find my drone setting radar took me right to it about 1-1/2 mi. from my location. Had to replace the gimbal, props, Thanks for all you do

[@davidblakeman6692]

Thanks for the good guidance, Chris! My Zino had a shaky gimbal that only acted up in flight. As you know, when the drone turns left or right, the gimbal moves the camera a little in that direction. In my case, the center point of my gimbal was a little too far to the right, so it behaved normally on the ground, but a turn to the right or some wind turbulence was enough for the camera to hit the stop on the right and cause some shaking -- it drove me crazy! Two questions: 1) How come Hubsan doesn't have this stuff on their website?! I sure can't find it; the only place to get this info and the software is from you! (Same thing about "unbricking" the controller.) 2) I know the Zino 2 can't use the same gimbal cover tool -- where can I find the new tool, and will the Zino 2 have a different calibration software? (probably)

[@QCGUY]

David Blakeman Sorry, I cant figure them out on the lack of communication. As for the Zino 2 we will have to wait and see what they come up with there. Thanks

[@maxnunez3424]

[@davidblakeman6692]

Great video, Chris! Gimbal tool has been ordered, and calibration software has been downloaded and unpacked. I noticed at the end of your calibration demo that the video shows you stopping the software, unplugging the drone, and then removing the battery. The video jumps just before you removed the battery -- did you turn off the drone first and the video skipped that part, or do you indeed remove the battery while the Zino is powered on? I'm thinking the former. Thanks!

[@QCGUY]

David Blakeman It’s not that critical but just turn the quad of and do everything else in whatever order you wish. 👍

It stays that way forever. I have tried several times, I have even downloaded the program again .... nothing

[@TonyDeConcini]

Is this a potential problem with Hubsan drones - specifically the new Zino 2+ I just got? Will I end up having to do this in future and does this cover work on the 2+ - or should I simply not worry about it until it should happen. Scared of even taking this thing out of the case and trying to set it up. So many issues that so many people have puts me off even trying. Might sell it and go for a DJI Mini 2 or wait until later in the year for the Mini 3 they say is on the soon-to-be-released list - so I've heard. Anyway thanks for your posts. Lots to learn indeed.

Good, very good. My issue is that after a crash i notice that even if everithing seem to work good ... mean it' s fly good, it' s record good as previuos tha crash .. something in the stabilization seem to have problems ... during recording, the vids are jally during fast mooving of the aricraft in any directrion. I've perform many times tha app calibration but it' doens't fix anything ... Do u think i must try this ... and have chances to have succesful result ??

[@QCGUY]

theflyace This can’t hurt but have you changed all your props even if they look good? You could also have a loose or damaged gimbal dampener or something else you should do is take a can of air and blow out the moving parts of the gimbal. You would be surprised what a spec of dirt can do. When you say calibration I assume you mean you did the horizontal calibration on a flat level surface?

[@theflyace]

​@@QCGUY Of course, also in my mind there was the doubt about the dampers, so few days ago beforfore the crash i've dismounto the gimbal (without disconnectc any flat cable) to investigate some mechanical interference or failure of the dampers ... they seem OK ... anyway i' ve ordered a set of four .. and soon i' ll gone to replace those items.

[@corina2610]

Chris, thank you for your instructive videos about HUBSAN ZINO and I really appreciate your expertise. I got one ZINO 1 a couple of years ago. It was good at the beginning and I had fun flying it. Then the problems started to emerge: first the batteries just died even tough looked fully charged. I solved it after I looked at one of your videos and making the modification for a regular Lipo 3S battery. Now I have another problem: the camera on the gimbal started to limit the up-down movement and then stopped reacting at the remote's camera wheel command. It continues to takes picture, tough. I have image but the gimbal doesn't work at all (maybe a small movement on the startup). The application says gimbal error 0x0080 and then it changed to 0x0200 (not 0x2000 !). From time to time a "barometer error" appear on the screen, but disappear on restart. The drone flies well, but the camera is in a fixed position. I have the calibration gimbal cover (thanks to your recommendation on a video seen a year ago) and I did all the steps for re-calibration. At CAL MC step, gimbal was moving in all directions proving that the motors work. When calibration finished, I restarted the drone, and after a small up-down movement of the camera, the gimbal went limp. I did the calibration a number of time with no success. Please tell me what should I do? Thank you for your time!

[@QCGUY]

Ox0200 is a hard one because it can be either a cable issue or board connection issue. I always recommend changing the gimbal flex cable and usually that is the fix. Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@corina2610]

@@QCGUY Hello Chris! I ordered the gimbal motor's flex cable and change it. The first error that appear on the application was "the gimbal angle sensor is abnormal" and on gimbal tab it's says "error 0x0080". So, I did the gimbal calibration (BTW, the CAL Gyro was taking 10+ times until I got an acceptable 0,3,0 and finish. The rest were "Time out" trials). At the end I started the Zino and gimbal is not working (at the CALL MC ALIGN all the gyro movements were ok) so the cable and the motors are working). The gimbal is limp and the app is saying "Error0x0200" like it was with the old flex cable. Please tell me what should I do next? Thank you! (PS: the problem appeared not due to a crash. Zino was flying and I observed that I haven't full angle up-down control of the gimbal, from the remote wheel. The next flight was without gimbal stabilization and control. Just the image was working ok).

Hello, do you think this process can correct my problem of loosing horizontal when spinning? When i make a rapid rotation of more than 90°, the horizon line doesn't stay level. A precision: My drone is brand new, but i have make a setting of the lense focus. Although, it's a question for all Zino owners: do you have this issue when you make a rapid spinning movement? Does the horizon stay level? Thanks.

Chris, what about (in the case of your old one that I now have), I'm getting a "The gimbal angle sensor is abnormal" error in the app and the gimbal pitch control isn't working any more? I DO have camera, but no gimbal pitch control; this just started happening after I updated the firmware for Hubsan's most recent, from their site. I also see an "Error 0x2000" in the gimbal calibration area. I have version ZINO_G_V3.0.2.13 installed for the gimbal and Zino_IT_V0.3.6 on the drone itself. Flight control software shows as Zino_FC_V1.2.11

[@QCGUY]

Sorry I just saw this but your cable has decided to fail and needs replaced if it’s code 2000. It happens and is most often the case.

Replace the cable and then see from there. You will likely find other errors are related and go away.

Hi Chris, thank you for this video. I ordered the cover and followed the instructions exactly as described.

Nothing help, now the gimbal is dead and I am unable to do anything about it. Would you please have any suggestion what to do? Thanks a lot

[@QCGUY]

2000 without a doubt is bad or disconnected gimbal flex cable. They can fail for what seems like no reason at all. If you have had it apart it might not be connected to the board. If you haven’t had it apart it most likely needs a new cable. I do a few of these a week sometimes.

alvarez462 Don’t keep powering it on. It’s getting hot because the motors are working over what they normally would. If this is what yours needs I would get the tool and do the calibration.

[@Alex-nf5jy]

Hi Chris, you gave me some great advice a few weeks ago that this should fix my hubsan zino pro's very erratic gimbal shaking. Every step of this works except for the first one; when I do CAL GYRO, it goes for a few seconds and then on the tool it says time out error. I've tried restarting all devices. Have you come across this? Thanks very much.

[@QCGUY]

Yes and I have helped others who asked the same question. Most have found that they have the quad in a bad location on a metallic table or magnetic object. Mine will fail in one area of my desk but then work perfectly on the floor away from everything. Sometimes you just have to keep hitting the button again after several timeouts and then all of a sudden it takes.

I just received my Hubsan Zino Pro, I am reading the manual I down loaded to do the horizontal calibration it says to go to settings cog, followed by”Other” to get horizontal calibration, I can’t get to this part called other. What am I doing wrong? Also having a time keeping it connected to transmitter, by the way what is leas? Is that where I should be? I believe it the default. I have had it connect on occasion and everything works but I thought the initial bind should keep the bind . Somewhat confused a video on this would be appreciated!

If it does not get fixed then no worries, I will buy a proper drone. I feel that this is not good drone. It is not that stable and lacks the optical flow that is very helpful for beginners. But the worst thing is that hubsan gives you a very bad battery charger that makes batteries fail after charging them no more than 10 times. Also congrats to you for the other video about the balance battery chargers. Unfortunately I found your videos after my crash and the problem about the gimbal. I am thankful about not injuring anyone and not damaging others property. This drone is a cheap craftsmanship by all means.
