Thanks Marcus I have just purchased this little Hubsan drone and I have only been able to have one test flight so far due to weather problems in the UK. Can I say I am very impressed with the drone I still think some minor things need be ironed out by Hubsan but can I say its down to you and other reviewers that Hubsan take note and recitfy these problems. Because of your reviews they would be lost with out you so its a bigs thanks from me, after all if they Hubsan had not watched your reviews I dont think I would have purchased the little zino and would have gone for the DJI Mini but I wanted to try a different drone company like Hubsan so thank you Marcus for your time and patience.

V1.3.0 really degrades video quality. I think they must have enabled EIS in an attempt to sort out the jello, but the jello is still there, with what is now terrible picture quality.

Thanks for the video. Watch out for the Mini's they're like tribbles... before you know it your house will be filled with them. How many DJI Mini's do you have now? How many Fimi Mini's? And soon you'll have 2 HZMP's? And Autel hasn't even released theirs yet. It's already started...be afraid VERY afraid. 😉 The HZMP's syncleas looks pretty solid. There is a LOT of tech packed into it...I'm not surprised that it get's a little toasty when everything is turned on. I'm not much of a OA person..but if I were using it I'd likely only turn it on when I'm doing something a bit more risky...like follow me in a obstacle filled environment and then I'd turn it off and fly freely. I saw you pause before crossing the road...strictly speaking I believe that the FAA rules state that it's not against the rules to fly over traffic as long at it is "transitory' (e.g., crossing a road ). It's also my understanding that you can fly over houses (covered shelter) as long as you aren't invading someone's privacy (i.e., peeping drone). Again, that is my understanding.

@@IdahoQuadcopter Please don't think I'm Hubsan Bashing for one minuite Marcus, if it wasn't for reviewers like yourself consumer's like ourselves would rely on bias promotional company videos. My opinion of this Drone has slowly changed from its launch to more positive in many ways but unfortunately not some of the tactics that Hubsan has employed for damage limitation and the fact that already we have seen 2 price increases, multiple major firmware updates, having to jump through hoops just to get it airbourn and the fact Hubsan has had its PayPal account frozen because of cancellations to me makes the whole experience of buying a " consumer friendly" turn on and go Drone a real bitter pill to swallow. On the plus side this is without doubt one of Hubsan best attempts to date and given the probebly too higher bar they themselves set overall they have done a not too shabby job.. But again we get back to the root of the problem... The Camera and Gimbal. Forget the active track, way points. Line flight, and all the pomp and ceremony, sort out what everybody has bought or looking to buy... The Camera and Gimbal One last thought.. It seems that the major problem with this Drone regarding overheating is when it's hovering with obstacle avoidance activated.. Your talking with Hubsan. Is there a way potentially that when the Drone hovers for, say over 10 seconds the obstacle avoidance deactivates then reactivate when it detects movement..similarly to when the FPV only activates when the motors are running? Just an idea.. Big rant sorry.. Stay safe 😇🙏

Sadly, aircraft firmware V1.3.0 resulted in a serious degradation in recorded video quality. In search of a solution to the video jello issue, I suspect Hubsan enabled some sort of EIS, resulting in a catastrophic loss of detail. I see large blurry areas in foliage, and grass looks like a uniform blob of green. Photos still seem quite good, but I don't feel the recorded video is worth the hard drive space. I really hope Hubsan can sort this out, and if I could, I would revert to V1.2.9. I strongly recommend against updating to any currently available firmware at the time of this posting, if you have any interest in video quality.
