HUBSAN ZINO - REPLACING GIMBAL RIBBON CABLE

[@paddypersonal2872]

I had intermittent FPV then it finally failed so I took the plunge. I found a European suppler in Poland €14. Bought a few decent tools for the job and followed this video exactly. Hey presto, FPV is back working as is everything else. Took me an hour as I was as slow as I could. Thanks Chris, I couldnt even have started the job without your help.

[@QCGUY]

Wonderful 🙏🧡

[@WilliamJones-nq6is]

Can you send me a link for the supplier?

[@QCGUY]

@@WilliamJones-nq6is look in the description of the video. Get the correct one for your quad though. Thanks

[@fishrite1196]

Thanks Chris. I performed this repair from this video and the gimbal is now working perfectly again. Its given me the confidence to tackle any other problems I may encounter with the ZP.

[@idratherpushmychevythandri9640]

thx for the help! Hubsan should put you on the payroll. I learned more in an hour watching your vids than in 3 months of dealing with Hubsan. They really should improve their customer service. I really have to think about buying another Hubsan product which i probably won't because they suck in after purchase support and resolving warranty issues . Total waste of time. Keep up the great work you saved my drone from retirement. Thx A+++

Thank you for taking the time to say that 👍🏻

[@polkcraig4485]

All because of you. THANKYOU. Just got done replacing my gimbal cable and it works. Couldn’t have done it with out you.

Awesome! Very good to here 👍🏻🧡

[@henrichevreul5626]

Chris your tutorials are awesome. Thanks to the clarity of the operations I managed to replace the gimbal cable after my Zino pro had crashed and was damaged It is now fully back in flight and the camera works like a charm.

[@QCGUY]

That’s great to hear and the reason I do these videos so thanks for taking the time to share that. ✌️

I just changed my hubsan zino pro gimbal and camera cable watching your video.. thank you so much!

[@markusg.3818]

Thank you very much for this video - changing the camera cable was no problem (until the last plug which was secured with a kind of wax which was really hard to remove) following this video!

[@kombichumba]

Ola. Não estou encontrando o cabo do Ginbal para ZINO H117S. Só encontro para ZINO Y. sabe se serve?

[@Marco_Photo_Video]

Thank you so much for this tuto Guy. I did it step by step successfully. Anyway since this replacement, my ZINO H117S doesn't connect anymore my remote controller in WIFI mode. Can this problem be linked with the 2 connectors that we have to unplug/plug to take off the cover ? I must say that it was the 1st open of the ZINO and that was a lot of glue on those 2 both connectors. Thanks

[@QCGUY]

If it connected before you replaced the gimbal cable chances are you damaged the camera cable when you had it apart. It’s very common for it to fail after replacing the other cable. If the camera cable is bad it will not transmit WiFi and it won’t connect.

[@HomesteadlifeFinland]

Thank you so much!! I changed camera and the gimbal motor gable. No I can fly again ;)

[@bramdepreter6562]

is the ribbon cable the same in the hubsan zino as the hubsan zino pro plus

[@QCGUY]

Image cable is is but the gimbal cable isn’t.

[@omarmorales4769]

Chris thanks for the tutorial, I have a Hubsan ACE SE R version. the issue with this drone is after I updated the firmware, the gimbal started crazy going up and down so fast, hitting it self up and down and it won't stop. Yeah I know it is crazy but, may be I can send you a video. Please help!

Hi. Sir thanks for the lesson, it is always helpful, let me ask after replacing motor cable, should i make gimbal calibration by PC software?

[@QCGUY]

No not unless the gimbal gets shaky or twitchy.

[@steveinsaugus]

Great video. I checked the cam connector. Also checked the gimbal connector. Still flashing red. I wonder if I need to replace the ribbon cable. Anyone now much is the Wi-Fi module and does Hubsan sells this?

[@QCGUY]

There’s different things to confirm here but as far as the Wifi module goes you can check around but if you use Facebook it would be good to post in my group to narrow it down to the exact problem. Not easily done here. 👍

[@sputumsucker05]

Do the ribbons listed in the description work for all the zino drones? I have a zino pro plus. Thanks so much for the videos, suffered my first tumble, need to fix it.

[@QCGUY]

The image cable works for all zino models before the zino 2. The gimbal cable is different between the original zino and the zino-y, zino pro and zino pro plus. I have other videos on how to identify what yours requires.

[@maxnunez3424]

Hi Criss,Good morning, I hope I don't bother with this but I turn to you to see if you can help me with the problem I have with the Zino Pro camera.Two months ago I turned on the drone to fly it and I remember that several times I turned on the drone since I realized that it did not turn on, I did it simultaneously about three to four times until it turned on, I realized immediately that the camera did not move, When connecting the remote control and the phone with the app, I realized that I had a connection with the app but without an image, the reckless one works and everything else, only when I checked the version of the gimbal in the app, it is already It is not there, and the most important thing is that it flies, I bought the cables for the camera and the servo motors of the camera (I followed your advice) and replaced them, but still with the same problem I have no image but the drone flies without problems, it will I should replace the camera (100U $) or replace the control card (100U $) ... I don't know what else to do, friend, I hope you help me.Now if I replace the camera, I must put the same camera cable for servos and image, right?the zino H117S camera is the same as the zino pro's, according to the answer you gave me a few weeks ago.Max nuñezSantiago de Chile Enviar comentarios Historial Guardadas Comunidad

[@QCGUY]

Corrado Galgani Yes you have to use the same one. They separate them by Zino and Zino-Y but the difference is the plug type and trying to use the wrong one can damage the pins.

[@GuidoFiore]

Hi guy! Super useful video! But it's normal that the yaw motor can pop out from gimbal mount just pulling by hand? The motor shaft with the screw come out with the motor, and the rotor with magnet stay on the gimbal mount....is it normal?? I can't see anything broken on the shaft...

[@QCGUY]

After you remove the screws and cover yes it will just slide off.

[@bramdepreter6562]

oke can you please send a picture of the ribbon cable of the hubsan zino pro + (the cervo cable for the gimbal)

It’s pretty easy… Go to Aliexpress and search for zino-y or zino pro gimbal cable. The cable will have a P1 on on end and P4 on another end. Aliexpress is the best at getting it correct.

[@azdave8896]

What adhesive would you recommend for the connectors? I'm hesitant to leave them "un-glued" if Hubsan felt it necessary to glue the connectors. Thanks!

My Zino suddenly will not connect, no recent impacts and always stored in a protective case. The LED next to the SD slot is flashing constantly too. The gimbal is still working correctly and stiff.

I have one doing the same and after finding a perfect cable I am to the point that I think the wifi module is done. I have to test voltage points on the board to be sure. Sorry

Hey, i saw comments but have the question. My drone crashed and i have 0x2000 error. It fly. It record. But camera roll doesnt work. Camera doesnt move at start. Ive seen the cable from this video is broken a lil bit so ive moved it out and order another one.. but in the comment you say that if camera doesnt move at start you have to change the gimbal motor cable - so its the second one? But it seems like this one is fine. What should i do?

Hi Chris! After crash the the controller show me gimbal tilt error . Bu the gimbal server was working I have did horizontal calibration and after gimbal calibration. After that the gimbal death

[@QCGUY]

Camilo Martins If all 3 motors on the gimbal are working then it has to be calibration with tool to fix this fault. Do a horizontal calibration of the drone and then when you go to calibrate the gimbal with the tool it can take several try’s but most important is step 1. If one of your x y z numbers are more then -4 or +4 it’s likely to fail.

[@hiroshioyama1767]

Do you think what is the cause that the gimbal cable is broken ? As the first reason , a user switch on the drone with the camera cap. By the fixed gimbal, the gimbal cable receive a large electric damage. As the second cause, when the gimbal cable is setting on the camera, the cable is folded at the branch to the turn-outlet, I think. The cable is very fine. So soon the cable will be broken. The measures are the next: 1) take off the camera cap when the drone is switched-on 2) remove the camera head-projection fixing the branch cable to the turn-outlet Because, in cause of the projection, you need to fold the cable tightly. This is an unhappiness. Sorry. I am not a good English writer.
