Hubsan Zino Firmware Update - Does It Help Flight Performance?

[@dogstar7]

There you have it. Kelly is one of the most experienced drone pilots in the KZbin drone community. If he can't control the Zino then it cannot be controlled. I've personally been disappointed with my Zino since I got mine in the first pre-order batch. I am currently expecting to receive mine back from Husband USA after sending it back for repairs after a series of crashes under similar circumstances as we have seen here. If Hubsan were to have grafted it's camera and gimbal to a H501S airframe I would have been a happy camper. Why they could not engineer a foldable quad with the same flight characteristics as H501 I will never know

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for the comment. The camera on this drone is pretty good and the firmware updates seemed to have helped the gimbal. But alas, the drone drifts, dodges and darts in all directions! Not a good flight experience. And yes - I have flown many drones, have my part 107 and generally know that I'm doing! I would not want to see the Zino in the hands of someone who is just starting out! There are much better options out there for the price!

[@Bobcouto2]

Ready Set Drone what are some other options in a foldable drone at the same price point that you would recommend?

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Thanks Kelly@@readysetdrone

[@VPXM2012]

@@Bobcouto2 if I was you and I could, I'd just go for the Mavic Air. Master Airscrew now also sells much quieter propellers for it as well. I have one, and I can tell you without sounding like a fan boy, it never bounces around as this zino quadcopter does. And as much as some complain about constant updates, I'd rather have that, than an unstable bird in the air. Also, if you don't mind the large size, Xiaomi Mi Drone 4k model is much better than this hubsan, and one battery will get you over 25 minutes of flight time... I had one, was very happy. Donated it as a thank you, to my mom's neighbors.

[@TedEvanz]

i've got my hubsan zino recently and out of the box i horizontal, gimbal, gps accuracy test and it work perfectly time so didn't update the firmware after all. it is really a great drone for the money if you know and understand its limitation.

[@MERCKXWOOD]

You really didn't do the HORIZONTAL CALIBRATION after installing the latest firmware??? 🤔🤔🤔 If you intended to start afresh it would've been a good idea to also calibrate the compass and controller stick's.

[@asaboroclifford6430]

You are making sense cos mine holds autitude even when I have not installed the latest firmware

[@Mantis_Toboggan_TrashMan]

@@asaboroclifford6430 Making sense? You should ALWAYS make sure everything is fully calibrated. I'm betting when you update the firmware it may delete everything including your calibrations. It could also be manufacturing defects. That could why some people have zero problems and love the product or this stuff happens. I just got mine yesterday and I was very tired and it was windy but mine didn't hold to well either. Today I'm going to calibrate everything again and see if it flies any better then before.

[@eagleviewquadcopter]

I always make a compass, and controller calibration before each flight. No matter brand or model.

[@hawkkim1974]

For altitude hold for drones using a cheap barometer, this kind of fluctuation is quite an expected behavior. For position hold, I guess we need more investigation. As for gimbal performance, actually it looks quite okay to me.

[@eddunham7259]

I also flew my Zino today with similar wind- but after doing all the firmware, flight control, gimbal and transmitter upgrades. I re-calibrated the joysticks, did a horizontal calibration, and compass calibrations. I had none of the problems shown in the video leading me to say this is not a fair test. Were any of the calibrations done? If so, you may have a defective unit. The viewing public needs to understand that what is shown here is not typical.

[@todd-617]

I agree. I did the firmware updates and all the calibrations too and mine is rock steady. Its possible he missed a step.

[@klopossa2]

Yep..needed to be some serious responsibility for caibration. On camera.

[@charlysog1751]

My Zino behaves much more stable even in strong winds than you can see in your performance. This week we had an average of 24 km / h / 4 bft) from west with stiff gusts (58 km / h / 7 bft). On the videos, there is nothing to recognize it. If the Zino in the strong wind in the air a bit "wobbly" but still stable, it bothers me not at all .......... Is your zino maybe a "beta model" or have no calibrations or updates been done?

[@InterCreatives]

That's exactly what I said in the first review... I'm starting to think it's a bad unit.

[@wwmilanl]

I purchase one Zino, 1 week ago, UPDATED all the firmware (Transmitter/Fly controller/Camera/Gimbal) It does fly OK, I agree when you go full forward it have the tendency to dive a little so I have to compensate, But no way near that this video show, In general I am happy with my zino,

You can't stereotype the Zino, in one video. I have seen many successful Zino flights and foliage.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hi Kelly, I am gratified to see you give the Zino another shot. Your experience with the flight controls and stability with the Zino in this video is typical. While I'm having a lot of fun flying the Zino, I do it while keeping it's limitations in mind. I always tell people it's not a drone to fly in windy conditions, and for sure fly in open areas. 😎 My advice to novice drone hobbyists is to buy a DJI Spark. Thank you for a great review Kelly! I enjoyed it.

[@OnlinecarshowNet1]

Where I do respect your opinion my purpose for this first drone isnt racing. I’m more concerned with it holding flights during, nav, orbit and follow me. The camera is what has sold me on it to be honest. I watched the JJRC x12, which would probably be another drone at same price point. The camera is noticeably different in end footage. The video from this drone isnt just 4K but the colors seem rich. So where I respect your opinion I wish the reviews you give on this drone are more relevant for the equipment on it. It has no optical or sonic sensors, so of course its going to struggle with just a barometer and GPS. There just isnt another drone with same quality of camera and features. If there is another 3 axis 4K option with GPS in that price point please let me know because I’m yet to find one. Its a lot of drone for 279.00 USD currently

[@princebenjamin1543]

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Hey Kelly, Glad to hear Hubsan reached out to you regarding the Zino. After watching these retest flight, I would not purchase one of these unless Hubsan can update their firmware to correct all these problems. The forward diving as you stated seems to be a design issue so that will probably never go away?? Thanks for taking the time to retest the Zino, and hopefully it has survived to fly another day, take care!

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Daniel Spot on, totally agree!

[@cltech9041]

The Zinononly uses a barometer for alt hold. I am wondering if Hubsan covered their barometer at all. The Zino cools itself with the air flowing through it. Barometers are affected by wind and other factors. This could be the reason it dips alot when flying fast. If anyone wants to try it...take apart your Zino and tape a small piece of foam over the barometer. Worth a try.

[@wanambi8553]

CL Tech, are you sure of it? I thought they use the GPS Attitude only. If you are right, it could explain a lot of fails. As I have seen a lot of reviews telling from overheating here could be one of the reasons.

[@cltech9041]

@@wanambi8553 GPS just gives the drone your lat and long. Altitude is set by the barometer. On the Fimi, Parrot, and DJI drones, they have a barometer, optical flow sensor, and ultrasonic sensor. The Mavic Pro and Air have dual sensors on the bottom ( 2 of each). That is why they are more precise than the other drones. Since the Zino has none of them, you can expect some inaccuracies. It's more like a scratch build APM quad. If you are used to those, then the Zino is fine. If you are looking for the precision of the Mavic, you will be dissapointed. I dont need a quad to land on an exact spot. I take off in an open area, so landing 10 ft from take off is good enough for me. I fly 200-400 ft up, so I am not worried about it flying around, dipping some, and hitting the ground. If you know your quad and its capabilities (what it can and can't do) you will know how to fly it.

[@wanambi8553]

@@cltech9041 think we are on the same side. What I see is that a lot of reviews are not fair. It's a challenge between apples and peers. The Zino as a pure GPS drone cannot do the same as a semi professional DJI one with a lot of sensors, optical and other physical help. This is, for me, the biggest fault of the most reviews. It doesn't help to say always the same not us and not Hubsan. I am sure there is space to optimize the software. It's interesting for me that they all use the barometer for altitude. This is of course horrible near the ground. You have air pressure changings everywhere , dark, bright, green, stone they all have different temperatures and so different pressures.

[@RICKHALBUR]

Thanks for giving Hubsan another chance but I agree with you Kelly. You should not have to fix problems that are in the drone that is brand new this should of been taken care of before going on the market. It seems Hubsan want to use the Drone community to do there R&D after putting it out for sell and this is just not right. We pay good money for these and they should be working and safe to use.

[@B-RadAlstonRiverCityRVA]

Kelly thank you for you honest review of this Zino. Seemed like it might have been a good drone for beginners but you have proven that to not be the case at the price point. I see this maybe falling into the "Under $100" market and maybe it would be okay at that price point for some. But personally I wouldn't invest in it at any price point considering what you can get for just a little but more than the current prices. Thanks again Kelly.

[@BassManStrikes]

You should do a re-review of this now as it flies much better with all the firmware updates since you did this video.

[@masterpdj2623]

I got my Zino two days ago and I sent it back this morning. Funny I'm just now seeing your review and you're right the drone is unpredictable and unstable in many situations. I paid $250 for their I call it their Fly more combo that included 2 batteries a pretty nice travel bag and extras. The Zino seem to fly ok on it's own like in RTH mode. But my Zino wouldn't fly straight with the remote that came with it and I knew it was gonna crash soon then later. So I decided to not push my luck and return it with no damage from a crash. If it would've flown half way decent I would've kept it at that price and sold cheap over the summer. Hubsan Zino still needs much work, the Fimi X8 is a much better drone.

[@bbrod68216]

Ok so you spent the entire video showing us it doesn't hover and fly well when it is a few feet off the ground. so? Who flies that way anyway? You never showed us how it actually flies when using it to like fly around more than a few feet off the ground! Fairly worthless info for most users, except those planning on filming a few feet off the ground without touching the sticks. I don't own this drone, and am not a huge Hubsan fan, but I wouldn't decide about buying a drone based on how well it holds it's position a few feet off the ground in heavy to moderate wind.

[@eagleviewquadcopter]

The best Hubsan Drone is the H501s. It fly nice with just 7 satellites. It's sad that it doesn't has a gimbal, but it's the easiest drone to fly. Fimi A3 also fly better than the Zino, and it does has a gimbal. BTW, thank you for this great and helpful video.

[@MrFittyTucker]

I almost feel bad for Hubsan but if this is the best they have to offer and they are still selling these in good conscience then they should just go out of business or atleast out of the drone business! Maybe they could make something like the Osmo Pocket since the camera seems to work! I would love to see one of the Big Reviewers (Such as Yourself Kelly) do an online interview with someone at Hubsan about how they can sell these things and not own up to what an unstable piece of crap that it truly is! You did what they asked with the firmware update and it is still unstable and in my opinion a dangerous drone! That is the third time this thing has crashed due to it being uncontrollable, it's just a matter of time before someone gets hurt by one of these pieces of crap! Kelly, I really appreciate the effort you put into this and how you even gave Hubsan a second chance to redeem themselves only for it to totally fail once again! Thanks Brother!

[@VPXM2012]

Kelly, good video big guy. As somebody receiving hardware for reviews, you've done good job. As a potential customer, I would just wait for something different lol

[@Dragontrumpetare]

I actually think it behaved much better than before. You have to think it do not have those extra assistance measures like DJI has with sensore everywhere that could help the drone keep in place. To controll a drone that close too a table means problems and to be frank you should now about that airpressure that goes down towards that table. Everytime you get up to a ok altitued the drones actually calms down and gets more stable. Not even my old Hubsan H501A can keep that stable that low. But yes, its not the best software they done from Hubsans side. I am sure if Hubans would have put a little optical sensore belove the drone, to help it keep in place and maybe a sensore that helped the barometer to keep it in place, it would have been really good. Its a pity that Hubsan didnt succed with this one. it seems like they just thought about the camera because the gimbal and camera is great. Such stable photage is not common for such a lowpriced gps drone. And Not even my Xiaomi Mi Drone kan keep that stable alignment to the horizon like this one can. I do hope Hubsan gets this drone good at same time. Its strange that there are some people out there, that has no issues with it at all?

[@wanambi8553]

I not sure if everyone knows how satellite navigation works. It depends on the angle, the quality of the signals and of course a free view to the satellites. If you have only the information of the position calculated by the angles it varies up to 5 metres (15 feet) you can have better position quality if you use broadcast signals. More satellites increase a little the accuracy. Car navigation systems cover this problem by setting the position to the next road. You can see this if you look on your transmitter to the high and/or horizontal position. I always see on the reviews highs jump from minus 0.3 to plus 0.5 feet metres or what ever you selected. If you have ultrasonic sensors it must become better it is like you get two (or more) position values. In this case it is no not fair to compare the Zino with a Spark or Mavic. You have to compare it with other GPS only drones. Of course Hubsan has to do something on the software. Maybe the can mix the position data with the attitude data (which are the air pressure) Maybe they can optimize the position algorithm. But, to be serious the H501SS does the same. Don't forget GPS is a military system and can be made inaccurate by military reasons. So the unexpected jump at the end can be a new received satellite with a slightly changes position. Again, Hubsan has to do some changings in the soft- and maybe in the hardware. But being fair, DJI as well got major problems with the Spark and the Mavic and it took time to solve them and make the copter stable as it is now. Fair winds Tom

[@RonaldBrown59]

The Zino isn't good in gusty winds and doesn't have as strong of GPS lock as a DJI drone. And does have altitude drop, especially when hovering a few feet off the ground. But I'm not sure you needed to spend most of the video hovering the Zino at around four feet above the ground. Does anyone really fly their drone that low for more than a few seconds. When the Zino is up fifty feet and not around any objects, the altitude drop seems to go away, and the drifting around in GPS lock is not an issue if you're actually flying, and not just hovering for most of your flight. Hubsan did release this drone before it was fully baked, there is no doubt about that. And it will always be more a hobbyist drone than DJI competitor.

[@klopossa2]

Yea, need to own the Calibration situation. Sometimes I have to calibrate my 501 twice. If it's wonky, I bring it in and induce a caibration with the TX. It flies well after that. I fly between tall trees so it must be a strong lock. I'm not takin it over these 100ft.. evergreens unless she's locked. Did try to pilot my way out and it ended up in one of them too hi to get. It blew down and the neighbor kid put it. On my car. Glued it back together and she flies great again. She's a good locker loiterer..but must be calibrated. Well. And all the issues about dancing and counter clockwise etc did not work for me. I do clockwise like the instructions say. And my hand is not covering the fuselage, or compass. And I keep it in the same spot...away from my phone, metal or anything magnetic. All basic drone stuff. But absolutely NOT optional.

I am so confused about this drone. In this video, and prior Zino videos on this channel, it seems to be all over the place regardless of wind. Yet in some other videos I've watched in various wind conditions the Zino was vastly more stable. Obviously Kelly is an experienced pilot so I'm not pointing fingers. Just seems that one guy's Zino acts very different than another guy's Zino. Is it an issue at Hubsan where they are putting out some Zino's that work great and others that are very unstable?

I think the problem here is you are comparing the Hubsan to a Mavic pro with out mentioning the PRICE? 15:43 Quote: "Something I have done with my Mavic, Many times" I also think that your negativity towards the Hubsan from the outset caused it to crash and not the firm wear update, So in a placebo effect kind of way, It was your fault :) I don't know that much about drones but I'm pretty sure you have to calibrate it before EVERY Flight because all the videos Ive just watched did this and the Hubsan sat stable! Hovered very accurate. Dustin Dunnill part one and 2 is more of a accurate example of the Hubsan than this video guys! Watch in his video at 8:06 sits mint!

Having no downward sensors to speak of was a huge , Huge mistake on Hubsans part. It is what it is. Caviat emptor !

[@allanconnor1865]

My current firm ware says 7.1

[@sersec8785]

Can you do a Hubsan Zino pro review

[@mtctookie25]

Hubsan, needs to go back to the drawing board with the Zino!

[@Friskee62]

I own one & I have never had any problems like that, ever...

[@QCGUY]

It’s not you buddy! It’s the ZINO and believe it or not some fly pretty well while others have totally different attitudes. It’s a quirky bird!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks. Yeah - I was really hoping that the firmware updates would fix the issue!

[@QCGUY]

Ready Set Drone It fixed a few things with the flight control but still a good way to go yet. Great update process right??? 😂

[@QCGUY]

Ready Set Drone did you do all your calibrations afterwards?

[@readysetdrone]

@@QCGUY Yes - I had done the compass calibration when I first got it and did the "GPS ACCURACY" thing too and it said that GPS accuracy was good.

[@QCGUY]

Ready Set Drone Im not pointing the finger at you because I know how finicky this quad is but after any firmware update a compass calibration and the horizontal calibration on flat level surface can do a great deal of good. Before you pass it on to your friend I would be interested to see how it does after those calibrations.

[@angellena5835]

Yo no lo actualicé y va perfecto. Recomiendo no actualizar si no es necesario. Las actualizaciones lo fastidian todo, sea teléfono, drone, etc...

[@andrewaltschwager5000]

I guess DJI aren't feeling too threatened.

[@CoasttoCoastDrones]

Sweet

[@stevenmauer5054]

Banggood is pushing $100.00 coupon to dump these... Final price is $269. Still not interested.. Thanks for the honest info. Be safe..

[@nighthawk0077]

Seems like you have an altitude hold/position lock 'fixation' ;-)

[@rcas350pilot8]

Why do they need a firmware update? Did they not take the thing out and fly it themselves before they started shipping them. Surely they would have discovered the drifting problem and corrected before shipping them to dealers. Why do they do things half ass like this.

[@rcas350pilot8]

Heard many times the GPS on Hubsan is atrocious. Looks like they still haven't figured it out. On Edit Put that damn thing back in the box and send it back before someone gets seriously injured.

[@KingKing-jj7yl]

Well i start you tube channel as a zahid awan witch one camera is best for me plz reply me

[@olddogg60]

The Hubsan Zino definitely is a disappointment. Thanks for the video.

[@joeshmo5399]

Hubsan should offer a recall on the Zino.

[@CoasttoCoastDrones]

I'm beginning to think you have a bogus unit

[@RICKHALBUR]

Bill you would think Hubsan would test a drone before they would send it to Ready set drone I guest there not to smart LOL

[@frankkolic9743]

All their units are bogus, they went cheap making this from the controller to the electronics inside it's all garbage. Please don't waste your $ on this bird.

[@jimmythundarrsdrumcoverser492]

As a real pilot and Drone operator, in my opinion this is what happens when drone operators becomes so spoiled by the DJI like spot on accuracy and auto flight control drones....They get so used to that when you put another drone in their hands they immediatly crash or lose control of the drone....Pilot error here through and through... It not the Hubsans fault, it only did what you directed it to...And how could you do a flight positioning test just few feet off the ground....Do your tests at a safe altitude bro instead of below a fence another few feet away to avoid these kind of accidents until you are familiar with your craft....

[@JerryCalverley]

Good second try. Still honest review.

[@Clonyxl8]

No honest review from this Hubsan basher...!!!

[@dragonhank4217]

I myself bought this lemon thinking it was a good deal and had it ever since it came out. I did every update they presented followed all their confusing instructions, and still this crap does nothing right. When I did get it to fly in felt jerky and unresponsive at times, I finally have had it with Hubsan they used to be good but ever since they launched this quad they've been going downhill... Anybody want to buy a quad ...cheap?

[@angelgrey9]

I own a zino for 2 weeks now and i can tell all of you it doesn't fly like his 2020 firmware update will fix that i know the video is more than a year so maybe its fix now Zino is better if you are a beginner or casual flyer who appreciate 4k pictures and video hubsan zino is perfect

[@revparsons3tl]

How are you getting on with your drone I've just orderd one

[@LG-jf9ht]

I will buy zino dron.

[@rontanawat]

สนใจ

[@bebopsky]

Personally, I wouldn't use a drone, especially these Mavic-stye drones in moderate to heavy winds. I mean what's the point...why risk it?

[@nikosalf1]

$288.99 for Hubsan H117S Zino RC Drone Quadcopter shop : www.banggood.com/custlink/mDKmtJtz9c use coupon BG15H117S

[@anyshitt]

If I get one it will just increase ZINOmber of drone's that i say goodbuy to as they dis-appear.

[@mohaimenabdalrahman7654]

Intresting♥️🌹

[@camrowdrone6497]

Camera footage is good,but my old 501 is better in the wind just 👍🏻

[@BartleyNorman]

Focus Check Batman!

[@gbkiller007]

Looks uncalibrated. Thats how my pro acts if its due a calibration. BTW........Dont just calibrate for the sake of it. EEPROMS dont like too many overwrites. Only calibrate from new, after a crash or if you are getting erratic behaviour. If you are happy you calibrated it correctly then you have a dodgy Zino, Or maybe the original zino was never any good but the Pro is sweet for the pricepoint. Love it. And I can fly where I like.

[@MyManuel1975]

at 400 dollars with no optical flow or ultrasonic and strong winds your expecting it to behave like a dji...its just like driving a honda and expecting it to drive like a ferrari..silly

[@hamzaxArcueid4590]

Man Per the dji mavic air had problems when it came out three months later after firm ware updates no problem sometimes you just have to give this drones time and patience then you will get the good results
