WHICH IS BETTER? Hubsan Zino Mini Pro vs DJI Mini 2

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Nice work Aldryn. My experience with the two drones is very similar. The Hubsan drone flies great, but the camera has a long way to go. The Mini 2 is heads and tails better video quality. It's not even close.

[@stickfurniture02]

The Hubsan drone in manual mode with the correct settings makes the DJI MINI camera look like trash. Low light included. You buy a camera drone for the camera so learn how to use it. Zino Mini, 4k 30fps / 1/60 shutter speed. The DJI MINI can't touch it.

[@f13dfx]

@@stickfurniture02 Why don’t you “put your money where your mouth is” by doing a side-by-side comparison of the Hubsan Zino Mini Pro vs the DJI Mini 2 in manual mode. I’ve watched The Great Explorer’s comparison videos and honestly I expect the HZMP to be a lot better because it has a larger sensor, but even in Manual Mode I just don’t see that big of a difference! Added to the fact that there are so many issues out-of-the-box, it’s not even worth my time fiddling around to get everything right, let alone get the HZMP in a functional & flying state!

[@DroneViewsMedia]

@@stickfurniture02 Sry ....not a hope of that being true. The Hubsan Zino Mini Pro is far from being a Mini 2 killer. I expect the Autel Nano and the Mini 3 to be the next standard in Mini drones

[@DroneViewsMedia]

@@f13dfx The Hubsan Zino Mini Pro has been a disaster so far, that said, I expect Hubsan will iron most of these issues out in 6 months to a year.

[@luckylarry5112]

[@jjmcwill1881]

THTS REALLY WHAT FOLKS HAVE TO CONSIDER. SUPPORT.

[@davidfantle6721]

Thanks for this nice comparison. I was really hoping to like the Hubsan, as I've avoided getting a mini 2 for lack of follow-me mode and obstacle avoidance features. My impression of the comparison videos is that the Husban seems to under-expose, has less dynamic range and a bluish color cast, over-sharpening artifacts with larger halos around objects, and 'jittery' stabilization compared to the DJI. Thanks for saving me the money!

Thanks for the great content. We love comparisons. Mini 2 still the best. Can’t deal with the jitter on the Hubsan.

[@honda116969]

I guess it's just personal preference on what you prefer, DJI has treated me well since I have been playing with their toys. I have a the 2 drones I need the mavic Air 2 & the mini 2. If I had money like that I would definitely buy these new ones and try them out but I just don't have it like that (💰 wise) 😂

[@matigasUlo]

I was rooting for the Hubsan to do better but I think the mini 2 has it over all. The colors pop more and the mini is over all more refined drone. No matter if it does not obstacles avoidance and tracking.

[@stickfurniture02]

When you pay all that money for either drone you pay for the camera. Manual mode is best on any camera and Zino mini is no different. 4k 30fps and 1/60 shutter speed and DJI can't touch it.

[@matigasUlo]

[@kramdsm]

Hubsan - (no go) I'll wait on the Nano +. Great job on the compare video.

[@cabe_bedlam]

Whilst I prefer the desaturated look of the Hubsan, that vibration/jello/rolling shutter jitter is an absolute deal-breaker. I'd be super into seeing this test with the Autel nano when it finally drops.

[@Relics]

You can fix color in post that rolling shutter you cannot

[@zeeninetynine]

It's not just jittery, it lacks sharpness.

[@JG-mw7uy]

The colors look excellent on the Mini 2 and look better in low light despite having a smaller sensor.

[@stickfurniture02]

It may in auto but in manual mode, 4k 30 and 1/60 shutter speed the Zino's sensor works way better.

Referring to the video recording results. The Video image of Hubsan Zino Mini is shaking: it looks like the Image stabilizer is not working properly. Meanwhile the DJI Mini 2 video Image is so soft and just perfect stabilized... Thanks for this great video 👍🙏🙏

[@DJDblR]

Seems to have similar stability, which is somewhat surprising given DJI's reputation for great camera stability. As far as picture richness, the Hubsan will require a bit of color correction during post. So, unless the user is very familiar with color correction editing, the DJI might be a better option.

[@The_18th_Fret]

I don't think the stabilization is close at all, you can see the Hubsun has slight jitters and shakes when in flight whereas the DJI is smooth as butter. look here 2:10

[@9_3tilinfinity]

I was considering the hubsan. But after watching many videos and footage of what the Mini 2 can do, I decided that was my best option! Just want to say thank you for your content 🙏

[@wanders175]

If you look at the video from your camera pointing at you and looking at the ground color where you are, it matches the DJI Mini 2 perfectly, where the Hubsan Zion Mini Pro has a blueish washed out color. DJI Rules here of course.

[@SkyTouch08]

Great vid as always, DJI mini 2 still rules

[@konfuzed16]

Hubsan is cooler kinda like P4P. In a few shots it seemed to retain more detail than the Mini 2 but on my phone screen can't tell if that's just over sharpening. The jitter though is a deal breaker. Would be interested to see some blown up shots to compare detail and see if the 200Mbps advertised on the Hubsan makes any difference.

[@kelviskelvis7140]

I think DJI Mini 2 has the video quality edge - also its US $50 less

[@davidhoward6254]

Seems to me like there's a little bit of camera jiggle in the Hubsan. I sort of like the contrast of Hubsan's video (it was less 'red' to me than DJI). Both seem to be good flyers, but if the primary goal is to have quality video I think DJI wins this battle.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Nice comparison of these two Mini Drones. I notice a lot of gimbal shake on the Hubsan. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@CPstudioTheTraveller]

The Zino Mini Pro video still has a blue caste, and makes mess out of foliage fine detail..and then there's the jitter during forward flight. The Mini 2 performed As expected.

[@stickfurniture02]

The Zino mini has a better camera but needs to be used in manual mode. Any reviewer that knows what he is doing can prove that.

[@arymu007]

Great vid. Compared to the DJI, the Hubsan holds up nicely. But, the Hubsan showed a little weakness in the still shots where you can see vibrations in the video image. The color was off on the Zino Mini making the DJI pictures look a lot warmer.

@@1catchem thanks for sharing your opinion

[@Athiril]

Hubsan image quality is unacceptable. The fact it has a gimbal and does this is odd, it means either vibrations are making it to the camera/gimbal throwing it off, or the IMU in the gimbal is getting too jittery of a signal to correct for. Perhaps soft mounting the motors would help with that. They need to fix this ASAP.

You did a good job with the comparison keep up the good work. But with my opinion and my experience flying the DJI mini 2 I'd go with the mini too for this exact reason is Dji is a guaranteed product. It's guaranteed to come back to you it's guaranteed to fly at least four or five miles and it's guaranteed if you crash it and break it as long as you pay that $49 the first time you get a new drone back can Hudson guarantee that probably not

[@elsabiopr]

When it comes to photography, it's my belief that mini 2 was victorious

[@jumpydesign]

In auto the DJI has clear advantage its using software better to make a more pleasing shot BUT for photographers with manual setting and post editing the Hubsan camera might be better (if specs are true) depends if you want to put in extra work or get images straight out of camera. Has anyone done a editing RAW photo side by side? I'd like to see it.

[@danieltraum5384]

I was really looking forward for the Hubsan, cause I really miss tracking and Obstacle avoidance on my mini 2 and am still trying to figure out my second drone. I think I'll just wait for the autel and have a look there. Would be nice for a german drone flyer to have all that in below 250g. Otherwise I think, I'll snap a mavic 3 and just stop thinking about anything else. Still sad, that thereis not much competition for the dji gimbals...

Thank you very much for this eye-opening comparison. As a filmmaker, this is not a question of "better of worse" - the Hubsan seems to have serious issues with video quality. I notice that with the Hubsan, horizons and central part of the image are jittering, while it does not happen i.e. when pointed 90 degrees on top of the house. I wished the Mini 2 had the sensors of the Hubsan - but with THAT kind of video I would never be able to use the Hubsan's video for any of my films. I prefer the Mini 2's compulsory forcing the pilot to be good at both flying AND at creating nice footage.

[@samuelgreenway]

I did notice in one shot the DJI had a white sky and the Hubsan had a blue sky, I think it might be just a matter of settings, Hubsan is more blue shifted with a slightly lower exposure. I think both are good, but DJI is more polished. Hubsan is known for taking up to 6 months fix everything after launch from what I hear

[@tenniselbow74]

I feel like Hubsan is miles ahead of DJI in terms of proper implementation of shakey video. DJI video is so smooth it looks too fake. I want my video to look like it was shot on a tiny drone and not be mistaken for fancy CGI. I feel like if I had the DJI drone I would have to do quite a bit of post processing adding in a video destabilizer and maybe some other hipster thing like film grain or something which would probably add a couple hours to my render time on my pentium II processor. I just don't know if it's worth it.

1. MP footage is definitely sharper than that of the M2 2. M2 footage is warmer than that of the MP 3. M2 exposed better in the twilight/overcast backlighted shot ( 3:08 ) but note that there's also much darker cloud cover in the sky than that in the MP shot or it could just be the difference in auto exposure calibration between them or the slight difference in sensor size (dynamic range) or...and so on and so forth 4. ZP has a better dronie characteristic in that it progressed into a rule-of-thirds composition of the subject (you); perhaps it was intentionally coded into the firmware (can be repeated each time) or just a mere fluke 5. though I like the MP, I'm not currently sold on it yet due to some neutered features and other issues; I'll wait til they iron them out and the firmware/app subsequently matures...and the price point becomes sensible; the ZMSE seems more polished out of the box 6. as long as the PITA NFZ is implemented, I'll never patronize deejay-eye if I can help it.
