When the low-battery alert is triggered, a warning will appear on the phone app display and the drone will automatically return to the home point at the set altitude, unless there is no GPS signal or the battery level is too low. There is a feature that will allow you to capture short creative videos from different angles completely hands-free. Its retractable phone holder can accommodate quite large phones. There are included 3 types of cables to connect your smartphone to the controller —Micro USB and Type-C for Android phones and Lightning for Apple phones. Hubsan’s new REFINED ZINO MINI PRO is probably the first drone in its weight class with an optional 4G communication. The module is installed on top of the flight battery and is connected to the USB port. With the GPS follow, the drone will follow you from behind or parallel to your position. There is also an orbit or point of interest mode, in this mode, you can set the transmitter or the drone’s position as the point of interest, and it will automatically circle that area.

As an added bonus, the Zino Mini Pro includes 3-direction obstacle avoidance, ensuring that your drone can veer away from trees, power lines, and other obstacles in its path. This comes in handy when you’re controlling your drone from a distance. And while more basic models have a flight distance of around 6 kilometers, you can control your Zino Mini Pro from up to 10 kilometers away! The 3000mAh battery provides the drone with up to 23 minutes of flying time but needs to be removed for re-charging. A dedicated battery charger must be used and will take about 4 hours until an LED indicates full charge. Pros and Cons The Zino Mini features a 1/1.3″ CMOS image sensor with 48MP photo resolution. The UHD camera is installed on a 3-axis gimbal and has a 6.8mm (EFL) fixed-aperture F1.85 lens with an 84º field of view (FOV). It allows you to record in 4K@30fps, 2.7K@30/60fps, and 1080@30/60/90fps resolutions with up to 200 Mbps. You can also zoom in on subjects while recording with up to 6x magnification. Photos have 8000×6000 pixels and are captured in JPG or JPG+RAW (uncompressed) formats. Videos and photos are stored on the drone’s internal eMMC 64/128GB memory. The files can be transferred via USB cable to your computer. The biggest problem with the built-in memory is that when it fails, it cannot be replaced, like a memory card. The drone comes with 3 speed modes, one is called the movie mode, which is the slowest mode and allows you to shoot cinematic video footage.Another game changing moment, the sub 250g drone market has been crying out for obstacle detection and now it’s here. The Zino Mini Pro can detect objects at the front, the rear and from below, creating a much safer flying environment for beginners and experts alike! Owners of the Zino speak highly of the performance, build and image quality, comparing it favourably to the market leader, the Mavic drones from DJI. Capture High Dynamic Range of colours, which will also improve shots taken in low light situations. The drone is powered by a 3000 mAh lithium battery that provides it with an official flight time of 40 minutes. However, don’t expect to fly for 40 minutes in the real world, drone companies are known to exaggerate the flight performance of their drones.

When the drone takes off, provided there are at least six GPS signals detectable, the GPS coordinates of the take-off location are recorded. You can set the preferred altitude for a safe return in the app of the Zino, depending on the terrain you’re in. One-Key Return to Home No more lost MicroSD Memory Cards, the Zino Mini Pro comes with 64GB of built-in onboard storage so you’ll never forget your memory card or lose it. Specifications Aircraft The most worrying issue encountered in the testing process was the random disconnection of the USB. It happened only two times but scared me like hell. I read that other ZINO MINI Pro pilots also get the ‘USB cable is not connected’ message mid-flight.The Zino Mini Pro is a good looking drone and despite weighing under 250g, it comes with many impressive features. The others are normal mode and sports mode, these will allow you to fly at speeds of 36 km/h and 56 km/h respectively. As one would expect of this class of quadcopter, it has brushless motors that make for a smoother and more power-efficient flight. In fact, it travels at up to 36 kilometres per hour (10 metres per second). The Zino Mini Pro comes with an HD camera that has a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with a fixed-aperture f/1.85 lens that has an 84° FOV and an ISO range of 100-3200. Built-in 64G memory&Power System】support built-in 64G memory to content your storge, comes with accurate battery power monitoring, 3000mAh 4s battery supports 40minutes cruising at slow speed (25km / h), Brushless motor 20Ax4 and Strong stability with 6 Axis Gyro, stronger wind resistance, easier to control.

The 4K Ultra High Definition camera captures fine detail in rich colours. Images are sharp and vivid, although in very bright conditions like you find on a sunny beach, the optional filters will give a better tonal range. The actual battery alert level is dynamically calculated from distance and altitude to ensure that enough power remains for the return leg. The 3 axes reduce blurring of video capture by compensating for drone movement. Gimbal movement is slow and smooth. The gimballed camera comes with a separate protective cover. As for the drone’s flight performance, when it was initially released, there were a lot of complaints with regards to stabilisation, video quality and obstacle avoidance, however, they have since fixed a lot of these issues and, although, there are still minor problems, on the whole, the Hubsan Zino Mini works as advertised. Hubsan Zino Mini Pro vs DJI Mini 2Something that may disappoint some people is that the Zino Mini Pro does not have a micro SD card slot. However, it does come with a decent internal storage capacity of 64GB and they are also planning on releasing a version with 128GB storage.

There’s nothing about the drone one can complain about, but what makes it truly stand out is the 4K camera mounted on a 3-axis gimbal, giving precise control over pitch, roll and yaw. The orientation of the camera can either be adjusted manually or left to the intelligent camera modes built-in. 3-Axis GimbalHowever, it must be noted, the obstacle avoidance isn’t as intelligent as the ones found in the likes of the DJI and Autel Evo drones. The drone can capture images in 48MP and although the specs say that it only captures in JPEG, in the app, there is an option for people to capture in RAW images as well. However, there have been reported issues with RAW image files not being readable with post-processing software, although recent firmware updates have tried to resolve this, issues still remain. The fourth-generation flight control technology further improves the learning and adaptability to environmental interference, especially the redundant error correction ability of GPS data, and greatly improves the flight stability of aircraft in complex electromagnetic environments. Another intelligent flight mode is the waypoint mode, this allows you to draw a flight path on the app and the drone will automatically fly along that route.
