Great video but if I'm paying $500+ dollars for a drone there should be no issues whatsoever. Is there a way to tell if you got a first batch drone vs a later one?
Alishanmao, I decided to buy Hubsan Zino Mini because of your videos. You give us a lucid view of the drone technologies, pros, cons and fixes. Congratulations for your spectacular work!
Hi Luiz, Thank you so much and If you have any questions, and guidance, Please never hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to see you enjoy the ZMP :)
Honestly, I've helped many people make repairs,.....to fpv drones. Not brand new $650 gps drones that are still under warranty.. The Best advice you could give them is tell them to return it for a factory repair or replacement instead of advising them to do something that could void the warranty. Then maybe hubsan would be more diligent in producing a product that doesn't require customer repairs right out of the box. Just my opinion.
And another thing you might not be considering.....if someone actually breaks something attempting the repair you are demonstrating ( like breaking that cable when you pull that silver tape off ) then hubsan definitely won't warranty it. Then the customer is on the hook for the cost of the repair , when all along they could have just returned it. And they will probably be upset with you for not just giving them the best advice by suggesting they simply return it. Seems like a no brainer to me.
@@RCinginSC I will sure drop a line to feedback this to hubsan representative because before making this video i also thought of it and that is why I have put it in video description clearly to check warranties before doing this.
Nice to welcome you from Poland. I bought a kit with 4 batteries myself today. If you have any contact with the manufacturer, give them any remarks on how to improve the software. Ie how the drone behaves in tracking (the shadow causes no tracking, and that they work on the camera in Auto mode)
If I buy a drone of this price point and it has issues out of the box, I promise, It will be getting shipped back. Who would try and fix it themselves? Not very good advice.
yes sir, only 4 screws and two cables to pull. I will check the safe method to remove and install the wider silver cable with engineer and post another video. its a great feature because if you break camera or gimbal due to a crash, you can replace it and who knows if Hubsan releases plug and play a night vision Thermal cam gimbal that can be replaced you know. good possibilities here.
@@alishanmao Hi guys, I have been unable to find any updates regarding the release of the thermal variant that hubsan was planning to release at one point. If the gimbal is interchangeable as you say, would it be possible to swap out one gimbal for another thermal gimbal for a non-thermal drone or vice versa? And Mr Alishanmo are you planning to review the thermal hubsan drone when or if it releases?
Why would anyone spend $600 on a drone and have to do self repairs ? Question - if that plastic strip is really not needed and causing trouble, why didn’t the tech engineers at Hubsen know this ? Another question- if we did our own repairs wouldn’t that void any warranty or doesn’t this drone have a warranty? Another question - if this is a known issue , shouldn’t Hubsen ask us to return the drone for a new one ? I have to be honest and say that why would anyone purchase a drone that they have to repair themselves ot worst yet purchase a drone with a j own defect and the company wanting us to fix it ? I think your an honorable man and even you have to admit this is the strangest thing we have all seen when it comes to a new drone launch
First thing you need to realize that not everyone is having this issue. only one guy who reported this to me and i made a video to help him out and if anyone in future have this issue will sure be able to fix his drone easily. Now tell me, would you rather send your drone to a dedicated repair center by paying money and pay for repairs and wait for drone to come back, or would you rather open 4 screws and secure a cable and resolve your issue? Hubsan has an amazing product and they are constantly improving it after feedback, which is also the same case with other drone makers. do not forget DJI mini made people cry for over a year, it took dji a year to fix issues in their first Mini. same here, I am sure hubsan will fix all bugs quicker and we have a winner drone here.
Hey man, thank you one more time for your videos regarding the Zino Mini Pro, you seem to be well connected to Hubsan's tech team. Unfortunately, here in Germany, far away from Shenzhen, the support doesn't work that well with Hubsan, if you have a question. Sometimes they seem not to understand the issues, sometimes they are simply not answering on a request. For example: My drone came unsealed, and the spare propeller blades are missing. I requested to have them sent to me, and asked for an explanation why my box wasn't sealed like others, as I saw it in some unboxing videos, also, why I had to find a receipt for the drone that stated a price of 80 bucks (to be precise: $, not stating, which $ have been meant). So I figure that my drone has been pre-owned by another person before they have sent it to me. Hubsan asked me for the SN, then no reaction anymore from their side, on the propeller issue they requested an unboxing video (fortunately I've made one) where they saw a possible"bulge" at the lid of the soft case, that came out as some plastic wrap behind a well hidden zipper, my question where I could at least buy myself some spare propellers has been left unanswered, as well as my question on what this one year of free Hubsan Care is good for and how to use it in case it covers any damage or so... As you can see: You are in a lucky situation. To me it is more a bittersweet experience: As an early adopter I've paid for the drone in early May, waited patiently for 3 months, got a obviously pre-owned drone with an unresolved gimbal issue (horizon alignment doesn't work, it always looks as if the drone tips to the side, you can calibrate the gimbal as often as you want - stays the same), the support and the care program seems to be worth zero, I wonder where I could even buy spare parts in case I need it once..., but hey..., they've sent me some white Hubsan coat lately..., that fits a child. I don't want to talk about the quality of the camera yet, since this potential is still not completely developed. But, the photos that I see so far from this 48MP cam is so much worse than expected, that I simply want to mention it. My conclusion is that I cannot recommend this drone, not because it is not functioning, but because of the support behind the product. I mean it is nice to feel safe with the obstacle avoidance and so, even though the alarm is way too loud, and comparable to a backing garbage truck. My experience tells me: a product is always only as good, as the support behind is. I figure, soon dji will release a new drone that will have obstacle avoidance not only to the front as well. So I would give Hubsan some chance to fix their issues until then. If they fail, then it would have been an excursion for me, returning to a safe haven, called dji. Thank you one more time for your videos. It's always a pleasure watching them. 👍🏼
There is the lenghty train of unresponsivness behind Hubsan support. But at least they are trying to change that [or simulate that :) ] ua-cam.com/video/On-OcPFeR0o/v-deo.html. Anyway anyone who buy goods from far should be ready: - to be unlucky looser; - to apply oneself hands to fix problems.
Thank you so much for your detailed, reply. I feel sad for your experience, and I will mention this to hubsan rep. and hope they can pick up the pace to support you soon. did you email to order@hubsan.com and you got a reply? I will let the Rep see this comment for sure.
@@alishanmao Hi, sure, I wrote to them. Many times already, and it was quite difficult because some of their answers didn't really made clear what they wanted from me, so I had to assume sometimes the expected. For example, I wrote to them that there were no spare propellers, and that the drone box came unsealed; their answer was: "Hello there, please provide the video about the drones to me. And please find if it in the other where," ??? I asked if they expect an unboxing video, the answer was: "Yes, you'd better provide the video for the first time you received it, and then I can provide to my colleague to check it." ...Good to know that most Chineese people are very friendly and pleasing, else I would have thought it was a threat. 🤣🤣🤣 Fortunately, I've made a video, not professionally like a techie yt influencer, but fair enough to show the original unpacking from scratch, because it was a huge file, I've uploaded it for them, and sent the link. After six days where nothing happened, I again wrote to them, and again they asked for an unboxing video. And the drone's QR code. :-) Another 5 days later they sent me a white paper-thin coat with a Hubsan logo on it, the size fits my 15 year old son. :o) Thank you, Hubsan, I wanted propellers, but got a coat. No information at all why it was sent to me... And after I sent them a thank you for the coat, another email came, telling me, that there WERE propellers, and I should check one more time. And a photo with blades in the lid, where I then have found the plastic wrap. So, no spare propellers for me. I would buy some, if they were available. And the fact, that the box came unsealed hasn't been explained at all, so I must believe that I got a used drone (there were even flight records on the drone, but I erased them since I thought it might have been a test), that it's been pre-sold to someone who gave it back (that maybe explains the malfunction of the gimbal), and the longer I have it with these unresolved issues, the more I think about switching to dji in the future. I simply feel lost with Hubsan after all this hassle. Sorry...
@@BrandenburgTV well i got two of those coats too hahahaha. maybe the one you got the propellers were in the pockets? did you check :) I hope hubsan rep will see these comments and pick up the support in good manners for you buddy. I will let them read these comments for sure.
@@alishanmao See, Ali, THAT idea is a good one! :-D Will check the pockets of the coat, maybe there are 120,000 propeller blades in the pockets, and I haven't checked it yet! ;-)
great video thank you. I ordered the Zino mini pro and will receive it tomorrow. How will I know if it's a first or second batch? I suppose I'll be doing a lot of updates to it first off. This is my first drone.
Very good video my friend.....I completely stripped down a BEAST S906 Pro. As you say...VERY easy.....I did however take photos of the stages as I removed layer after layer....THANK GOODNESS i did. Good troubleshooting..good fix.
Excellent video, we also have this drone on our channel, I had no problem on the first flight, but the drone is warming up a lot and many Brazilians have had problems with falling
I assume that opening the drone would invalidate any warranty? Great video yet again Ali. I am watching your experiences with the Hubsan with great interest. Owning a Mini2 and an Air 2S I can't justify the purchase of another sub 250g drone at the moment but am very interested in the features added and to be added to the Zino Mini Pro. 1) Hubsan including notification of upcoming features in the firmware updates is to be applauded. This is in stark contrast to DJI who don't even tell users in any detail what changes are in their updates and leave it to them to work it out for themselves, adding and taking away features without warning. 2) The circle option, relying on using the drone GPS location as the centre of the circle when set rather than object tracking, is a good one. DJI usually lose the object within a quarter of a circle. It would be great to have both options and I assume that when tracking and creative shots the Hubsan will have both. 3) Waypoints. The map drawing option is excellent and exactly how waypoint mission planning should be. DJI restrict waypoints to timelapse only on the Air2S and three are none on the Mini2. Huge win for Hubsan. 4) Take note DJI! If your next Mini doesn't have front and rear sensors and these features, shame on you. :-) Ali, one more test request. When RTH, do you have control of yaw, pitch and gimbal in the same way that we do on the Mini 2? Keep up the great work
Yes Mike, I have mentioned that in the video description that before doing this people should check with their seller about warranty. but again, there is one thing that i like about hubsan drones specially this ZMP, that if you crash and break camera or gimbal, its an easy replacement, by the user himself. unlike dji, you have to send the drone back for repairs, extra expenses, pay repairs and wait all the time until drone returns. so its a good point here that people can replace such modules themselves. Maybe hubsan should not void warranty if someone replaces or fixes gimbal. yes I agree with point 1. point 2 once the object tracking is active again, i think that will be best option to circle. rather than using POI feature. point 3. and then there is more that you can edit each waypoint for its altitude attributes point 4. let us see what comes with Mini 3 :D test request noted and will do on next flight buddy. thank you for your support
@aIishanmao If you are so sure of your truth you'd be using your own name, pal. Oh, and posting videos of your own. Of course, you'd need a drone for that and I rather suspect you don't. Oh well. Ali's videos are straightforward evidence based. When something isn't great, he says so. When something is, he says so. He does a great job.
You paint a more optimistic view of ZMP than most reviewers I've seen. I think Hubsan Zino needs to pay you for serving them so well. Your videos which are based on your own real live hands on experience, is going to turn lots of pessimists into optimists and for that, you will be rewarded; thank you!
thank you because i am going to receive my New Hubsan this week and this lesson tha you give us is goin to help me in Argentina to anticipate problems and I am ready to open the box and the device and be sure that everything is under control before fly.
if everything is good after open boxing, do not open the drone or do anything. just do compass and vision position system calibration and fly it, enjoy it. :)
I experienced GPS disconnection issues as well. I contacted Hubsan for a confirmation. No reaction so far, but I am not going to get them away with that. The fix is hardware fix. I don't want to do it w/o formal confirmation. You know there is a concept in manufacturing called "RECALL" especially in a car industry. I don't expect from Hubsan to make "recall" but at least to publish officially the fix it would be fair and decent. You surely have some influence on Hubsan, can you ask, please, them to behave like respectful manufacture ? And thank you for your video.
I hope hubsan can pay more attention to customer support. their drones are getting better and better but customer support is extremely important too. i have told hubsan so many times about it and i keep on telling them that success is in Customer support
What a beautiful video specially for the photos on your PC, Italian Dolomites: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and Monte Paterno, the Gardena Valley, the Sella Group and the Sassolungo Group!!!
Excellent Vid and this helped me so much on the "weak GPS signal". Also just wanted to let you know that I have a 200 GB SD card and it works! there website appears to show that you can only use up to 128GB.
alishanmao Gracias, Mi hubsan zino mini pro no me daba imagen desde el principio, (despegándolo claro), hace unos días, y me tenía mareado probando otros móviles y luego me falló el gimbal y hoy gracias a tí y a sabiendas que perdería el Care Refresh arreglado, gracias amigo. alishanmao Thank you, My hubsan zino mini pro did not give me an image from the beginning, (taking it off of course), a few days ago, and I was dizzy trying other mobiles and then my gimbal failed and today thanks to you and knowing that I would lose the Care Refresh fixed, thanks friend.
Thanks for the tips, is there any way to know if drone has the silver tape that reduces GPS signal just based on S/N? I don't want to open just to see if it's there (screws on plastic don't like to be removed and inserted multiple times), but If it makes some improvement to GPS reception and I know it's there, I would do it..
I really like the way Hubsan have made the camera and gimbal so easy to remove. The connector on the (ribbon?) cable looks like the sort they use in iPhones, that presses into place, rather than the simpler locking type ribbon connector. I guess I'll take the gimbal screws out when I get mine to see if it's a "first batch", with the tape that reduces GPS.
very well said. Most of the people break camera or gimbal upon small crashes. and then end up sending drones back to manufacturer for repair. this however, they can replace a gimbal and camera easily. its like a modular thing. hope later hubsan can release better cameras, or Thermal cameras too
Hi Mr Teacher. I have a question? HELP ME PLEASE. what should i do when everything is up to date and calibrated and i'm going to start a flight tells me a message "Gimbal under protection, please check if it's stuck" Of course I removed his protection. But first I forgot to remove and triggered the drone. I immediately noticed and removed the protection. Now see and always listen to the message above. From São Paulo, Brazil. Waiting for your comments.
always remove protection cover first then put drone on a flat surface. make sure no stone or grass is touching the gimbal. now turn on the drone, and let it initialize. do gimbal calibration, restart the drone and try it.
Hi, Firstly thank you for all the zino mini pro tests you have been doing, as far as I can see on you tube, you are by far the best reviewer I've seen and I've watched every one you have done on this drone. I wonder if you can advise me on 2 things... firstly since last night the gimbal started twitching all over the place, even in film mode. I've done the calibration but its still doing the same? Secondly, when i Zoom in and take a picture or zoom in on video, you can see it zoom in on screen, but the video's/pictures I download from the drone have not attempted to zoom in at all!?
@@alishanmaoThanks, I have emailed them with a like to some footage I have on youtube demonstrating the issue. I also attached the log files... oddly theres 4 GimbalDataLog files... all of which are 0k!!??
@@alishanmao Hi Ali - Unfortunately like so many others with issues we find there is just no response whatsoever, having read there official forum I can see lots of people with underlying issues never get a response. Check out ua-cam.com/video/WSqc9kploRA/v-deo.html watch from about 3 mins in! I have a few issues but this one just makes it not worth even using :(
Hi, I thought your video was really good and your sense of humor was even better. Congratulations. On my Hubsan Ace Pro the message error gimbal 4000 appears, do you think it is also a problem with the cable? Hug
I do not know buddy. thank you for your support to my work. hubsan has screwed so many users and my followers who bought after watching my videos. i have stopped supporting this trash company long time ago
@@alishanmao they say the blackhawk is the same as Hobson ace pro. My guess is that these are the same in some regards. Is there a way you might be able to find this out thru your tech guy? Thanks
Thanks Alishanmao, I did this operation (as also suggested by hubsan support) but after two flights again the gimbal gave error, plus I continuously have disconnections between remote and drone, and remote and iphone. I'm waiting for a response from customer support but mine is definitely defective.
Thanks for sharing. you can possibly put some glue on the cables and they will stick there. they might coming loose. but yes for other issues, do contact customer support and they will replace your drone with a new one, once they find its faulty.
Thankyou for another informative video. Yesterday I was showing 13 satellites and weak GPS signal. My unit did indeed have this tape. I put my meter on it and under the plastic coating it measured 4 Ohms resistance end to end. So a shield. Not such a good idea perhaps if the GPS module is behind. Although if it is receiving that many satellites it may been down to noise from local power lines.
Dear sir, you do Avery good job! I have learn a lot of things! I got a issue that my gps not working any more! I can see the Grey tape behind the gimbal so opfully that's the problem!? I'll check that and remove it and it's gonna fix this gps prob. Also that might solve another prob witch is that the app always ask to proceed the compass process?! I'have done the obstacle calibration with success... However, I might be able to return a bad drone?! I'LL SEE! Have a very nice evening. Ta again for helping! All the best. Chris!
You said you have a direct communication with Hubsan, can you please tell if they plan to improve the camera controls for this drone, I see this 1/1.3" sensor is more capable than we had seen until now and think they can improve with software updates.
yes they are busy improving and working very hard on this. if you have any new ideas and feedback. you can tell me and i will let the engineers know. and hope they can program the new features based on user's request. this sensor sure has more potential than the features they provided so far. @InteractiveDNA channel has also spoken about this because he is a pro on video technology.
@@alishanmao Interesting. Are they offering some sort of remuneration for the customers who help improve their half-baked unfinished product? I went through the same arduous back-and-forth process with them with the ZPro yet I still paid full retail price for it. Did I mention that it was then a half-baked unfinished product just as their current offering is? Heck, I just made improvement suggestions in my recent post above. Do I get points and credit for that? 😉
Thank you for going into such details with your reviews. I learned a lot from your videos. My question to you is, has your GPS issue under the tree been resolved by removing the tape? Looking forward to you testing the Firmware updates. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experiance.
I want to ask why the zino 2+ for the remote and the x hubsan 2 application for the record button and photos is not responsive sometimes even has to be pressed repeatedly before it can
Great videos. Your videos have been very helpful and I hope you can help me with my issue. I received my ZMP last month and have done a couple simple flights with it. The last few times I have tried, I can not get it off the ground. It shows ATTI on the transmitter and will no engage the props. I have updated to latest firmware on aircraft, transmitter and phone. The last time out, the transmitter showed 15 satellites and the phone and transmitter were in sync with information. I have sent emails to Hubsan with no response yet and from what I read in comments, they might not be so good on responding. From your videos along with others, I am looking forward to flying this ZMP. I hope you can help.
Hello Steven, I have no idea how to resolve this issue. To be honest, hubsan support is pretty hopeless. a lot of people suffering. I believe, I am at the verge of making an important decision to remove all Hubsan videos and do not support a company that does not support Customers. I have forwarded your message to Hubsan representative. you may provide me your email and i can forward it to them and insist to support you and resolve your issue. after that its all up to them. The route Hubsan has taken. its only going downward. there is no success for any company if they keep releasing faulty products and do not support their customers
i just spoken to rep again. she said contact service@hubsan.com with my reference. and if drone is faulty they will replace for free. a big bold claim that has been made tons of time before, but its worth a try
First I want to thank you for your quick response. I did here from Hubsan. They are on holiday until Feb 9th. Since it's cold and snowy here, I'm ok with waiting for a bit. Just anxious to getting some great flights like you've shown.
@@alishanmao Hello, I thought I would update you with my issue. I had started up my ZMP last week and it wanted me to update firmware on the transmitter and aircraft. I do so and was able to engage the props unlike before. I flew it inside for a quick little flight and today was finally able to fly it outside (finally got some weather to let me do it). As far as a response from Hubsan, they responded early on the 9th. I was happy to get their response quickly even if it looked like the problem had been resolved. I know you are concerned with the support they give customers, and I have to say at least they responded quickly. Most folks will complain quickly, so I thought I would give you a thumbs up on what I have seen so far. Thanks again for your quick response and your great videos..
Hey, thanks for an new good Video on some fixes for issues. I have also the GPS problem, but there is a QA sealing and we lost warranty if we open? But if second deliveries wihtout that tape delivered so it should be okay. Thanks for your good tests, fixes this will help a lot customers! Im locking forward for new good Videos from you 👍👍👍
yes tom, i mentioned in description that people should check about warranty before doing this. if you drone do not have GPS issue, just leave that tape on. More videos to come soon
Have not been able to grab enough satellites to fly yet, sits at 7. My zll max is getting 13 plus. Checked mine no tape. Has been cloudy with fog, couple of days it will let up and hopefully I can finally fly it.
Hi Ali, I've seen several videos of people getting really long range with the Zino Mini SE (but I don't think they've improved the GPS range with that tape you're talking about) and others where the GPS is lost after barely 500 meters... so there is a big problem. I also have the Mini SE, I specify. Where can the frequency be changed on the Hubsan? Can we go to 5.8 Ghz on these models or not? Thank you
frequencies can be changed in app but not sure what is available. i never tried it. besides i do not fly these long range. nowadays flying long range drones is getting more and more restricted around the globe.
Hi there. I have the same problem and sensor and compass error. It is very difficult for me to calibrate the compass and when I got it and made my first flight it gave me a gimball failure. I made it a return home and I have not been able to fly it anymore. In the control knob it shows me an error sensor and to calibrate the compass. Also on the screen it repeats a gimball error and several errors, especially calibrating the compass. If I disassemble the gimball and do the operation that shows, I lose warranty ?. I have contacted hubsan and he tells me that an engineer will contact me. Also on an indoor flight after this first flight the drone shot into a corner. He did not maintain the site. It has to do with the error of the compass ?. Great video thank you very much for him and I wait for his response to get to it to see if I solve the error.
Hi Buddy, Sorry to hear this. if Hubsan engineer is in contact with you, for sure they will fix your problem. do not worry and do not fly because compass error can drive drones crazy as they have no sense of direction. so wait for engineer reply. and if it does not fix issue, I am sure hubsan will send you a replacement. keep me updated on this one. also try to calibrate compass outdoors in an area where there is no magnetic interference. some times at home i also get compass error and drone ask me to calibrate and it flies ok after that at home. i hope your problem will be fixed soon. if not, hubsan should replace a new one.
Hy buddy ,so. Nice to explain to us,to solve this issues,and have the courage to do in your own zino,and show with complete details .cheers cavanha from Brazil
At this moment I don’t think the Hubsan Zino Mini deserves my hard earned money. I will take another look at it in 2 years when the Zino Mini Pro 2+ Super Max 2023 Edition is available.
every new drone, specially a brand new drone from a growing brand, obviously need time. I always advise people not to hurry and give new drone and company some time to finish all the bugs and refine the drone.
@@alishanmao Don’t get me wrong. The Zino shows a lot of promise and is getting better but it is not quite there. I think it should have been performing closer to specifications with not so many features not enabled or not working right. Consumers expect more for $600.
dude can you tell me which specific function they put that tape on?,,,, I have a problem with a zino mini drone I fall, after hitting the ceiling on an indor flight that I pressed BTH, and it tried to climb to the return altitude! it works everything except the GPS!, but it is always at zero!,,,, I believe it is because everything worked before, and it was no use doing this procedure, I saw a guy here in my region commented here that it worked!, so it must have been damaged GPS module cable or something. unfortunately there is no technician here in my region, south of Brazil. thanks for posting
Thank you very much buddy. yes it is a very good tools set. well i reviewed it a while ago, and someone told me that their kickstarter is not delivering in time or has been shut? no idea. but you can check this link. ua-cam.com/video/cUyj36MBtAw/v-deo.html
@alishanmao - would this 'fix for the gimbal also work with the Zino 1's (Standard) gimbal?And the GPS loss is because of the trees themselves; they are blocking part of the satellites' signals. Move well clear of the trees and that should correct that problem. I have another hobby, called Geocaching, which uses GPS receivers to find various items 'hidden' by other Geocachers and when under dense trees, the receiver will lose SOME, but not all of the accuracy provided by the satellites.
Hello. I continue with the problem of the witch. It tells me on the screen of the controller sensor failure and on the mobile error of the witch move the drone or caliber. It doesn't let me even calibrate it. Will it have to do with that tape that when removed improves the reception of gps?. Or it has nothing to do with it. If I really had to see that tape with the witch and gps I would remove the tape I would not expect a response from hubsan since they do not give me a solution in two weeks despite several videos sent.
My gimbal cracked...and hubsan replace it.. by sending new one for me to repair myself.. but surprisingly.. they send an official video of zino mini gimbal replacement.. which changing different type of gimbal.. zino pro camera put in zino mini maybe.. and using hubsan tool in phone to calibrate.. easily replaceable..
Hello @ahmad alimafia, please, let me know which camera is ..is the pro and wich hubsa tool is this.... I have my zino mni pro gimbal broken and i,m looking for a raseonable solution. Thank you in advance
@@JesúsPCamino its zino mini pro. They send replacement and i changed myself.. the tool can be download for android phone.. its for calibration after installation.
Dear @alishanmao , I have the usual problem of gimbal flex cable ( broken) in my Hubsan Zino Mini Pro. Do you know (or one of of the boys of the suscribers family) if is there a flex cable for Hubsan Zino Mini Pro available ? or the only one solution ( after faiiled your instructions to press the flex cable, almost sure because it is broken) is to get a full new gimbal? Please , are so kind to let me know about this. And congratulaition for so good UA-cam Channel!
Good video bro! People that own this drone can maybe fix it and enjoy it. Still i think hubsan should be more carefull before releas of a New drone. Hope it doesnt happen often becaus they did a real good job on this drone and its the first time they offer something that dji doesnt have. Go hubsan!
My Hubsan Zino Mini Pro has a problem: by trying calibrathing Gimbal comes text "Calibrating Failed" more time try but no every time "calibrating failed" what can I do ?????
This fix is for those who got a lemon by chance, and those who maybe flying for long time and start getting such error, due to cable coming lose over time. so it will help. imagine, sending your drone back for repair to dedicated centers and wait for a month and pay all expenses to repair, vs Hubsan drone that you can repair yourself in few minutes. I am sure people would love to do repairs easily rather than taking the other way.
Hey! I have a problem from first flight with the gimbal getting stuck in the middle position when turning from left to right (yaw axis). Even in the off state. Any ideas if this can be fixed?
Lateral movements are very risky on Hubsan drones and nothing has ever been solved on this side. The risk is the loss and crash of the drone when the tremors arrive. I lost my Mini SE this way.
My drone's gimbal is working but the video is shaking a lot! Should I try to fix this based on the is video? Once I down the camera and it was unable to return to horizon level until I land it.
do not do this if you have no gimbal error message. just before take off, keep the drone on a leveled surface and do gimbal calibration on the ground. then fly and test
@@alishanmao After a long try I figure out: my gimbal came defective, a kind "melted" so it cannot work properly :( I sent Hubsan an email with pictures to compare. Sad :(
I'm really surprised that Hubsan were OK with this being published without clear advice in the video of the consequences for people's warranties if they try DIY repairs
I’m far away from home at a rare photo shoot, and the device insisted I update the firmware. I did and now I can’t fly because it requests that I use the proper controller. It also reports “SN code information is abnormal”. Of course there doesn’t seem to be any real-time help from Hubsan. I suppose I’ll have to wait until their Monday until I het any response. Nothing on their help menu mentions this issue. I was just flying successfully an hour earlier.
@@cltech9041, I’m sorry. After a week and a half of back-and -forth emails, Hubsan sent me a link to an application that required a password to access. The app only worked on Android and allowed me to reinsert the SN code for the controller that mysteriously got washed away. So I’m working again. What process did you go through to get yours working?
I wouldn't advise any owner to open up their brand new drone to try and make a repair⚠️😯🤔 This is bad advise, it could potentially void any warranty the consumer has with their drone! Best advise would be to return the drone for replacement or repair. Just my opinion.👍😎
i am a fan of your channel.I'm from Austria my english is not good. My problem: I've had the Hubsan Mini Pro for 1week.Nothing is displayed of the controller display,alt hough it is charged.Connection to the smartphone,the message on the Hubsan App:Cannot connect controller to App.Also tried a new USB cable.The display remains dark.What an I doing wrong ?befor I send the controller back to China,please for help and greatings from Austria
Hello Buddy, Sorry to hear that. Can you make a video and post on youtube. i will see the video and ask engineer to give us a solution. hope i can help you out buddy. stay safe
I get a different Gimbal Error - .00004 Gimble Under Cover voice message. The message repeats again and again until I shut down the copter. Do you have a solution?
Hi, what could be the possible reason I have frequent "USB Disconnected" error? Also, my Zino Mini Pro ascends and descends automatically without touching any of the controls.
faulty unit as usual that hubsan ships to many. contact support and i can only say good luck getting any support. thats the reason i am thinking to stopping my support for hubsan as well
dont know if this has been answered. If you have any issues with the gimbal within 1 YEAR of purchase you should be able to send the drone to HUBSAN with evidence of the issue and proof of purchase. According to their warranty declaration if you open the drone and try and fix the issue then your warranty is VOID. FYI
What a fantastic tutorial! It is sure to be very useful for those who have the same problems. The only question that arises is whether the metal plate that caused the GPS connection problems will not have another unknown function that may affect the operation of the drone. I hope is not like that. Thanks for sharing and best regards!!! 👋
Has anyone had a barometer error? Mine says that on the screen and sensor error on the controller and it yells maximum alt. Reached. It will not take off. It hasn't been bumped or anything, just setting on the shelf for a few months unused in the factory padded case
I have another Hubsan Zino Mini Pro gimbal issue. The error message "Gimbal is under protection, please check if the gimbal is stuck". I have contacted service center back and forward through email more than 23 times, but the issue cannot be fixed. I repeated to remove the cables between the gimbal and mainboard again and again for more then 5 times, even I followed the instruction which they sent me the video. It doesn't fix the gimbal issue. Firmware has been updated and all the feature and function are working probably except the gimbal issue. I don't know who long I have to wait for the solution of this issue can be fixed. Just want to share the issue I am facing and hope that the Service center needs to make more effort to fix the customer issue.
@@alishanmao Through the email and service support provided me a bad service. So far, I asked for shipping it back to fix or a replacement, they don't still have this further step about this. Just sent me the video and instruction file how to take out the gimbal cover and checking cables connection. 2 months past, but the issue doesn't fix yet. I don't know what they are thinking. DJI and Autel do not like this way for the customer support.
In your own words "All Hubsan makes is crap" I think you are confusing "All Hubsan makes" with the Zino line, and in that case I would agree whole heartedly. They have made some truly great products in the past and hopefully will continue to do so in the future. Continuing the Zino line as well as your involvement was an oversight on Hubsans part.
Past was past, hubsan drone quality and performance did change my mind and I am showing people the truth what hubsan drones can do. but again those scums for sure will use my past to try to prove that I am wrong. sad to see this his happening but they are digging their own hole. do not believe what they are posting against me
Great job brother!! Keep it up.. Erwin from Windsor Ontario Canada.. Right across from Detroit.. I've been watching you since your rc cars and heli videos even when you were using the flight sims to learn 3d manouvers... Forget about the haters! Just keep doing what you do and keep looking forward & keep stepping forward!! God Bless Brother!
Great video but if I'm paying $500+ dollars for a drone there should be no issues whatsoever. Is there a way to tell if you got a first batch drone vs a later one?
I need to check this buddy.
No issues whatsoever. Are you from Earth?
@@albertatlinguasoft No, I'm from the planet Zebulon which orbits around Sirius. :)
There will never be a drone without issues; even Dji and the rest of the socalle best do have probkems!
Alishanmao, I decided to buy Hubsan Zino Mini because of your videos. You give us a lucid view of the drone technologies, pros, cons and fixes. Congratulations for your spectacular work!
Hi Luiz, Thank you so much and If you have any questions, and guidance, Please never hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to see you enjoy the ZMP :)
Why would you suggest someone fix their own brand new drone ? Shouldn't Hubsan fix it for free or replace it ? 🤔
Honestly, I've helped many people make repairs,.....to fpv drones. Not brand new $650 gps drones that are still under warranty.. The Best advice you could give them is tell them to return it for a factory repair or replacement instead of advising them to do something that could void the warranty. Then maybe hubsan would be more diligent in producing a product that doesn't require customer repairs right out of the box. Just my opinion.
And another thing you might not be considering.....if someone actually breaks something attempting the repair you are demonstrating ( like breaking that cable when you pull that silver tape off ) then hubsan definitely won't warranty it. Then the customer is on the hook for the cost of the repair , when all along they could have just returned it. And they will probably be upset with you for not just giving them the best advice by suggesting they simply return it. Seems like a no brainer to me.
@@RCinginSC i respect your opinion my friend. you are always welcome to share your opinions.
@@RCinginSC I will sure drop a line to feedback this to hubsan representative because before making this video i also thought of it and that is why I have put it in video description clearly to check warranties before doing this.
@@alishanmao absolutely
Are you a technician of Hubsan? Ah, you are brave your video.
no, I am just a youtuber. i do not work for anyone.
Nice to welcome you from Poland. I bought a kit with 4 batteries myself today. If you have any contact with the manufacturer, give them any remarks on how to improve the software. Ie how the drone behaves in tracking (the shadow causes no tracking, and that they work on the camera in Auto mode)
Thanks for the tips! sure i will feedback to them. thank you
@@alishanmao tell me if the zoom works in the last update of the drone ??
I'm glad your feedback is rapidly improving Zino mini pro back keep it up! And thank you!
Thanks buddy, and i will keep doing
If I buy a drone of this price point and it has issues out of the box, I promise, It will be getting shipped back. Who would try and fix it themselves? Not very good advice.
GPS lock has always been good for me. It's nice to know that the gimbal is so easily replaceable. Thank you Monsoor!
yes sir, only 4 screws and two cables to pull. I will check the safe method to remove and install the wider silver cable with engineer and post another video. its a great feature because if you break camera or gimbal due to a crash, you can replace it and who knows if Hubsan releases plug and play a night vision Thermal cam gimbal that can be replaced you know. good possibilities here.
@@alishanmao Hi guys, I have been unable to find any updates regarding the release of the thermal variant that hubsan was planning to release at one point. If the gimbal is interchangeable as you say, would it be possible to swap out one gimbal for another thermal gimbal for a non-thermal drone or vice versa? And Mr Alishanmo are you planning to review the thermal hubsan drone when or if it releases?
Why would anyone spend $600 on a drone and have to do self repairs ?
Question - if that plastic strip is really not needed and causing trouble, why didn’t the tech engineers at Hubsen know this ?
Another question- if we did our own repairs wouldn’t that void any warranty or doesn’t this drone have a warranty?
Another question - if this is a known issue , shouldn’t Hubsen ask us to return the drone for a new one ?
I have to be honest and say that why would anyone purchase a drone that they have to repair themselves ot worst yet purchase a drone with a j own defect and the company wanting us to fix it ?
I think your an honorable man and even you have to admit this is the strangest thing we have all seen when it comes to a new drone launch
First thing you need to realize that not everyone is having this issue. only one guy who reported this to me and i made a video to help him out and if anyone in future have this issue will sure be able to fix his drone easily.
Now tell me, would you rather send your drone to a dedicated repair center by paying money and pay for repairs and wait for drone to come back, or would you rather open 4 screws and secure a cable and resolve your issue?
Hubsan has an amazing product and they are constantly improving it after feedback, which is also the same case with other drone makers. do not forget DJI mini made people cry for over a year, it took dji a year to fix issues in their first Mini. same here, I am sure hubsan will fix all bugs quicker and we have a winner drone here.
Hey man, thank you one more time for your videos regarding the Zino Mini Pro, you seem to be well connected to Hubsan's tech team.
Unfortunately, here in Germany, far away from Shenzhen, the support doesn't work that well with Hubsan, if you have a question. Sometimes they seem not to understand the issues, sometimes they are simply not answering on a request. For example: My drone came unsealed, and the spare propeller blades are missing. I requested to have them sent to me, and asked for an explanation why my box wasn't sealed like others, as I saw it in some unboxing videos, also, why I had to find a receipt for the drone that stated a price of 80 bucks (to be precise: $, not stating, which $ have been meant).
So I figure that my drone has been pre-owned by another person before they have sent it to me. Hubsan asked me for the SN, then no reaction anymore from their side, on the propeller issue they requested an unboxing video (fortunately I've made one) where they saw a possible"bulge" at the lid of the soft case, that came out as some plastic wrap behind a well hidden zipper, my question where I could at least buy myself some spare propellers has been left unanswered, as well as my question on what this one year of free Hubsan Care is good for and how to use it in case it covers any damage or so...
As you can see: You are in a lucky situation. To me it is more a bittersweet experience: As an early adopter I've paid for the drone in early May, waited patiently for 3 months, got a obviously pre-owned drone with an unresolved gimbal issue (horizon alignment doesn't work, it always looks as if the drone tips to the side, you can calibrate the gimbal as often as you want - stays the same), the support and the care program seems to be worth zero, I wonder where I could even buy spare parts in case I need it once..., but hey..., they've sent me some white Hubsan coat lately..., that fits a child.
I don't want to talk about the quality of the camera yet, since this potential is still not completely developed. But, the photos that I see so far from this 48MP cam is so much worse than expected, that I simply want to mention it.
My conclusion is that I cannot recommend this drone, not because it is not functioning, but because of the support behind the product. I mean it is nice to feel safe with the obstacle avoidance and so, even though the alarm is way too loud, and comparable to a backing garbage truck. My experience tells me: a product is always only as good, as the support behind is.
I figure, soon dji will release a new drone that will have obstacle avoidance not only to the front as well. So I would give Hubsan some chance to fix their issues until then. If they fail, then it would have been an excursion for me, returning to a safe haven, called dji.
Thank you one more time for your videos. It's always a pleasure watching them. 👍🏼
There is the lenghty train of unresponsivness behind Hubsan support. But at least they are trying to change that [or simulate that :) ] ua-cam.com/video/On-OcPFeR0o/v-deo.html.
Anyway anyone who buy goods from far should be ready:
- to be unlucky looser;
- to apply oneself hands to fix problems.
Thank you so much for your detailed, reply. I feel sad for your experience, and I will mention this to hubsan rep. and hope they can pick up the pace to support you soon. did you email to order@hubsan.com and you got a reply? I will let the Rep see this comment for sure.
@@alishanmao Hi, sure, I wrote to them. Many times already, and it was quite difficult because some of their answers didn't really made clear what they wanted from me, so I had to assume sometimes the expected. For example, I wrote to them that there were no spare propellers, and that the drone box came unsealed; their answer was: "Hello there, please provide the video about the drones to me. And please find if it in the other where,"
???
I asked if they expect an unboxing video, the answer was: "Yes, you'd better provide the video for the first time you received it, and then I can provide to my colleague to check it." ...Good to know that most Chineese people are very friendly and pleasing, else I would have thought it was a threat. 🤣🤣🤣
Fortunately, I've made a video, not professionally like a techie yt influencer, but fair enough to show the original unpacking from scratch, because it was a huge file, I've uploaded it for them, and sent the link. After six days where nothing happened, I again wrote to them, and again they asked for an unboxing video. And the drone's QR code. :-)
Another 5 days later they sent me a white paper-thin coat with a Hubsan logo on it, the size fits my 15 year old son. :o) Thank you, Hubsan, I wanted propellers, but got a coat. No information at all why it was sent to me... And after I sent them a thank you for the coat, another email came, telling me, that there WERE propellers, and I should check one more time. And a photo with blades in the lid, where I then have found the plastic wrap.
So, no spare propellers for me. I would buy some, if they were available.
And the fact, that the box came unsealed hasn't been explained at all, so I must believe that I got a used drone (there were even flight records on the drone, but I erased them since I thought it might have been a test), that it's been pre-sold to someone who gave it back (that maybe explains the malfunction of the gimbal), and the longer I have it with these unresolved issues, the more I think about switching to dji in the future. I simply feel lost with Hubsan after all this hassle. Sorry...
@@BrandenburgTV well i got two of those coats too hahahaha. maybe the one you got the propellers were in the pockets? did you check :) I hope hubsan rep will see these comments and pick up the support in good manners for you buddy. I will let them read these comments for sure.
@@alishanmao See, Ali, THAT idea is a good one! :-D Will check the pockets of the coat, maybe there are 120,000 propeller blades in the pockets, and I haven't checked it yet! ;-)
Alishanmao very good job 💪wiith Zino Mini Pro 👍🏻👍🏻
great video thank you. I ordered the Zino mini pro and will receive it tomorrow. How will I know if it's a first or second batch? I suppose I'll be doing a lot of updates to it first off. This is my first drone.
Oh, well good luck. hope you do not get at the dark side of Hubsan because you will join an ever growing list of hubsan victims turn enemies then
Very good video my friend.....I completely stripped down a BEAST S906 Pro. As you say...VERY easy.....I did however take photos of the stages as I removed layer after layer....THANK GOODNESS i did. Good troubleshooting..good fix.
well I can strip down anything and put it back together, but after its lighter because there are many screws left out side LOL
Excellent video, we also have this drone on our channel, I had no problem on the first flight, but the drone is warming up a lot and many Brazilians have had problems with falling
Thanks for the info. if you have any issue, you can make video and i can try to help you buddy
I assume that opening the drone would invalidate any warranty?
Great video yet again Ali. I am watching your experiences with the Hubsan with great interest. Owning a Mini2 and an Air 2S I can't justify the purchase of another sub 250g drone at the moment but am very interested in the features added and to be added to the Zino Mini Pro.
1) Hubsan including notification of upcoming features in the firmware updates is to be applauded. This is in stark contrast to DJI who don't even tell users in any detail what changes are in their updates and leave it to them to work it out for themselves, adding and taking away features without warning.
2) The circle option, relying on using the drone GPS location as the centre of the circle when set rather than object tracking, is a good one. DJI usually lose the object within a quarter of a circle. It would be great to have both options and I assume that when tracking and creative shots the Hubsan will have both.
3) Waypoints. The map drawing option is excellent and exactly how waypoint mission planning should be. DJI restrict waypoints to timelapse only on the Air2S and three are none on the Mini2. Huge win for Hubsan.
4) Take note DJI! If your next Mini doesn't have front and rear sensors and these features, shame on you. :-)
Ali, one more test request. When RTH, do you have control of yaw, pitch and gimbal in the same way that we do on the Mini 2?
Keep up the great work
Yes Mike, I have mentioned that in the video description that before doing this people should check with their seller about warranty. but again, there is one thing that i like about hubsan drones specially this ZMP, that if you crash and break camera or gimbal, its an easy replacement, by the user himself. unlike dji, you have to send the drone back for repairs, extra expenses, pay repairs and wait all the time until drone returns. so its a good point here that people can replace such modules themselves. Maybe hubsan should not void warranty if someone replaces or fixes gimbal.
yes I agree with point 1.
point 2 once the object tracking is active again, i think that will be best option to circle. rather than using POI feature.
point 3. and then there is more that you can edit each waypoint for its altitude attributes
point 4. let us see what comes with Mini 3 :D
test request noted and will do on next flight buddy.
thank you for your support
@aIishanmao Oh dear, did you forget to update the profile image after Ali changed his? Oh well, not to worry eh? Reported for impersonation. Bye bye.
@aIishanmao If you are so sure of your truth you'd be using your own name, pal. Oh, and posting videos of your own. Of course, you'd need a drone for that and I rather suspect you don't. Oh well.
Ali's videos are straightforward evidence based. When something isn't great, he says so. When something is, he says so. He does a great job.
Thank you. You are not only good, but funny as well!!!!!
I appreciate that!
Alishnmao is the flyer of the year 2021; yeah!
Thank you So much. Appreciate it buddy. 👍🌹
You paint a more optimistic view of ZMP than most reviewers I've seen. I think Hubsan Zino needs to pay you for serving them so well. Your videos which are based on your own real live hands on experience, is going to turn lots of pessimists into optimists and for that, you will be rewarded; thank you!
thank you because i am going to receive my New Hubsan this week and this lesson tha you give us is goin to help me in Argentina to anticipate problems and I am ready to open the box and the device and be sure that everything is under control before fly.
if everything is good after open boxing, do not open the drone or do anything. just do compass and vision position system calibration and fly it, enjoy it. :)
I experienced GPS disconnection issues as well.
I contacted Hubsan for a confirmation.
No reaction so far, but I am not going to get them away with that. The fix is hardware fix. I don't want to do it w/o formal confirmation.
You know there is a concept in manufacturing called "RECALL" especially in a car industry. I don't expect from Hubsan to make "recall" but at least to publish officially the fix it would be fair and decent.
You surely have some influence on Hubsan, can you ask, please, them to behave like respectful manufacture ?
And thank you for your video.
I hope hubsan can pay more attention to customer support. their drones are getting better and better but customer support is extremely important too. i have told hubsan so many times about it and i keep on telling them that success is in Customer support
What a beautiful video specially for the photos on your PC, Italian Dolomites: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and Monte Paterno, the Gardena Valley, the Sella Group and the Sassolungo Group!!!
good observation. yes those are beautiful areas that i dream to be at if time allows and life takes me there.
Excellent Vid and this helped me so much on the "weak GPS signal". Also just wanted to let you know that I have a 200 GB SD card and it works! there website appears to show that you can only use up to 128GB.
good to know that
alishanmao
Gracias, Mi hubsan zino mini pro no me daba imagen desde el principio, (despegándolo claro), hace unos días, y me tenía mareado probando otros móviles y luego me falló el gimbal y hoy gracias a tí y a sabiendas que perdería el Care Refresh arreglado, gracias amigo.
alishanmao Thank you, My hubsan zino mini pro did not give me an image from the beginning, (taking it off of course), a few days ago, and I was dizzy trying other mobiles and then my gimbal failed and today thanks to you and knowing that I would lose the Care Refresh fixed, thanks friend.
always welcome my friend
thanks Ali great video I'd to see when you are gonna change the camera on the mini SE
Brave man Ali taking the drone to bits love the screwdriver set.
I am willing to do more if this can help people out there.
Thanks for the tips, is there any way to know if drone has the silver tape that reduces GPS signal just based on S/N? I don't want to open just to see if it's there (screws on plastic don't like to be removed and inserted multiple times), but If it makes some improvement to GPS reception and I know it's there, I would do it..
actually you can see it without opening the gimbal if there is a tape or not. because behind the gimbal there is no cover.
I really like the way Hubsan have made the camera and gimbal so easy to remove. The connector on the (ribbon?) cable looks like the sort they use in iPhones, that presses into place, rather than the simpler locking type ribbon connector. I guess I'll take the gimbal screws out when I get mine to see if it's a "first batch", with the tape that reduces GPS.
very well said. Most of the people break camera or gimbal upon small crashes. and then end up sending drones back to manufacturer for repair. this however, they can replace a gimbal and camera easily. its like a modular thing. hope later hubsan can release better cameras, or Thermal cameras too
Hi Mr Teacher. I have a question? HELP ME PLEASE. what should i do when everything is up to date and calibrated and i'm going to start a flight tells me a message "Gimbal under protection, please check if it's stuck" Of course I removed his protection. But first I forgot to remove and triggered the drone. I immediately noticed and removed the protection. Now see and always listen to the message above. From São Paulo, Brazil. Waiting for your comments.
always remove protection cover first then put drone on a flat surface. make sure no stone or grass is touching the gimbal. now turn on the drone, and let it initialize. do gimbal calibration, restart the drone and try it.
Hi,
Firstly thank you for all the zino mini pro tests you have been doing, as far as I can see on you tube, you are by far the best reviewer I've seen and I've watched every one you have done on this drone.
I wonder if you can advise me on 2 things... firstly since last night the gimbal started twitching all over the place, even in film mode. I've done the calibration but its still doing the same? Secondly, when i Zoom in and take a picture or zoom in on video, you can see it zoom in on screen, but the video's/pictures I download from the drone have not attempted to zoom in at all!?
Hi buddy. it is possible that you got a defective one. can you upload and feedback your flight logs to hubsan? and email to order@hubsan.com
@@alishanmaoThanks, I have emailed them with a like to some footage I have on youtube demonstrating the issue. I also attached the log files... oddly theres 4 GimbalDataLog files... all of which are 0k!!??
@@alishanmao Hi Ali - Unfortunately like so many others with issues we find there is just no response whatsoever, having read there official forum I can see lots of people with underlying issues never get a response. Check out ua-cam.com/video/WSqc9kploRA/v-deo.html
watch from about 3 mins in! I have a few issues but this one just makes it not worth even using :(
gostei, geralmente aqui na minha cidade no Brasil , ele pega 12 GPS. vou abri-lo para tirar essa fita , já o GImbal não tive problema . ótimo video
yes its strange, it needs 12 satellites to fly.
Hi, I thought your video was really good and your sense of humor was even better. Congratulations. On my Hubsan Ace Pro the message error gimbal 4000 appears, do you think it is also a problem with the cable?
Hug
I do not know buddy. thank you for your support to my work. hubsan has screwed so many users and my followers who bought after watching my videos. i have stopped supporting this trash company long time ago
Hey there- great video.
Do you know if this procedure is the same with exo blackhawk 2 pro? Mine out of the box has the error.
Thank you.
Not sure
@@alishanmao they say the blackhawk is the same as Hobson ace pro. My guess is that these are the same in some regards. Is there a way you might be able to find this out thru your tech guy?
Thanks
Thanks Alishanmao, I did this operation (as also suggested by hubsan support) but after two flights again the gimbal gave error, plus I continuously have disconnections between remote and drone, and remote and iphone.
I'm waiting for a response from customer support but mine is definitely defective.
Thanks for sharing. you can possibly put some glue on the cables and they will stick there. they might coming loose. but yes for other issues, do contact customer support and they will replace your drone with a new one, once they find its faulty.
Thankyou for another informative video. Yesterday I was showing 13 satellites and weak GPS signal. My unit did indeed have this tape. I put my meter on it and under the plastic coating it measured 4 Ohms resistance end to end. So a shield. Not such a good idea perhaps if the GPS module is behind. Although if it is receiving that many satellites it may been down to noise from local power lines.
Thanks for sharing
Can you give a link to that tool kit you used on the gimble repair?

Dear sir, you do Avery good job! I have learn a lot of things! I got a issue that my gps not working any more! I can see the Grey tape behind the gimbal so opfully that's the problem!? I'll check that and remove it and it's gonna fix this gps prob. Also that might solve another prob witch is that the app always ask to proceed the compass process?! I'have done the obstacle calibration with success... However, I might be able to return a bad drone?! I'LL SEE!
Have a very nice evening. Ta again for helping! All the best.

hi there, best to return it, contact service@hubsan.com
You said you have a direct communication with Hubsan, can you please tell if they plan to improve the camera controls for this drone, I see this 1/1.3" sensor is more capable than we had seen until now and think they can improve with software updates.
yes they are busy improving and working very hard on this. if you have any new ideas and feedback. you can tell me and i will let the engineers know. and hope they can program the new features based on user's request. this sensor sure has more potential than the features they provided so far. @InteractiveDNA channel has also spoken about this because he is a pro on video technology.
@@alishanmao Interesting. Are they offering some sort of remuneration for the customers who help improve their half-baked unfinished product? I went through the same arduous back-and-forth process with them with the ZPro yet I still paid full retail price for it. Did I mention that it was then a half-baked unfinished product just as their current offering is? Heck, I just made improvement suggestions in my recent post above. Do I get points and credit for that? 😉
Watch out for some silicone adhesives because they have corrosives to aluminum.
Salam akhi form germany🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
wassalam brother :)
Thank you for going into such details with your reviews. I learned a lot from your videos. My question to you is, has your GPS issue under the tree been resolved by removing the tape?
Looking forward to you testing the Firmware updates. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experiance.
no still that very same area all hubsan drones have issues

Great videos. Your videos have been very helpful and I hope you can help me with my issue. I received my ZMP last month and have done a couple simple flights with it. The last few times I have tried, I can not get it off the ground. It shows ATTI on the transmitter and will no engage the props. I have updated to latest firmware on aircraft, transmitter and phone. The last time out, the transmitter showed 15 satellites and the phone and transmitter were in sync with information. I have sent emails to Hubsan with no response yet and from what I read in comments, they might not be so good on responding. From your videos along with others, I am looking forward to flying this ZMP. I hope you can help.
Hello Steven, I have no idea how to resolve this issue. To be honest, hubsan support is pretty hopeless. a lot of people suffering. I believe, I am at the verge of making an important decision to remove all Hubsan videos and do not support a company that does not support Customers.
I have forwarded your message to Hubsan representative. you may provide me your email and i can forward it to them and insist to support you and resolve your issue. after that its all up to them.
The route Hubsan has taken. its only going downward. there is no success for any company if they keep releasing faulty products and do not support their customers
i just spoken to rep again. she said contact service@hubsan.com with my reference. and if drone is faulty they will replace for free. a big bold claim that has been made tons of time before, but its worth a try
First I want to thank you for your quick response. I did here from Hubsan. They are on holiday until Feb 9th. Since it's cold and snowy here, I'm ok with waiting for a bit. Just anxious to getting some great flights like you've shown.
@@alishanmao Hello, I thought I would update you with my issue. I had started up my ZMP last week and it wanted me to update firmware on the transmitter and aircraft. I do so and was able to engage the props unlike before. I flew it inside for a quick little flight and today was finally able to fly it outside (finally got some weather to let me do it).
As far as a response from Hubsan, they responded early on the 9th. I was happy to get their response quickly even if it looked like the problem had been resolved. I know you are concerned with the support they give customers, and I have to say at least they responded quickly. Most folks will complain quickly, so I thought I would give you a thumbs up on what I have seen so far.
Thanks again for your quick response and your great videos..
Pls let me know which Tool you are using and where to order. Thanks in advance jan

Hey, thanks for an new good Video on some fixes for issues.
I have also the GPS problem, but there is a QA sealing and we lost warranty if we open? But if second deliveries wihtout that tape delivered so it should be okay.
Thanks for your good tests, fixes this will help a lot customers! Im locking forward for new good Videos from you 👍👍👍
yes tom, i mentioned in description that people should check about warranty before doing this. if you drone do not have GPS issue, just leave that tape on.
More videos to come soon
There is warranty seal on the one of the screw. WARRANTY VOID IF SEAL BROKEN. What's with the warranty ?
as mentioned in video description, you should check with seller before doing this
Hey Mansur ! Just ordered a Hubsan Zino 2 plus from Amazon. ! Can’t wait!
Oh, that is a good drone. its pretty mature at the moment. fly it without worries but do read manual and do all calibrations. have fun buddy
@@alishanmao thanks brother
Have not been able to grab enough satellites to fly yet, sits at 7. My zll max is getting 13 plus. Checked mine no tape. Has been cloudy with fog, couple of days it will let up and hopefully I can finally fly it.
The thing is getting better anyway. Thanks for the videos.
No problem 👍
@aIishanmao it's late now. I've bought it.
Hi Ali, I've seen several videos of people getting really long range with the Zino Mini SE (but I don't think they've improved the GPS range with that tape you're talking about) and others where the GPS is lost after barely 500 meters... so there is a big problem. I also have the Mini SE, I specify.
Where can the frequency be changed on the Hubsan? Can we go to 5.8 Ghz on these models or not? Thank you
frequencies can be changed in app but not sure what is available. i never tried it. besides i do not fly these long range. nowadays flying long range drones is getting more and more restricted around the globe.
Hi there. I have the same problem and sensor and compass error. It is very difficult for me to calibrate the compass and when I got it and made my first flight it gave me a gimball failure. I made it a return home and I have not been able to fly it anymore. In the control knob it shows me an error sensor and to calibrate the compass. Also on the screen it repeats a gimball error and several errors, especially calibrating the compass. If I disassemble the gimball and do the operation that shows, I lose warranty ?. I have contacted hubsan and he tells me that an engineer will contact me. Also on an indoor flight after this first flight the drone shot into a corner. He did not maintain the site. It has to do with the error of the compass ?. Great video thank you very much for him and I wait for his response to get to it to see if I solve the error.
Hi Buddy, Sorry to hear this. if Hubsan engineer is in contact with you, for sure they will fix your problem. do not worry and do not fly because compass error can drive drones crazy as they have no sense of direction. so wait for engineer reply. and if it does not fix issue, I am sure hubsan will send you a replacement. keep me updated on this one.
also try to calibrate compass outdoors in an area where there is no magnetic interference. some times at home i also get compass error and drone ask me to calibrate and it flies ok after that at home. i hope your problem will be fixed soon. if not, hubsan should replace a new one.
@@alishanmao ok thank you I will have you informed of the engineer's answer.., I hope you answer soon. Best regards
Thanks man it helped me a lot
No problem 👍
you are amazing and much more brave than i another great vid
Thank you so much!
Hy buddy ,so. Nice to explain to us,to solve this issues,and have the courage to do in your own zino,and show with complete details .cheers cavanha from Brazil
So nice of you. I do not mind opening and doing more fixes of ZMP if this helps many other out there.
hi alishanmao mine says gimbal under protection all the time any clues how to fix it? the lady keeps repeating it
no idea buddy, only hubsan support can help if you get lucky. check rcgroups forums
Thank you for the nice informative demonstration. Happy Flying
Thanks for watching!
At this moment I don’t think the Hubsan Zino Mini deserves my hard earned money. I will take another look at it in 2 years when the Zino Mini Pro 2+ Super Max 2023 Edition is available.
every new drone, specially a brand new drone from a growing brand, obviously need time. I always advise people not to hurry and give new drone and company some time to finish all the bugs and refine the drone.
@@alishanmao Don’t get me wrong. The Zino shows a lot of promise and is getting better but it is not quite there. I think it should have been performing closer to specifications with not so many features not enabled or not working right. Consumers expect more for $600.
You should not need too repair your New drone 😣👊🏻👍🏻
Can you advise me how to replace camera?
dude can you tell me which specific function they put that tape on?,,,, I have a problem with a zino mini drone I fall, after hitting the ceiling on an indor flight that I pressed BTH, and it tried to climb to the return altitude! it works everything except the GPS!, but it is always at zero!,,,, I believe it is because everything worked before, and it was no use doing this procedure, I saw a guy here in my region commented here that it worked!, so it must have been damaged GPS module cable or something. unfortunately there is no technician here in my region, south of Brazil. thanks for posting
i have no idea how to fix your issue buddy. this tape is only for GPS lost fix. try it and see if it helps
I would like to see how the drone is hovering indoors without GPS signal. Mine is not stable and seems sometimes uncontrollable indoors.
Thanks for the video, I like the look of your screw driver set, could you send me a link if possible many thanks. John
Thank you very much buddy. yes it is a very good tools set. well i reviewed it a while ago, and someone told me that their kickstarter is not delivering in time or has been shut? no idea. but you can check this link.

@alishanmao - would this 'fix for the gimbal also work with the Zino 1's (Standard) gimbal?And the GPS loss is because of the trees themselves; they are blocking part of the satellites' signals. Move well clear of the trees and that should correct that problem.
I have another hobby, called Geocaching, which uses GPS receivers to find various items 'hidden' by other Geocachers and when under dense trees, the receiver will lose SOME, but not all of the accuracy provided by the satellites.
Hello. I continue with the problem of the witch. It tells me on the screen of the controller sensor failure and on the mobile error of the witch move the drone or caliber. It doesn't let me even calibrate it. Will it have to do with that tape that when removed improves the reception of gps?. Or it has nothing to do with it. If I really had to see that tape with the witch and gps I would remove the tape I would not expect a response from hubsan since they do not give me a solution in two weeks despite several videos sent.
nothing to do with the tape. Please contact your seller or order@hubsan.com and return the or get replacement. Thank you
My gimbal cracked...and hubsan replace it.. by sending new one for me to repair myself.. but surprisingly.. they send an official video of zino mini gimbal replacement.. which changing different type of gimbal.. zino pro camera put in zino mini maybe.. and using hubsan tool in phone to calibrate.. easily replaceable..
awesome. do link the video here as well
@@alishanmao not sure i allowed to upload the official video.. i can send or share personally if u want.😅
Hello @ahmad alimafia, please, let me know which camera is ..is the pro and wich hubsa tool is this.... I have my zino mni pro gimbal broken and i,m looking for a raseonable solution. Thank you in advance
@@JesúsPCamino its zino mini pro. They send replacement and i changed myself.. the tool can be download for android phone.. its for calibration after installation.
@@ahmadalinafia309 thank you
Dear @alishanmao , I have the usual problem of gimbal flex cable ( broken) in my Hubsan Zino Mini Pro. Do you know (or one of of the boys of the suscribers family) if is there a flex cable for Hubsan Zino Mini Pro available ? or the only one solution ( after faiiled your instructions to press the flex cable, almost sure because it is broken) is to get a full new gimbal? Please , are so kind to let me know about this. And congratulaition for so good UA-cam Channel!
no, you must contact hubsan support
Good video bro! People that own this drone can maybe fix it and enjoy it. Still i think hubsan should be more carefull before releas of a New drone. Hope it doesnt happen often becaus they did a real good job on this drone and its the first time they offer something that dji doesnt have. Go hubsan!
Very true!
My Hubsan Zino Mini Pro has a problem: by trying calibrathing Gimbal comes text "Calibrating Failed" more time try but no every time "calibrating failed" what can I do ?????
Thanks a lot.
Most welcome!
Excellent ! Well done !
Sorry but this is ridiculous that you have to fix your own new drone, why can't Hudson replace faulty drones like any other drone company.
This fix is for those who got a lemon by chance, and those who maybe flying for long time and start getting such error, due to cable coming lose over time. so it will help. imagine, sending your drone back for repair to dedicated centers and wait for a month and pay all expenses to repair, vs Hubsan drone that you can repair yourself in few minutes. I am sure people would love to do repairs easily rather than taking the other way.
Hey! I have a problem from first flight with the gimbal getting stuck in the middle position when turning from left to right (yaw axis). Even in the off state. Any ideas if this can be fixed?
only hubsan can help buddy. i have no idea what is going on. you may want to contact hubsan before opening it up
Lateral movements are very risky on Hubsan drones and nothing has ever been solved on this side. The risk is the loss and crash of the drone when the tremors arrive.
I lost my Mini SE this way.
My drone's gimbal is working but the video is shaking a lot! Should I try to fix this based on the is video? Once I down the camera and it was unable to return to horizon level until I land it.
do not do this if you have no gimbal error message. just before take off, keep the drone on a leveled surface and do gimbal calibration on the ground. then fly and test
@@alishanmao After a long try I figure out: my gimbal came defective, a kind "melted" so it cannot work properly :( I sent Hubsan an email with pictures to compare. Sad :(
muy buen video puede reparar mi dron sin ningún problema. muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Thank you So much. Appreciate it buddy. 👍🌹
I'm really surprised that Hubsan were OK with this being published without clear advice in the video of the consequences for people's warranties if they try DIY repairs
you missed the video description maybe where there is a clear advise. maybe you were in a hurry to comment.
Great video my friend
Thank you 👍
I’m far away from home at a rare photo shoot, and the device insisted I update the firmware. I did and now I can’t fly because it requests that I use the proper controller. It also reports “SN code information is abnormal”. Of course there doesn’t seem to be any real-time help from Hubsan. I suppose I’ll have to wait until their Monday until I het any response. Nothing on their help menu mentions this issue. I was just flying successfully an hour earlier.
Ah happens to many
did ou fix it. I had the same issue and fixed it
@@cltech9041, I’m sorry. After a week and a half of back-and -forth emails, Hubsan sent me a link to an application that required a password to access. The app only worked on Android and allowed me to reinsert the SN code for the controller that mysteriously got washed away. So I’m working again. What process did you go through to get yours working?
A just loved your tools set.
its a very useful one. I have a review of this on my channel
ua-cam.com/video/cUyj36MBtAw/v-deo.html
I wouldn't advise any owner to open up their brand new drone to try and make a repair⚠️😯🤔
This is bad advise, it could potentially void any warranty the consumer has with their drone!
Best advise would be to return the drone for replacement or repair.
Just my opinion.👍😎
awesome info, thanks for this!
Glad it was helpful!
i am a fan of your channel.I'm from Austria my english is not good.
My problem: I've had the Hubsan Mini Pro for 1week.Nothing is displayed of the controller display,alt hough it is charged.Connection to the smartphone,the message on the Hubsan App:Cannot connect controller to App.Also tried a new USB cable.The display remains dark.What an I doing wrong ?befor I send the controller back to China,please for help and greatings from Austria
Hello Buddy, Sorry to hear that. Can you make a video and post on youtube. i will see the video and ask engineer to give us a solution. hope i can help you out buddy. stay safe
I get a different Gimbal Error - .00004 Gimble Under Cover voice message. The message repeats again and again until I shut down the copter. Do you have a solution?
try to calibrate the gimbal before flight. make sure nothing is touching the gimbal during operation
Hi, what could be the possible reason I have frequent "USB Disconnected" error? Also, my Zino Mini Pro ascends and descends automatically without touching any of the controls.
you may check this video for my ZMP that is descending automatically.
ua-cam.com/video/ZgjCjOsV7ns/v-deo.html
faulty unit as usual that hubsan ships to many. contact support and i can only say good luck getting any support. thats the reason i am thinking to stopping my support for hubsan as well
well done Bro,
dont know if this has been answered. If you have any issues with the gimbal within 1 YEAR of purchase you should be able to send the drone to HUBSAN with evidence of the issue and proof of purchase. According to their warranty declaration if you open the drone and try and fix the issue then your warranty is VOID. FYI
What a fantastic tutorial! It is sure to be very useful for those who have the same problems. The only question that arises is whether the metal plate that caused the GPS connection problems will not have another unknown function that may affect the operation of the drone. I hope is not like that.
Thanks for sharing and best regards!!! 👋
I was told this tape has been removed from 2nd batch and onward. only first batch had it. so removing it will not cause anything bad
@@alishanmao how to know 1st and the batch after it?
@@ahmadalinafia309 I would have the same question. Also, what is it then about warranty if we peel off pieces that have been installed by Hubsan?
I wonder if the Zino Mini SE has that silver tape as well 🤔. It does take a while for it to gain GPS signal.
hello from mexico
hello there :)
Great video😃😃
Thanks! 😃
Has anyone had a barometer error? Mine says that on the screen and sensor error on the controller and it yells maximum alt. Reached. It will not take off. It hasn't been bumped or anything, just setting on the shelf for a few months unused in the factory padded case
Good job!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have another Hubsan Zino Mini Pro gimbal issue. The error message "Gimbal is under protection, please check if the gimbal is stuck". I have contacted service center back and forward through email more than 23 times, but the issue cannot be fixed. I repeated to remove the cables between the gimbal and mainboard again and again for more then 5 times, even I followed the instruction which they sent me the video. It doesn't fix the gimbal issue. Firmware has been updated and all the feature and function are working probably except the gimbal issue. I don't know who long I have to wait for the solution of this issue can be fixed. Just want to share the issue I am facing and hope that the Service center needs to make more effort to fix the customer issue.
ask for replacement
@@alishanmao Through the email and service support provided me a bad service. So far, I asked for shipping it back to fix or a replacement, they don't still have this further step about this. Just sent me the video and instruction file how to take out the gimbal cover and checking cables connection. 2 months past, but the issue doesn't fix yet. I don't know what they are thinking. DJI and Autel do not like this way for the customer support.
im having the same issue,i try to do what i saw in your video,but very sad there never fix the problem
You can contact the seller or support please.
@@alishanmao thanks bro,i will
i can read 48 Mpx shooting 2021-10-20........... nice
In your own words "All Hubsan makes is crap" I think you are confusing "All Hubsan makes" with the Zino line, and in that case I would agree whole heartedly. They have made some truly great products in the past and hopefully will continue to do so in the future. Continuing the Zino line as well as your involvement was an oversight on Hubsans part.
Past was past, hubsan drone quality and performance did change my mind and I am showing people the truth what hubsan drones can do. but again those scums for sure will use my past to try to prove that I am wrong. sad to see this his happening but they are digging their own hole. do not believe what they are posting against me
Normally, when we open a device the warranty will be voided.
that is why I said in description, please do check with seller before doing this.
Oh, small print. Also, videos forwarded with Whatsapp won't show description and comments unless the viewer opens it in a browser.

another awesome video thanks for sharing this info friend 🤜🤛👍👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🤠✋
Thank you too
Great job brother!! Keep it up.. Erwin from Windsor Ontario Canada.. Right across from Detroit.. I've been watching you since your rc cars and heli videos even when you were using the flight sims to learn 3d manouvers... Forget about the haters! Just keep doing what you do and keep looking forward & keep stepping forward!! God Bless Brother!
Awesome! Thank you! Erwin.
Perfeito irmão ajudou muito !🇧🇷
I got my drone calibrate it etc. , it is not stable hovering, it is not really controllable, any of you had this problem?
we did not have this issue
Nice video.
Many many thanks
how about zmse?hard to lock gps..even gps reach 21++ than droped to 10-15..
get a dji and thank me later
@@alishanmao already buy it just geo zone (nfz) nearby..so cant fly in direct location even it is the old airport..
Meu drone ele fica torto o horizontal depois cinco a oito minutos ele vai ficando certo
