Better late than never, after Christmas shopping, but the updated bird has arrived!

Hubsan Zino 2 demo - you could easily be the best-selling drone of 2020!

The Hubsan Zino was a pleasant surprise among the drones this year, so much so that I also got one and have been using it happily ever since. Very good flight characteristics, durable back, carbonless engines and a three-axis gimbal-tipped camera with real 4K resolution, all at an incredibly friendly price. No wonder a lot was invested in the plane in the spring.

There were some objectionable capabilities, such as a complete lack of sensors (except for GPS, which in turn did well), a relatively short range of one kilometer, a weak remote control compared to more expensive competitors, and an asshole battery. These are things you can live with a lot, especially since the price was affordable, so many of them could have been cheap birds for taking real 4K shots compared to the options.

It was expected that Hubsan would not wait long and an improved release would arrive sooner or later. Well, the time has come, and while the machine hasn’t changed much at first glance, the appearance is very deceptive. Everything has gotten better than its predecessor, in return the price has gotten higher, though, it still kept in a lot of competition with Xiaomi’s best drone, and, because of its better abilities, it is now really threatening DJI’s entry-level drones.

Let's see what has changed! First, the battery capacity has increased. Compared to the 3000 mAh capacity of the first version, we already get 3800 mAh capacity, which has drastically increased the flight time. The 23 minutes so far hasn’t been bad either, but due to the increased battery capacity, we now get 33 minutes on a single charge. What's more, the good news is that the shape of the battery has also changed, instead of the much-criticized plug so far, we get a snap-on design on the belly.

The already super good camera also got better. Based on the images, it seems that the gimbal that moves the camera has also been given a more powerful design, and the 4K resolution camera on it is now able to record 30K videos at not only 60- but also 4 FPS frames. This is really a huge improvement, we are also curious to see the first real test videos with the new camera, which features a 1 / 2.3 inches Sony sensor and under which one of the best system chips, the Ambarella H22, works!

The changes are not over here! As you can read, battery life has increased by almost 50 percent. We will now be able to really take advantage of the long flight time, as the range has also increased sixfold, from 1 to 6 kilometers. To be able to fly easily to such a distance, we also need speed. That wasn’t bad on the first version of the Zino either, I don’t think a lot of people cried because of the speed of 60 kilometers per hour, but instead we’re getting 72 kilometers per hour now, it’s also a respectable increase.

And no, the repairs aren’t over yet. One of the most criticized parts of the Zino 1 was the remote control. The quality of this is really immersed from DJI, but also a bit from Xiaom. Of course, it wasn't useless, with a little practice you could really move the machine gently, but it didn't hurt to improve the quality. Based on current information, this has also happened. The arms can finally be unscrewed, making transport much easier. The remote control also received a display, on which we can also see telemetry data, but the number of satellites detected by the GPS can also be seen based on the images. Apparently the part under the arms has also changed, so hopefully inside, the mechanics have also changed a bit.

By the end, the sensors were left. In the case of the Zino 2, we don’t get a DJI Mavic Pro level sensor army either, but the point is, we get belly-mounted sensors responsible for altitude keeping and landing accuracy. In the case of the Zino 1, the most painful thing for me was the lack of indoor flying. With GPS, it kept both position and altitude accurate, but in the absence of GPS, it became essentially unusable. For this reason, it is important that the Zino 2 has already received abdominal sensors, so its movement and controllability will be more (hopefully) indoors as well.

As you can see, the new Hubsan Zino drone really fixes any bugs that users blamed with the first version. Unfortunately, better quality is accompanied by a higher price, but there is nothing to be surprised about, not only development, but also the production of the machine becomes more expensive due to better parts. In the current introductory promotion, the first 1000 customers will receive the base set for $ 399,99. It’s still lower than the price of DJI’s smallest machine, and round $ 100 cheaper than the Xiaomi FIMI X8 SE as well. So, one of our eyes is crying because the new version has become more expensive, but the other name because it is still the cheapest in its category. Maybe I should buy one…
