Welcome to my Hubsan Zino review.

Hubsan are known for their budget friendly drones, most of their drones cost less than $200, they come with good features and are easy to fly. However, with the Hubsan Zino, they have now entered the higher end of the drone market and will be competing against the likes of DJI Mavic, Parrot Anafi and Autel Evo but without the price tag these drones come with.

I love drones and one of my favourite things about modern consumer drones is that nearly all of them come with cameras. Most of them are good but if you want a camera drone that is capable of taking professional high-quality aerial images and video footage, you would have to shell out a large sum of money.

The Hubsan Zino changes all that, it comes with a professional camera and some amazing features all for under $500. This is still a little expensive but when compared against its competitors, its much cheaper and comes with more or less the same features. It’s a drone that is suitable for everyone, from beginners, to more experienced pilots and especially those who are looking for an affordable 4k camera drone.

Hubsan Zino Review

Th first thing you will notice is that the drone follows in the footsteps of the Mavic Pro in its design features. The Hubsan Zino is a foldable drone which makes it compact and easy to carry around, it weighs just over 700g. If you travel a lot and looking for a good high-quality camera drone, the Hubsan Zino is perfect.

The drone is made out of high quality polycarbonate that is durable and will not damage easily, this is great for new flyers who will most definitely crash the drone a few times before they get the hang of it.

I like its black and white colour scheme and the LED lights underneath each rotor makes it look cool and suitable for nigh time flying.

The Hubsan Zino controller looks similar to that of the Mavic Pro, it feels comfortable in your hands and the controls are easy to reach. There is a smartphone attachment on the bottom but no attachment for something larger like a tablet.

You can control the drone with the RC or your smartphone. To use your smartphone as a controller, you will need to download the X-Hubsan app, which is available on both Google Play and the App Store. Th app provides you with even more features like limiting the distance your drone can fly, FPV, intelligent flight modes and map navigation.

The app is intuitive and easy to use, however, there are issues like connectivity and many people complain that the app uses too much power and drains the phone battery fast. However, they do release regular updates, so some of these issues will hopefully be resolved.
