First Flight Thoughts
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:32 am
My first flight with the Zino was a nominal success.
The only real glitch was I need to get a HUGE microSD card to handle the 4K video and MP4 still files. (So I don't have any photos or video to share, yet)
No problems starting up and binding with the Android version of X-Hubsan App. I did not try any of the trick functions but mapping look very stable. Craft and controller locations were well displayed. RTH with Auto-Land put the bird down within 1.5 feet of take-off point on three attempts.
I did experience the drifting after Auto Take-Off using the button on the controller that Dustin Dunnill showed in his video. Zino originally hopped up to 1.5 meters and drifted a bit. This stopped when I raised the altitude to 4 meters and the Zino stabilized in flight despite a 6-8 knot wind.
Other than that I need to dampen the control inputs, it is REALLY quick and will lurch around the sky with the slightest of input on the factory settings. But the camera stabilization makes the FPV view look like there is no buffeting around whatsoever.
There was a bit of WiFi lag every once in a while in the FPV, but not often and only after 20 meters distance, so that just may be due to the RF congested environment (every home for blocks around has a WiFi cable router)
Overall I'm really happy with Zino!
