HUBSAN H117S ZINO: Functions

The flight range of the new quadcopter is 2.5 km. Not all professional drones can fly such a long distance. At the same time, the transmission distance of the signal is over 1 km.

HUBSAN H117S ZINO will take care of flight safety by controlling the charge of the battery, because the quadcopter is equipped with a “smart battery”. It allows the drone to determine the charge level and when it is low, the drone automatically returns to the launch place or make emergency landing.

The gadget received 3000mAh battery, which is enough for 23 minutes of flight. Also, the smart battery allows you to precisely control and reduce energy consumption. It takes 180 minutes to fully charge.

GPS function is useful. It is used not only to return home, but also to hold the position. You can release control, and GPS with the help of a barometer will incredibly accurately position your drone in space, allowing it to automatically maintain its position and altitude.

The drone is controlled via the remote control. It is synchronized with a smartphone on iOS or Android. The remote control works in the frequency range of 5.8GHz.

The video is broadcast using a smartphone and a mobile application instead of the built-in screen in the remote control. With this solution, the manufacturer solved several problems at once. Firstly, everyone has a smartphone and you do not need to overpay for an additional color monitor built into the remote control. Secondly, the remote control has become much smaller and takes up much less space. Thirdly, thanks to the mobile app, wide functionality is available, a lot of settings and features implemented in the drone.

HUBSAN H117S ZINO: Camera

As for the camera, the quality of shooting HUBSAN H117S ZINO is very good. All thanks to the latest high resolution camera with 4K. It is equipped with an aperture of F2.2 and a wide angle lens of 89 degrees. You can see the captured image in great detail and get ample opportunities to edit your shooting.

No matter how high quality your quadcopter’s camera is, it’s impossible to make a good video without stabilization. That is why Hubsan engineers have developed a special miniature hanger for the H117S Zino drone. The suspension stabilizes the camera tilts along three axes. This makes the video image smooth, as if you were shooting a video with a tripod. Just awesome!

The construction of 3-axis hanger itself is fixed to the drone case to prevent shaking and vibrations.

HUBSAN H117S ZINO: Modes

Now let’s talk about modes of new HUBAN drone, because there are a lot of them here. We begin with a panorama.

Shooting a panorama of a beautiful place from the drone is the best you can think of. However, it is not so easy to shoot a panorama in manual mode. That is why Hubsan H117S Zino has auto panorama mode. All you need is to gain height and choose a place, and then activate the function with one click of a button. The drone will rotate around its axis at a constant speed and shoot a smooth panoramic panorama just perfect.

If you want to capture the bright moments of your life, then Hubsan H117S Zino has a very simple, but creative mode. Activate it and your drone will move away from you in a straight line gaining height, and you will get an amazing video.

Also, the quadcopter Hubsan H117S Zino is able to recognize objects and follow them. All you need is to select an object in the mobile app, fly away from it for the required distance and height, and then activate the tracking function. Your drone will keep the object in view of the camera and keep the specified height and distance, flying behind it. You can take excellent shots, as you ride a bike, ski or surf, while your hands will be free and the drone will shoot in automatic mode.

The drone received one more very convenient function – automation of the shooting process. You just need to draw a route in the mobile app, set the flight altitude and activate the mode. The quadcopter will automatically fly to all points specified in the route, and its camera will be directed toward the flight. It allows you not only make interesting shots, but also patrol the territory!

If you are flying for the first time, then the function of automatic take-off and landing is very useful. Just press the button and your quadcopter will soar into the air and freeze in place, awaiting your further instructions. When you press the button again, the drone will land at the place it was launched.

A built-in GPS allows to return the drone to the place of launch, both on command and in automatic mode. If the connection with the remote control is gone, then the drone will arrive at the landing site. If the connection with the remote control is restored, then HUBSAN H117S Zino will hang in the air and will wait for your further instructions.

HUBSAN H117S ZINO: Price

The price of HUBSAN H117S ZINO is $279. The drone is perfect for both novice and people with experience in using the drone. Thanks to its size, design and functions, it will become a wonderful helper for you in everyday life and during your travels.
