Shoots in 4K and Can Stay in the Air for Up to 40 Minutes

This year, Hub­san is releas­ing the third drone in the Zino line. It is called the Zino Mini and is a slight­ly sim­pli­fied ver­sion of the Zino Mini Pro. The drone is very light and weighs only 249g, while it is equipped with a 3000 mAh bat­tery, which allows it to fly up to 40 min­utes or fly a dis­tance of about 10 km. The drone is equipped with a 1/1.3‑inch CMOS sen­sor and can shoot in 4K res­o­lu­tion at 30 FPS, how­ev­er, when stream­ing to a smart­phone, the res­o­lu­tion will be lim­it­ed to 1080p.

Inter­est­ing­ly, the drone is equipped with AI mode, which allows you to accu­rate­ly deter­mine the loca­tion of mov­ing peo­ple, vehi­cles or ani­mals. For record­ing in low light con­di­tions, a night mode is pro­vid­ed. The Zino Mini is avail­able with 64GB or 128GB of stor­age, which can be fur­ther expand­ed with a microSD card. Of course, the Zino Mini is cheap­er than the Zino Mini Pro. They ask for $459 for the new prod­uct, while the Pro ver­sion will cost $499, but in fact there are almost no dif­fer­ences between the mod­els. The key dif­fer­ence between the Zino Mini and the Zino Mini Pro is obsta­cle detec­tion: the Pro has sen­sors on three sides, while the Zino Mini only has one down­ward-fac­ing sen­sor. I am glad that high-qual­i­ty drones are becom­ing more afford­able, and their range is con­stant­ly updat­ed with new prod­ucts.
