On the paper, it would be better than the mavic air 2... bigger sensor, better in low light, better in fly time, better in zoom, and all that in a 249g drone? I don’t believe it.
200 Mb ??? We don’t even have sd cards for that...

[jessecampbell]

Another one bites the dust. Don’t come at my Mini 2 ya’ll. Kidding! Let’s wait and see. Hard to tell when we don’t even have the actual thing yet.

[ozstrayapanoramas]

Manufacturer 40 minutes battery flight time usually means about 25% less in real use, say about 30 minutes, 48mp would indicate it's using a quad bayer sensor, 1.85 fixed aperture means good low light capabilities, some of the other capabilities will need to be tested upon its release to see how good it is.

I had the first gen Zino and the control sucks as compared to my dji Mavic Air 2. I am quite impressed to the spec. of the Zino mini pro. Hope its control improved and close to dji after few years.

[DroneFlyer]

We have all these DJI killers come and go and none have really stepped up to the plate. I had one of the biggest collections of Hubsans and loved them but for me they still have remained in the "Toy" drone space. Don't get too excited Guys you may be disappointed. Perhaps Vernon has got a new job?

[jamesyates]

Too early to tell I think. DJI Mini 2 on the other hand has already proven to be such a really good tiny drone. Not going to let it go yet.

[sirhilsam]

If these claims are realty, Hubsan would lead the mini drone market.
Your move Dji

[AsgardStudios]

Looks good on paper! I noticed a striking similarity to the Mavic series. Nice to see DJI getting some serious competition.

[patrickwalsh]

Hubsan is a brand often overlooked by the drone community. It’s a fast-growing brand that can stand up to the big boys.

[johnk]

Was watching the SpaceX launch. Good preview video, Ash . 40 minutes flight time may indicate total time with included batteries, as some companies do.

[reguza]

Hope for AUTEL and SKYDIO make 245gr drone too, with their best engineering.

[bveldman]

The 6x zoom is most probably digital ands the 40 minute fly time probably refers to (as many of their ads do) a 2 battery package. meaning 20 minutes per battery - about 25%

[StevieProton]

The market for a sub 250g drone could be massive and I'm surprised DJI have been the only provider so far. Let's hope this gives us a bit more choice. Just waiting for Autel to follow suit.

[Pyro]

I was wondering when someone would make a sub 250g drone with avoidance and active track... it doesn’t seem possible to get under weight... still thinking about picking up a used Autel or something for active track shots... trying to avoid the geo fencing too. It will be interesting to see if this actually happens.

[Cryptoman-mcnb]

Im sold. My guesstimate. This things real already and not just a concept. It looks as if they have had some R an D help from a competitor.

[plwkPentax]

Przy przekątnej matrycy 1/1.3" oraz 48 Mpix (8000x6000) wielkość pojedynczego piksela musi być mniejsza niż 1, 95 µm. Wielkość pojedynczego piksela 2, 4 µm może mieć matryca o przekątnej 1". Takie wielkości byłyby, gdyby komórki zajmowały 100% powierzchni matrycy.

[jetmartin]

Any new info on Zino Mini Pro availability? I've heard June and $499.

[matthewgleeson]

I'd be surprised if all the claimed features could be packed into a sub 250g drone and at that price point. Maybe they forgot to upload the promo video on the morning of Arpril 1? Still, such a craft would be well welcommed!

[TheStickyBusiness]

Awesome but since is HUBSAN it will be released in two or three years from now and it will be obsolete when it comes out.

[UncleBillsTribe]

Well, we'll see if all these seemingly incredible features actually come in this sub 250g drone.

Seems to me this early release video is just a marketing move to slow DJI sales of not just the mini 2 but also the Air 2s. This is showing not only much better specs than the mini 2, but near-ish Air 2s numbers in some categories at what will be assumed much less money AND under 250 gram advantages.

Hit DJI in the wallet, get folks waiting, meanwhile excitement over those 2 DJI drones has passed a bit, then the sticker shock of the next iterations of DJI; Mavic 3, possibly Mini 3 or 2s, so whatever this ends up being when it comes out will be an even better seeming alternative for the price.

Plus no mention of geo fencing, which will attract those who struggle with Fly app authorizations.
