If anyone is thinking of buying a Mini Pro or has just bought one, I think my conversations with 'Oxfordshire Man' might be of benefit. I think we ironed out a few basic problems with this drone. I've had mine for well over a year now and althougth it is a bit quirky, it is a good camera drone...

As MercifulPrince said: The Hubsan Zino Mini Pro looks awesome on paper. The Zino might have a higher spec camera, but the proof is in the results. If the Mini 2 gives better results, then that is the drone to go for, IMO. I do like my Zino Mini Pro, despite its quirks, but I've not owned or...

I like my 249gm Zino Mini Pro, but it is a little quirky. It has a good camera and obstacle avoidance, flies well and has good battery life. I expect that the Mini3 is a little bit better, if you have the budget. From what I read, DJI models are far more polished with much better customer...

A very good suggestion. It come with a controller but only one battery. I have a Zino Mini Pro which is a great little drone with a better CMOS sensor, but I've come to realise that the DJI software and maturity make the SE a much better bet. Even though its camera is not so good this is more...

I have a JJRC X11 (680gm), a few years old now, but I sometimes fly it with a GoPro equivalent slung underneath. My Action cam came with a strap and enough fittings to strap the cam underneath. Also, I have a handheld gimble stick (Jcrobot S5 3-Axis Handheld bluetooth Gimbal Stabilizer For...

This was a test of my Zino Mini Pro as I had been having problems with the app and photo and video recording, which now seem solved. This was filmed in North Cornwall

I had the X-Hubsan 2 app installed on my Android 10 tablet, which worked fine until it insisted on an update which repeatedly failed. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it from the app store. The new version (updated to 24 Feb 2022) covers many models but not the Mini Pro, so I can no longer...

Dronesgator reviewed it here: JJRC X17 review

That looks like a good buy to me. It's not an Air 2 but then it is a good price. My first 'proper' drone was a JJRC X11. On its first flight, I smashed it into a wall at speed, and broke an arm. My fault entirely. Plastic glue sufficed until I got a new arm but it made me realise how robust is...

Banggood has a GPS range around that price but I know nothing about any of them. Hopefully someone else here can adise. I do wonder if some of the cheaper GPS drones share the same software or firmware so this 'toilet bowl' problem might affect a few of the cheaper drones. Anyone?

I have a Bugs 7w that is inclined to do the same (great description BTW, off this problem). I find that I have to take extra care with the initial stabilisation and compass calibration. If you rush it in any way or if there are steel objects nearby that don't bother other drones, it will 'toilet...

Why not just another F11 or are there other factors, ie below 250gm? There seem to be plenty of sub $200 drones with GPS/brushless and a reasonable camera.

I don't think that you could do better than the DJI Air 2S if you are not restricted by the 250gm limit. This is by Stuart McIntyre with his DJI Air 2S at Framton on the River Severn, 2 days ago.

The Xiaomi Mi 4K, and the elderly Dji Spark are so different that it begs the question as to what you are hoping to achieve.

Sorry to pick this subject up so late, but I have a JJRC X11, upgraded to 4K, which I believe is an identical quad. It is very stable in my experience. I concur with your compass calibration findings. It seems more sensitive to metal objects or transmitting devices than other drones that I have...

Enjoyed that, thanks. That's long term planning!

That's sad. Has DJI overstretched itself by developing crop spraying drones as well as trying to bring updated products to the market? Time will tell.

I was given a toy - bought a slightly better one, and another that flew far away somewhere. Progressed to GPS drones but that 'toy' experience was great and improved my tree climbing skills no end! Welcome and enjoy the fun.

I am becoming more and more impressed with the ZMP. Not as 'polished' as the Mini 2 as yet, but lovely to fly and a good camera. Now if only Hubsan would fix the v. dark RAW photos! I'm sure it wont take long. (I have used maximum exposure increase on this RAW photo, to get it this bright!)...

In summary, 5G phones means a fifth generation 'phone. As davidhk129 said, 5G means 5GHZ WiFi (sometimes known as WiFi 5), nothing to do with 5th generation 'phones that work with 5G 'phone masts. The key is the 802.11ac standard, in the 'phone's specs.
