    Usually, you get what you pay for. However, Fimi breaks this rule. I have mini v2, and what I have to admit... I like this drone. It offers more than one can expect for this price. Certainly, it shoots not so great as DJI mini 3 or 4 does, it hovers not so stable, and the controls are not so smooth. Yet, flying is interesting. Tons of features, solid body and a crazy speed😅

    The fimi mini 3 is definitely feature packed.
    Many more features than my DJI mini 2 and comparable to my DJI mini 3 pro. Some of the features work better than dji. eg. orbit. However my dji drones are better flying., more stable, better in windy conditions and fly further and for longer.
    I'm happy with my fimi mini 3. Good for the money. However if you can afford it always buy DJI. You'll have a better experience.

    I used your BG discount code to order a Fimi Mini 3 (Thanks for that.) It will supplement (or maybe replace) my venerable DJI Mini 2. I'm most interested in the camera with its low-light performance to make the most of the sunsets we see down here (Tasmania). I'm also wondering what (if anything) it could capture of the occasional Aurora Australis we get in these parts.

    I would avoid Fimi drones all together.they sent me a defective drone then sent me a return label, it was delivered and signed for and they tried saying they didn’t get it and I have to get the drone back(from across the country) and send it to china, which obviously at this point is impossible to do. The kicker was when they tried to tell me to mark the value of the drone as 1$ and to tell the post office there are no batteries so they get as cheap as possible shipping. Xioami Fimi Is a scam. That’s just my experience but the drones suck too. Honestly the toiletbowling is worse then holy stone which is saying a lot

      Just so you don’t get the wrong understanding of the video… that range test was not MAX range. As noted in the video, I live in Canada and am not permitted to fly out 5.5 miles, so I cut it short at just under 1.5 miles just to show that the video coming back to the transmitter was not choppy.

      @@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for letting me know. I received the mini 3 today and I could not even reach 400 meters without losing video signal and I was doing the same route I did many times with the Potensic Atom going 5 km ( 10km total ). Tried 2.4 and 5.8GHz, many antenna angles to no avail, the signal goes frame by frame and when I turn the drone it just completely breaks the connection and the drone enters RTH. Do you happen to have any tips on that ? Thanks

      @@CAPTAINDRONE798Sorry, I was taking about the fimi mini 3. Well, the potensic is wifi and can handle that same area pretty well and got 10x more range . I will try a new pairing tomorrow and see how that goes. FCC tells me the fimi got one antenna for 5.8GHz and the other for 2.4GHz on the drone and controller and that setup makes it is very limited specially if you turn the drone to the right while using 5.8GHz. DJI mini 2/4k got two dual band antennas and the potensic atom got two 2.4GHz antennas and with that kind of arrangement it doesn't matter which side you turn the drone to. 5.8Ghz is good for short range penetration and 2.4GHz is better at long range.

    Hi capt.drone..does this drone no need to calibrate before flying??

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  3 месяца назад +2

      Nope. You only calibrate the compass if the drone tells you to. The only time the drone will tell you to do that is if you went and placed the drone near a metal object before takeoff.

    The manual says that a flashing red light on the back of the drone means that the drone is ready to fly, but it just keeps flashing green. i waited 30 minutes and tried compass calibration and changing the antennas position, but still the same, and i only get 15 sattelites or lower, maybe thats the problem?
    Also the app gives a warning saying "sensor temperature too high" even if i just have the drone ON for 5 minutes?
    should i calibrate the compass, RC, and gimbal every time i turn the drone ON?

      I’m not sure what you are doing but simply take the drone outside, power it on with remote and phone connected. When you see at least 9 satellites on your phone screen… FLY! Ignore the lights. Also, every drone on the planet produces heat when sending a video signal, so if you don’t fly within 2 min of Turing on the drone, it’s gonna get hot.

    The Fimi mini 3 is a good drone for beginners who like a lot of features.
    I own Fimi mini 3, DJI mini 2, and DJI mini 3 pro. Besides the features the Fimi mini 3 pales in comparison to DJI when it comes to video/photo quality and performance. The fimi video/photos look over saturated with bad color profile. The microchip is weak and gives you poor transmission. Flight time and range are much shorter than DJI. Hover is very unstable and it flies poorly on windy days.
    If you are a professional photographer buy DJI. If you are a beginner then Fimi is good enough for you.

      All drones have lag, but obviously some drones have terrible lag. If a drone ONLY connects with the WIFI of your phone nice a cable going from the remote to your phone, then LAG is increased because it then becomes based on how good or bad your phone is and not the drone. So I'm guessing you have a less than stellar phone.

      If you are a hobbyist and want more competitive choices, at better prices, never buy a "you know what". Obstacle Over Hype is a Gimmick, as are these advertised ridiculous ranges. There should be a different rating for this instead of "range". As a hobbyist you would have to break FAA rules to use these features to their fullest. Visual line of sight means you have to be able to see the drone with your own eyes, all the time. Purposely turning your back to your drone while flying it means you can no longer see the drone with your own eyes, unless you are looking over your shoulder the entire time. Even a rear view mirror is not your own unaided vision just as using binoculars is not.
