Awsome review on this drone. I truly enjoy flying mine.
Man the footage is crisp! The colors are nice not really any gello either. The version one I had was permanently stuck on indoor mode so I couldn't even fly it I hope this one will be better.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you
First time drone buyer and your videos are very informative and helpful. Thank you.
Pretty darn solid cinematic views and videos
Thanks for the awesome review. Just bought one.
Kudos Jack!
Considering joining the fun and I like your vids-good content well delivered without inflection or accent, and you’re covering the facts I need. Good stuff.
Thanks and KUTGW!
Glad you enjoy the videos
Thank you sir for this information 🤙 very helpful I just ordered one wish me luck
Good luck.
I wonder if you have the same outcome Jack? Intelligent/one click flight modes are poor quality video output due to being only a tiny 8bit I saw on another channel. I was curious if you noticed any quality issues on the intelligent flight modes when viewed on a larger screen? Many thanks for all your very helpful advice by the way. Am trying to find an outlet for this here in England but no luck so far.
Comprei um a 2 meses, gosto muito dele. É um otimo drone. 👏👏🤝🇧🇷
The Imagequality looks crisp, but there are dropped frames every few seconds. Is this also in the raw footage? Also some jello effects are visible in some shots.
Do you think active track would have found you if it wasn't for the picnic table? It looks like it locked onto the picnic table even before you walked behind the tree. From the camera's POV the table top is roughly the same size and same color as you.
Happy to see xiaomi drone getting better
Me too. Great for everyone.
Whats the best usb charging block for these batteries for this drone? I notice a "slower" charger I have charges the battery quicker while my Samsung phone "fast" charger will take all day to bring the battery up to just 50%
Hello! I also live outside of Chicago. Is there a store or shop around here that specializes in just drones? Im so confused with what to purchase! I want some type of universal controller and universal googles that will work with these off brand drones. Any help is appreciated!
Muito bom heim este drone
I'm on my second one now. (Don't fly around trees in a valley with no gps) i loved it until the last update. Camera is all jittery now and video transmission keeps cutting out.
Did you already test the fimi mini 3? After the last firmware update really impressive because the saturation got much more realistic out of the box🎉
I love my x8se 2020 but I need a battery for it .
Jack, Hubsan just released the new mini 1 with 1inch sensor, but due to exo I don't think it will reach your side
We can get then threw bangood I believe
I've been considering a drone for some time. I have an auto channel so some low-speed "action" shots would be nice, as well as following the car (at low speed of course) or circling it. Nothing's really gotten my attention until now with this Fimi...
But there's also the ATOM and it looks strong too, for basically the same price.
I'd love opinions on which is the better one, as I'm a complete noob and don't know what I don't know!
Fimi is a little better. Also the Atom won’t follow.
@@HalfChrome Thanks so much!
people compare the dji with fimi and other chinese brands and say this is better just bc it flies good the quality of the camera gimbals battery cells etc is not the same, its like taking a range rover and compared to a dodge durango hemi, and say the dodge is better because is faster, well its faster but its a pos that wont last, the thing with Dji is the reliability and quality lasting, support dji its like the made in japan toyota of the drone world.
I might get this for Christmas.thx
If you do let me know. I’d like to hear what you think.
Also check the Amazon link. They are running a special discount.
Np 👍
Nice video. Would it be possible to fly it in FPV ?
Not really
Ok, I've gone full circle on what to buy as my first drone. I was convinced I needed obstacle avoidance since much of our property has trees but I would really prefer a mini drone so without buying a DJI, that leaves nothing. This Fimi X8 mini sounds like a good fit. From your reviews it seems like obstacle avoidance doesn't really work well anyway on these cheaper drones?
Obstacle avoidance is garbage on anything less than $500
@@HalfChrome thank you. I think I've made up my mind in that case.
Subscribed to your channel 👍 Many reviewers don't bother with cheap drones, suited for entry level people. I am not going to pay 1000 USD for something I might not even like doing...
I have seen comments on other channels about problems of horizon tilt with this video camera. Anyone here having this problem?
Can the active track feature follow the target vertically? Say if im rock climbing, will it follow as the target goes up?
I have never tried. Not sure.
Hi can you do a review on the cfly faith mini 2 please? Thanks!🙏
I will
@@HalfChrome thanks 😊
Hi! Do you have a coupon code ?
I am selling my v1 hopefully and now think I may try this ,if it is close to the DJI mini 2 I am in.
Who's gonna buy it though?
Do you need a computer to edit the high res video or can you use an app like DJI ?
I believe you need a computer.
Potensic Atom 3 axis gimbal is better. I have both. Fimi is faster and may have a better camera and more features. But it's just more rough around the edges than the Potensic and isn't as rock steady of a hover plus there is no fly more kit with a nice multi charger like the potensic
I just got the atom and it's great, thinking of looking about one with more range tho I get low signal warnings and lose video once it's reached 1/2km away
I just got this drone and have a question...does this drone have a fan...when I first turned it on I heard a fan like noise but when picked it up the noise stopped...then during firmware update got message on app to shut down drone because overheating...but no fan came on...before flying got same overheating message but no fan...it was cool out so luckily I finally got to fly...just worried fan not working right...if there is a fan...any idea what is going on...thanks
Check if it has any ventilation slits or holes anywhere on it , that could indicate wether it has a fan or not.
I have seen the fimi mini v2 compared against ALMOST every drone in its class/price range and also seen it compared to drones very different in price and class . Ive seen vids comparing it to dji mini , mini2 , mini2se , autel nano , cfly mini , cfly mini v2 , atom se , holystone drones , hubsan drones , ive eve seen it compared to $100 drones and to full size full price drones ( which seems pointless ) . What i havent seen is it compared to what seems to be its most direct competitor ( potenisic atom 3 axis ) . However , Imo , in terms of price/features/perfomance , the atom 3 axis seems to be its closest competitor , yet i cannot find one single vid directly comparing it to the atom 3 axis ??? . I would love to see somebody do a direct head to head , in depth deep dive comparison between just the atom 3 axis and the fimi mini v2 and leave all of the other ridiculous comparisons out of it . Just sayin
We did a comparison. What is the BEST drone under $300?
ruclips.net/video/XMoL3msr2Ec/видео.html
@@HalfChrome that was just a general comparison of several drones and didnt really dive too far into the specifics of any of them . You didnt even state if the atom was the 3 axis or not .also if the atom in that vid wasnt the 3 axis then it is obvious why you would prefer the fimi mini v2 .The atom 3 axis is the only one that is a close comparison to the fimi mini v2 in terms of price/features , and the dji minis have geofencing which makes them sort of a different animal . I have yet to see anyone do a deep dive head to head comprison ( with extended flight footage/range tests/ camera/color comparisons , tracking comparisons , precision landing/ rth comparisons , pros cons of each , etc ) of the atom 3 axis vs the fimi mini v2 , which seems weird to me . just sayin
@TheXanthoman I’ve just added it to my list…
@@HalfChrome thanks anxiously awaiting , will subscribe
You seem very huffy and protective of your atom drone.. Hehe bet you baught this one to just to put it to bed..!
I have about had it with my DJI's.
Firmware updates, problems connecting, etc....
One question- Does your phone have to be wired into the remote ?
They've become a pain in the....
Do you still need line of sight to the remote or can fly out of sight?
You can fly beyond LOS
I’m torn. About to purchase a Christmas gift for my 11 yo daughter…. Never flown a drone before. If you had to choose.. would you purchase a dji mini 2 se refurbished by geek squad / Best Buy for $239 or a new fimi mini version 2 for $249 from Amazon? Tough choice
For an 11 year old? Neither. I’d get a less expensive holy stone. However if it’s really for you…
Actually. Changed my mind and decided to make it a family drone adventure. Got my parents a cfly mini, and my 11 yo daughter a ryze Tello with 3 batteries…. since she’s addicted to her iPhone. Was about to pick up the dji mini 2se for me and my 9yo boy. Instead got him a Syma x440 and got myself the fimi mini v2 from Santa (decided to avoid geofencing issues since nobody else has dji). Should be a fun drone flying adventure from Santa on Christmas morning. Hope they all work. Maybe I’ll make a video. Lol Great informative videos by the way. You are def my drone goto after today…. I picked all based on your recommendations. Thank you! Ever try the new syma x440?
Look out for the C-Fly mini2. It is a better comparison.
I’m waiting to test it.
@@HalfChrome this drone, C-Fly mini 2 and the Xiaomi Atom👍🏾
How does this compare to the potsensic atom se? I am debating between the two.
It is very similar to the Atom. The SE doesn’t have a full gimbal.
@@HalfChrome so this is a better drone
@kylefreemason than the SE? Absolutely
Can you use an android phone. I will not use a DJI because they are iPhones only
That is not accurate
Man all of the good minis are getting updates but still nothing in comparison to the mini 3 pro even
Isn't the mini 3 pro over double the price
After 300 miters disconnected so its not 9k
Can l wear FPV goggles when operating this drone? I'm also outside of Chicago, I live in Dyer, Indiana. Are there any stores that specialize in drones around here? Or any clubs for someone to learn and grow from? I'm new to this and have a lot of questions! Thanks!
There are some Facebook groups but no stores anymore. That’s cool. Unfortunately no goggles with this one.
@@HalfChrome How can I know what drones are compatible with some goggles? Is there a protocol to look for?
@ELNino46311 camera drones typically are not. FPV drones are their own thing.
Is this better than c fly mini 2?
Yes
how far is this drone can fly
it has 9km transmission range
What drone can I get if I don't use a cellphone?
Either an expensive one that has a built in screen or a very cheap on.
the footage looks better than potensic or am i tripping?
Personal preference
@@HalfChrome I cant see any grain, potensic is quite noticable especially night footage
Good video but this is Walmart type trash compared to DJI
It’s definitely a step above Walmart trash drones
Not bad for whom first start on this drone hobby , learn how to fly and not hurt the wallet😂..
99% of the videos on this drone are people doing demos with affiliate links, not actual usage.
So I didn’t actually use this drone? Odd. I thought all the pictures and videos came from the drone.
@@HalfChrome Search Xiaomi Fimi videos on youtube, 99% are demo videos with video links. Did I say anything about your video?
even in the link you provided, this drone is over $400.
Odd. It was $299
@@HalfChrome I wish. I'd buy it right now lol
Try this one: www.banggood.com/custlink/mDKF6w8iac
I just bought the orange edition w 2 batteries direct from the Fimi official store…. $286. 😊
@azdigbee wow. Great deal
camera is not good enough, so waste of money, better buy dji and learn on real drone directly
The drone has the same camera as the dji in its class. It also has more advanced features. Strange take.
More features than DJI. Now that DJI is going to be banned which is nuts I am thinking twice about a DJI.
@@2WHEELADVLIFE a lot more Drone company's will be banned aswell
Not less than 300 dollar my friend.. try around 500
I literally just ordered this last night from Banggood @ $265 shipped. It’s also advertised on Amazon for $299.
JUST GET DJI 😂😂😂😂😂😂
At this price point this might be better
@@HalfChrome dji mini 2 4k drone for like $200 most places
@KentRoads mini 2 is $450 on Amazon and DJI. If you can get it for $200 then yes, all day but certainly not most places. Or really anywhere I’ve seen.
@@HalfChrome will rephrase, second hand its $200 :D
@KentRoads that would still be a deal
Without follow-me yet another crippled product for people who don't go any further than the local park.
Can I ask you a question? If you move from one spot to the other, are you then still at the same spot? I'm asking because the app shows 'Home'. Now what good is it that if you use the tracking feature? OK optical tracking is a nice feature to get certain shots. But this is completely worthless if you's on a bike tour. I don't know about you, but I actually like to get somewhere. Having to ride back all the way to where it took off is not an option. The drone has to come to me. But you drone reviewers never mention if it has a homepoint update. We can only guess. It's so important.
@driewiel the home shows where you took off regardless of mode. I’m guessing you can reset the home point but I’m not certain. I’ll check next time I take the drone out.
@@HalfChromeYes thanks. Please do check in the future if you think some model could be good hiker/biker drone, either with follow-me (of which I'm a big fan if it is programmed right, most aren't), or active-track, or just because it is easy to fly manually.
I mean just imagine rock climbing and suddenly the drone decides to return home. Or on a moving boat. Or you launch it on a road, ride your bike, and before you make it back a trucks runs it over.
Last year I flew my funny $130 L109 Pro. It automatically updates homepoint. But I forgot it only does so when using follow-me on the phone. So then it's panic or what I call 'sports mode' to race all the way back! Luckily the RTH was set high enough not to hit any tree. However when it is hilly terrain that may not always be the case. What you want is the drone flying towards your last location, hover for a while, and very slowly come down giving you all the time to take over and land it safely. That is exactly what my L109 Does when using follow-me in the app.
I was wondering why the video quality seemed awful, go figure I was watching the video on 720p and somehow didn't notice that 🥲
Did you already test the fimi mini 3? After the last firmware update really impressive because the saturation got much more realistic out of the box🎉
Not yet
