Dude. The best thing about this channel, is that you need not go any further. The lad covers the review without bullshit or advertisment of the product. And it should stay that way.
before clicking on this video, i'm like "not another knockoff crap....." after watching the review, DJI have some serious competition at that price point when this actually cost just 1/3 of mavic pro. and, i want one.
sweet! such a high quality tech review, but it still has personality. I enjoy that you talked over the footage as you were controlling the drone. Good stuff!
Just a FYI, don't select the CN warehouse, it's been out of stock forever, they seem to have it in the other warehouse. I placed my order on Feb 28th with the CN warehouse and was still waiting for it as of April 29th. So yesterday I canceled it and reorded with the new code and used the other warehouse. Guess we will see what happens, not very confident with Banggood right now with Fimi products.
Yes a kiwi doing a review awesome. I just pre ordered one and ships to new Zealand on the 15th of May. Looking forward to learning to fly n shooting some good video footage. Thanks for your review put my mind at rest seeing the video quality and operation
Great review and appreciate the coupon. Ordered mine last night. Have been looking to upgrade from my Blade 350 QX3. Amazing the great selection to choice from. The DJI drones look nice, but decided to give the X8 a try. The reviews have been very positive.
@@N0k4N patience is the virtue of the strong, as we say here (🇮🇹). Think on the bright side, you'll have half spring and the whole summer to record new places! Have a good waiting 😉
Thanks for doing this review. This looks like a very capable drone and a good alternative to DJI. And that place you were flying looks like an AMAZING place to explore and fly around. Cheers.
Great video, well done with a clear introduction to the machine, through this I have just ordered mine, after taking the new test and getting my uk number.
Lovely views and interesting stories... drone seems nice but DJI is DJI and I would never buy anything else, have experimented and suffered. Keep it up!
Shit i own more that enough of dji QUADS and i love them all they are battle tested by me and have passed all of my tests in all types of environments. And durability A plus confirmed by me reliability Confirmed by me A plus all of them i have many flying miles on them still flying with no problems what so EVER. I love THEM.But FOR the best bang for the buck i have all of Xiaomi company quads and i love all of the ones i have they are fun to fly and for me Ilike the cameras once u get um together ive had no problems. I dont film for movie's are film for a living so the video is cool with me. And i do no this much for consumer quads it cool. Plus my buddy that FILM for holly wood has the real deal PRO quad and that dam THING is big and beautiful with that big ass CAMERA and all them motors. The ones we have are cool but the real professional cinema pro Drones Are Bentleys and Roll Royces compared to the consumer ones we have so we should be dam glad with the ones we have.
It is, there is a lot of beautiful places to see that I couldn't cover with the drove. But I did fly around the coast here before the law banned it. ruclips.net/video/bl19TyEnJvk/видео.html
Wow nice good drone... i'm using Hubsan H501S drone.... thinking of getting dji but is off my budget... might thinking of getting this drone after seeing your review... 🤔... anyway nice review bro... ✌🏽
Fimi A3 is also awesome for the price..its the dji tello killer with 1080p30 recording and well its from Xiaomi u very well know what to expect from this drone
@@Techtablets yup and thanks for reviewing this version instead..fimi a3's color and contrast seems a bit off in raw,but hopefully they got it for sale by year end
So you can fly without a phone, but is there a GPS/RTH button when not using a phone? Also if direct plug into any Android phone, does the phone need to be 802.11ac or is just a direct software link via the transmitter?? My phone is not 802.11ac hence the question.
Can you transfer the files wireless from the drone to your phone? Any difference between photos/videos there? DJI let you transfer all photos but only 1080p video or lower resolution. Do you know the limits of Fimi X8?
Hello bro, i also use this drone I face one problem in battery, after discharged the battery when i connect it with charger they can't charge, i try everything, when i insert battery to drone they work just 1 mint they show warning on remote (battery has been damaged) Unless battery is fine, Could You know about that?
Being video and photo quality the first and most important issue and secondly the wifi connection, what would you recommend to buy, prices are similar. Second-hand great condition mavic air or brand new Xiaoni Fimi X8? Thanks!
Great video, some beautiful shots there! I disagree with you on how important obstacle avoidance really is. If you were to fly in follow me mode totally relying on obstacle avoidance I'd think that's a bit risky anyhow. If you have taken the time to look at the surroundings and the available space without obstacles, you can perfectly fly in follow me mode.
All my drones ( 4 models) were from DJI company. I thought it was better than quadrocopters DJI one can not do! But it turned out that Xiaomi made this beautiful drone at a price half that of DJI Mavic Pro! Only two front sensors from collisions with obstacles is not present - that's the whole difference, but such a low price! This is only the beginning! And imagine what drones they will produce in the future?! To compete DJI will have to reduce prices, otherwise Xiaomi will be out of competition! Super drone at a super price!
underdog outdoors there's not a place that can repair it but you can just repair it yourself. It's pretty easy and there's a lot of spare motors and stuff.
Hi, Great video.... Looks like a nice machine for the money. Just a quick point on maximum altitude in Spain. The maximum altitude is 120m not 200m. I noticed that the app defaulted back to 120m after you changed it to 200m so no real problem anyway. Anyway, keep up the good work. :-) David
Yes my error, but as you saw in the video it doesn't save it or allows it. It went back to white, reverted to 120m. And I never went over 30m in this video and really ever do.
I was about to buy it, but I didn’t want to risk on a drone like that, if I destroyed the gimbal i wouldn’t find replacement, I bought a phantom 4 used for 600 bucks
I am considering to buy this drone to do some personal photogrammetry modelling with it. Anybody an idea whether this one is suitable for it? or whether the Mavic Pro has an advantage in this? In terms of Megapixels for still pictures they are same. Thanks

Coo!l. Next time, range test! And also drone behavior when loosing remote link. :-) Camera quality is excellent !
Ola Chris. I hope down south is keeping you well? A question if I may? I am seriously thinking about getting a quad copter (done) again. I used to have a Blade 250. Wondering what the of machine you would recommend? I am a very basic flyer that preferres to fly in headless mode. Have a budget if around €650? Was wondering if a second hand DJI Phantom might be worth a shout? Or maybe a DJI Spark but not worried about it's short flying time? Cheers mate.
@@Techtablets Ola Chris. I forgot all about my question here but thanks for replying pal. I ended up getting a highly rated drone on an offer to good to refuse. £225 for a Hudson 501s Advanced. 9 quad batteries, 2 controller batteries, a spare patch and a spare communication antenna, 2 bog standard balance chargers and one big Pro type charger, 6 sets of props, advanced upgraded fpv controller, big hard carry case/backpack, lipo safe carry pouches, 32gig SD card, brushless motors and other bits and bobs. All brand new and never used. Range of about 3 miles at most and in best conditions. About 20 minute flight time, or 35 when using a twin battery set up (which it's quite happy to do). 1080p recording, return to home, auto low battery landing, follow me, GPS co ordinated on screen if you lose it to help you find it. So, as you can see, quite a good I think?
@@cashcash6939 Man, believe me - it is a waste of money. One crash and gimbal or front leg is broken. The signal is poor. The Camera is awful. The drone is made from thin plastic as if it was a happy meal toy!
Laws are always changing here too. This could be the last video as the yare talking about requiring a pilot's license in order to be able to fly one and only in R/C and drone approved park flight areas.
Fantastic review, and great footage! I just got my FIMI X8 last week - i have a small issue with the 4K/30fps video quality though. The flow in the quality i see is not as smooth as your footage - may i ask which memory card you were using while shooting the footage of the tower seen in this video? Thanks a lot man!
I have this drone too! Started to really use it now. I bought a San disk high quality 64gb card from eBay. In my opinion, by a well known branded card. Very good quality at true 4k.
I'm always contemplating that someday i will have a Mavic of my own but my conscience just can't handle it given that its insanely costly and i will surely be completely broke so instead i'll just settle for the fimi x8 which is very affordable and has features and functions like that of a mavic pro..
This is a good drone for me. I live in a windy part of Vietnam so I wouldn't even consider the Mavic Mini and the other Mavic versions are too expensive for me
Delivered by gearbest or banggood? I bought it in december when I think you send a link and coupon but gearbest did not ship in February, March or April. Can't wait to get it cause I have a Zoom already fully equipped up to racing edition goggles. Great review ... Ifive mini 4s tablet in that white controller? Still my drone tablet
Last year I was checking out my friends dji spark just to see how it feels to fly a drone "we got the permission to test flight at the park video recording" well I was getting better at flying but out of nowhere a idiot comes with his drone and nearly crashed it to the spark my avi pulled the spark up at the last moment then the other drone crashed on elderly lady after the incident we found he didn't had permission to fly and drones are banned at the park all because of that idiot and his gang 😡
@@Techtablets yep it wont be long we will all pay for one idiots mistake. 422$ there isn't enough savings for me when you can get the pro with one battery for 650$ out the door ( refurbished from dji + still get a warranty and refresh) dji customer support is garbage but the drones are second to none in my opinion
WOW, the camera is amazing! I own Parrot Anafi drone. It's amazing. I went to the Philippines. My brother-in-law bought it. I don't have any drone now. I'm looking for a new one. Is Fimi better than Anafi? I don't need obstacle avoidance.
The video from that drone is rock steady! For the price that could be a great business tool. The old fly over the corporate HQ and show off the millions you blew on that fine green lawn!.
Get a real cheap, disposable drone from a toy store or online first, and get your initial experience on that. A $422 hole in your wallet still hurts if you crash.
@@Avantime Good point. There is also beginning mode in the app for the FIMI that helps. But some experience is always better to have before flying $422 and crashing it.
How did you manage to create such light colurful videos?! I just received my FIMI and i live in Spain - so conditions are pretty much same as in video - my footage turns out quite dark compared to yours, even in full sunny days. Tried filming towards sun and away from it, but don't come anywhere near your video of the tower - simply amazing!
I would like to buy my first drone but am not sure if I need those sensors... Usually you name cheap alternatives aren't there any for this model or is it that good to compare it to DJI? 😁
No real alternative, maybe the Mi Drone 4k but this is better. If you need to the sensors the Mavic 2 Pro has them all. If you plan on tracking yourself and you'll have trees and building around the Mavic's at least have front collision avoidance.
It's always 120m or 400 feet. Whatever type of flight it is. Only when you segregate airspace for research can you fly higher, but these are exceptional cases. The review very well but as a pilot a real disaster, not only does not know the rules of where you are flying, but over flies in airspace of special protection of birds and in a natural space, which without permission is totally prohibited. VERY BAD, so much so that we love drones and we don't even know the minimum regulations of where we can fly, and on top of that you are going to fly to a country that is not yours and you make it even worse...... In this way we neither promote nor protect the hobby we love so much, quite the opposite.........
Yes my error, but as you see in the video it doesn't save it or allows it. It went back to white, reverted to 120m. And I never went over 30m in this video and really ever do.
Latest response from banggood ... I think they dont want to honor the coupon price.... Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for placing the order on Banggood. We regret to inform you that there is no suitable shipping method to ship the item to your country due to some shipping regulations of the logistics company. We are deeply sorry about that we are afraid we will have to cancel the order and apply a full refund for you. Is it acceptable for you? We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Yeah definitely agree with that. In saying that if you're comfortable flying drones I'd seriously consider this drone. But again another great review mate, keep it up.
@@Jeffs8247 Yes if you're already flown drones like the Spark or Mi Drone then this the one to go for. You'll find most people don't need the fancy modes anyway. You tend to use it 2-3 times and then never again at least in my experience.
It only took a few days once I reordered with BG it shipped I was shocked as there had been huge stock issues since Novemeber, I first had it ordered with gearbest but they never seem to get stock so gave up and used Bangdood.
I recently got the fimi and having issues SD card issues to transfer photos/ videos to my iphone via lighting adapter card reader. So I formatted the SD via the option on the fimi ap/control feature. The drone appears to be writing on the 64GB sandisk extreme SD card but when I plug the device into my phone or IPad it says that there is nothing to transfer over or doesnt see that there is anything on the card…..do you have and ideas on how to fix this issue….should I get a 32 GB micro SD card? Anything would be appreciated.

This is how to review a drone not only unboxing and all that talking
Very nice review as usual and beautiful view in Denia.
Great video thanks, this helped me choose this drone!
Just got mine, I will definitely keep in beginner's mode until I'm comfortable with it.
Nice enjoy the drone it's really good for the price. Yes good idea beginners mode until you get the hang of it.
Thanks to the review. That's help me a lot which brand should i buy. I like this and the Gimbal looks so stabil and the camera also looks so good.
It surprised me just how super steady, rock steady it is and it did encounter some winds in the gully.
Can you fold with blades attached?
Lovely views and interesting stories... drone seems nice but DJI is DJI and I would never buy anything else, have experimented and suffered. Keep it up!
I can understand that, yes DJI is DJI the drone leader. But this one really is quite impressive for the price and will hurt their sales.

From the spark yes, for the flight time alone and then the footage.

My Samsung 128GB also worked.
У этого дрона нет NFZ. Это очень хорошо. Его нельзя сбить спуфингом. И он летает на реальные 5км без танцев с бубном с включением fcc как у dji.
Кот на промке. Картинку реальную с него видео как выглядет 4K видео? NFZ ето не смогут сбить с курса и захватить?

Video quality is the most important thing for me.
This fimi x8 has great quality. Just watch my footage
Last year I was checking out my friends dji spark just to see how it feels to fly a drone "we got the permission to test flight at the park video recording" well I was getting better at flying but out of nowhere a idiot comes with his drone and nearly crashed it to the spark my avi pulled the spark up at the last moment then the other drone crashed on elderly lady after the incident we found he didn't had permission to fly and drones are banned at the park all because of that idiot and his gang 😡
That's the issue, too many fools ruining it for everyone else that flies safe and with the rules and limits.
@@Techtablets yep it wont be long we will all pay for one idiots mistake. 422$ there isn't enough savings for me when you can get the pro with one battery for 650$ out the door ( refurbished from dji + still get a warranty and refresh) dji customer support is garbage but the drones are second to none in my opinion
Did you update all the firmware of all the components for the review, or did you just fly it as is out of the box?
Yes all up to date before flying it. I always check at the time of the video firmware for drones, phone and anything.
awesome video, thank you very much
Excellent value. Four of these or one Mavic... now let me see...
Yes, not a hard decision unless you need collision avoidance. I think most don't.
WOW, the camera is amazing! I own Parrot Anafi drone. It's amazing. I went to the Philippines. My brother-in-law bought it. I don't have any drone now. I'm looking for a new one. Is Fimi better than Anafi? I don't need obstacle avoidance.
I think it is better, but i've never flow any Parrot drones.
im about to get my self a mavic pro 2 but i think ill wait some time, this drone was intresting :)
Great review, as always! What's the range of the quad?
5km video range, I couldn't test the controller range due to local laws.
Fly smoothly
The video from that drone is rock steady! For the price that could be a great business tool. The old fly over the corporate HQ and show off the millions you blew on that fine green lawn!.
Yes perfect for that, the footage is really steady and later there was even a bit of wind up between the gully, the gimbal handled it so well.
I have the slight feeling this will be my first drone... 🚁
Get a real cheap, disposable drone from a toy store or online first, and get your initial experience on that. A $422 hole in your wallet still hurts if you crash.
@@Avantime Good point. There is also beginning mode in the app for the FIMI that helps. But some experience is always better to have before flying $422 and crashing it.
How did you manage to create such light colurful videos?! I just received my FIMI and i live in Spain - so conditions are pretty much same as in video - my footage turns out quite dark compared to yours, even in full sunny days. Tried filming towards sun and away from it, but don't come anywhere near your video of the tower - simply amazing!
Did you update all the firmware?
Yes there was about 4 of them
I would like to buy my first drone but am not sure if I need those sensors... Usually you name cheap alternatives aren't there any for this model or is it that good to compare it to DJI? 😁
you can buy the xiaomi fimi a3 you can buy it for 227 euro on banggood with coupon: 5e5a6d
No real alternative, maybe the Mi Drone 4k but this is better. If you need to the sensors the Mavic 2 Pro has them all. If you plan on tracking yourself and you'll have trees and building around the Mavic's at least have front collision avoidance.
Where in China did you get it?
Nice review! (It's actually 120m maximum height in Spain if it's recreational).
It's always 120m or 400 feet. Whatever type of flight it is. Only when you segregate airspace for research can you fly higher, but these are exceptional cases.
The review very well but as a pilot a real disaster, not only does not know the rules of where you are flying, but over flies in airspace of special protection of birds and in a natural space, which without permission is totally prohibited. VERY BAD, so much so that we love drones and we don't even know the minimum regulations of where we can fly, and on top of that you are going to fly to a country that is not yours and you make it even worse...... In this way we neither promote nor protect the hobby we love so much, quite the opposite.........
Yes my error, but as you see in the video it doesn't save it or allows it. It went back to white, reverted to 120m. And I never went over 30m in this video and really ever do.
Latest response from banggood ...
I think they dont want to honor the coupon price....
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for placing the order on Banggood.
We regret to inform you that there is no suitable shipping method to ship the item to your country due to some shipping regulations of the logistics company. We are deeply sorry about that we are afraid we will have to cancel the order and apply a full refund for you. Is it acceptable for you?
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
I've seen Dustin Dunnills review of this. It looks like a definite keeper...
I'm impressed for the price I think it's hard to beat, sure it's not perfect and cuts out on obstacle avoidance but they had to cut costs somewhere...
Yeah definitely agree with that. In saying that if you're comfortable flying drones I'd seriously consider this drone. But again another great review mate, keep it up.
@@Jeffs8247 Yes if you're already flown drones like the Spark or Mi Drone then this the one to go for. You'll find most people don't need the fancy modes anyway. You tend to use it 2-3 times and then never again at least in my experience.
May i know which memory card you use in drone during record video?
Samsung Evo microsd u1 card 64gb
How long did you expect to send from the seller?
It only took a few days once I reordered with BG it shipped I was shocked as there had been huge stock issues since Novemeber, I first had it ordered with gearbest but they never seem to get stock so gave up and used Bangdood.
Is the zino pro any good
That nice quality
Looks good!
I recently got the fimi and having issues SD card issues to transfer photos/ videos to my iphone via lighting adapter card reader. So I formatted the SD via the option on the fimi ap/control feature. The drone appears to be writing on the 64GB sandisk extreme SD card but when I plug the device into my phone or IPad it says that there is nothing to transfer over or doesnt see that there is anything on the card…..do you have and ideas on how to fix this issue….should I get a 32 GB micro SD card? Anything would be appreciated.
how does it handle the wind?
Not so great in high wind the auto hover was a mess so I landed it asap. Not recommended in winds
With dji they have compatibility issues with android phones...this might be a good alternative
