As my 35 Y.O. Daughter says this is AWESOMESAUCE! I really like this an actual rival to DJI in the foldable drone space. I will absolutely be ordering this after we come home from vacation in June. It just keeps getting better as far as really great drones at reduced prices. DJI is going to come to a point where they may need to look at what and how they do things to stay ahead and crush all threats.I really like this. Thanks
I noticed a tilted horizon in some of the Fimi clips. The X8 is a great value, but don't buy it thinking you're getting a bargain Mavic. One of the best features of the Fimi X8 SE is it's speed, power and stability. It is a very easy quad to fly.
This vid popped up when I hit refresh by mistake. Probably the BEST mistake I've ever made. Call it fate, but I'm blown away by this quad. I have 2 brand new Hubsan H501S drones with extra batteries/2 in one charger ect. I'm going to do everything in my power to sell them, in order to get one of these ! Thank you for such a Great review. If it's the last thing I ever do, I'm going to get one of these. Loved and subscribed ..
My brother recently purchased a used Xaomi Mi 4K drone, very similar to a Phantom design wise. I was blown away by the build quality and the video footage by this drone, so this looks to be in the same league and for only a little more new than he paid for a used one. For the average user this looks to be a serious contender to DJI and definitely worth considering.
I bought new Xiaomi Mi 4K with $390 very satisfied. No any incidents, except 2 light crashes. Only one disadvantage, when you travel overseas, difficult to handle in the plane, large package.
Ive been flying the shit out of the 4 k since i got it a while back i actually put my dji quads all the ones i have up in the space i keep them in on hold for a long ass time when i got that big cool ass mi 4k its still my favorite quad that i have to take with me where ever i travel.They make some good quads for a beautiful ass price. I love all the ones i have just like all my dji ones love them 2 and my travel buddy to my husban 501ssadvance. That's been with me every where to.I love to have DIFFERENT quads for their different characteristics and different purposes thats why i never dismiss none of them if they pass my test i will purchase them if they dont ooh well. I never get stuck on one brand.if its a good fun to fly quad and i like it i get it. I just love to FLY. I dont need a quad just for its camera capability im not a cinema. Photographer or any thing like that but i do like taking a good picture and good video. For me its all about flying the quad and its fun factor do i love to fly it every time i take it up is what sells me on any QUAD. Is it reliable is it sturdy is it safe . THAT'S my thing when i look at a quad.Those things are # 1.
Wow, that is a good drone and less than the DJI, what about distance and how high it goes? And do you need a sofisticated phone to be compatible with the Fimi or just any Android will be ok to download App? Thanks!
Fimi is owned by Xiaomi and Xiaomi has released multiple Drones before. The Quality is still pretty good, and i'd honestly say that the price difference is absolutely worth it if it's just a hobby.
Yeah right dji is not going down to far on shit the mavi standard pro is still up there in price for the average working folks they dont come down to far on none if their over priced but good quads ive spent some much money on dji quads i dont have to buy no more i got the ones i need starting from the standard phantom with the artek set up good the advance the pro and the phantom 4 and the mavic pro i dont need the lastest pro im good ive been buying all tje Xiaomi quads and im very satisfied with them all and for a cool ass affordable price for a good QUAD.
Mario Passendorf, I agree one hundred percent , I am waiting on them like a cat waiting on a bird but knowing that DJI ,they have a hard mouth. when they do a reduction on anything it is always five percent or some nonsense like that.
I used to use an iPad Mini with my Mavic Pro when I owned all of the time. Not sure what converter is needed, it fit just fine. Nice review Justin, thank you.
The FIMI X8 unfortunately went up a little in price as that coupon code is no longer valid, but there is another coupon code that brings it to $450 which is still great deal, and I just purchased one at that price on banggood. In terms of this comparison I have to be honest and say that I think the Mavic Pro showed better video quality. To my eyes it was clearer, sharper and looked more natural. That said, the X8 still had nice video quality overall, and with it being HALF the price of the DJI, it's a no-brainer.
I couldn't find info about the following. Can you help? 1. Does it have an HDMI out port on the controller so I can use FPV goggles? 2. Does it have a map overlay while you fly? 3. What obstacle avoidance sensors does it have? 4. I saw it has flight planning. Is that an app for an iPadAndroid or is it a function of the controller? Thanks.
Great Review! - Thanks. I have very little experience with drones, I'm thinking of buying the BUGS 4W ($185.00) to learn and hopefully not destroy, before getting the FIMI X8, or should I just take the plunge with the X8?, what are your thoughts? - Thanks Rudy
The X8 never disappointed me. Even when flying over areas where there was no way to retrieve the drone if something went wrong. And super long flight times. It’s a winner.
Rudy Ambra ,take the chance I dont think you would regret it but also go with your gut feeling ,the bugs 4w is a great little fellow too cause I have the mavic pro and I still have the bugs 4w on my list .
Hi , I am interested in buying this drone but I have never used the bang good site . Is bang good a site to trust and how is there return policy and shipping ? Any input would be helpful thank you . Rob from CT
yeah, especially at 12:09 it's very obvious. Also it feels like he does not use the latest Firmware, since the Videos still look like they have the "blue-tint"-Problem, which was solved in the newer Firmwares. if you look at other new reviews the image quality is a lot better somehow
Important factor: on the Mavic Pro you are able to adjust the Gimbal speed and smoothness, as to where when you move the gimbal it's buttery smooth even at the start and end point. That in conjunction with adjusting the yaw rate makes for a super nice ability for cinematic shots. Otherwise you have jerky movements that look unprofessional or just something from a toy grade with a good camera. May not think it's important until you actually wanna use it so I feel it's a factor the Mavic is killer with and folks don't think about it or it's not brought up on reviews.. Not sure about the Fimi. ☮️
Yes, exactly that is my question. What good is lower cost drone with similar camera specs if the flight and gimbal controls do not provide buttery smooth movement? There's nothing worse than herky jerky movements when the camera is recording.
The fimi is a good drone for the money, and its the best 4k drone in that 500 dollar range. Seems like the fimi struggles with the color blue. Yeah you can fix it in post. Wondering if DJI is going to come out with another generation spark to compete with this fimi x 8se. DJI is really good at crushing the competition. No nd filters is a deal breaker, although they should be available soon.
Good video dude I just recently started watching your drone videos very professional job I like that you give straightforward information into the point I’ve been flying toy drones for about a year getting ready to upgrade to either The Zeno or this one which one do you think is best thanks for all your help
Mike Bojtor Parrot Bebop 2 is a good choice to get into the better quality drone scene On a budget. I flew one for a year and had tons of fun as well a great FPV range. 1080p optical stabilized camera 25 minutes flight on the power version I had.
@@MrPhilbautista Amperage can be determined from the ratings on charger P=VI or I=P/V: X8: I=39.15/13.05 = 3A MP: I= 50/13.05 = 3.83A Mavic is also smaller battery, so will charger faster than Fimi X8.
Hehe, lower price option? Using one or two discount codes, I bought the X6SE, two extra batteries and a two battery charging lead, for a whisker over half the price of a Mavic Pro.
Hay there Justin. Is the other port on the bottom a HDMI? I would like to use one of these GPS camera drones with my goggles. Looking at a screen in the sunlight sucks. Thanks for all the great reviews you do.
@@dronecamps : Same here. After all the buzz about updates etc... I fly both and... I enjoy flying the Zino more than the X8 SE. Its not as refined, its not as fast, its not as precise... but it just more fun!
@@BassManStrikes : The Zino is just easier to get up flying. It has issues but once above 5m or so its simple piloting skills. Its hard to explain but the Zino is just more fun. Maybe because its less expensive and seems more durable? The Drop is stil there but not excessive. It is what it is... mainly because of having no downward sensors.
Now that the Mavic mini is out with similar flight time, much cheaper batteries, and easier access to repair services. It is time for a big price drop for the X8 to stay competitive
agree with what you're saying with the modes. On my mavic I only ever used tripod mode and maybe 1 time cinematic mode (which had a slower brake time so I didn't use it).
@@dronecamps I ordered mine on Feb 28th and still nothing, contacted them and they said I would have to change warehouse to gwtr and would have to pay duties and tariffs, so I have no idea what's up with banggood...
hi! I also ordered a FIMI of course did not arrive as need to wait a lot. What I don't like is that it is focused to close range and has blurry haze image with lots of light blue tints :( Not sure how to solve it, I hope postproces would help or refocusing the lens somehow, but that needs opening the lens case and screw in the lens by its thread a bit.... will se if I can do it when it arrives.

If you decide to change the focus, I hope you make a video about it. I'd be interested to learn if it helps. I just subscribed to your channel in case you post a video about it.
@@ddegn my FIMI still not arrived so cannot start modding it :( I cannot put video to my channel to this user as already full no more video space and I put on mostly unlisted videos as drone hobby is illegal.
@@fotoamgamgfoto3695 It stinks that your drone hobby is illegal. I didn't think there was a space limit on RUclips. Is this limit related to the country you live in? I've never worried about a limit myself and I couldn't find any information on the topic.
@@ddegn in this country it is almost impossible to do it legally, I mean drone flying, you need to ask for airspace more than 30 days before takoff and pay etc.. (unless you want to fly at a specific flight club already renting airspace but no video topics there just the grass) my YT account has maxed out the number of videos years ago and cannot upload more, but I made other accounts of course ;)
Nice video something you said at the very end is something I was going to write here my only concern is I don't really want to spend $400 on a drone that's coming from China store I wish I could walk into Best Buy and purchase this because I would. I just don't want to have to deal with any problems if it's coming from far away if you know what I mean.
@Lee Lucescu I don't argue with that what doesn't come from China. But what I'm talkin about is when I ordered from places like gearbest before with cheaper drones sometimes they don't always arrive in very good shape! I hate to pay top dollar for a expensive drone and have it have problems as soon as it arrives. For expensive products I would rather walk into my local store and purchase it there.
You say it has no smart modes , but reading the specs on Banggood it says it has them Rocket , Spiral poi follow etc , and waypoint planning , so who is right ?
uptowndisco2 flight modes are gimics anyways, don’t buy a drone based on flight modes. Camera quality, gimbal, gps, control distance, safety, reliability, build quality and is it easy to get into the air?
@@DadRandom thanks for the reply , I won't be buying as I have far too many as it is , not enough days in the week to give them all fair air time lol I was just curious with this being so cheap . any way subscribed to your channel , looks interesting :-)
I'm probably going to get this but did you notice the horizon isn't level? it tilts to the left it was mentioned in another video. Hopefully can be fixed with a FW update?
except for the price you save a ton of money. is the sensors worth an extra $400? The whole point of a cheap drone is to save money... considering its closer to the dji spark price point i'd say its killing it.
@@saiyan_princestudios9790 A drone meant for filming good footage should have object avoidance. It absolutely is worth 400 dollars. This drone is a little less of a loss if you crash it though. But hey that's what insurance is for. I say buy a GOOD drone, or end up buying twice later on. Even as a starter drone, I would pick the Mavic.
The mi company is putting out some cool affordable quads i have them all and im totally satisfied with all their quads they are my knew quad company ive been buying them since they had that mishap that they listen to us and bounce back with the 4k mi quad ive been a fan. They get my money now i got enough of dji quads they've gotten enough of my hard earned money over the years i dont need any more,the ones i have soot every one if my. flying and filmingneeds, i dont have to have every latest ones. Theycome out with.and yes they make the best quads they are just to fucking expensive for the average working persons and they dont need to beel that fucking high but never the less ilove all the ones i have. They have been solid and very reliable quads. Over the time ive purchased them no problems at all after many hours and hours of flying them in all type of flying conditions.all of them are still flying like champs but its nice to have good QUALITY other quads to ,without having to break the old bank account.

FotoAmg AmgFoto these drones need a shipper to make the time to fly, faster. A problem is wait time. Drone pilots are not patient
If you decide to change the focus, I hope you make a video about it. I'd be interested to learn if it helps.
I just subscribed to your channel in case you post a video about it.
@@ddegn my FIMI still not arrived so cannot start modding it :( I cannot put video to my channel to this user as already full no more video space and I put on mostly unlisted videos as drone hobby is illegal.
@@fotoamgamgfoto3695 It stinks that your drone hobby is illegal.
I didn't think there was a space limit on RUclips. Is this limit related to the country you live in? I've never worried about a limit myself and I couldn't find any information on the topic.
@@ddegn in this country it is almost impossible to do it legally, I mean drone flying, you need to ask for airspace more than 30 days before takoff and pay etc.. (unless you want to fly at a specific flight club already renting airspace but no video topics there just the grass) my YT account has maxed out the number of videos years ago and cannot upload more, but I made other accounts of course ;)
Nice video something you said at the very end is something I was going to write here my only concern is I don't really want to spend $400 on a drone that's coming from China store I wish I could walk into Best Buy and purchase this because I would. I just don't want to have to deal with any problems if it's coming from far away if you know what I mean.
@Lee Lucescu I don't argue with that what doesn't come from China. But what I'm talkin about is when I ordered from places like gearbest before with cheaper drones sometimes they don't always arrive in very good shape! I hate to pay top dollar for a expensive drone and have it have problems as soon as it arrives. For expensive products I would rather walk into my local store and purchase it there.
I love fimi x8
Awesome video and info 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where is cheapest place to buy this now (October 2nd, 2019)? Also, are there any coupon codes or other offers to help me lower the price. Thanks!
James Gerken gearbest
Excellent review.
Nice comparison Justin 🤘
You say it has no smart modes , but reading the specs on Banggood it says it has them Rocket , Spiral poi follow etc , and waypoint planning , so who is right ?
No I said it has less Smart modes than the Mavic.
uptowndisco2 flight modes are gimics anyways, don’t buy a drone based on flight modes. Camera quality, gimbal, gps, control distance, safety, reliability, build quality and is it easy to get into the air?
@@DadRandom thanks for the reply , I won't be buying as I have far too many as it is , not enough days in the week to give them all fair air time lol I was just curious with this being so cheap . any way subscribed to your channel , looks interesting :-)
How about charging time???
60mins
I'm probably going to get this but did you notice the horizon isn't level? it tilts to the left it was mentioned in another video. Hopefully can be fixed with a FW update?
There’s a gimbal calibration in the app.
@@dronecamps Oh okay
The 1080p version shows that it does fpv. But it looks like the remote is the signal. I wonder what the lag time is?
Just bought mine for $399 with coupon from banggood. Can't wait until it get it.
which coupon did you use ? I want to buy it also :)
I get about 4 to 5 flights with the mavic pro remote
It would be nice to know what you get in the box besides what you revealed. Other wise, thank you for the presentation.
Where is video from Mavic pro for comparison quality???
Great review! The fimi is definitely good value! 👍
Eva Guerin hi Eva. 🤙🏻 this drone better than your P4?
Dad Random Almost... 😉👍
Bro mi 4k v/s fimi x8 se footage pls.....
Saimon Sumalatha I might have to agree
Nice review bro...
Coupon has expired. Do you have a new one?

A imagem do Fimi X8 SE , para mim é muito melhor que a do Mavic!!
Xiaomi has not yet caught up with DJI because of the number of obstacle sensors and the image clarity
Btw, the release of YI Erida is too late
Yi erida = vaporware
except for the price you save a ton of money. is the sensors worth an extra $400? The whole point of a cheap drone is to save money... considering its closer to the dji spark price point i'd say its killing it.
@@saiyan_princestudios9790 A drone meant for filming good footage should have object avoidance. It absolutely is worth 400 dollars. This drone is a little less of a loss if you crash it though. But hey that's what insurance is for. I say buy a GOOD drone, or end up buying twice later on. Even as a starter drone, I would pick the Mavic.
Good content, work on your color grading, blue hues are killing the quality
That’s the camera. Some say the new update fixes it.
The mi company is putting out some cool affordable quads i have them all and im totally satisfied with all their quads they are my knew quad company ive been buying them since they had that mishap that they listen to us and bounce back with the 4k mi quad ive been a fan. They get my money now i got enough of dji quads they've gotten enough of my hard earned money over the years i dont need any more,the ones i have soot every one if my. flying and filmingneeds, i dont have to have every latest ones. Theycome out with.and yes they make the best quads they are just to fucking expensive for the average working persons and they dont need to beel that fucking high but never the less ilove all the ones i have. They have been solid and very reliable quads. Over the time ive purchased them no problems at all after many hours and hours of flying them in all type of flying conditions.all of them are still flying like champs but its nice to have good QUALITY other quads to ,without having to break the old bank account.
Great Video!
Thanks for the code!
descompesate horizon angle in fimi x8 video.good job pilot.
Any similar sub 250g models? :)
No
Can I buy x8 in uk thanks
FIMI targeting for consumers who want to have Mavic Pro but don't have enough money to buy it ... fair enough..hehehe ...
The Sport Mode is inside the Fimi Navi apps.
Yep, mentioned in the video. 👍🏻
How does this compare with the new xino? It’s also a 4K drone and at $399 it’s at the sparks price point.
n/m just saw your comparision video... looks like the fimi wins :)
12:18 horizon level problem?
Gimbal calibration needed before you start flying that's all.
@@mrgreen8887 but when taking off everything is fine and gimbal loosing lever later. In the air. Every time different angle
@@mikikris1 If I'm correct I recently viewed a video showing a software update to fix that on RUclips
@@mrgreen8887 thanks. Hopefully.
elCactus KR was it fix?
FIMI SE the best budget so far....
GOOD PRODUCT
Horizon tilt issue at the end like other FImi’s have it seems
Gimbal calibration needed before flying that's all 👈
Great Vid! But what is the title of intro music ?? hehe thanks
