I just bought this and it's on its way to me. It was a gift to myself and it's the first thing gift I've bought for myself in years. This video makes me really excited and happy I decided to spend more to get something that's fun to use
Yeah I did the same and the gimbal stopped working after less than 15 flights. Fimi refused to help with support. A very expensive paper weight this is...
I watch a lot of demo / review videos and I have to say, Capt. Drone yours are the most concise no BS straight to the point videos out there. Keep up the great work. I have made several buying decisiopns based off the information you provide, and I have not one regret. Thank you.
Just received this drone from Banggood. Ordered on 17/8 then received on 27/8. Test flight, took some pictures and videos. The result is very impressive and mesmerizing.
Well well well Captain!; another " Back to the Drone Future" reply !!!; I just purchased (today 26th Feb 2023) a Fimi X8 SE 2020 !!; your original review was accurate and spot on !!; great Drone (I paid $270 AUD) cant believe the Video / Camera quality; reminds me of the Inspire 1 Z3 Zenmuse camera colour profile !!!!
Just picked this up. Wow compared to the budget drones I was use to this is great. I know this is not an expensive drone, but I was at $300 and less. Mine came with all the current updates. THANK YOU for all the valuable videos. Happy & HEALTHY 2021
Hello, I got my Fimi X8 SE 2020 from Banggood at the preorder price of $358. When it arrived the box was really mangled but thankfully everything inside was ok. I also had to buy a cord for the charger because they didn't send and adapter. Having said all that, this is my first drone ever and I have no problems flying it - other than finding a place to fly, LOL. Thanks for your preview on the original Fimi X8, which enabled me to pull the trigger on this one without hesitation.
FYI - I bought an adaptor at Ace Hardware for about $2 plus change. the website said they had some on hand, It took awhile for the associate to locate them. We found them up front near the registers of the store. Also if you have a Sony electronic unit (tv, PS3, etc), you don't use (that often), the power cord works with is charger also.
I have the mini and 2020 and I love both. They fixed so many things within the last year with many updates so what should I say, almost everything works perfect now. No need to buy any other drone, regarding my needs. Thanks for this nice clip, it was the clip which helped me to decide which drone to by a year ago. 👍
I got this drone and Im really impressed whit it, the RAW footage is incredible, you can get tons of details in dark and white areas, and the video is really amazing, a lot more than you can see in youtube videos
Warning, ordering from banggood takes a long time to the USA. I picked 10-15 day air and it took 2 months to receive my Bugs 4W 4K. First they couldn’t find it, then it sat in USA customs for 3 weeks
new type of communication system between drone and controller. They added H265 video compression. You can now use upto a 256 Gig sd card. They added satillite aquisition of the BEIDUO system. And you can put have this drone for under $400 US dollars. This is an update to the previous one, and assume there will be a new version of this within 6 months. But this is a nice drone
This was my first drone purchase. Bought this drone based almost entirely on your review and I couldn’t be happier! I won’t buy another drone until I have you opinion on it. Thanks again!
This is my next drone to upgrade to after I receive the one just purchased. But if they have a good boxing day price, I may not be able to wait. This drone is so sweet
Man I love the looks of that drone. I would love to be able to afford it now but still trying to save enough to get it. Your review is awesome, as always. I'm so hooked on eventually getting this thing.
This drone just arrived at my house today! I got about 15 minutes of flying before it got dark. The little booklet was very vague about turning the drone off and on. I ended up looking at the instructions on line to figure how to turn it on. It's my first drone, and I enjoy the flying so far.
Good price for what you get for you money.. A little bit of over exposure, then some colours like the blue looks dark but nothing really too drastic!! The photos look good 👍
You got me hooked dude!!! I bought a beginner drone you reviewed in June as well as a action camera replacement. Now after 20 hours of flight, I’m ready to upgrade to a much more functional drone. I’ve got analysis paralysis. Thank you for your videos....
Love and enjoyed the video Sir. I just received mines yesterday and i am very happy with it. I have been waiting since 04/24/2020 to get it and is finally here. Thanks so much for sharing this great video with us. Much love and respect Sir. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Thanks Captain brilliant review as always I have sold my DJI Mini 1 and purchased the Fimi 2020 for me this seems a lot better drone hopefully stronger in a light wind and better range also got it for a good price from Banggood less then £300 delivered.
HI, thanks Steve for your review. I received mine last week and had the opportunity to fly it both in the country and in a subburb setting. I like flying long distances and for those interested i noticed that the number of WIFI networks around this drone or around the controler does impact the connection and the distance you can go. For instance, if you cross a river you will not have issue over the water even after 2 Km but arriving on the other shore you need to be sufficiently high to avoid interferences from the houses WIFIs otherwise it will disconnect and start the Return to Home. As for the drone itself it is a very good one, i do have the same horizon issues that many mentioned but I assume a future firmware upgrade will solve it.
Glad you are enjoying it. The horizon issue seems to be the same as when the ZINO 2 launched (full of horizon issues). The drones in the second batch of manufacturing didn't have it for the ZINO 2 and FIMI X8 SE 2020. I ordered mine last week from B&H in the USA (they just received their batch which I'm assuming is batch 2). So far no issues.
"Value for money", the Fimi X8 is up there with the best of the best. So much fun to fly and super responsive on the controls. An extremely capable drone and is an excellent alternative to DJI drones. And NO geofencing/NFZ's.
Any idea how it reacts to other drones in the sky, interference-wise? I was just flying my hubsan zino around with a bunch of folks with their dji drones, and I was losing signal like crazy.
@@captainverde1581 DJI uses both 2.4htz & 5htz, whereas the Hubsan/Fimi uses 2.4htz. So in high WiFi interference areas you will get loss of signal & RTH. The Hubsan/Fimi is not as good as DJI for range, but most of the time will work ok within VLOS.
I got mines from Amazon took 2 days to arrive July 10. Was very surprised of how powerful this Drone is. Wow. You just tap the joy stick and this thing takes off.. only problem i saw was 4k 30 has a little lag. I had a regular Sd card in it.. so i just put a 4k memory card in it. I will fly it tomorrow.. and see if theirs any different in video. I also own the mavic mini.. has very good 2.7 video recording. But not many features as the fimi x8 se 2020 i just checked back on Amazon and they was out of stock.. glad i got mines. 😉
There's a park quite a distance from where i live. couple time I'd try to make the mavic mini go to the park.. then i would lose my signal.. I've finally made it to the park. When i put on range extender. But when i first got the fimi x8 se 2020. First thing i did was send it to the park stock. Had no problem. Was unbelievable happy when i saw the. I could imagine how far i can take out with range extender.. will try soon..
@@tyler1988 I'm sure you've found out but the connection is between the drone and the controller, not the drone to whatever you are running the app on hence the greater distance achieved and also why you don't need 802.11ac capability
Never flown a drone yet, still watching your videos for knowledge. Can you please tell me if I have to have a brought landing pad or can I make my own?.
I’ve ordered mine coming from Estonia 🇪🇪 to UK 🇬🇧, apparently this Ebay seller with 100% feedback, has lots of stock . Everyone happy to purchase from him, as does DPD post within a week. Can’t wait to get my hands on this amazing drone. Don’t forget to get operattor ID and the test from UK aviation authority. 👍🏻
beardedchimp yes the seller id is: mediasatbox Based in Estonia but you feel he is very responsible, I received mine and had a flight with it, it’s really best drone to own, also if you need help you don’t need to send or receive anything from china, this guy makes you feel you buy from Engy. I’m really happy after returning 3 drones back from different sellers.
Hi Steve I really like and enjoy your reviews. Does the Fimi X8 SE 2020 have a restrictions NFZ like DJI drones? Any news from Zero Zero Robotics and the V-Coptr? Regards
The problem I have with mine is returning to home very quickly. It doesn't get more than about 1000ft away before it returns. I need to increase the antenna range.
Nice detailed review. This is a pretty impressive drone for the money. It’s quite a complex drone, lots of features and lots to consider when setting up. 👍
I got my FIMI X8 SE 2020 and is working good, I was wondering if pictures and movies can be down loaded directly from the drone by plugging in USB cable to drone, and other end to computer. I got mine through the Banggood US warehouse pre-order buy for $399. I have found if you can get things from the US warehouse they come in about a week and no damages like we see from the China warehouse.
Just bought this to add to my 2 exisiting dji drones. I love it. also love the size and weight,.....makes it more exciting than flying my mavic and miavic mini. Great content!!
Hey Steve, I hope your doing well in this difficult time. I’m from Indiana and I am new to drones and rc. I have never owned or operated one before. I’ve just recently lost the use of the legs and as you can imagine it’s very lonely and frustrating. I have been very discouraged as Theres not much I can find to keep me busy. Upon discovering your channel I’ve become very fond of your videos. Keep up the good work! I don’t have a lot of money right now but would love to be able to explore where my wheel chair won’t go. What would you recommend for around 125 dollars? Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care!
Ordered mine April 16Th. Was supposed to ship may 29th. It’s July 4th and Banggood hasn’t shipped yet. Sadness overwhelms me. But loved your review. Thanks much.
Ha ha Fimi has given your fair skin a tan. 😅 Monkey head is a robot 🤖 There is no fan In the 2020 model probably more efficient electronics there have been no over heat problems.
Question: in the video for the landing a special pad is used with a white circle. Later in the video when the content of the box is shown, there is no such pad visible. Is this pad an extra accessory? 2nd question: if I use this pad on a moving platform (e.g. a boat) will the drone find the new landing position when I press the return home button?
The PAD is an accessory. Landing on a boat is a skill and beginners should never attempt it. To have a drone return to you on a boat you have to set the home point to where the controller is. On DJI Drones they call this DYNAMIC HOME POINT and other drones use different names.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the quick reply. Does the FIMI X8 SE 2020 drone have such a "dynamic home point" function? If yes, it would be my favorite. Thanks, Köbi
I've had mine for 2 weeks now. First drone. Its been awesome. Probably sold 3-5 more from friends and coworkers after they've seen it fly and the video. Question I have. Record time is limited to 5 minutes default. Can this be changed?
I can’t decide whether to go with DJI mini, or Fimi? I like the grams of the mini and how you can throw it in a backpack. But I like the follow me and sensors on the Fimi. Both selling at $500. In your opinion, and experience, which would you go with? Thank you. And thanks for your expertise
I always enjoy your drone video presentations. They are so very detailed and informative. Thank you so much for sharing ! Tbh I really consider to purchase the FIMI as the video quality, features and flying conditions are just fabulous for this drone price. Thanks again and stay safe Captain Drone !!!
Are you good at math? One of the two drones you mentioned is under 250 grams and has limited features. If you need a drone under 250 grams, then there is your answer.
Excellent video Captain, do you know how to take the video from the drone? I did it but it downloaded with low quality, so I take the SD card out and put it in my computer to get the high quality video. is there an other way?
Captain Drone I got this exact drone and it has worked for several years. Without any reason the app won't connect with my drone. Tried updating, reseting drone, reconfiguring the drone connection. Nothing works. Any ideas much appreciated.
Hi I love all your reviews. I have just purchased the Fimi x8 se 2020, what i would like to know is. Can i add an external monitor to the controller ? I.E. mirror the image from the phone in the controller.. Thx John from Australia.
I don't think so because in order to do that you'd have to have something in the controller that sends the video out to a monitor, or have your phone send a mirror image out to a tablet.
I would not bother. Tri-Blades are for drones that have to corner quickly, such as FPV drones. Camera drones like this are all designed to fly in a straight line at moderate speeds. In summary, tri-blades are for the FPV Drone hobby.
I've had my my X8 for about a year now and though it's taken a backseat to the Air 2 I still use it frequently. The support for the drone is quite nice. But for the price it can't be beat.
Hi buddy, I have had one of these for about 2 months and I love it, the one small problem I have is yaw overrun, when I let go of the yaw control stick, the drone continues to yaw for a second, can get a bit annoying. Love your videos. many thanks. Ron from Oz
I believe they do that to help the gimbal on the camera (smooth slow down in the turn). Only option is slow turns. The zino had that problem to but then the software was updated so that the user could adjust the Yaw speed.
does this drone need the whole figure 8 round and round GPS calibrate bollocks like the xiaomi MI drone 4k did that never calibrated after you did it 20x over? don't think dji ever needs this stuff. let me know wouldn't mind one of these. thanks for your time.
Are you talking about the drone calibration? If you live above the equator, then you really don't have to calibrate the drone ever unless it tells you to do so. Most experienced pilots only calibrate it the day they took it out of the box and never again.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 OK that's good to hear the Xiaomi MI drone 4k wanted you to do it ever flight. then it wouldn't calibrate so you had to do it over and over again like a donkey.thanks for your help appreciate the reply.
Is F-log a less saturated colour mode? If so, i would definitely shoot it in that mode and colour grade myself because i think it's abit over saturated? Although this may be the look some will want as it comes down to a preference thing. Otherwise, this drone looks so so amazing. Can't really fault it
Thanks for the videos. I'm looking at this drone and the DJI Mini. Is the Fimi a better drone? I know it's a bit more money for the Fimi but is the DJI a better drone?
I missed whether this is a wifi communication system or something better like DJI Occusync? (I currently fly a wifi HS 720E and seem to loose contact between 500 and 900 feet.)
Great video review thank you! I am now torn because I was thinking to save up for the Magic Air 2 but it doesn't have way points which I need. Should I just pick this up bc I don't need obstacle avoidance, or should I keep saving bc DJI may add way points to the Magic Air 2? Do you think they will?
I just bought this and it's on its way to me. It was a gift to myself and it's the first thing gift I've bought for myself in years. This video makes me really excited and happy I decided to spend more to get something that's fun to use
It's a really great drone, so how are you liking yours so far?
@@Roboticdoughbull3k well, it flew away unforunately. I got a DJI instead

HI, thanks Steve for your review. I received mine last week and had the opportunity to fly it both in the country and in a subburb setting.

Ordered mine April 16Th. Was supposed to ship may 29th. It’s July 4th and Banggood hasn’t shipped yet. Sadness overwhelms me. But loved your review. Thanks much.
Ha ha Fimi has given your fair skin a tan. 😅 Monkey head is a robot 🤖
There is no fan In the 2020 model probably more efficient electronics there have been no over heat problems.
Nice drone if you wish to upgrade I hope it's easy to get extra parts.... Batt ect. Can you use fpv with this drone if so which one at low cost?
Any interest in me doing a live stream chatting about anything but mostly r/c cars, crawlers, trucks, planes, drones and helis
Should I get this or the dji mini 2?
Sth wrong with color saturation. Red and blue looks weird, blue even more...
Question: in the video for the landing a special pad is used with a white circle. Later in the video when the content of the box is shown, there is no such pad visible. Is this pad an extra accessory?
2nd question: if I use this pad on a moving platform (e.g. a boat) will the drone find the new landing position when I press the return home button?
The PAD is an accessory. Landing on a boat is a skill and beginners should never attempt it. To have a drone return to you on a boat you have to set the home point to where the controller is. On DJI Drones they call this DYNAMIC HOME POINT and other drones use different names.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the quick reply. Does the FIMI X8 SE 2020 drone have such a "dynamic home point" function? If yes, it would be my favorite. Thanks, Köbi
Spend the extra money and just buy a DJI.
The mavic air 2 has twice the price but you dont get twice features, for more of the topics you get very close or the same quality
I think zino 2 is better than fimi x8 2020...what do you think??
Good day sir..,sir how camera it is good quality?
Other than range is there any difference in this and the older version at all? camera/video quality wise?
The video mentions the improvements over the previous model and that is pretty much it.
Great review again. Max info in minimal time. One more question please. Is the new evo about 3 times quieter than this drone?
No, not that much quieter.
Is this the best at that price range? Is there a better one? Thank you
I've had mine for 2 weeks now. First drone. Its been awesome. Probably sold 3-5 more from friends and coworkers after they've seen it fly and the video. Question I have. Record time is limited to 5 minutes default. Can this be changed?
Record time is unlimited and based on the size of your micro SD card.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I have a 64gb U3. It continues recording but does 5 minute segments

alex cortinas Yes, very common.
That was a very very detailed review with all the intelligent features.
Very nice job with this review, and the edits are top notch as always!
Much appreciated!
I can’t decide whether to go with DJI mini, or Fimi? I like the grams of the mini and how you can throw it in a backpack. But I like the follow me and sensors on the Fimi. Both selling at $500. In your opinion, and experience, which would you go with? Thank you. And thanks for your expertise
Is it true that the cooling fan was removed in the fimi x8 se 2020 due to its low weight? Can you check if he buzzes?
Some say it has been removed.
I always enjoy your drone video presentations. They are so very detailed and informative. Thank you so much for sharing ! Tbh I really consider to purchase the FIMI as the video quality, features and flying conditions are just fabulous for this drone price. Thanks again and stay safe Captain Drone !!!
i so confused between fimi x8 4k and dji mini 2. .... what do you choose ?? with the best cam, sensor
Are you good at math? One of the two drones you mentioned is under 250 grams and has limited features. If you need a drone under 250 grams, then there is your answer.
the C fly taith 2 is almost the same price as the Fimi X8 SE 2020. is the faith 2 worth the price and is it as good as the Fimi?
thank you but we want a test comparison of fimi and phantom 4 pro
Excellent video Captain, do you know how to take the video from the drone? I did it but it downloaded with low quality, so I take the SD card out and put it in my computer to get the high quality video. is there an other way?
That is how I do it... Take the card out of the drone and into my computer.
Been waiting since May for mine. Just found out it should ship in 24 hours. I am excited! Great review as always Cap!
Is it better than dji mini1?
Been watching your videos.
Your reviews are the best!
I know that each one has its purpose. But what do you prefer taken videos or photos. Just curious. Thanks 😊
Videos with drones. Photos with still cameras.
Captain Drone I got this exact drone and it has worked for several years. Without any reason the app won't connect with my drone. Tried updating, reseting drone, reconfiguring the drone connection. Nothing works. Any ideas much appreciated.
The app connects to the remote so replace the cable. Also, These old models have a switch on the drone to turn wifi on/off, check yours.
Hi
I love all your reviews. I have just purchased the Fimi x8 se 2020, what i would like to know is. Can i add an external monitor to the controller ? I.E. mirror the image from the phone in the controller.. Thx John from Australia.
I don't think so because in order to do that you'd have to have something in the controller that sends the video out to a monitor, or have your phone send a mirror image out to a tablet.
Is ZINO pro plus better than Fimi X8 se 2020 ? I confuse choosing
You mean ZINO 2 PLUS... that is the one that is better.
Can you zoom in with camera while flying?? Thanks
Not in the way you are thinking.
can one use tri-blades on this drone ? If so what are the pros and cons
I would not bother. Tri-Blades are for drones that have to corner quickly, such as FPV drones. Camera drones like this are all designed to fly in a straight line at moderate speeds. In summary, tri-blades are for the FPV Drone hobby.
I've had my my X8 for about a year now and though it's taken a backseat to the Air 2 I still use it frequently. The support for the drone is quite nice. But for the price it can't be beat.
did you buy the 2020 fimi or the previous generation one?
@@s1dew1nd3r4 original
Hi buddy, I have had one of these for about 2 months and I love it, the one small problem I have is yaw overrun, when I let go of the yaw control stick, the drone continues to yaw for a second, can get a bit annoying. Love your videos. many thanks. Ron from Oz
I believe they do that to help the gimbal on the camera (smooth slow down in the turn). Only option is slow turns. The zino had that problem to but then the software was updated so that the user could adjust the Yaw speed.
i bought the previous version. Will it be a good idea to upgrade to this 2020 version?
Only if you find the version you have does not fly as far as you'd like
Great review again Skipper.
Chris
does this drone need the whole figure 8 round and round GPS calibrate bollocks like the xiaomi MI drone 4k did that never calibrated after you did it 20x over? don't think dji ever needs this stuff. let me know wouldn't mind one of these. thanks for your time.
Are you talking about the drone calibration? If you live above the equator, then you really don't have to calibrate the drone ever unless it tells you to do so. Most experienced pilots only calibrate it the day they took it out of the box and never again.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 OK that's good to hear the Xiaomi MI drone 4k wanted you to do it ever flight. then it wouldn't calibrate so you had to do it over and over again like a donkey.thanks for your help appreciate the reply.
Which would you recommend? This or the DJI mini 2? I own a DJI mini now.
What would you buy Fimi x8 se 2020 or Hubsan zino 2 +?
Is F-log a less saturated colour mode? If so, i would definitely shoot it in that mode and colour grade myself because i think it's abit over saturated? Although this may be the look some will want as it comes down to a preference thing. Otherwise, this drone looks so so amazing. Can't really fault it
Yes, pretty much anything LOG will be a flat profile ready for color correction in post production.
Thanks for the videos. I'm looking at this drone and the DJI Mini. Is the Fimi a better drone? I know it's a bit more money for the Fimi but is the DJI a better drone?
Do you require a drone under 250 grams? If so, that makes your decision very easy.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Not necessarily. a heavier drone just means I need to register it.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I went ahead and got the Fimi. Thanks
I missed whether this is a wifi communication system or something better like DJI Occusync? (I currently fly a wifi HS 720E and seem to loose contact between 500 and 900 feet.)
Enhanced wifi
Great video review thank you! I am now torn because I was thinking to save up for the Magic Air 2 but it doesn't have way points which I need. Should I just pick this up bc I don't need obstacle avoidance, or should I keep saving bc DJI may add way points to the Magic Air 2? Do you think they will?
Nope, I don't believe the MA2 will get waypoints due to the Price and competition with the Mavic 2 series of drones.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Ah ok that's understandable makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
Sir camera is very clear on cellphone ?
