Some old mobile phones are not powerful enough to software decoding the live preview stream, so they offer the hardware decoder option with GPU(which may have some compatible issue for different chips, so it's suitable for users to choose better decoding option).
Con todas esas actualizaciones, parecería que FIMI quiere tener un dron competitivo versus DJI y otras marcas. Gracias por tus videos. Muy informativos.✔👌🏆
I still don't understand how to use flight records -- but what do you advise to do screen recording? Having made some videos of the very same flight route in the same conditions I was surprised to see that h264 and HEVC videos of the same resolution and same qualitiy are the same size. H264 and HEVC results is the very same size videos... Howcome???
Most phones and tablets have a built in screen recorder (swipe up or down). I use a 3rd party one called "Due-Recorder" (a very early version - its on the TX10 Controller FB group files) The Flight records show all your flights and can be played back like a video. I will make a short video on it soon if you like. As for H264/h265.. I cant explain it. It is supposed to be about 30% more compression or even more. 🤷♂
@@GorillamansGarage Thanks! I've never recorded my screen content. :) But now I've made just a pair of H264/H265 clip. The same 30 sec circle and H265 is marginally LARGER... (4K@30, High - H264: 11,3 MB/s, HEVC: 11,4 MB/s). Weird...
Hi Joe, thank you for the info. I just purchased the drone and drives well, but I did notice that when I downloaded my videos and images through the app quality was reduced to 720p. Is that normal?
Yes.. when you download from the drone while turned on to the App you are getting the cached version (LVR). Your phone (device) will not download the full GB versions. You have to take out the sd card and read it/
Truthfully... I dont take many photos. I get stills from video. I found any photos from Fimi drones not to be the greatest. They look good... just not great. I will be taking the FM3 up again tomorrow so I will remember to take a bunch of 48's.
@@GorillamansGarage Thank you for your quick response. Let's be honest, I didn't expect miracles from this drone, but there is no tragedy. I discovered this inconvenience by accident, because I prefer 16:9 photos. I suspect that the processor cannot handle processing photos in higher resolutions due to quad-bayer. Generally, I am very happy with this drone, the only thing that annoys me to the max is quick shots in full hd.
After this update, my drone only works at photo mode function!! When I switch to video mode, the app crash... the last camera's image still freeze and dont update the fpv anymore.. and then, i try to return to photo mode and still crash and freeze the last image.. This last firmware limite my drone to a camera photomode!!! I made contact with FIMI and then they return with the last firmware add on email and all the steps to do. I try but uncessfull, nothing work and my drone keep without work in video mode!! I send another email ask for my Warranty, and they do not return at all.... still waiting!!!
@@martinsimoveisbertioga : The onloy other thing I can think of is the cable. I tried the new cable that came with the craft on the new V2 I got and it kept freezing up the App.. I went back to an old cable I had.. and it worked?? Other than that.. I'm out of ideas for now. You say you have done the re-fresh sd card bios update method... and there was no crash and it only happened after an update??? I'm puzzled.
@@GorillamansGarage I try all alternatives and nothing works... but yesterday, FIMI send me a private message delivery an update with the app, and now everything works super well again!!! Man, i was a sad guy, but now i'm happy again!!! Cheers, from Brazil! Thank you a lot!
Ya customer service ..!! Hou can help you Jo ? Yu gotta probrem with da fimi ? Yu don't like yu don't want ! Sorri I can't help you if you don't like if you don't want .. Rimmi from fimi ..by joe
Thanks for all the hard work in keeping us all updated.😀
Well Well! Always trying to make that little baby perfect. Thanks for the update. Keep on flying my friend. Fall changes are coming. Keep safe.
As long a Fimi sticks with the same transmission protocols (some weird encrypted frequency) this little beauty will fail in any kind of range test.
@GorillamansGarage you're rite
Some old mobile phones are not powerful enough to software decoding the live preview stream, so they offer the hardware decoder option with GPU(which may have some compatible issue for different chips, so it's suitable for users to choose better decoding option).
I'm still trying to get the infor direct from Fimi. So far all I got is.. "If your video transmission looks OK.. leave it on software". 😱

Yeah mine says mini 4 pro when powered on and now it's got 45 min flight time ???!!!😅
And obstacle avoidance all out of nowhere

Hello. Do your enlarged 48mpx photos also look like they were painted with watercolor paints?

@@piorym8034 : I agree and their template creations are only 14 seconds long in 1080p.. complete waste of time.
Did they send you the fimi mini 3 se yet to review?
No... Paid for by our Donations after the Poll I put up 2 weeks ago.
Its normal when i download videos from my mini 3 from the app that the videos look in lower quality?
Yes... downloads from drone to App (phone/device) are just LRV (cache files). You only get the full res video files direct from sd card to computer.

@@martinsimoveisbertioga start by uninstalling the app. Turn phone off. Restart. Download new App and install.
@@GorillamansGarage I try this, with another phone, and the same problem continue!!

So both have a 4g module but neither drobes module is available right now?
Correct. I have asked to buy one a.s.a.p. for testing so we shall see.
After I updated my drone. It doesn't go more than 300 meters. Drone loses signal.
I thought it was a little off as well. I will do some more testing.. Thanks.
Anything new for version 2 or is it already abandoned?
I just flew mine at home, and no updates available. Im gonna say Abandoned like a set of morals at the entrance to Congress...
The App updates are for both but nothing for the craft yet. But I still like that 1/2.5 camera as well.
