Great video to watch but no drone would have got back under these circumstances. 19m/s out and 6 m/s back you were flying into a strong wind on your return. This is pilot error and hope all pilots learn from this.
That appears really normal to me man....You were going almost 20m/s ( 72 km/h ) all the way to 5000 m !!You obviously had a back wind pushing it so on the way back it was a face wind....telemetry is very important to observe !
You are correct and I suspect that the drone knew that it will not be able to return to home and that is why the gimbal kept turning down so that you know where it land, if you just landed the drone when it told you so it would've been fine....sorry to say 100% pilot error.
There's nothing wrong with the battery indicator, you flew out with the wind and had to fly back against the wind! You didn't notice how fast you were going on the way out!
It's sad that you tell people not to buy this drone but the video clearly shows 100% pilot error. you had a tail wind away from you. I have 3 of these drones and all of them still fly great, I bought 3 for the price of 1 dji drone, they are great drones.
Merhaba birkaç gün önce kırsal dağlık bir alanda drone uçururken bağlantı kesildi.Bağlantı geri geldiğinde %17 şarj kalmıştı.Dronu yol kenarı bir yere indirip gidip kendim alayım dedim tekrar bağlantı gitti.Uçuş kayıtlarından son görüldüğü kordinata gidip aradım bulamadım.Dron bağlantı kesildikten sonra otomatik geri dönüş özelliği olduğu için biraz daha bana yaklaşmış olabilir mi yoksa son kordinat çevresinde mı aramak gerekir 2.6 kmlik bir mesafe söz konusu yerini kestiremiyorum.
Nice range test...I noticed you went out on the range test in sport mode but came back and only half the speed and that could be part of the problem... If you're outgoing speed was 18 and 19 m/s but on your return to home it was only 6 to 8 m per second 🤔
Yes, unfortunately we can not intervene to the speed in RTH mode, i could fly manually, but probably would lose the direction and would crash anyway. Better to keep it in a maximum distance of 5000 meters :)
That’s sad my friend but you made a terrible mistake, you flew with the same wind direction on the way out, and on the way back the headwind was too strong and drained the battery and drove the gimbal crazy. Just check your Atti information on the inferior left side of your screen record and the speeds of going and coming back. The past week I was just 600m from the home point with +30% battery when a crazy storm-like wind came and I almost lost my X8 mini because the overcharge caused by the wind drained the battery really quickly and the speed of coming back just descended to near 1 m/s ( I never sweated like that day lol) but luckily it landed at the homepoint with 4% battery
I dont agree dji would not give you such bad information he had nearly 66% battery left which was incorrect its fimi software that lead him in to confusion fimi should replace the drone and update firmware I don't think I've seen anyone on RUclips thats had so many problems with a drone my advice would to be spend a few pounds more and get the dji mini 2 that's a solid drone and trust me if the fell out the sky it would still be in good shape and probably fly again 😁
@ZaxRebull There was just a little wind actually and i should have turned it back in the first place when the gimbal went crazy at the BEGINING, it was obviously a warning that something was wrong. And actually Fimi has accepted that there was a problem about the battery, before this they have sent me message if i had any problem and i mentioned about the battery data as i already realized it before this flight, and they have sent a message again that they knew and fixed it with the new firmware and asked me to download the firmware update (I still have those messages saved as SS). Thus, this was the flight that i made after the latest firmware :( Also this gimbal problem appeared after the last update. Again, the area i made the flight always has low level wind or not at all, and i made more than 50 flights with different drones at the exact same point never had this issue with any other drones including dji minis, hubsan drones, eachine drones, fimi drones also with cheap gps drones. But you may be right, if just a strong wind came-up just for a few minutes in this windless area at the exact time that i used my drone, it was my bad luck:( One more detail; I always use UAV Forecast App before my flights even i knew there was no wind in this particular spot, i wish i had recorded and enclosed it to this video.
@@kurbelheld Thats because he was flying with Sport Mode, but you can not intervene RTH speed, drone deciding auto return speed on itself. On the other hand he could cancel the RTH and flew back with full speed, there was a chance to save it. Thus, this is not a drone which can go 8000 meters and come back as it is advertised. There will be always wind even @ 1 kph.
Super brave decision to test the 8km flight range. I think it supposed for image transmission range only. Also the gimbal failure maybe, because of the strong wind that strike to the drone face.
This is a great video to show mistakes and learn from, teaching what things can make you lose a drone. Always check how much power the drone is using. The X8SE app it with the "V" shaped power meter in the top middle. X8 Mini has the green/blue colored bar on top. Longer and more to the right indicates drone is using higher power levels. Its supposed to turn yellow, then red as the drone consume too much power. It didn't do this in your case- but it clearly was using more power returning into some seriously strong wind, compared to the 19 m/s you were getting on the way out. During range testing, you have time to study these effects. Its easy to criticize after the fact, easy to say: "you should have done this, or that". Suggestion: Perhaps try to MAKE THE DRONE LAND - while you mark the spot in your app in the future, No point trying to get it all the way home, when there is NO WAY it will make it.
did fimi replace your drone,i had an issue with my camera fogging up and they offered me a replacement plus a free pro battery and the drone was 10 days out of warranty.i never experienced the battery issues you had,i think the drone was well built but yes it does need some firmware updating still and the camera gimbal needs work as in cold weather you will experience some jello in the picture

Ich bat sie, es nach China zurückzugeben. Sie konnten also überprüfen, ob es meine Schuld ist oder nicht, sie haben nicht einmal akzeptiert, dass ich es auf meine Kosten schicken würde, sie haben einfach NICHT geantwortet! Weil sie neu waren, sie würden es ersetzen müssen. Ich nehme an, deshalb haben sie so getan, als würde ich nicht existieren :)
The firmware when it was first released. I was one of the first buyers. I assume they have already fix those issues. I did not use it after the crash so far. It is still in its box waiting to be fixed :)
What you probably could do was, disengage or cancel RTH when you think that its speed wont enough to get the drone back to you .. and switch to Sport Mode .. i disengaged RTH several times and it was fine..
I had the same problem if you typed the location number it gave off at landing in Google maps it will take you straight to the drone.Also i have learnt if you can't make it back try land it somewhere safe as i said above you will retrieve it in flight records.
I just bought one recently and tested it in front of my house and it did not last more than 15 mins, max max just testing it and staying close and not sup high, just over tree heights near me. yesterday I brought it to a park I don't know the winds were, but I only got 5 mins. flight time out of it. I did take it bit high over some tall trees and around me only, but once I took it past out of my site, but still not even a km away. probably only 500-600m away to see what's past those trees. I was getting the same messages as this guy to come back. etc. so even if he had strong winds, etc.. still is a serious issue with this drone and I will test it again today and if doesn't last 30 mins. just hovering in my front yard steady, I'm shipping it back to amazon and looking for advice for another for max $500 Canadian that actually works as it should. I do not have the pro battery
oh, not sure if this makes it worse or better, but I forgot the mini sd card so it was not recording while flying, only for my viewing.. I assume should have used less Bat. power
Will the Drone notify you if there any strong wind around your drone? If you not allowed to change speed while RTH (as you mentioned the drone is decided its RTH speed) then it is stupid manufacturer decision. I can see clearly the speed while RTH were too way slow. Another good points to not buy another Xiomi bugs products.
@@RcObsessive yes bro, here I am also a beginner and a fimi x8 mini user, of course every drone has characteristics. not all the same. In my opinion, by following the flight procedures and systems provided by Fimi X8 or others, chances are your drone is safe. Good luck for the future
