FIMI 8X SE vs FIMI X8 SE 2020 - VIDEO FOOTAGE COMPARISON - GIMBAL PROBLEM STILL HERE

  • Side by side comparison of FIMI X8SE vs FIMI X8 SE 2020 flight footage. Both are set to the same presets and can be adjusted obviously to add exposure which is often needed with the FIMI X8 SE or FIMI X8 SE 2018 if you prefer to call it that. FIMI X8 SE 2020 with ND filter will be more useful than the X8 SE 2018. FIMI X8 SE 2020 with CPL filter with some manual adjustments would have been my choice if trying to get better quality.
    With each video I get closer to the full review so coming up I have the X8 SE 2020 flight in 40mph to 45mph wind gusts that made for a interesting flight. So you will see the FIMI X8 SE 2020 in high wind.
    Following that will be my FIMI X8 SE 2020 range flight witch went further than I expected it to. The video after that will be my X8 SE 2020 review and why I think they made this sale booster model. Also, why some of you may not ever get one and I will talk about the same issues this X8 SE 2020 edition has that the original X8 SE has had and still has.
    With mine so far there is the X8 SE 2020 gimbal problem or gimbal tilt. The FIMI X8 SE 2020 gimbal calibration offers the same calibration as the FIMI X8 SE original edition but both calibrations never stick. This is very disappointing from a camera quad.
    These may just be issues I have but another issue you will see in this video is the over traveling FIMI X8 SE 2020 YAW problem, This was surprising to me and also a disappointment.
    We are buying a top 2020 drone in the under $500 drone category that has these nuisances that will effect you're end result. 4k drones or 4k quadcopters delivering good quality with tilted horizons and flight control quirks isn't what we should be seeing here.

      Thanks for the comparison Chris, doesn’t look like they have fixed the main issue with the gimbal and possibly created others.. so tempted to get MA2 right now but hearing there are problems with CE certification and Ads-b in Europe and the 48Mp is fake?. Is there any comparison with the Fimi and MA2 in your opinion?

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +2

      Kevin Pain Save and get the MA2 if it works for you. It will be so much nicer to fly and create with.

    • @kingkev83
      @kingkev83 4 года назад +1

      QC GUY thanks Chris. I think you are right and especially after Joshs flight not sure at all about the build quality of the remote. I have cancelled so sorry about the affiliate money as I used your link but i would be happy to donate to you directly somehow for your charity fund instead 👍🏻 going to go for the MA2. Do you think the fly more is worth the extra cost for what you get In Your opinion?

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +2

      Kevin Pain no worries on the affiliate links. I don’t like to have that based on someone sorry they made the purchase. I will never be a affiliate bitch like so many channels.
      I absolutely recommend the fly more. I usually tell people don’t unless you know your going to like it. You won’t go wrong with this Air 2.
      FYI... I have a affiliate link for that as well. 😂

    • @kingkev83
      @kingkev83 4 года назад +1

      QC GUY 🤣 thanks Chris. I Wouldn’t be donating because your an affiliate it would have been because of the great causes it goes towards. Thanks for the info on the fly more it certainly looks a great package, I would use you but I think I saw you said it only works in US? I’m in UK.. anyway hope you, your family and your mom are keeping ok. Keep doing your thing! It’s the best channel out there!

    Best side by side drone footage comparison I’ve ever seen. Route perfectly flown and editing perfectly synced. Please keep providing your meaningful content on non-Dji drones as there is little out there. Too many reviewers trampling each other on products like MA2. I own 3 Dji drones but still enjoy flying the less refined drones.....somehow more exciting to fly. Thanks for your content!

  • @pixelpeter3883
    @pixelpeter3883 4 года назад +3

    Regarding the vignetting on the X8SE 2018: this is probably due to the lens design, and the lack of vignetting on the 2020 model might indicate either a new/better lens design (which I doubt) or a 'build-in' algorithm to correct it (which is more likely).
    Pity to see the horizon tilting again and that yawing problems seems rather annoying :-\

  • @GorillamansGarage
    @GorillamansGarage 4 года назад +3

    I am very interested in seeing your views on the extent of noticeable differences between the 2 models. So far I think I only can say that the new one might have a slightly better range. Thanks

    • @ssamuelirving31
      @ssamuelirving31 4 года назад +2

  • @EspenJohan
    @EspenJohan 4 года назад +13

    Good comparison, but I dont like the colours in the sky with the 2020.

    • @davidblakeman6692
      @davidblakeman6692 4 года назад +3

      I agree. Didn't know we had a purple sky! I hoping that Fimi will take the time to correct the white balance, the tilt, and the over-yaw (that I didn't know about). At least the 2020 white balance isn't the "smurf setting" that the Fimi 2018 started out with. (I rather wish they would allow us to play with the color settings.)
      Still waiting on my Fimi 2020 -- ordered April 19th.
      I'm wondering if Fimi will be releasing a entirely new drone, and is using the Fimi 2020 as a place holder. Hubsan did this with the Zino Pro, and later released the Zino 2. Fimi 2020 looks like the "Pro version" of the X8 se. If so, will Fimi devote the necessary time to correct this drone's problems, or will they move on?

  • @joepowers3731

  • @jetmartin9501
    @jetmartin9501 4 года назад +1

    Chris, thanks for the video. Great video comparison. Re: the #2020YawGate problem...could it be that the controller damage you reported in your unboxing video is causing this problem? Speaking strictly from a personal preference perspective hear are my observations about the camera/image quality:
    I like the colors of the 2018 better (accurate or not) but parts of the image feel a bit under exposed. On the other hand the 2020 images appear to be better exposed (if not a little over exposed in some areas...the clouds) and the coloring may be a bit more accurate. I'm assuming that one could tweak the camera settings to get your desired exposure?
    Overall, I'm a bit disappointed that Fimi hasn't been able to "dial-in" the capabilities of the X8...it feels a bit like 1.5 steps forward and 1 step back. I also don't understand why they went with a smaller image sensor on the 2020 version. But I guess size isn't the end all and be all when it comes to image quality..it's probably more important how you process the image and the quality of the lens...I think there is a motion/ocean joke in there somewhere? It would appear that the new 2020 camera may be the same camera used in the Fimi Palm (Osmo pocket competitor). So maybe Fimi is trying to get economies of scale sharing the same camera.
    I'll be very interested to see if Fimi has made any improvements to the "Smart Flight" features (e.g., tracking/follow me, more dronies, waypoints? etc).
    Fundamentally it seems like the 2020 X8 is designed primarily to improve the Gross Margins for the Fimi X8 platform. Maybe Fimi has plans to release a Fimi Pro later this year and that's where their R&D $'s are going.
    From my perspective, the Fimi X8 2020 is still a very good value for the $...especially at $419.
    1) It's got long battery life and nice flight characteristics (can handle higher winds). Hopefully your Yaw issues are result of damage it sustained in shipping.
    2) Pretty solid camera and image (40K 30fps, high bit rate, etc)
    3) Good distance range (8KM with a battery life that supports that presumably supports that distance).
    4) Nice controller giving you the ability to make precise movements
    It's not perfect but still a great value. IMO.
    But with all that said I'll still take the Parrot Anafi over the Fimi X8 2018 or 2020 given all of it's Intelligent flight modes and given that you can pick up a refurb'ed version of the Anafi for $419 also. I'm jussayin....
    Hoping you will do a deep dive into the 2020's software features. to see if anything has been added or improved.

  • @ertatta
    @ertatta 4 года назад +2

    This is super helpful! You did a great job offering comparable footage. It really is a give and take, but I’d say I might overall give it to the ‘18 model for being better balanced. Concerned about a good amount of red and the blown out clouds. There are certainly pros in favor of the ‘20, but overall I find the ‘18 more pleasing.

  • @Icantdrive55
    @Icantdrive55 4 года назад +1

    Nice job with the comparison. Horizon tilt seemed to fix itself on the way back but going out they were both off a little. The colours on both were out a little. I suspect that the true colour your eye sees was somewhere in between. The 2020 was a bit too magenta making the sky purple and the trees and grass brownish/reddish. The 2018 was just had a blue cast to everything. Overall they looked pretty good. DJI isn’t perfect either. My original Mavic Pro has to have the horizon adjusted every time I fly it. It’s a simple adjustment in the go4 app and I know I have to do it every time I fly so it just becomes part of the take off procedure.

    @hdi4eva-castlesbydrone531 4 года назад +1

    Excellent side by side comparison, Chris. It is indeed a pity that we see old problems still existing in the 2020 model and in addition the Yaw problem, which has already been confirmed by some other users. This may nevertheless depend on the individual quads. Here is still hope they will fix the horizon problem this time, but maybe chances are slim, because it may be an inherent constructive problem. And because they didn't change any significant hardware the old flaws still persist. I guess they wanted to shell out a price competetive drone and not really a new model. I think that was the wrong move and not good for developping a good reputation in the long run. But I am still very satisfied with my X8 and you can achieve great results with it, but a new model should have been better. However, regarding the old version the camera firmware made a huge difference, which one did you have installed on your 2018 model? I wish you all the best, Chris.

    in 2018 there was dominance in blue
    and in 2020 there is a dominance of red
    in my opinion both equally defective
    unfortunately, without this camera defect it would be a very good drone

Haven't flown it much yet but from what I can tell the image quality is much better that either of those Fimi's, but then the Evo is twice as much.

    The 2018 version has huge vignetting, but the colors are good. The 2020 colors are not so good, and the clouds are overexposed. So I liked 2018 video much better. But 2020 has the HDR mode - maybe it will improve the dynamic range?

    Hi Chris, I had to send my X8 SE Black edition back to China for assessment. Had it delivered to them in 4 days from Ireland. They asked me to pay for all shipments and they are sending it back via ChinaPost which in my experience will take about 60 days to get it back. Awful customer service to be honest. I have DJI and Parrot drones and never had issues with them. I only have the FIMI since April 28 and it’s been a nightmare with loss of camera signal. Oh yea they said the problem was I did not complete a firmware correctly which is a bit nuts as I am very familiar with upgrade processes. Anyhow, sad to see they have issues with the 2020 as well. Don’t think they will be long in the drone market selling poor product and following that up with poor customer services.

    OK, so it's very early days, but how are you rating it against your old Zinos? I have a new Fimi on order and got myself a Zino H117S while I'm waiting. I'm being blown away by the video quality I'm getting off it and I'm finding it to be a great HQ video platform, which is what I want it for. You have a yaw problem, Parks n' Tech has a no yaw problem. I'm wondering whether to cancel my Fimi order while I still can even though the price has gone up since I ordered it.

    Banggood keep telling me since April the 2020 X8 is out of stock do you want your money back? I was on the waiting list before Christmas before that. I now have said give me back my money. How ever some of the things that crop up with the 2020 seem to be the same as for my 2018 X8, and it occurred to me that if I down load and update my 2018 model. will I inherit the old problems again. Do you have any ideas on that?.

    • @QCGUY
      @QCGUY  4 года назад +1

      I left my 2018 on good firmware for a very long time and loved it. When I did my comparison video I wanted both to be judged on the latest. Big mistake because yes the problems returned like I took huge steps backwards. I don't remember what firmware I was on at the time to go back to either.

      I just can’t watch his content but I heard he mentioned my controller issue and then heard from others about the rest and saw screen shots.
      They do watch me though.....out of paranoia for what I might say about them and to learn something or get their facts straight.
      Who do you think taught Marcus everything zino? 😂 When he got the Zino he latched right on to me.
      I didn’t teach him how to be a stick flicker though. 😂 😆 😝
      Bill is smart enough to know the Zino is out of his wheelhouse so he sold both of his and will bail on the X8 as soon as he does a few of the easy stuff content on it. None will be totally honest though!

      A group of us RUclipsrs and some non RUclipsrs have a Facebook group where we love to dissect all the bullshit that they spew, mistakes they make and share facial expression of Marcus. It’s always a laugh 😆
      He’s got everybody snowed and is nothing of what you see on his channel.
      You say he takes notes and that’s funny because since I started busting his balls for doing firmware update videos while not remembering the firmware version or what is in the update that he now reads off a sheet of bullet points. You will notice his eye 👁 is always looking down or just off the camera. Not as noticeable as Bill looking into the other room when he reads his. 😂
