Looks like they've been able to cram most of what the x8 does into a much smaller package. I already have the fimi x8 se 2020 and I'm totally satisfied with it now, if this is similar and they continue to iron out the bugs like they have with the x8 it will be a financially sound alternative to DJI's offerings. Also just to add, fimi's customer service have been superb for me, fast response and very helpful, I can't understand why some people have had a poor experience?
At $329.00 on Amazon I just cant see why anyone would go with this drone over A DJI MINI 2?? I mean these companies out of china think they can compete then think they are worth over 200 bucks....dreaming. Of course love your videos......I did subscribe because your videos are educational and entertaining 😀👍
Fimi is by xiomi which works together with Samsung and Sony meanwhile dji is chinese and is blacklisted from the US government and bad customer service and glitches phone
Btw Dustin Awesome job on revealing several undesirable quirks on the X8: Definitely Appreciate it , For me I’m game to spend the bit xtra for DJI’s Mini 2 to avoid those headaches & enjoy the refinements of the better software,etc👍😉 hey ?.. Do you get the better batteries in Fly More Combo or are they xtra??
Great in depth un boxing and initial setup as usual Dustin. Looking forward to your flight testing with this one with its extra features and functions. FIMI are getting a good respectable foot hold in the budget Drone market these days. I’m Still looking at purchasing sub 250g Drone but holding off as the DJI Mini 3 is claimed to be launched soon as well as the Hubson Mini Pro. Of course the DJI Mini 2 is high on my list at the present time. Keep up the great work and greetings from the UK 👍
Hi Dustin! Another great review. Hey, my wife and I will arrive on Maui tomorrow afternoon from Phoenix. We're staying in Kihei until the 31st. Wondering if you'd be open to meeting at your park for a few mins at least? I'll have my DJI Mini 2.
We were just in Flagstaff dropping my oldest daughter Meika off to college 😬🙂. I'll be at my "regular" job but I'll let you know of I get some time. Have a great vacation 🍻
@@DustinDunnill let me know the name and general address of the park and I'll map it for an idea how far away we are. We're staying in Kihei on Uluniu Rd.
Great video. Helped me. Big time to get my new mini in the air. Thanks again. Love this drone. Great winning christmas raffle. You got it to me in Scotland Uk. Thanks again. Need more batteries :)
Hey Dustin, have you gotten your hands on a Swan K1 pro yet? It's a VTOL LR plane that seems to be a worthy successor to the disco. Not sure if you can fly it on 4g but there is something about a Sim card so who knows, maybe! Anyway, is this one on your radar? It's pretty pricey so I'd much rather get your review before I pull the trigger. I think Foxeer rebrand also sells it under a rebranded name.
That's the plus battery...puts the drone over 250 grams....grab the standard battery...its 2S Lipo more similar to a Mini 2 (7.7 Volt nominal and 2200 mAh)....shorter flight time but dunno if the lighter battery gives any additional performance sans flight time over that bigger plus battery due to less weight plus higher voltage with the lighter battery due to it being Lipo vs Li-Ion. I see it was listed as the bigger battery being standard vs pro but now the "pro" battery is the then listed standard battery you have
This one is the only drone with props out directions like other racing drones. Good for sharp turning and the dust also not going to blur the camera lens, not like the props in directions which is everytime i must clean the camera .
Hello Dustin. Will the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 come? I was told it was upgraded from Ocusync 1.0 to Ocusync 2.0. Please take the video. You are the king :) You are even the best review king :)
As always, an excellent review. The Fimi has already shown that it is problematic in several areas. (not unexpected, since Fimi is the rebrand/relaunch of Xiaomi , the company which made the unfocused YI camera for years). The X8 Mini is slightly cheaper than the DJI Mini 2, but MORE expensive than the recently released DJI Mini SE. Looking forward to your additional reviews of this, but, speaking for myself, I'd never buy a Xiaomi/Fimi drone. Mahalo !
Weigh your drone Dustin .. unless you bought the pro version it's not going to be under 250g. The pro version comes with a lighter battery. Oh and just like it's full size version , the mini suffers with horrendous gimbal tilt
Really neat drone. If Fimi came out with a second version of this one, hopefully they will put a cooling fan on it. Excellent thorough review Dustin looking forward to the flight test video 😊
Quick tip: if a quad includes a controller with it, you probably don't want the quad. Actuaplly, nothing probably about it... you don't want the quad. Don't take my word for it, you'll find out eventually after buy a couple of these junk quads. Sort of like ordering a meal at a restauraunt - if the meal comes with a happy meal type toy, your probably don't want it. Order a big juicy burger and steak fries instead.
I had the Xiaomi 4K. The interface with my phone didn’t always work. It also developed problems for no reason. The battery diagnostics would lose connection and I couldn’t see my voltage. The camera developed a twitch that I couldn’t stop. Sometimes I couldn’t get it to launch, something about the internal compass being unable to function. I just don’t have faith in the Fimi products. It was a $600 lesson I won’t soon forget.
I have not watched it yet, but I can assure you it's not a DJI killer. No geofence is about all it's got on DJI. The DJI 2k is better then 99% of the budget drones 4k. That's not even talking about the flight performance.
With all respect, that drone was very poorly packaged? With that gimbal protective cover off the way It was. thought they did a sloppy azz job shipping that drone out to people who actually spend money on. I understand it's not as expensive, but still. The orange one looks great? By the way, cool video. 👍👍👍
@@PolarBearLP I should be able to fly in my backyard up to say 20m but DJI has almost all of Okinawa blocked off even some of the more remote beach areas.
Wind speed was 8mph and it has level 5 wind control but it could not hold position when hovering or when stopping progress. Very lightweight and cost is comparable to the DJI Mini SE. If you NEED the object tracking capability and can accept constantly compensating for the unexpected movements, it is a good buy.
They are so clever.....i hawe 40 and 60 WHAT Charger for my HUAWEY P30 PRO and for POCOF3 and that baterry can take only 1 AMP i asume,but my chargers are spiting out 2,5-3,0 AMPS of direct current,so fimi baterrys are just eminent fire cetch desaster,espetialy for newbes who buy FIMI MINI AS THEY FIRS DRONE......Guys always use prioriterry chargers,if baterry have a 2000 miliamp then your maximum charging otput mast be MAX 2.0 AMPS if you go higher you will couse a baterry to puff and it will burn. When i was buy MAVIC MINI it dose not comed with charger BUT DJI MINI HAVE A PORT IN DRONE AND IT HAS A POWER REDUCTION CIRCUT BOARD INSIDE THAT CHANGE AMPS BEFORE DIRECTING IT TO THE BATERRY,FIMI DOSE NOT HAVE THAHT SAFETY FEATURE,BECOSE PORT FOR CHARGIN DRONE IS DIRECTLY ON THE BATERRY AND THAT IS NOT GOOD....DUSTIN YOU ARE THE KING OF GPS DRONE REWIEVS,ALVAYS DETAILED UNBOXING,UPDATE I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS,JUST FOR NEW USERS,PLEASE NEVER LEVE THE BATERRY WHILE CHARGIN ALONE IN HOUSE,ALWAYS CHARGE BATERRYS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE SAME ROM AND NEVER LEAVE FULY CHARGE BATERRY IF YOU ARE NOT PLANING TO FLY THAT DAY,IT WILL SAVE YOUR BATERRY LIFE,AND IT WILL PREVENT YOU TO BURN YOUR HOUSE AND PLEASE DONT FLY HIGHER THAN 120 METERS,AND OVER ROADS,PEOPLES AND SO ON,BEFORE 7 DAYS A BOEING 737 IS STRUCK THE DRONE ON 2500 FEAT ALTITUDE WHILE CLIMBING,PILOTS ARE REPORTED STRIKE TO TOWER AND ASKED PRIORITI 1 EMERGENCY LANDING....BECOSE SOME IDIOT IS FLYING AT NIGHT AT 2500 FET ALTITUDE NOW A WHOLE HOBBY IS AT RISK,AND WE ALLREADY HAVE A TITGHT RESTRICTIONS,IF THAT CONTINIUE TO HAPEN STATES WILL BAN ALL DRONES AND WE WILL LOSE OUR HOBBY...PEACE,AND SORRY FOR MISPELING GREATINGS FROM CROATIA FOR ALL DRONE AND RC FANS.
I always thought it was the device you are charging that knows how much power to take. I use my high amp OnePlus phone charger for many low amp electronics and works fine.
Definitely don't buy the Fimi x8 mini, it blames the user when the drone fails under warranty and doesn't make repairs or changes. After the new updates of the drone, the image quality deteriorated very much, I wrote this down, I sent the black box to fimi, they told me that I had an accident and there would be no change in the repair. I said I definitely didn't have an accident, but they didn't make a turn. DO NOT BUY fimi x8 mini IF THE DEVICE MALFUNCTIONS, THEY DO NOT MAKE REPAIRS.
Great, great drone. Says it can fly 8 kilometres, doubt that. Besides have no idea why anyone wants to fly more than a kilometre or so, mindless. Oh, besides that you are not legally allowed to fly that far.
Looks like they've been able to cram most of what the x8 does into a much smaller package. I already have the fimi x8 se 2020 and I'm totally satisfied with it now, if this is similar and they continue to iron out the bugs like they have with the x8 it will be a financially sound alternative to DJI's offerings. Also just to add, fimi's customer service have been superb for me, fast response and very helpful, I can't understand why some people have had a poor experience?
I have the dji Mini 2 and I have had overheat issues so dont be afraid of that. It just happens when it is updating generally
is this better than DJI mini se?
Yes
As usual a superb review ... unmatched detail. Nobody else brings this kind of detail to a drone review! Kudos again my friend.
Very informative unboxing thanks for sharing Dustin.
Dji mini 2 has no competition imo, it's the best drone out there. My mate has fimi x8 mini and it's ass
I mean the autel is a slightly better drone, but it is a lot more expensive so ur right.
Would be sweet if you could repack the battery pack when it goes bad.
lot more features than on DJI but .. do they really work. Can't wait for the range test though :)
What is the max allowable flying height please?
Fimi x8 mini drone battery can be used for Fini Mini 3 drone ?
At $329.00 on Amazon I just cant see why anyone would go with this drone over A DJI MINI 2?? I mean these companies out of china think they can compete then think they are worth over 200 bucks....dreaming.

Been a fan of his channel since disco -_-!
Nice coverage on unbox & initial setup, thank you
Btw Dustin Awesome job on revealing several undesirable quirks on the X8: Definitely Appreciate it , For me I’m game to spend the bit xtra for DJI’s Mini 2 to avoid those headaches & enjoy the refinements of the better software,etc👍😉 hey ?.. Do you get the better batteries in Fly More Combo or are they xtra??
Should the control settings be set airplane mode no wifi. The best way to Fly this mini x 8??
It’s been a while. Good to see you still going. Do You think it will hold up to DJI product?
nah
Is it better to fly airplane mode on or off. An it's not recording on the SD card. Card is bad I believe. Trying a new card see if that works
Great job 👍😉, nice video. liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing 👍😉
How’s the range compare to mini 2 on this Dustin ?
Check out the range test on my channel 🍻
Such a good video Dustin! Thanks for the info.
Looking forward to your review of the fimi mini. Hope you review the Hubsan Zino Mini Pro?
I'm Zino Mini the works 🍻
DJI mini 2 can hover and fili x8 i dont really like the hover

Hi, do you think the Non-Fly Zone Protection that Fimi imposed to Fimi X8 Mini is similar to Geofencing to Dji?
Nice review Dustin
Awesome video great production.
Thanks 🙏

Right on Joe. Glad to hear you received your prize and you enjoy it 🙂🍻
Really comprihensive Dustin! Thanks for that!!
Is this the one that aims to compete with the mini, but is over 250g, so falls into the wrong category?
Can't wait for the flight test!
Hey Dustin, have you gotten your hands on a Swan K1 pro yet? It's a VTOL LR plane that seems to be a worthy successor to the disco. Not sure if you can fly it on 4g but there is something about a Sim card so who knows, maybe!

Yes,. K1 is under review 🍻
You should review the new DJI se
Sir ji ye kitne kilometer chala jayega
Thank you sir,nice review. Waiting for flight test and range test.
Looking forward to your review on this fimi mini
Quick question. I have the Fimi A3 drones and it works with goggles, will this work as well?
Not that I know of. An update may allow it to work in VR on phone with a goggle box 🍻
That's the plus battery...puts the drone over 250 grams....grab the standard battery...its 2S Lipo more similar to a Mini 2 (7.7 Volt nominal and 2200 mAh)....shorter flight time but dunno if the lighter battery gives any additional performance sans flight time over that bigger plus battery due to less weight plus higher voltage with the lighter battery due to it being Lipo vs Li-Ion.
I see it was listed as the bigger battery being standard vs pro but now the "pro" battery is the then listed standard battery you have
what is price same or ?
This one is the only drone with props out directions like other racing drones. Good for sharp turning and the dust also not going to blur the camera lens, not like the props in directions which is everytime i must clean the camera .
What about hubsan zino mini pro ?
Waiting for your video 😄
Wow amazing
Good morning Dustin, Are you going to do the Hubsan mini??
Yes 🍻
Bro plis tell me the price of mavic 2 pro with fly more combo price
Just search
@@hawkeyephotography8942 bro I want to know in ur area
@@albertloitam5272 it's the same in every area
Are those antennas fake?
Hello Dustin. Will the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 come? I was told it was upgraded from Ocusync 1.0 to Ocusync 2.0. Please take the video. You are the king :) You are even the best review king :)
Flight test coming soon?
Where is part 2 fimi X8
Wow this isn't much cheaper in price. Looking forward to the range test.
Omg I'm so excited to see it flying around
Quick question which one is best mini 2 or fimi x8 ??
Honest answer only 🔥
Can u do the dji mini se review pls
You should review the dji mini se
There isnt really anything to review about it its basically the mavic mini with the mini 2 body
How much this droon
Love your work
While you’re showing menu , why can’t you just turn drone off so it doesn’t heat up like it is now
LiIon is supposed to give more power per gram than lipo. hence why all long range flyers use 18650
Pls do review of parrot AI drone
Lol can't wait for the test flight

Please review the Swan K1 PRO 👍
In the process 👍
Hey where the chasing m2 part 2
Working on it 🍻
Looks great but I wouldn't buy another Fimi drone, they have no customer service or app support. Looking forward to the review(s) though.
great review, thanks for sharing my friend
Thanks for your demonstration. Good to see. Greetings LuBi
Wow nice drone bro..I like it❤
But can the Fimi fly?
Weigh your drone Dustin .. unless you bought the pro version it's not going to be under 250g.
The pro version comes with a lighter battery.
Oh and just like it's full size version , the mini suffers with horrendous gimbal tilt
He said that later in the video
The part with the weight
Thank you for this video I'm watching it for a purpose I can't buy I'm just imagining I have one.
Really neat drone. If Fimi came out with a second version of this one, hopefully they will put a cooling fan on it. Excellent thorough review Dustin looking forward to the flight test video 😊

If u I hope u get 1m followers
Man that thing is a direct rip of the DJI minis. How is that legal?? lol
Because China
Dji mini is prop in(normal prop direction), Fimi Mini is prop out(reversed direction) so the dusts not makes blur to the camera lens.
With all respect, that drone was very poorly packaged? With that gimbal protective cover off the way It was. thought they did a sloppy azz job shipping that drone out to people who actually spend money on. I understand it's not as expensive, but still.

Geofencing? If so no thanks
Why?
