i loves these little cheaper drone that have all the features of the dji mini 3
Almost had a heart attack when you're turning 180deg at that tight space. Nice video captain.
Very impressive night mode on that third version. Thanks for sharing Steve. 👍👍👍
I could not figure out why the quality was so good in the dark until I looked at the specs: It has a half-inch sensor!
Fun video ! 😃
Nice job Cap!
See you in part 2!!
😎
I like the color...
Im hoping for an Potensic ATOM 2 😊
Yes I agree I have the potensic atom and it's been a great little drone just wish the camera would do a little better in low light.
Blessbe S3 drone ❤😮❤😮
awsome review Captain.
yayyy happy you have this drone now
👍👍Good review. If I flew it in my house, I would need a Painter the next day to fix the collisions with the walls. Good job!😀
Hi Steve, good to see a drone back on the captain drone channel 😊
Mark
Ha ha… I do review one drone per week, as well as one plane per week, and when possible one helicopter per week. So in a week I have three vids, and one is usually always a drone. Unless of course you were thinking of beginner level camera drones vice FPV Drones?
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I'm still watching after a good few years. Like your channel very much and your presenting style. Perhaps a little sarcastic over lack of camera drones lately but no offence ment
@@mark120964Not much in the way of beginner GPS camera drones to review. I pick all the products I review so I tend to avoid the not so good ones. Also for DJI drones I have to buy them, so since they are expensive I need a use for them, therefore I only buy the top models that will have a purpose in my drone inventory for drone work.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I totally understand. Think cheaper camera drones are going out of interest. And I know you have to buy dji stuff yourself, which isn't cheap. Keep up the good work steve. And thanks for taking the time to respond I really appreciate it
Is it good enough for indoor realty? I really haven't had a call for it so I'd hate to buy one of the newer DJI minis 3 or 4 unless they perform a whole lot better. It be more like a just in case I need it type of thing. I do have the avata with the motion controller. But it might be a touch to loud. Lol@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Hi Steve 😀👋.
Wow I have to say. I'm very impressed with the night vision flight. It's stable and lol you crashed again 😂,but thankfully it was fine 👍
Looking forward to the outdoor flight soon. Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful video and God bless you and your family always 🙏. Have a great week my friend Steve
great review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
waiting part 2
Thank you so much for this great video ❤
You are so welcome!
Good evening captain really nice drone cool video great footage
Very nice Steve
Looks fun
That is a surprisingly good little drone... It even bounced off the wall with style! 😂 Great video, I enjoyed watching, thanks.
I like the set up
I am glad to see the competition to DJI. This looks like a completely capable unit. I’m impressed with the camera. The price is also very good and acceptable. I don’t use all the fancy quick shots and stuff so I would find this to be more than worth my consideration. I just wish that there were more domestic companies that could compete with this capability, price point and size! Even if it was $200 more, I would consider it acceptable for a domestically produced unit.
The one thing it does not have is the DJI controller with the screen. I dislike connecting to a cell phone.
Very good review. Thank you.
The 9 km range is BOGUS. I get less than 650m. My DJI Mini 2 does 1.1 km under the exact same conditions and location.
PS. I've had the Fimi mini 3 for 3 weeks and have had the chance to fly and test it over 20 flights
Pros: Feature packed..ie. quick shots, tracking, hyperlapse, waypoints. Camera good in low light, (finally a true level horizon). Price is good. No geofencing.
Negatives: Hover is not super stable. Moves up down. Strong winds will move it sideways. Not great on windy/gusty days. I figure it has level 4 wind resistance. Colour profile in videos is good but not great (too saturated/colors not realistic). CPU/chip set is weak. If you put it in 48mp photo it is unflyable.
Also range is 650m. Flight time 22 minutes
My Conclusion: The Fimi Mini 3 is worth the money if you want a feature packed drone with no geofencing that's good in low light. But I'd still recommend the DJI Mini 4K or DJI Mini 3 for a better experience and after sales service.
Are you in the USA with FCC transmission, or somewhere else with CE? My old Mini 2 could go a few miles + without any issue. I never range tested it, but I took it out over 12,000 feet a few times. I've taken my AIR 3, out 5+ miles & still had all but one bar of signal strength. This is in North Dakota USA
@@johnmajka5404 I live in Canada's largest City. Everything I own is FCC. I can only speak to my experience. In the same location, same conditions I get 1.1km with DJI mini 2, 900m with DJI mini 3 Pro, Fimi Mini 3 gets 650m. Fimi are always the worst when it comes to performing to spec. They want beginners to think they bought something better than DJI.
@@johnmajka5404 Nice. I do 2 km (6560 ft) with my original Fimi Mini, but I am always worried about winds etc. and so happy to come back. :-) Signal is no problem, both video and control.
@@johnmajka5404 All my drones are FCC. I Live in Canada's largest city. My DJI drones do 50% further than my Fimi drones. The Fimi Mini 3 may be bad because of underpowered CPU is diverting power from antennas to bigger sensor Camera. Also I am convinced it is not great in gusty wind.
Looks interesting.
very good
Well done Captain Bake ! ; "Flown to perfection"; whoops, that was a reference to "Baked to perfection" !!! footage comparison was very interesting, trying to pick which was more natural? ; I thought the house on lights was true to colour / exposure!; regardless, at just over $500 AUD it has stiff opposition from DJI !!!! PS, I see the trusty acoustic is still in the corner, are you still playing ?
I hope to revisit the guitar next month when on vacation
I like it, wish I could have it..
salut, Steve
merci pour cette présentation du Fimi 3 et balade en interieur😁
il a des qualités,mais Potensic est au dessus ( a mon avis)pour un tarif a peu près pareil..voire en dessous.
chaoo et bonne semaine😉🤗👍
If you could do a night flight when you fly outside that would be awesome
Blessbe S3 drone ❤😮❤😮❤😮
It looked better more balanced in night mode shots than the regular shots
Hi Captiain drone can you please help me with a wiring problem on my fpv drone please respond. I'm a big fan
Would like to see a comparison between this and the Potensic Drone
Hi
can you try a flight with mini 4 pro indoors
Hello Steve, it's me Dave from "Real Life's Journey Becoming Pinoy" I love how you share about drones... I'm wondering what drone is out there that has over 40 minute flight time and has 4k or 5k 60fps video and has around 10miles signal strength and can handle high gust winds over 65km/hr
Only AUTEL and DJI make such Consumer drones. Have a look at their catelogue of consumer drones and you'll find a few.
I am very happy user of the first Fimi Mini, but - are the batteries really compatible? Because on the Mini "facelift" V2 there were some new "intelligent" batteries, I wonder if I could use my old ones here... Anyway, that night mode was pretty impressive.
Waiting for the outdoor night footage. I flew my Mini 4 Pro the other day in pitch black to record some fireworks and the image was kinda alright, but heavy image drifting.
Fireworks are super difficult to film with a camera drone & small image sensor
@@CAPTAINDRONE798what kind of drone would you recommend if you are regularly filming in low light / no light conditions?
@@HD-vh2dwif you are filming for yourself and nothing professional that any human would pay for, then all the DJI consumer drones are fine & give acceptable results. If someone is paying you for your filming, then you’ll need a real camera with removable lenses.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks Cap‘!
I love your videos but there's a drone s119 it's call
You should use propeller guards inside, thats what I do with my dji mini 3 pro incase of a accident!
That is exactly what prop guards are for. However if a product doesn’t come with them, then it would be wrong to add them in a review
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Ok, buddy be care with all those machines! Your video's are great!
All Fimi quadcopters sofar have had problems with shifting horizons during flight; will be interesting to see whether or not Fimi was able to address that problem on this one.
El horizonte torcido de los Fimi se soluciona en algo con la calibración de los 6 ejes que debes pedir a Fimi que desbloquee esa función y además calibrar el gimball antes del vuelo. Varias marcas y modelos de drones tienen horizonte torcido , no solo Fimi.
Taking the orange because autel has been bowing out eh.... nice.
Looking forward to more about this one Steve!
10k ke under me konsa drone bast rahega
the review im waiting for 😊, now im torn between this drone or the potensic atom..
If the FIMI performs well outdoors, then it will be the drone to get.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ill wait for the part 2 of your testing
Great video! Can someone tell me when in way point mode and picking points, how to pick a POI ? I guess I’m old and slow but I couldn’t find how to do it! If it is there can more than one be added for different waypoints and what to do there?
Also mine is coming up short / loosing connection right before the beach / less than a mile…. What can I do to get a little more range? Thank You!
There is no POI that I saw. If you can’t get range then it means you are lacking firmware updates and/or you are flying in a city. All drones have no range in cities due to interference.
Manual shows. Blue pins and
Mentions dragging pol to spot? I just can’t find anywhere to bring them up and thank you for your reply. Keep up the great vids!
Another great review CD (given the weather conditions.) Okay, so this or the Potensic Atom, which is the top choice now? (I'm guessing it's the FIMI now.)
DJI Mini 4K or DJI Mini 3 are much better chouces
If prices are the same, the FIMI MINI 3 would win.
@TheFreakShow-lw3yk. You must be either new to drones or a BIG fan of DJI. The DJI drones you mention have lesser features than the FIMI 3. Today, people want 4K 60 FPS, Tracking and Waypoints. Those DJI drones have non of such features.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks Steve, okay, this is bubbled to the top of my list!
@TheFreakShow-lw3yk Also, at least here in the US, they're talking about a DJI drone ban, so it's good to have alternatives. DJI does have geo-fencing restrictions whereas I don't think FIMI enforces that either.
Not to say anything bad. The fimi is so close to the potensic atom. Is the potensic a rebrand of the fimi. I like them both.
Hi Steve I really need you are help to set up the draknight on my Mac
Ha ha, I’m not tech support. Just imagine if everyone that watched my channel were asking for step by step help. What I do provide is assistance. Viewers ask questions & I provide answers. Viewers try to figure things out and when they get stuck, they tell me what exactly they have done and where they are stuck. So feel free to let me know what you’ve done, and where you are stuck.
And Im still saving to get the Fimi Mini 2 ...lol
Something I noticed and wish would change. Is all drones seem to follow the same pattern. They all seem to imitate the shape and look of the DJI Mini's no matter what. I remember finding a drone called something like the "V-Coptr" or something like that. But it only has two motors. And in doing so, allows the drone to have a flgiht time around 52-Minutes due to not having to power another 2 motors. I believe it is the only VTOL Drone I have seen on the consumer market.
I remember seeing someone make a sketch of their fantasy drone. They were just having fun with the idea. But they had two drones. One of them had three motors, the other had two. The 3-motors had two traditional motors pointed vertical along the base body. While having the 3rd motor akin to that of a prop plane. The 2-motor one had one big motor, and a cylinder shaped wind shaft going through the mid, with a horizontal motor. with a big one on top.
While they probably have their own issues with flight, I would really love to see some new and cool looking drones. Fyi, if you are able to get your hands on a V-coptr, then I would recommend giving it a try. I am pretty sure they were discontinued though.
I think you may be behind a bit in the tech world. Here is my review from almost 3 years ago: ruclips.net/video/x9qz-DqWHbY/видео.htmlsi=yBuOT-gHP9agdxMW
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Oh wow looks like I have a video to watch now
In your opinion is this a better option than the potensic atom?
If prices are the same, then most certainly
Buy the DJI Mini 3 at Costco or Best Buy. If you don't like it bring it back. If you get a dud Fimi mini 3 you are stuck with it.
PS. You won't return the DJI Mini 3.
Hello Steve The last time we talked you had advised me to get the DJI mini 4K over the potensic Adam. However that was days before the announcement of the fimi mini 3 and all of its specifications. After seeing the mini 3 spec. I decided on the Fimi mini 3. that was a month ago and I am still waiting for my drone. In the specifications at the very bottom it talks about live stream video from the drone could you please check into that and do a video about it. Please
How cheaper is than DJI?
Get a mini 3 dji
@@MyFriendlyPup it's to late, my Fimi should be here this week. After waiting 20+ days I'm really anxious to get my mini 3 after seeing the specs the Fimi won hands down. When compared to the DJI mini 4K & the potensic atom.
@@MyFriendlyPup I can't afford to get a DJI mini 3 the fly more kit is over 700 dollars 💵 I'm disabled and live on a fixed income. So I needed to get the very best in video 📷 for my budget and the new fimi has a 1/2 in sensor and 60 fps that's way better than anything else for the price
@@chazf883 qvc has a flex pay option which is what I did when I bought my mini 2 with the fly more kit.
Remote ID built in or is an add on module needed?
No mention of it because the drone is under 250 grams
Will the larger battery bring the weight above 250 g?
Yes, if you use the PLUS battery the weight goes a few grams over 250
Wonder if the batteries from the Atom and Atom Se are the same as Fimi and cross compatible.
Their battery options do the same if you put the SE battery in the Atom.
I'd buy a Fimi right now if I knew my Potensic Atom batteries could be used.
Can the white balance be set?
Yes… it is called MANUAL camera settings. Everything was left in AUTO due to the changing lighting conditions.
Can I fly with just my phone
Nope. I did not see an option for WIFI flight.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 do you know any drone with GPS that I can use my phone to fly or drive
LOL more of the same please
Very expensive for what it is .. Sorry for that money I’d stick to the dependable DJI’s .Thanks for the review though 😀👍
Price is $299 when not on sale. For that price this drone has more features than the competition of new mini drones.
I'd wait for the Fimi Mini 3 SE which is to be launched soon. I bet they will replace the CPU/chip set so it can handle the Fimi mini 3 camera's capabilities and not freeze up in 48mp picture. And also correct the lack of range issue.
Fimi has put out several firmware updates to address issues. If you own the drone in this video, update your firmware. So far, no reported issues with mine.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You have no reported issues with yours because you edit them out so no one can see.
Steve: A) Your wife has left you or B) She was on vacation out of the country. I know one of these is true as she would have killed you and there would be no video with you slamming into her walls. So which is true? I'm glad you did this, but I will miss you. Part 2 is cancelled. ;-)
She was most definitely out of the house at the time of the wall crash 😁
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 If she watches your videos, I want to say goodbye now. She will sell all your cameras, shut down the Captain Drone channel while you are in the hospital. ***A MOMENT OF SILENCE**** Steve was a good guy and honest in his reviews, until he flew a Fimi in his wife's house and hit her wall. I will miss him dearly. ;-)
Your review of the Fimi X8SE 2022 V2 Is one of the reasons I purchased that drone late last year. Had very good luck with it until recently it just fell out of the sky. It's still within the warranty.. The past 10 days Fimi has been nothing but BS. All the information they asked for I provided immediately and then they just slow play you on this daily request for information as if they didn't already receive it The whole system is designed to make you kind of give up. I say this not only based on my experience in the past 10 days but looking through the forms. Yea They manufacture some pretty decent drones, better customer service there isn't it customer service it seems like everyone talks to the same person her name is Amy and her job is just to slow play you as far as any warning issues. I don't blame you but I think it is something that you really should inform people because that is part of buying a drone is the customer service when there's a problem. I haven't seen one good review of their customer service.
One day I’ll make a new review of CUSTOMER SUPPORT for drones. I made one before and I had positive experience but not everyone does with every company, especially if they don’t live in one of the key countries. If you ask people what the biggest negative is with DJI Drones, they’ll tell you it is customer support.
Just another toy drone, pretending to be AUTEl EVO drones. Nice review, Steve
It does come in FIMI White which would not make you think of Autel.
To me it seems the Gimbal is a bit unprotected...🤔
The gimbal is the same as per any mini drone on the market
After crash it vibrates, must be a part of the prop missing.
Vibrate???
I just ordered myself fimi mini 3 from Alix for 87$
You do realize you are not gonna receive a real fully functioning Fimi Mini 3 with remote & battery for that price
I hope I didn't misunderstood, it says it includes two batteries and 128GB, reduced from 263$
@@munirali2147Yup, definitely not the Fimi Mini 3 as it sells for $299. You most definitely bought something else or you have been scammed.
Is this a viable alternative once the big bad nasty DJI drones have been banned? It seemed a bit crap, but America seems to be embracing backward steps these days, it's happening with healthcare, living standards, potential presidents and now drones.
American politics runs on MONEY and DJI has plenty, so expect DJI to Buy its way out of a total ban. I don’t foresee a ban of DJI Drones for the hobbiest.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798unfortunately you are correct. The American government is so corrupt it’s sad
