  • In this video i will show you what the Timelapse function is like.
    Is it any good?
    I am also testing the flight time with the standard lipo battery 2200 mAh vs the "plus" lion battery 3100 mAh
    Here is a link to the Fimi mini 3...

      Yeh I like it. It's great if you can get it for a good price. But the price fluctuates on Ali Express.
      I love the orange colour 😁

    Thanks for this. I'm glad I only ordered the standard batteries as extras.
    Time lapse seems a bit of a gimmick feature though. Hard to get good results if the drone is swaying in the wind. Otherwise, not too bad
    I hope they implement cruise control.

      Yes, cruise control would be handy!

    Awesome video as always mate, cracking little drone that! I love the start up sound of it too , makes me laugh everytime it starts up you make the sound haha! Timelapse are great mate, preferred the second one with the sun shadows etc! Great times on those batteries too! Have a great weekend! 👍

    Have Still Got My DJI Spark Drone Which Was Away Ahead Of It's Time. However With Other Chinese Company's Getting There Act Together And Adding More Features For The Money In The Sub 250 Gram Market, This Drone Has Just Moved Ahead A Little. Will Not Be Ruled By DJI All The Time But Will Try It Out Via Amazon Purchase But I Would Still Need Vi-Fly Strobe To See It In Gloomy Conditions.

      Yes it is good to wait until it's on Amazon that way if there's anything wrong, you can send it back.
      The Fimi is the drone that I'm using the most at the mo due to it having a good sensor and lots of features 👍

    I have the DJI Mini 3 and use the plus battery, it lasts so long that i sometimes get bored lol, have had 44 mins from this battery 👍, but most of my flights are around 15-20 mins so the plus battery is nice to have when flying distance out over water.

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  Месяц назад +1

    Robin I want to know your conclusion between the fimi mini 3 and the DJI 4k which ones better overall and can the fimi be compared to the DJI mini 3?

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  Месяц назад +2

      Don't get me wrong, but the dji mini 4k is a fantastic drone it has the best signal and the best at taking photos.
      It's also higher quality.
      However, it is basic.
      Whereas the Fimi,
      1. Has a larger stocked sensor.
      2. Has the option of a plus size battery.
      3. It has super night mode.
      4. It has waypoints.
      5. It has tracking.
      6. It has 12x zoom
      7. 4k 60fps
      8. Timelapse
      9. Hyperlapse
      10. You can limit your speed from as low as 1 meter per second (very useful)
      11. It's faster at near 40mph.
      12. It has precision landing.
      13. It's cheaper if you can get a good deal.
      I find myself flying the Fimi more than the dji.
      But you'll be happy with either ☺️

    Hi, good test, thanks for sharing. I'm a bit surprised that the Plus battery didn't last longer. I think that the Plus battery is Li-Ion where the charge doesn't decay in time like the normal Li-Pol standard battery. That lets one get the Fimi Mini 3 up in the air fast by not needing to wait charging batteries. The Fimi Plus is a lot like the original black DJI Mini 1 Li-Ion battery. A possible advantage using the Fimi Plus is that the extra weight may be useful in strong winds?

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  Месяц назад

      I'm more surprised by the standard battery 27 mins. The most I've got with any sub 250g drone was around 22-24 mins.
      They both were fully charged 1h before filming.
      Yeh, I wish more drone batteries were lion as, like you said, they stay charged.
      I actually did a hover test in my garden the other day, and I got 23 minutes with the standard and 28min with the plus battery.

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  Месяц назад +1

      You won't damage it unless you fly to close to trees ect.
      Pick a wide open space on your first flight and make sure you have a min of around 14 satellites before taking off, or the drone may drift out of control.
      It is super easy to fly

    There is only one definition for these batteries: lithium-ion polymer, the lithium in batteries being in the ionic state; any other definition is an invention of the world of drones ! 🙂

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  26 дней назад +1

      The same, but Totally different in my eyes.
      Pros of Lithium Polymer(pouch cells):
      LiPo’s hold the highest voltage under load of all lithium batteries so they perform well in high amp draw applications
      LiPo batteries come in many different form factors so they can be built to fit lots of applications
      Maintains lower temperatures under high discharge
      Cons of Lithium Polymer(pouch cells):
      LiPo’s are more prone to thermal runaway when punctured or damaged
      LiPo batteries provide around half the life cycles of a Li-Ion
      Can be discharged down to 3v per cell
      Pros of Lithium ion(cylindrical cells):
      Li-ion batteries are higher energy density(Wh/kg) which allows for longer runtimes and lighter weight
      Lithium-ion batteries are safer than lithium polymer because of the metal enclosure
      Can be discharged down to 2.5v per cell
      Cons of Lithium ion(cylindrical cells):
      In high amp draw applications, they will have lower voltage under load compared to lithium polymer
      They are round cells in specific sizes which can create some limitations to fit in certain applications
      They tend to hold higher temperatures during and especially after performing a higher discharge rate

    I bought the FIMI mini 3 same color as yours and all the videos I found on how to connect the drone to the app is a white drone with a switch. The orange doesn’t have a switch where there should be one to go from rc to wifi. How do I put the drone into wifi mode?

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  Месяц назад

      You can only connect it via plugging your phone into the remote. Apparently, they removed the WiFi option on this version.
      However, the first batch of the mini 3 had the switch, but it was non functional 🤔

      I'd say for price and features the Fimi is better.
      For image quality the dji mini 3 would be better as the cmos sensor is bigger.
      1/2" vs 1/1.3"
