Video

Yes, it's actually better than what I was expecting!

Yep, it's a good drone. Other companies are catching up to dji 👍 I was surprised at how well the drone pulled off the precision landing!

Yep, I will be doing a dedicated video just on the tracking 🙂 As for the jerky fpv, it isn't actually jerky when I'm flying. I checked my screen recording info, and it seems to record at 94fps. That's probably the issue with the jerkyness showing up in the video. 👍

@@RobinDrones I don't care for tracking personally, but I know many do 🌷 Waypoints are my cup of tea 🤗

Ha ha, yes, that's so true about being in the uk! We need vivid eyes👀. The Fimi seems a good drone so far, being as it's well priced 👍

Yes, it definitely helps in the daytime. I find green is the best for daytime, especially if you have lots of white clouds. Red seems good at night 👍

Thanks for the sub. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while. You make great informative videos 👍 How's life in Spain 🇪🇸? I take it you emigrated from the UK 🇬🇧? As for the Fimi, it's a great drone for the money as it's packed full of features with a great sensor!

@@RobinDrones 9 years living in Spain and loving it - looks a great drone for its price - keep up the great work

Yes, if you're willing to spend $760 on the mini 4 pro This is $350 and is feature packed. Some people can't afford a Dji. I like to show alternatives to Dji.

@@RobinDronesignore the bloat thanks for the review.

No, it doesn't, but I've not found I have needed it. No obstacle avoidance works 100% I've seen someone fly their dji air 3 into a wall twice and destroyed the drone! You can't trust it.

In my country 🇬🇧 no drone is banned or is planning to be banned. I don't know about any other country

@@RobinDrones I thought this is in the U.S

@@gmctano1570with houses like that😂

It will also let you fly up to 800m high! That's highly dangerous, though 😳 I would never fly above 120m unless I was flying up a mountain. I'm on the other side of the fence when it comes to obstacle avoidance. I have seen so many crashes with obstacle avoidance. It would give me a false sense of security. Maybe because I've never had it on a drone and I don't know what I'm missing! Yeh, I can't believe the US is going to ban Dji products 😳 Maybe they know something that we don't....

Apparently, 9km in Fcc mode, but probably 1-3km in Ce mode.

I agree about the image, and about the colour orange is the perfect colour for a drone. Dji should add different colours to boost their sales someone would love to buy a pink drone! Precision landing worked great, although on the idaho quad copter channel, did you see the video where (I think it was the Fimi 2) it tried to land in the rubbish bin! Ha ha ha Marcus laughed 😅 Thank yep nearly at 3000 subs I can't believe that I have more than 100 subscribers really. The mini 2 se was a birthday present to myself. The best thing I have ever bought as I just love flying drones! 😁

So the fpv screen wasn't actually choppy while flying. I think the issue was that my screen recording was filmed at 94fps!? After rendering the video at 30fps it has made the fpv really look bad. If I get round to it, I will make a video showing the screen recording alongside a camera recording my screen at 30fps. So, while flying, it seems as smooth as a dji.

Thank you ! So there goes my hopes of getting 5km range on this thing, it seems they kept the single cheap antenna from previous versions. Myself also noticed that the image quality is not on par with a 48MP/F1;6 camera and not above anything that I recently have put my hands on. The geofencing is a big deal to me so I am quite short on options.

I can get 5km range easily on 5.8G band here even in the city, the 2.4G band is not as good though in the city.

​@@shapethefuturetech6005 But then why the video looks choopy at all the times and why do you avoid to comment on that subject at all the times ?​

I can only speak to my experience. Under the exact same conditions and location I get 1.1 km with DJI mini 2, 900m with DJI mini 3 pro, 600 m with dji mavic mini, 400m with Fimi a3, 600m with Fimi mini 3, and 800m with Fimi x8 se 2022 (special edition 15km range version). PS. With the special edition x8 se 2022 why bother quoting 15 km if 1 km is not possible?

@@gimpman1357Nice. Do you happen to be in a EU/CE country ? I can get 5km on my potensic atom going 120 meters high on a area with plenty wifi.

Yep technology move on quick even small less well know companies such as Fimi can make a good product with tons of features 👍

@@RobinDrones Definitely true. So far the Fimi seems like a better more advanced orange version of the Atom Some things seem very similar to the Atom too. Like the way the battery loads and also the gimbal protector. That thing looks like it would snap on to the front of an Atom and the batteries look like they could slide right into an Atom. You would know more about if that is true since you have them both. (I just got another update for the Atom this week too.) If I do buy a Fimi it won't be until after Xmas and after I have watched enough reviews.

@paulking7019, unfortunately, the batteries don't fit from the Atom. Also, I was out flying. I took the Fimi and the Atom but forgot the Atom usb lead that plugs in the remote. So I thought that would be fine as the Fimi one should work. Nope, it doesn't work 😟 I, too, thought that Fimi and potensic were linked in some way, but I don't think they are.

I'm going to hold out for the potensic atom 2! Hehe

​​@@paulking7019If you like range.. Then don't buy it that's my review.. The atom destroys it in range.. The range of this model is abhorrent to say the least.. If you want signal dropout from 500 to 700 metres then buy it.. It is absolutely awful.. From a high vantage point it will struggle the entire way to 3klm...

Thanks 😊 The Fimi seems a good drone.

And also the potensic seems much more stable !!!

Think Potensic video quality is not great. It's good but not great. Features wise it's really good though.

Maybe it’s just my eyes but the Fimi doesn’t seem to blow the sky details out as much as the Potensic. But it just may be me. Saturation does play a role as well so I guess it’s relative.

@@JWNRW59 Yes I agree with that

The dynamic range is much better, also the night video is much much better.

That's my next video. I've filmed it, and i am halfway through editing it 👍

A lot of people say B, but if you watch on a large 4k screen or zoom in on your phone, you can see that A has more detail. At least I can and some others. But it's 50-50, some say A some say b. Maybe it's me expecting A to look better as it's 4k?

Thanks I agree 👍

It's surprising, good, and you can actually shoot in F log. The video was shot on the standard colour profile of normal and auto exposure. Also, there is no video editing done with the footage. It's all straight out of the drone 👍 Yep good old Sony sensor in this drone 😀

If you are into photo/video/range just avoid fimi, transmission sucks and also the CPU on this drone will crawl if you try 48MP photo or 4k/60fps videos. It is more of a toy than a drone. I would go even with dji mini 4k over this thing.

I don't own the dji mini 3, but it's a tough choice as Dji is a more polished drone with a larger sensor-so it should be better in low light, and it has true vertical shooting but it's still a basic drone that will cost more than the Fimi. The Fimi, on the other hand, like you said, is feature rich, Waypoints that you can save and plan them before flying. 3 modes of tracking, Timelapse, Night mode 4k 60fps SAR mode, Course lock, The list goes on.. But the main 2 things we should consider when picking a drone are, Image quality and price The mini 3 should have better image quality but is more expensive £429 add 2 more batteries, and you're looking at £547 The Fimi is cheap for what you get I paid £261 for the drone bag and 2 batteries and have ordered a bigger plus battery for £34 so £295 That's almost half of the price of the mini 3! With all of those extra features. I can't really tell you which to buy, but I'd recommend them both.

Video looked good for me at this price point. And I had no issues with the transmission. But I've not tried the 4k 60 yet...

Thankyou, great points. Really appreciate your input on this 👍

Yeh it's awesome 👌 I ordered from Ali express £261.65 with 2 batteries and the bag. I was lucky as I didn't have to pay any extra customs and duty tax 😀

@@RobinDrones oh that’s amazing mate, yea I saw it advertised on there , what a great price too! The picture quality looks superb 👍 I believe the zoom is very good too isn’t it in what they call the search and rescue? 12 times zoom?

Thanks for letting me know. My 2nd battery is with the delivery company Evri, but they have had it since 6th June. I'm guessing that they were supposed to join the package with the drone, so to deliver in 1 package. I bet they are waiting for the actual drone package 📦 to join the 2, but they have already delivered it! My first flight video is currently being uploaded now, it's a big one at 55GB as I've switched to Davinci resolve and chose max quality. Hopefully, I'll release it at 10am tomorrow UK time. How are you finding the Fimi?

@@RobinDrones czcams.com/video/9ZuDqkDrOGw/video.htmlsi=4kFmkgrXwG_7BITF night flight

I've literally just finished my 1st flight 😁 It was successful 👍 Video out soon ......

I used VSDC video editor for this video. However, I've switched to Davinci resolve both are free for pc. So I use these to cut the videos and to overly videos on top of each other. 👍

Great comment 👍 I fully agree that the mini 4k was so much sharper. Like you said, the trees and the grass show more detail. Around half of the comments said either they were both the same or the mini 2 se was sharper 🤔 I'm guessing most watched this on their phone with a 1080p screen. It still amazes me that both these "budget" drones produce a very very good image! Please share your video comparing them both if you're putting it on CZcams 👍

Why would it invalidate the warranty, because how would they know that you've used the goggles while flying?
