    Liked the video. Very calm tone, no rush, no background music, no in between add, no bubbly mouth, not long video, no upselling T-shirts,etc. Keep the sprit up.

      Hello Amir. Your comment made me laugh but yeah I know what you mean. Thanks for your feedback. Oh BTW I do have background music but the volume is quite low. 🙂

    Your channel keeps growing.way to go Otto😍👏 I really planned to buy the dji mini 2 but it was good I put it on hold then comes the tightened regulations of flying drone here. Maybe when I get back home it's good to have this for a better aerial view.

    Nice and good comparison analysis.
    As always a very good video. The DJI quality can be noticed.
    Can everybody fly a drone over 250 grs in the US? Are there many limitations for flying them there?. Here he are very few spaces to fly them and a very complex process and examination to take the license for that.
    Thanks for sharing with us

    • @OttoJulian_
      @OttoJulian_  Před 3 lety +1

      Hello Ruiz! thanks for watching! drones over 250 grams for recreational use can be used but the drone needs to be registered with the FAA. Nowadays you also need to take a quick test and just like everywhere around the world, you can't fly your drone on many locations.

    The price is not problem for me, I'm ok with price of Mini 2 but subject tracking charms me. Also I don't have any idea do I need subject tracking :)

    • @OttoJulian_
      @OttoJulian_  Před rokem

      that's the question you need an answer for. I would say tracking is very nice, but if you are thinking about the Fimi, you need to know that you will lose some quality s the Mini 2

      Which one did you end up buying? Also how do you like it? I ordered the Fimi still waiting for it to be delivered. I thought about buying the c-fly and I still might but not sure. Just getting back into drones after maybe 15 years and last one I had was $250 with no GPS if features other than streaming 2k maybe to the phone. Ha So big upgrade for me 😀

      I end up with Autel mini. Because they did not have fimi an i got nice warranty return but had to spend it at same place i bought.
      I took my fimi mini to spain got few shots in the beach was getting gail force winds warning so did not push it
      I really like it
      Flew well
      Video was ok for me
      Range was good
      An could fly any where.

    Hi Otto I like your reviews. New sub here! I'm confused which one to buy first: drone or 360 camera? Dji mini 3 and insta x3 price are not that far. Do you have a video for that? Thanks

    • @OttoJulian_
      @OttoJulian_  Před rokem +1

      I have a few videos for the insta360 X3, and I understand your confusion. The drone is a great purchase if you have places where you can fly it. I’d go with a drone if you don’t have a good camera. Otherwise I think that a camera is a must since you will be using it more frequently (insta360 or any other one)

I think for landscapes and high altitude shooting nothing will beat a drone while for actions party events & sports etc fancy shooting nothing will beat an action 360 camera... that means I need both lol - but maybe I'll buy 360 camera first lots of use as I don't travel a lot..

    doesn't DJI hae software limitations/annoyiences on where you can fly....whereas FIMI doesn't have any of that?

    • @OttoJulian_
      @OttoJulian_  Před 2 lety

      yeah DJI has some restrictions but I have noticed that they are places where we are not supposed to fly (near airports, heliports, or restricted airspace). I'm not quite sure if FIMI doesn't have those restrictions, since my flight tests were done in safe areas that had no restrictions in place

    70$ difference for a mini drone where you have to buy the PRO battery to stay under 250g ain't worthy. Besides, DJI quality is unbeatable.

    • @OttoJulian_
      @OttoJulian_  Před 3 lety +1

      Not sure what they are thinking off. You can buy the drone with the PRO battery for about $390 or so, the problem is that most stores are selling the standard version. But I do agree with you Dario on the quality department they should get ahead to compete better

    • @DarioPanara
      @DarioPanara Před 3 lety

      @@OttoJulian_ As far as I know, the first models online were sold with the standard battery and you should have bough the extra Pro after. The problem as I'm seeing is that the competitors of DJI are acting so much like "wannabe", and in some cases like "copy/paste" (surely aesthetically) doing such a cheap job for almost the same amount of money. My point of view is "buy it nice or buy it twice" as another youtuber says. 😉
