No one execute the review like this , Proper not boring , Science & most of all making a good influence to review all competitive brands, Congrats Dustin ur the GOAT in what you do. 👏👏👏 Cant wait for the next video..
Justin thanks for doing extended reviews on this drone. This is the drone everyone is keeping an eye to put a wrinkle on Dji because xiomi is an actual established company that makes great products and is just as big as Dji. This drone comes in at a fraction of the price and is better than any other drone in it's price point so hopefully it proves its worth.
Great video, this x8 is getting better by the day with the updates ! And the view, dude... I lived in Guadeloupe (French West Indies) for 17 years but Hawaii seems to be an even more beautiful place ! Thanks for the quality content !
I would try precision landing that already from take-off(or at some 2 feets high) the camera would be tilted totally down. Maybe this will helps drone to "remember" take-off picture. And ofcorse before landing I would tilt camera again down. And I agree with you, for the money this is the best drone you can get. A lot of functions works good + 4k camera works very good.
Ah yes, back when they were only trying to shut down businesses by rioting and looting rather than government exploitation of a virus in order to drive all small and medium businesses into bankruptcy while leaving the walmarts and amazons profiting more than ever before. Gotta love the crony capitalism that will never hesitate to exploit a disaster to promote the mega corps.
Woah! What an incredible drone for that price point. A whopping 3 mile round trip is amazing. Then flight time was really good as well as the video quality
Hope you're all enjoying my Fimi X8 series. Get the FIMI X8 here goo.gl/DmNGCQ & use code 01F59B for $75 off! This is one of my new favorites. It looks good, works good and is built good. If Xiaomi continues the timely software updates to improve it as they have been, I have no doubt that this X8 series is on it's way to be one of, if not THE best drones for the price people can afford. Good competition to DJI is good for us as consumers 👌 Aloha, -Dustin
Fimi seem to have issues producing /delivering to BG/GB. Fimi site is down. You by any change have some realistic info on delivery as a reviewer? I used the code and am willing to wait.
Hi Dustin, I just started watching your show and you are so lucky to live in such a place, anyway I like the little guy and it seems to work the way it is supposed to. Keep it up !
I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS, YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST REVIEWER ON YOU TUBE,,, and I'm not criticizing,, this is just a thought, when the craft lost signal at 16000' why don't you just slide the parabolic dishes on at that point and see how much further you can go,,, why do you have to have 2 separate videos.... also I get a chuckle out of every single drone reviewer making a big deal out of the precision return to home being 3'4'5' off.....as a drone pilot --Can you think of any situation where the drone must come back and land exactly where it took off,,, personally I'm happy if it comes back within 50' I can take control and land the drone
I can think of many times where I find one flat spot 5 feet away from the ocean on a lava rock cliff here to launch from. If something happened to my controller or phone/tablet and could not regain ccontrol. Good precision landing would mean the difference of the drone gone in the ocean or wrecked in the lava / or worse landing on someone. Lots of reasons and it's a feature that is now advertised so it should work better 👍
Thank you for your prompt response and and explanation also why you feel return to home accuracy is important. I noticed another reviewer who had a fairly successful return to home with the X8 calibrated directly over his launch/landing pad, thought that might have some bearing, my Phantom Vision 2 was always off by usually 2 to 3 feet. Not much but your reasoning for accuracy is understandable. Thanks again
I have had a very nice video, this drone is very nice and the quality is superb compared to the price. Thanks, hopefully the video about this drone goes on!
This was a really good test! I would love to get one of these drones. Its nice to see that they are sending out updates. I would love to see a review of your 400 toyota truck!
That was awesome Dustin. I think FIMI really has something with that drone. Now if they listen to yours and others feedback suggestions, and tend to those issue, it would be a hard to beat drone for its price. Turning a good drone into a great drone. Thanks for the video.
I've really enjoyed your video on the x8 drone. I presently have a DJI Spark. I pre-ordered a FIMI X8 about a month or so ago and am anxiously awaiting its delivery. Your videos will bring me to speed, when mine arrives. Thanks Toyota 4Runner you have is nice. I also am a 4Runner fan. I'm on my 2nd 4Runner, a 2005 sport edition V8.
Great video Dustin. The FIMI X8 is definitely a great competitor with DJI at the current price point. Again, awesome video, keep them coming! Video Idea - Have you thought about revisiting the Mavic Pro 1? I’m definitely interested in hearing your thoughts 3 years later (range test, image quality, and stability). Just a thought. As always, thanks!
ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΣΟΦΟΥΛΗΣ is there a 2k option? Good compromise. Also, the radio chip may only TX with as much power as it needs. If that’s the case, flying closer could also help.
I love the reviews that Dustin does. He is one of the reasons I got into this hobby. I responded to a post earlier, that the X8 is going for 650 on Ebay.. Obviously, the link Dustin has is a much better price. I wanted to add that if people are looking to spend 5-6 hundred for this drone. Do some checking. You can pick up a Mavic Pro, in great condition, for about the same price. This would be used, but so many flyers jumped on the new versions, that the used market is now flooded. Just saying. Be safe..
Thinking of buying this one,have had parrot anti in mind for months but now thinking about this one.Dont think anyone can review this quite as good as you so am watching this closely 😀,thanks for your patience with this.😁.
Just remember That Anafi have had a lot of updates lately With new features and such. Dustin really needs to pick up Anafi again for an updated test. Im also looking for Anafi or similar priceband so would like to see this as well
@@DK1864dizzy I agree with Sonny,I would love to see a really good trial on the Anafi.I like the material the Anafi is made from making it lighter than others and the quietness but the range can't be improved coz of the battery size for the speed it fly's at means any more range and it couldn't RTH from full range.
Thank you for the video.I have been a subscriber for a while.It’s videos like this that keep me coming back.I’mgoing to ditch the toy drones.I am vacillating between the xiaomi drone,and the Autel Evo.I think right now,Inam leaning to the Evo.From what I hear,the Evo has a really good camera.Thanks again
I'm not sure if it has changed or not. But the GPS accuracy used to be determined by the us military. In order to get more than 3 meter accuracy we had to get special permission and they had to authorize it in the system or in the satellites to allow us 1 foot accuracy on our GPS boxes. Most of these return tests are within the tenish foot radius. So that leads me to believe those limitations are still in place. Cheers
Not positive, but I think those restrictions were lifted some time ago. Also of note, this, and many drones, utilize the Russian GLONASS geolocation satellite network. along with GPS.
Great stuff! Isn't it possible that if you want to test if the primary camera assists in precision landing, that you should have taken off with it facing down too? Another explanation would be that the hardware in form of the bottom sensors is there but the software doesn't use them yet until the software is finished. I'm just guessing here, no criticism whatsoever. I think you do a great job putting it through its paces.
Your right but I honestly don't think it uses it. There is a new update and the bottom cam looks for a landing pad. If you don't have one a message now pops up "no landing pad detected". Time for more testing 😂✌️
One more great video! I love your channel, you are making great reviews! Just one observation: keep in mind that you are not in totally interference free area. You have cellular telephony (2g, 3g, 4g...) broadcast, electromagnetic interference from power lines, etc. At high frequencies where drone's RF transmitter is operating, clouds are obstacle to RF signal. So I guess that flying it over a sea or in wildness could give even better range results. Of course, it has no real life application comparing to your video, but I'm saying this only from theoretical point.
Dustin, great review again! Thanks. According to its manual the precise landing works in VPU mode only. Not in GPS mode. It does have some optical flow camera on the bottom which takes care of it. No need to tilt gimbal down.
Thanks again Dustin. Agree, don't see the blue. At 18:08 I wonder if there is a difference in video definition with the drone competitors. Many factors I suppose though, CZcams, camera, my aging eyes. I don't get the published battery time on my Xioami 4K drone either before it forces landing. Definitely review your truck, Can you RC it?lol
What do you think guys, Dji spark or Fimi x8 SE ? They are both about the same price in my country. The footage from fimi is little bit oversaturated for me, but when i look at the quality and resolution of the fimi i think is 10x better then spark. Video from spark is more natural to my eyes. I dont really care about distance of flight. I think 3km from spark are awesome.
2miles folks is more than ENOUGH for all of us .Shit what more do we need from quads to go outer space.Shit they are battery powered and little flying marvels of machines that we are blessed to have and fly.GOOD flying D and showing what this one can do. Any body that will have this in their collection of quads will be pleased with this baby right here i got enough dji ones and i love all of them also have others to from different quad makers and i love all of those to that i just love to fly. But this one i love since ive had it and i just love to fly it to every time since i got it just like all the ones im blessed to have and fly. I base the QUADS i buy on the purpose that they serve me the ones for fun and sport, the ones for serious photographic. The ones for flying close the ones for going way out there, the ones that u just fly the shit out of them up side down twirling all around going all of the place and sturdy ass fuck just in case u just happen to crash it dust it off and be amaze that the dam thing Will Still FLY .
I had a flight with my fimi x8 se today , with stock antenna and no booster, with the height of about 100m , i managed reached 5139 meter still with full bar on controller and 3 bar at video feeds at 48% left battery.
Hello: Your videos, it helps me to assess if the Fimi x8 can be the companion of my veteran and faithful Q500 4k, I look for a reliable and manageable drone that complements the Q500 and does not jump to a Yuneec H or Mavic which is a greater economic outlay. Thank you very much again.
Thanks Dustin very nice range test I was thinking it seems to land the same distances away most of the time try to more the landing pad to where you think it may land after you take off and see how close it is. 5 feet forward and 3 feet left
Such a big difference, (range), between an urban area, and a valley area! Have You tried a range test after the last update? Aparently supports FCC mode Thank you for your videos I already bought it, but I'm waiting for the stock to be available
Hi Dustin .... Robin here from the UK ... Thanks for the video firstly - looking into buying my first drone as I live in the countryside in Wales so should get some nice flying space . Two questions for you if you don't mind ... 1) any opinion on what drone I should go for ? 2) is there any difference in the fimi x8 / fimi x8 SE please . TIA 👍
Dustin, I really like this drone. I've seen several of your vids on it and some others, and it looks every bit as good as a Mavic to me, maybe better. But I've never flown a drone, and not real tech savvy. I don't own a cell phone, so I need advice on what you need for the controller, in order to watch the first person view while flying. Does an early generation iPad work, which cell phones work with it, and do you need to have cell service, a cell plan, in order to make it work, or will it work without cell service or an activated SIM card?
Great video Dustin. My step son is flying a Mavic Pro...It's a little high priced for me (quite a bit actually). This looks like it may be the one for me. His Mavic will fly 5 miles (proved from his house to mine); however, I don't need that distance or the 30 minutes flight time. The camera seems to give all the resolution I need for finding camping and fishing spots in the Colorado mountains. I just subscribed to your site. Thank you again BTW - didn't see if it needed a 5G. Will it fly with an Android
Thanks. It works on Android or apple and controller plugs directly into phone so no wifi is needed in the field. If you have data (which a phone should) you'll be able to stream in the basemap.
I think you are right about the speed, it looks more like 4.5 metres per second, which is quite slow, not 4.5 MPH, which is VERY slow. It couldn't have been 4.5 MPH and allow you to get out more than two miles in 4 or 5 minutes!

Hey m8, loved ur vid ! I was thinking about getting the x8 or the mavic mini, which one is better in ur opinion :)?
Both a good choice depending on your needs. Main differences are 4K resolution, weight,wind resistance and app functions
Dustin Dunnill coupon expired, got another? Best price I can find is for right now is $550
That link does not work 404 page not found just FWI
Thank you for letting me know. I think it's fixed now 🍻
The software, the price, the range, autonomy, video quality... All is perfect with this drone, i'm impressed.
No one execute the review like this , Proper not boring , Science & most of all making a good influence to review all competitive brands, Congrats Dustin ur the GOAT in what you do. 👏👏👏 Cant wait for the next video..
I'm flattered Adrian. Thank you 🙂🍻
Adrian Mutya u got that right. Dustin has been a huge inspiration to me along my short journey. He is the best.. GOAT
no matter how many times i look x8 se front head, its really looks like starwars troopers 😂
Justin thanks for doing extended reviews on this drone. This is the drone everyone is keeping an eye to put a wrinkle on Dji because xiomi is an actual established company that makes great products and is just as big as Dji. This drone comes in at a fraction of the price and is better than any other drone in it's price point so hopefully it proves its worth.
Yes, that's why I'm testing it so much. A viable company and drone option to disrupt the market and benefit the consumers 👍
New Fimi X8 SE 2020 now released with 8000M range!
Great video, this x8 is getting better by the day with the updates ! And the view, dude... I lived in Guadeloupe (French West Indies) for 17 years but Hawaii seems to be an even more beautiful place ! Thanks for the quality content !

And I agree with you, for the money this is the best drone you can get. A lot of functions works good + 4k camera works very good.
Ahhh March of 2019, Good old days lol
yup....was thinking the same thing
Right before coronavirus
Ah yes, back when they were only trying to shut down businesses by rioting and looting rather than government exploitation of a virus in order to drive all small and medium businesses into bankruptcy while leaving the walmarts and amazons profiting more than ever before. Gotta love the crony capitalism that will never hesitate to exploit a disaster to promote the mega corps.
Woah! What an incredible drone for that price point. A whopping 3 mile round trip is amazing. Then flight time was really good as well as the video quality
Notification squad! I'm so hyped about this drone.. Order placed already thanks to you ;)
I 100% AGREE!!!!! This looks like such a nice drone!!!!
Hope you're all enjoying my Fimi X8 series. Get the FIMI X8 here goo.gl/DmNGCQ & use code 01F59B for $75 off!

Aloha,
-Dustin
Hopefully they do well so dji has to drop there prices to Compete
I agree.
And I agree,that why my price range is around the Anafi/Fimi range.
Nice can't wait to see the parabolic test out in the country 😀
Fimi seem to have issues producing /delivering to BG/GB. Fimi site is down. You by any change have some realistic info on delivery as a reviewer? I used the code and am willing to wait.
Another great range test Dustin. The Fimi X8 did very well, it went the distance.
Wow! 3 miles, stock! I guess you can easily get 6 mi. With parabolic antennas. Can’t wait to see it. Great stuff and excellent video.
Honestly didn't think it was going to make 4.80km - Pretty impressive. About to watch the video with boosters... Cheers Dustin!
This might be a noob comment but why are racers/xstylers messing about with analogue vtx when there's this sort of fpv quality out there?
Lag time but DJI has taken care of it with their new goggle system
Close to buying one of these. Awesome review series. Thanks
Hi Dustin, I just started watching your show and you are so lucky to live in such a place, anyway I like the little guy and it seems to work the way it is supposed to. Keep it up !
Awesome review + landscape + commentary! Thanks Dustin, Aloha from Southeast Florida.
Amazing flight! The scenery never gets old. Thanks for the review.

Hey Jeff. It automatically logs it's launch/home point when armed for takeoff 👍

Nice to keep updated with this drone!
Wow, That’s pretty good! And $75 off with a code… Sweet! Great video Dustin thanks for all your vids, really do enjoy them!
Cheers Dustin. Nother nice video mucker.
This was a really good test! I would love to get one of these drones. Its nice to see that they are sending out updates. I would love to see a review of your 400 toyota truck!
Waiting to see some more 4K footage, not sure this is quite there for me but great review, thanks! Can't wait to see the 4 Runner review!
Can't wait for the test with the Parabolic
Nice!!! Seems like it might be a cheaper alternative to the Mavick. Well Done Dustin!
Excellent distance range to low price drone!
That was awesome Dustin. I think FIMI really has something with that drone. Now if they listen to yours and others feedback suggestions, and tend to those issue, it would be a hard to beat drone for its price. Turning a good drone into a great drone. Thanks for the video.
4:22 looks like watching over from plane
I've really enjoyed your video on the x8 drone. I presently have a DJI Spark. I pre-ordered a FIMI X8 about a month or so ago and am anxiously awaiting its delivery. Your videos will bring me to speed, when mine arrives. Thanks
Toyota 4Runner you have is nice. I also am a 4Runner fan. I'm on my 2nd 4Runner, a 2005 sport edition V8.
hankbe111 Nice. Looks like you’re into quality. I have a CR-V that’s really good too.
how is the fimi x8 so far??
I just saw your spotter Dustin , He has to know how far that Bird will go cause he has gone way out there on his bike .
That was pretty much what they claimed it could do truth in advertising. I wonder if it can bind to the Fimi A3 controller with the built in display.
Great Job Dustin. I told you I'm getting almost miles easy with the extenders on open the open. Best cheap drone on the market!
👍
Great video with stunning views 👍
Great video Dustin. The FIMI X8 is definitely a great competitor with DJI at the current price point. Again, awesome video, keep them coming!
Video Idea - Have you thought about revisiting the Mavic Pro 1? I’m definitely interested in hearing your thoughts 3 years later (range test, image quality, and stability). Just a thought. As always, thanks!
Fly and record in 1080p. You are going to have about 28 to 31 minutes of flight time till 10% battery.
ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΣΟΦΟΥΛΗΣ is there a 2k option? Good compromise.
Also, the radio chip may only TX with as much power as it needs. If that’s the case, flying closer could also help.
First time here. Looks like a channel that I'll be coming back to often thank you
Great reviews! You test exactly what I want to know about! Range, performance, flight times! Can’t wait for you next test!
I love the reviews that Dustin does. He is one of the reasons I got into this hobby. I responded to a post earlier, that the X8 is going for 650 on Ebay.. Obviously, the link Dustin has is a much better price. I wanted to add that if people are looking to spend 5-6 hundred for this drone. Do some checking. You can pick up a Mavic Pro, in great condition, for about the same price. This would be used, but so many flyers jumped on the new versions, that the used market is now flooded. Just saying.

Awesome video! I just purchased a Fimi. Looking forward to flying it here in Florida
Thinking of buying this one,have had parrot anti in mind for months but now thinking about this one.Dont think anyone can review this quite as good as you so am watching this closely 😀,thanks for your patience with this.😁.

Are you a 107 pilot ? just curious how your able to fly so far away or does Hawaii not have vlos laws. If so im moving back to big Island
ive heard in one of your videos that your a fan of stormtrooper, now that looks like a stormtrooper😊
WOW GREAT TEST 3 MILES YOU WOULD NEVER THINK IT WOULD GO THAT FAR 👍👍👍👍👍
a quick calculation... it went ~15K feet in 8 minutes.. that's 1875f/min = 21,3mph = 34km/h
not bad
The first thing I noticed... They finally fixed the HS and VS values 😂
On iOs its works, its on android that it fails, Dustin Dunnill can confirm that maybe.
Correct Android still needs some updates for readings to be corrected
That range is right up with dji. Not bad, pretty perfect area for the test.
Videos are awesome. Such a beautiful place to live. I have been a couple of times and it’s amazing.
Nice detailed review again Dustin. Always enjoy.
We love to watch the mavic 2 and parrot anafi country range test as well plz
u r simply the best
Thank you for the video.I have been a subscriber for a while.It’s videos like this that keep me coming back.I’mgoing to ditch the toy drones.I am vacillating between the xiaomi drone,and the Autel Evo.I think right now,Inam leaning to the Evo.From what I hear,the Evo has a really good camera.Thanks again
You bet. The EVO does have a great camera indeed 👍
Between this and dji mavic air which one is a better choice overall?
Of course the dji mavic air but check the price different
I'm not sure if it has changed or not. But the GPS accuracy used to be determined by the us military. In order to get more than 3 meter accuracy we had to get special permission and they had to authorize it in the system or in the satellites to allow us 1 foot accuracy on our GPS boxes.

Not positive, but I think those restrictions were lifted some time ago. Also of note, this, and many drones, utilize the Russian GLONASS geolocation satellite network. along with GPS.
Beautiful terrain for flights, great views. The drone is sufficient, you do not have to buy Spark Spark or Mavic. Are you satisfied with it?
Great video, GPS accuracy + - 1metre on landing, nice commentary. Might even buy one...
Great flight Dustin, going to watch how the boosters do now!
Great! Can't wait to see in the same place, same route but with antenna booster
Great stuff! Isn't it possible that if you want to test if the primary camera assists in precision landing, that you should have taken off with it facing down too? Another explanation would be that the hardware in form of the bottom sensors is there but the software doesn't use them yet until the software is finished.

According to its manual the precise landing works in VPU mode only. Not in GPS mode. It does have some optical flow camera on the bottom which takes care of it. No need to tilt gimbal down.
I did many Precision landing tests now, see my videos, and PLs WORK 100%!!
Mirage drone did it land precisely in GPS mode as well?
I watched your videos earlier but didn’t remember if you mentioned what mode was the drone in.
Thanks again Dustin. Agree, don't see the blue. At 18:08 I wonder if there is a difference in video definition with the drone competitors. Many factors I suppose though, CZcams, camera, my aging eyes. I don't get the published battery time on my Xioami 4K drone either before it forces landing. Definitely review your truck, Can you RC it?lol
Great test there Justin. And also fantastic Scenery. 
Great test l am thinking about ordering not sure l must watch some more Reviews thanks
Top as usual. Simple and clear. Is the fpv view better since the firmware update ? the videos on sd seems pretty good.
Awesome review and flight Dustin! Over 3 miles. Wow!
Wow I’ll take that “garbage” comment I made on the first video. Looks like a very promising drone bro. Nice review
What do you think guys, Dji spark or Fimi x8 SE ? They are both about the same price in my country. The footage from fimi is little bit oversaturated for me, but when i look at the quality and resolution of the fimi i think is 10x better then spark. Video from spark is more natural to my eyes. I dont really care about distance of flight. I think 3km from spark are awesome.
nice video as always. I wait for the next !!
Brilliant series of reviews on the Fimi X8, thanks. I too have a iPad Air 2 and wondered what bracket you are using?
In description right?
2miles folks is more than ENOUGH for all of us .Shit what more do we need from quads to go outer space.Shit they are battery powered and little flying marvels of machines that we are blessed to have and fly.GOOD flying D and showing what this one can do. Any body that will have this in their collection of quads will be pleased with this baby right here i got enough dji ones and i love all of them also have others to from different quad makers and i love all of those to that i just love to fly. But this one i love since ive had it and i just love to fly it to every time since i got it just like all the ones im blessed to have and fly. I base the QUADS i buy on the purpose that they serve me the ones for fun and sport, the ones for serious photographic. The ones for flying close the ones for going way out there, the ones that u just fly the shit out of them up side down twirling all around going all of the place and sturdy ass fuck just in case u just happen to crash it dust it off and be amaze that the dam thing Will Still FLY .
Great one Dustin. So this would compare to the XIAOMI Mi 4K on distance. Curious, which do you like more? Thanks and be safe.
Definitely this for it's size and smart features compared.
Yes but what about the distance seems like the mi 4k have stronger video and radio signal
Muito show brother parabéns...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
From the video, I got 8:40 to go the 16k ft. That gives a speed of 21.2 mph or 9.48 m/s.
I had a flight with my fimi x8 se today , with stock antenna and no booster, with the height of about 100m , i managed reached 5139 meter still with full bar on controller and 3 bar at video feeds at 48% left battery.
That place is so beautiful I subbed
Another great review sir! i like this drone!
Great video! Should have easily gone 3 miles without cutting out from on top of hill. I think it will not do 3 miles on flat land.
Very good.
you have to s top recording for the precision landing to work. it cant use the camera for the landing when you are still using the camera to record.
We missed a lot country range test
And been waiting for while
For some reason your reviews are sooooo relaxed to watch. How about doing some more race drone reviews :-) Would be awesome.
Thanks, I plan to. There's a lot to keep up with 🙂🍻
Hello:
Your videos, it helps me to assess if the Fimi x8 can be the companion of my veteran and faithful Q500 4k, I look for a reliable and manageable drone that complements the Q500 and does not jump to a Yuneec H or Mavic which is a greater economic outlay. Thank you very much again.
What mapping software did they implement in the app bro? I’m not sure if u mentioned it before, and is it cached or is it real-time?
Thanks Dustin very nice range test I was thinking it seems to land the same distances away most of the time try to more the landing pad
to where you think it may land after you take off and see how close it is. 5 feet forward and 3 feet left
Aloha! Thank you for this because I'm highly interested in getting this drone.
Wow! Awesome range test Dustin.. I think we can modify the 5.8g antenna of the drone.. 🤔
Wooooooow. Amazing drone for the price. I gotta have it.
Such a big difference, (range), between an urban area, and a valley area! Have You tried a range test after the last update? Aparently supports FCC mode
Thank you for your videos
I already bought it, but I'm waiting for the stock to be available
Yes, the range has improved 👍
Why can't i Oder the mi drone 4k
Really good review Dustin.
Love your videos 👍🏼
You rock Dustin!!
What’s the iPad stand off you have on your controller?
This drone VS the zino? Which would you recommend and why?
Also, the coupon codes are long expired
The X8. It's just better in every way 👍.
Hi Dustin .... Robin here from the UK ... Thanks for the video firstly - looking into buying my first drone as I live in the countryside in Wales so should get some nice flying space . Two questions for you if you don't mind ... 1) any opinion on what drone I should go for ?
2) is there any difference in the fimi x8 / fimi x8 SE please .
TIA 👍
Dustin, I really like this drone. I've seen several of your vids on it and some others, and it looks every bit as good as a Mavic to me, maybe better. But I've never flown a drone, and not real tech savvy. I don't own a cell phone, so I need advice on what you need for the controller, in order to watch the first person view while flying. Does an early generation iPad work, which cell phones work with it, and do you need to have cell service, a cell plan, in order to make it work, or will it work without cell service or an activated SIM card?
Great video Dustin.
My step son is flying a Mavic Pro...It's a little high priced for me (quite a bit actually).
This looks like it may be the one for me.
His Mavic will fly 5 miles (proved from his house to mine); however, I don't need that distance or
the 30 minutes flight time.
The camera seems to give all the resolution I need for finding camping and fishing spots in the Colorado mountains.
I just subscribed to your site.
Thank you again
BTW - didn't see if it needed a 5G.
Will it fly with an Android
Thanks. It works on Android or apple and controller plugs directly into phone so no wifi is needed in the field. If you have data (which a phone should) you'll be able to stream in the basemap.
I think you are right about the speed, it looks more like 4.5 metres per second, which is quite slow, not 4.5 MPH, which is VERY slow. It couldn't have been 4.5 MPH and allow you to get out more than two miles in 4 or 5 minutes!
