You should do this test by actually flying until you lose signal. The way the signal indicator works on these drones is not exactly the same and it always varies by manufacturer. I.e. 3 bars on the DJI Mini and 3 bars on the FIMI can actually be very different with one having significantly better signal.
Unfortunately, I can't in my country. If I post a video of this, someone would report me to the police. 🙁
I was just trying to highlight that either one of these drones signal wise perform well if you're in a country with vlos rules. 👍
A youtube channel that will be valued in the future who does this job properly. We are following!
I agree Robins you tube gives great tips
Robin and Drew (The Drone Guy) are the best non-sponsored reviewers of mini drones by far. Markus (Idaho Quadcopter) is another fav, but not sure how much he is sponsored.
Think Robin gives 110% in every you tube I will check out the others but Robin will be hard to beat
Thanks for your kind words 👍
That Fimi mini V3 is getting very impressive. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Yeh, I like it more than I thought I would!
There are some downsides, some funny little quirks,which I will make a video about.
One example of this is I tried to record an 8k hyperlapse(no other drone offers this), and it uses so much proccesor power that the fpv feed seemed like around 3 fps.
It was actually unflyable!
But all drones have strengths and weaknesses such as,
Both my dji minis have gimbal knock on normal and sports mode.
Atom has a small sensor.
It's just a shame that the Fimi isn't available on Amazon yet..
I have a bunch of DJI drones, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, AIR 2S, AIR 3, DJI FPV Drone, all are Fly More Combos. I just got the Autel Evo Lite +, Premium bundle on the 18th, & I just got the Potensic Atom 3 Axis Gimbal, Fly More Combo yesterday. I haven't opened the Autel or Potensic yet. I've taken my DJI AIR 3, out over 5 and a half miles, & still had all bars of signal strength, except one, and returned with 32% battery life remaining. I love DJI drones.
Yep, Dji seems like it definitely has the most robust signal.
But for vlos flying, these 3 work well.
I get many people worried about the signal of a non dji drone that why I done this video.
Wow your a drone addic like me.
How long have you been flying?
@RobinDrones Lol ya I am definitely a drone addict. I've been flying since late 2021.
Video quality from all three of these drones looked very good.
Yep, I think, though, that the dji has the most true colour profile.
But the image is too dark.
The fimi and the Potensic look better to me-more vibrant colours with a brighter image 👍
But some won't like the colours
Great testing mate nicely done
Thanks Johnny👍
Very nice tests 😀
Thanks! 😀
Brilliant tests Robin the toy or Fimi drone comes out top dog eh your neighbours must be good flying over their properties around me they would be knocking at my door.
I've had no complaints yet..
I was just trying to show that either one of these drones are excellent signal wise flying vlos, even with our low power CE mode 👍
I fly DJI drones from Phantom 2,3 to Mavic Pro to Zoom and I praise these products. But out of these tested I elevate the Potensic which is a very capable drone for small and friendly money in a combo version. The range can go up to 5km and the battery holds very well the promised minutes the drone is in the air from the manufacturer. Worth a Potensic for consideration. Yes I still prefer the Mini 4 over it despite these tests,but the Potensic interests me too.
One good thing with the Potensic is that it fully charges all the batteries at the same time very quickly. 👍
But yeh mini 4 is very very hard to beat!
DJI has Superior radio technology at this point...
I just took my potenaic atom 2 miles off the coast of San Diego over the ocean without any breakup.
My biggest gripe with it (atom) the latency and the low light.
I fly two drones every day. My atom and my DJI FPV.
Good review mate ! I got the fimi mini 3 and i am impressed however the cable hose ( black mesh ) in one of the hinges of one wing came apart and you can see the wires in it as well the mesh looks all messed at the end, will have to see what they have to say to this one.
Yes, i have exactly the same issue, I put a photo of it in the community section on my channel. One other guy has the same issue also, he said it's nothing to worry about 🤔
Can you try master airscrew propellers for the DJI Mini 4K please?
Thank you! 😀
I have actually never changed any props on any drone I own yet...
I actually think if there was a better design of props, dji would use them anyway. Plus, I'm a bit nervous removing them as they are such a critical component of the aircraft. But maybe one day I'll try them...
Actually, if I happen to break or damage a prop, I will try them then. 😉
there is a new update for the mini 4 came out yesterday its a big update its supposed to help what you have tested on these drones
A good/valid test that shows the Fimi Mini 3, The Potensic Atom and DJI Mini 4K can fly 500m with good signal strength.
How much further?
Thanks for the test.
Thanks 😄
I'm "guessing" that the mini 4k could do 3km
Potensic 2km
Fimi 2km
And possibly all of a lot further than that.
@@RobinDrones Nope, fimi mini 3 got much better range than the potensic according to my test.
Never test 2.4 GHz drones with a 2.4 GHz microphone. It's really bad for a range test. lot of interference.
Yes, I've seen others mention this, but honestly, I've never had an issue.
Why just 500m? Better to test til signal loss.
My test where I live. Fimi Mini 3 flies 650m. DJI Mini 2 flies 1.1km
PS. Your location appears to be a low congested wifi area so signal should be good for every drone you fly there.
Because that means they will be flying outside of visual line of sight, and uploading a video of that is self incriminating
Yep, the UK youtube drone police will be all over that!
Yeh, but that would be beyond VLOS.
I would think my are would be high interference as the house are bunched up like most areas here in the 🇬🇧
@@RobinDrones I understand. You are a legit channel so need to fly legal. I'll need find some Asian or Russian channel to get better range tests.
Good test for people who fly drones while standing on a 20 foot ladder.
Why not do this standing on the ground?
Because I needed a clear line of site. And I was actually trying to simulate wifi interference by flying from inside and over houses 👍
I always find the tallest point to fly from... Sometimes I stand on my truck
I was able to get almost two miles over the Pacific Ocean with my Atom with no breakup... I think rth kicked in at 1.8 or 1.9 MI
The atom also has no problem hitting a mile over populated areas... however after a mile itll start to get iffy over heavily populated areas
2.25mi / 3345(?)m is my farthest away record on potensic atom :) standing at one end of 1/8mi street & flying past other end for no obstructions down low by me is key :) i use sport mode so not sure if normal would get me farther since it returns because of intelligent low battery alert.. i use the 5el yagis too.
@@carlthomas5481 nice... I'm pretty sure I was flying in normal mode. The intelligent battery kicked in the rth and by the time I got back I still had 20% battery
It still amazes me how far these drones can actually travel battery wise and signal!
I feel like there's really only like 3 drones. There's DJI, and then there's all the other drone brands, which seem like they're all just rebrands or slight design tweaks, with some cost cuts or an extra feature here and there, from only like 2 different OEMs. The budget, like $150 to $400, I mean.
Yep, true, though I don't think potensic and Fimi are connected though.
It's like you either get the dji mini 4 or save some cash and get one of these with all of the extra features.
Boa tarde amigo lindo vídeo és um grande CZcamsr, lindos vídeos que fazes lindos drones são todos lindos e bons fãs mais vídeos desses tudo de bom para ti e para a tua família tamos juntos amigo muitas felicidades e muitas conquistas boas e muito lindo às paisagens parabéns amigo.🇵🇹❤️🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👏👏🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 😊
Mini 4 k is the best
Yeh, it's hard to beat the quality.
But there's not many features on the mini 4k. That's is its weakness
Thats not a signal test. You certainly didn’t go the distance you could have. People don’t understand radio waves. You said the fimi should have the worst. Thats just not true. 2.4ghz will go much further then 5.8. The reason they have both is for disturbance, not distance. The dji is just ridiculous. Control, control, control. They dumb down that signal to cotrol you. They are much more capable.
Unfortunately, I couldn't go any further in my country as it's illegal.
I was just trying to highlight the fact that all of these signal wise perform well with vlos flying.
Yeh, 5.8 is a narrower channel but doesn't suffer with interference. I'm guessing it's good for city flying ect
This is the O3+ from dji mavic 3:
2.4 GHz：
Well, I received my fimi mini 3 today and it it's night mode and transmission range are both garbage as of right now ! I am used to go 10km total with my potensic and even my mavic mini could do much better than the fimi mini 3. This thing started do lose video transmission as soon as I reached 400 meters, if I turned the drone it would lose signal and return to home. Tried both 5.8 and 2.4GHz and it sucks. Sorry, but right now this drone sucks for night and for any serious range in any small city !!! 9.7km with potensic atom czcams.com/video/Aa1SOM0e2g4/video.html The FCC report shows that the fimi mini 3 got that crap bullet style 2.4GHz antenna of the fimi mini v2 plus a 5.8GHz antenna and so the problems and ridiculous latency of the mini v2 will apply here with the fimi mini 3 too. There is no dual band antennas like on the DJI mini 4k or anything else DJI got in the market. The potensic Atom got DUAL 2.4GHz antennas instead of a single 2.4GHz antenna. Every idiot knows that for range you use 2.4GHz, not 5.8GHz.
The potensic does not have enough battery to fly 10 km et get back home.
@@mast3rbugI went with it 9.7km totak and still had 30% battery left. With lvl 5, 6 and 7 gusts it went 17 minutes. It got the signal and the battery life to achieve that while filming in 4k for the most part. czcams.com/video/Aa1SOM0e2g4/video.html . Figures I am not alone, there are plenty of examples of 12km total !
at 385m/1200ft+ hi? that prolly helps - and oh, you went 9.7km total..4k out oh...
@@carlthomas5481 129 meters high. Not a fanboy, i just have the 3 main drones at that price tag and the FIMI mini 3 is by far the worst of the tree at everything. Its 4k video is blurry, night mode is garbage, there is a gigantic delay in commands once you go 300 meters and the range is just pathetic as the signal is really weak right now. I had hopes I could keep the FIMI but now I just want to get rid of it and never look back.
Come on, don't be so rude, I got the fimi mini 3 and potensic atom also, I did a side-by-side test with them, fimi mini 3 is much better in range.
What's the point..? But you scored a msg.. Pointless exercise..
I would have loved to fly further, but that's illegal in my country 🇬🇧. The CZcams police would tell the police! 🚔 🙄
Any one of these drones signals is good for vlos flying. That's what I was trying to show..
@@RobinDrones yes we know..
Said it before feel sorry for yu guys in UK..
Come to aus were there only a handful of Karen's...
That's all otherwise be sensible and fly as far as you can...
You won't have the same Paranoia here...
Oh don't bring it with you please..!!
I was so looking forward to you "chucking them out the window" 🤣 Did your wife realize you have turned your bedroom into your new studio?? 😉
Man that countryside you live by is nothing short of gorgeous. You can't beat British countryside full stop.
Great test and if nothing it does confirm that either one of these drones regardless of their radio type are more than acceptable for LOS up to 500M. Would love to see a "how far can they actually fly" demo ..... 🥸
Ha ha, she was actually out when I filmed that video.
Yes, the countryside I take for granted as it's always been there and I've always lived in England.
I would think the same about Canada that looks amazing in the wilderness 😀
I can't really do a range test, a small minority here in the UK are drone police on CZcams. They would report me to the Caa or police they get you by your car number plate. It happened to "windswept robert" have you heard of him?
@@RobinDrones Fly safely.
