My x8se 2020 is still going strong. The only weakness of all the versions has been the gimbal. As you pointed out, adjusting the gimbal gain to minimum in colder weather cures most of the jello and stutter. I use my Mini 3 Pro for most flights now, but if I need to do a waypoint flight, or the wind is up, then the old x8se gets the call.

Pretty good review Steve. How you stay out in that cold is beyond me. For a sub-market type bird, it looks like that one has a lot to recommend it. I thought the colors looked good in normal mode. The 4K 30 is the only drawback I can think of so they may have a winner this time around.

I was going to point out that vibration. It was just visible a couple of times early in the video. We used call that the Jello effect, but you explained it well. I believe this Christmas I might be getting myself a Fimi X8 Pro as an updated medium sized drone to take my DJI Mavic Pros place. I can already drop stuff with my Mavic but I do like the megaphone and especially that price! By Christmas if there are bugs they will be found and corrected by then. Who knows something else might come along. There might be a new Vtol or Plane I want more. This past Christmas I bought the Potensic Atom 3 Axis for a Sub 250gram drone. (Great drone too) Potensic has updated it a couple of times since and it now has a zoom and a timer function. I believe they improved the gimbal level for some people too. I was fortunate and never had a problem with gimbal level. Good stuff as always my friend!

THANK YOU CAPITAN DRONE! I know there have been people outside the continental US that have done reviews on the pro, but glad you were able to get around to it. For under $700 tight now USD with two batteries, this drone is head and shoulders above anything else in it's class. For the US level 8 wind rate, is snow and light rain resistant, the larger sensor, and seems to do just about everything the Air 2 S would do. Is it perfect? No.. If you really want high speed slow motion in 4K then yes DJI would be better. Will this do just about everything and anything your average non consumer drone pilot would want? Yup. It's top end speed, and other features are all in line with other drones on the market. I thought they had a low light software option similar to the Autel. Maybe I was wrong on that.

The real problem with Fimi, as a company, is that they don't know how to keep their products in stock and how to coordinate their product offerings. For example, when they came out with the X8-Pro drone, the TX10A transmitter (RokLink capable and offering 15km video transmission range for the X8-Pro as well as HDMI-out to feed video to large external monitors) was not available anywhere for a very long time (a year or more). Rather, only the older TX10 (not RokLink capable) was in stock everywhere at the time. And now, the TX10A transmitter is finally available everywhere, but the X8-Pro drone is now out of stock everywhere, and appears to be replaced by the new X8-Tele drone. Problem here is, the X8-Tele drone only has a 10km video transmission range (obviously a big step in the wrong direction) and uses SokLink transmission technology which appears to be incompatible with the TX10A transmitter, and there is no mention of a compatible version of the TX10A in the works. The X8-Tele drone does now provide a dual camera system with 30x zoom capability. Frankly, I'd rather have the greater transmission range of the X8-Pro/TX10A than the super zoom capability of the X8-Tele. And to be perfectly blunt, they should have increased the flight range on the new X8-Tele offering to at least 20km, in order to compete with DJI's new O4 video transmission system which provides 20km. So, why not just be happy with the little RC controller that comes with the drone?....because my cellphone screen is not bright enough to be used outdoors in the sun, even with a sunshade. And of course, the TX10A transmitter offers lots of other benefits beyond the 15km transmission range and the bright integral display screen, such as all the extra assignable switches, knobs and buttons for shortcuts and advanced functionality.

Ever since DJI forced all mini 3/4 flyers to operate with remote ID on regardless what battery was being used has gotten the cold shoulder from many. That was the whole point to the mini series to fly without remote ID. But since they gave people the option to fly with a bigger battery they now force remote Id with it being permanently on. They could have easily let people use the “honor system” with the ability to turn on or off the ID pending battery size…Thankfully this far superior full size FIMI drone lets users manually turn off the remote ID.

I don't know what you think but to me that camera is beautiful. Both video and picture quality looks top notch. It's funny when the obstacle avoidance wasn't bleeping I thought ahh finally that is usually so annoying. I could see it being helpful if it didn't stop so it alerted you when you were close to something but it stops you so it doesn't need to blare. Yes Fimi seems to be on their game.

@madmax404
@madmax404 6 ай бұрын
When taking stills, you should bring the camera farther than a few meters as otherwise the focal distance of the drone will reduce the quality as that is not the intended use case. In addition of course you should zoom the pictures to 100% native size to show the actual quality, as by just fitting a 8000x6000 rectangle on a 16:9 video (often just 1440p or 1080p for actual users) won't show the real quality while the cropping/digital zooming capability is very valuable to looking at the photos from any screen. Considering I've had to wait for my Fimi to warm up before it agreed to fly, the drone/batteries absolutely do have temperature sensors on them, you can even see their output in the battery monitoring UI. It is interesting, though, that they don't automatically adjust the gimbal gain depending on the temperature. I'd guess it might also have some side effects

The two most important things in a flying camera (camera drone) are fly-ability and camera quality. This appears to satisfy both of those. I did find it interesting that Bangood has the option of two batteries but not for a US plug, only an EU plug. Maybe it comes with an adapter. For under $700 w/2 batteries, it looks like a viable option, especially if it doesn't have any geofencing. I couldn't see what amount the discount code allows because I'd have to log in first and I didn't want to make an account at this time.

The vivid setting reminds me of early Fuji color film. Over-saturated. It's useful, but not preferable. The low light video is amazing. It's not overly brightened, but it's still easy to see details in the shadows. The lack of backwards compatibility for the battery is more than disappointing. There's absolutely no technical reason for the older batteries to bot be used so far as I can tell. The only possibility I can think of is the latching system not being fully compatible, offering a risk of the older batteries becoming separated from the air-frame. Barring that, the bird should fly with the older batteries, but Fimi is choosing to not allow that.

Great review Steve, as always. I'll bet now that you pointed out the Hula sensor, they will fiz it with a software update. Oh hey, Speaking of FIMI how about the Manta??? when are you going to review it???

I turned down reviewing the Manta. Most of my viewers are kinda new to the RC hobby and the Manta requires someone deep into the hobby to add the missing parts and configuration.

I loved this review but I wish you'd have mentioned if you could get a much better battery or not.
@CAPTAINDRONE798
@CAPTAINDRONE798 5 ай бұрын
Yes. In the review I had the basic battery and not the high capacity battery, which simply means it does not come with the high capacity battery and you have to buy it separately.

These drones are cool, but the place you live in blows me away! Ice fishing huts?? I'm pretty sure nobody I know has ever heard of these. There's nowhere within hours of me where you would be away from people like this. I haven't been in wilderness like this since I was a little kid.

Nice review. I would have liked to have seen you check out the colour presets - those are messed up with the X8 2022 version. Auto white balance does a decent job, but shows noticeable changes as you pass over varying terrain. Sunny and Cloudy are way off, and we have to use Fluorescent, which is pretty close but not perfect.
@CAPTAINDRONE798
@CAPTAINDRONE798 5 ай бұрын
Sounds like your white balance is on AUTO. Setting the white balance or exposure or frame rate or aperture on a drone is only effective if you keep the camera pointing in the exact same direction, so most people leave everything on AUTO and it is up to the intelligence of the camera to continually change the settings, which then results in what you’ve noticed.

I’m a subscriber to your channel &I enjoyed your review of the FIMI X8 Pro drone. Does this FIMI X8 Pro drone have geofencing similar to the geofencing in DJI drones?
@CAPTAINDRONE798
@CAPTAINDRONE798 3 ай бұрын
There is no geofencing in my area with the FIMI, but there is geofencing with DJI drones in the same area.

And it can walk the dog, wash the dishes, cut the hedge, and play violin left handed. Very versatile. Except...................it does not have follow-me but only optical tracking. Now I have nothing against optical tracking. But anyone riding a bike will know that follow-me is way more user-friendly in real life. And Fimi had it! The follow-me on the A3 was the best ever! Why why why do drone companies keep removing it? Fimi, C-Fly, Potensic, DJI, for some reason they all believe optical tracking is superior. It's not. It's different, but not better. Ask anyone cycling around the world, nobody uses active-track.

@@johnegan9063Sounds like you’re uploading the Low Res version to KZbin. If you record in 4K your file is large on the micro SD card. If you upload that large file to KZbin then KZbin shows a 4K video. If you goof up and upload a 720p video, you get 720p. How can you goof up? Well, you could do something silly and upload the files off your phone or even worse you could upload the LRV files off the micro SD card (those are low res 720p files of anything you recorded). You’ll figure it out.
