[@gilvelosoferreira9386]

Hey m8, loved ur vid ! I was thinking about getting the x8 or the mavic mini, which one is better in ur opinion :)?

[@DustinDunnill]

Both a good choice depending on your needs. Main differences are 4K resolution, weight,wind resistance and app functions

[@Flip2Flower1]

Dustin Dunnill coupon expired, got another? Best price I can find is for right now is $550

[@destryl1076]

That link does not work 404 page not found just FWI

[@DustinDunnill]

Thank you for letting me know. I think it's fixed now 🍻

[@eduh7721]

The software, the price, the range, autonomy, video quality... All is perfect with this drone, i'm impressed.

[@Nicoalexhernandez]

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 !

[@dannys.6148]

Awesome review + landscape + commentary! Thanks Dustin, Aloha from Southeast Florida.

[@Superlazy97]

no matter how many times i look x8 se front head, its really looks like starwars troopers 😂

[@johncarold]

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 !

[@YourBassNeeds]

Nice to keep updated with this drone!

[@JSKCKNIT]

Amazing flight! The scenery never gets old. Thanks for the review.

[@hambo6969]

Close to buying one of these. Awesome review series. Thanks

[@renotimberwolf2139]

Great reviews! You test exactly what I want to know about! Range, performance, flight times! Can’t wait for you next test!

[@adrianmutya6653]

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..

[@DustinDunnill]

I'm flattered Adrian. Thank you 🙂🍻

[@deezyysdronereviewsanddeal4982]

Adrian Mutya u got that right. Dustin has been a huge inspiration to me along my short journey. He is the best.. GOAT

[@DRONETREADONME]

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!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Another great range test Dustin. The Fimi X8 did very well, it went the distance.

[@davidcasanova5820]

Notification squad! I'm so hyped about this drone.. Order placed already thanks to you ;)

[@dronereviewman9580]

I 100% AGREE!!!!! This looks like such a nice drone!!!!

[@brianevans4]

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!

[@ralphwoodard609]

Great test there Justin. And also fantastic Scenery. 

[@darringallant]

Great flight Dustin, going to watch how the boosters do now!

[@ema_9115]

nice video as always. I wait for the next !!

[@GulfCoastTim]

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

[@AlanHunt73]

Great video with stunning views 👍

[@robertredzich7292]

First time here. Looks like a channel that I'll be coming back to often thank you

[@tonymcclendon-hobbytime7727]

Awesome review and flight Dustin! Over 3 miles. Wow!

[@bnfl23]

Can't wait for the test with the Parabolic

[@dansmith8550]

Nice detailed review again Dustin. Always enjoy.

[@rbmwiv]

Videos are awesome. Such a beautiful place to live. I have been a couple of times and it’s amazing.

[@karldunn1464]

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.

[@yalcnkarakoc2707]

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!

[@hankbe111]

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.

[@bruhdabones]

hankbe111 Nice. Looks like you’re into quality. I have a CR-V that’s really good too.

[@brucexu5972]

how is the fimi x8 so far??

[@ncruze07]

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.

[@DustinDunnill]

Yes, that's why I'm testing it so much. A viable company and drone option to disrupt the market and benefit the consumers 👍

[@Martillo_de_Dios]

Wow, That’s pretty good! And $75 off with a code… Sweet! Great video Dustin thanks for all your vids, really do enjoy them!

[@gazd1383]

Cheers Dustin. Nother nice video mucker.

[@gdhall5311]

Really good review Dustin.

[@DustinDunnill]

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

[@horacegray2417]

Hopefully they do well so dji has to drop there prices to Compete

[@stevenmauer5054]

I agree.

[@grahamhardy4698]

And I agree,that why my price range is around the Anafi/Fimi range.

[@BassManStrikes]

Nice can't wait to see the parabolic test out in the country 😀

[@kltalsma]

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.

[@mrguitman99]

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.

[@4shotsofficial]

Another great review sir! i like this drone!

[@foamyflightmaster9385]

Great video, GPS accuracy + - 1metre on landing, nice commentary. Might even buy one...

[@jixodu]

Great! Can't wait to see in the same place, same route but with antenna booster

[@masterpdj2623]

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!

[@DustinDunnill]

👍

[@lmfd08]

Love your videos 👍🏼

[@ratchfordgeorge]

You rock Dustin!!

[@RodneyBellco72]

Nice!!! Seems like it might be a cheaper alternative to the Mavick. Well Done Dustin!

[@BBooka]

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.

[@TheFishbook]

Another GREAT Video Dustin! BTW, I used your code to buy my X8 THANKS!!

[@richayala220]

Hello i tried to use the coupon and its not working any ideas please

[@xoxoj]

That place is so beautiful I subbed

[@Top-Jimmy]

Honestly didn't think it was going to make 4.80km - Pretty impressive. About to watch the video with boosters... Cheers Dustin!

[@BennyH11]

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?

[@DustinDunnill]

Lag time but DJI has taken care of it with their new goggle system

[@Carraroebouncingcastles]

WOW GREAT TEST 3 MILES YOU WOULD NEVER THINK IT WOULD GO THAT FAR 👍👍👍👍👍

[@pdtech4524]

Awesome range test! Very impressive stock range😎👍

[@richberry1875]

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!

[@Taematoe]

That range is right up with dji. Not bad, pretty perfect area for the test.

[@uksewingmachineservice7030]

Great flying there mate nice range test really good mate nice one don 🤠🇬🇧👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@sivonja900]

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.

[@Invernomuto]

oh finally a range test in a beautiful land !!! :)

[@jiricermoch3343]

perfect work ... quite a lot of it

[@jihadjong369]

We missed a lot country range test And been waiting for while

[@5tarman724]

Brilliant series of reviews on the Fimi X8, thanks. I too have a iPad Air 2 and wondered what bracket you are using?

[@DustinDunnill]

In description right?

Excellent distance range to low price drone!

[@deadhungryfpv4510]

Wow! Awesome range test Dustin.. I think we can modify the 5.8g antenna of the drone.. 🤔

[@edwardwester5968]

Great test l am thinking about ordering not sure l must watch some more Reviews thanks

[@randytrivette6618]

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

[@DustinDunnill]

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 👍

[@DustinDunnill]

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

[@jeffpitt3213]

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

[@lagz89]

Great videos

[@bugsrunner4855]

Nice video. Like this one. 👍👍

[@overfly_pt]

I love your channel good tuturials and good videos sucesse 👍👏👏👏👏👌

[@alancarter8396]

Another great video from the master, I would be interested in your answer to Randy Trivett question, regarding putting the boosters on when you are at extreme range, looking forward to the next one

[@Radostenator]

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.

[@useryggfdcc]

I did many Precision landing tests now, see my videos, and PLs WORK 100%!!

[@Radostenator]

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.

[@lukappaseidue]

u r simply the best

[@scottgibson6735]

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

[@DustinDunnill]

You bet. The EVO does have a great camera indeed 👍

[@MrDiemX]

For some reason your reviews are sooooo relaxed to watch. How about doing some more race drone reviews :-) Would be awesome.

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks, I plan to. There's a lot to keep up with 🙂🍻

[@cortesglen5498]

awesome range test!! 😊😊😰😱

[@italikid]

Wooooooow. Amazing drone for the price. I gotta have it.

[@DRONESSC]

Great vídeo...

[@rohailali8885]

Great video

[@krisarkhon6483]

Top as usual. Simple and clear. Is the fpv view better since the firmware update ? the videos on sd seems pretty good.

[@stevenmauer5054]

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..

[@RICKHALBUR]

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

[@grahamhardy4698]

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.😁.

[@DK1864dizzy]

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

[@grahamhardy4698]

@@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.

[@romanhauthaler9905]

thx for the nice Video 🙏

[@jeremyboyce1537]

hi dustin you are the distance champ

[@stevenmauer5054]

Love to see you do a range test with the SJRC F11, compare it to this drone!!

[@customsrusprincalifornia2284]

That is great video

[@overfly_pt]

Gooood rangeeeee 👌

[@hobbychanel5798]

hello good test

[@mopar392ta3]

Wow I’ll take that “garbage” comment I made on the first video. Looks like a very promising drone bro. Nice review

[@MrTrazz09]

ive heard in one of your videos that your a fan of stormtrooper, now that looks like a stormtrooper😊

[@sergiohenrique9193]

Very good.

[@syntax_error01]

Absolutely great review, just when I'm looking for an alternative other than Mavic/Mavic2...ow is that a smoke grenade?🙃

[@jocasimoes2222]

parabolic !!!??!! Good test👍

[@MrZpilot]

Beautiful Truck and awsome drone for $$$😎👍👍👍

[@jihadjong369]

We love to watch the mavic 2 and parrot anafi country range test as well plz

[@PixelSheep]

One question - which mic are you using? :) Nice video as always btw :D

[@camgreer]

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?

[@cryhavoc38]

excellent video. Hey Xiomi, its not "Failsafe Retrun" ;)

[@DroneUpp]

Interesting drone Dustin! Man, I was I lived in Hawaii!!!! You must be in heaven there!!! LOL!

[@hundsam2929]

4:22 looks like watching over from plane

[@psj_0125]

Wowwwwwwww very good

[@MrStrikeforce1987]

The view is amazing. Hope to visit Hawaii someday!

[@b14ckyy]

The first thing I noticed... They finally fixed the HS and VS values 😂

[@davidcasanova5820]

On iOs its works, its on android that it fails, Dustin Dunnill can confirm that maybe.

[@DustinDunnill]

Correct Android still needs some updates for readings to be corrected

[@rychiecarlvinrhee]

epiccc 15km wowwww thatt awesome

[@Usatorok]

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, KZbin, 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

[@deezyysdronereviewsanddeal4982]

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?

[@wwmilanl]

Hello , Thanks for your video, impressive range, test, in the City what do you think will be the range??? considering al the Radio noise in the city?

[@woutervanwijk4369]

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.

[@DustinDunnill]

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 😂✌️
