Fimi Mini v3 | Finally some DJI competition

[@psoon04286]

Good to see the competition taking a more serious path , not just another cheap disposable. Good luck to Femi

[@chris]

What we NEED isn't another Chinese company trying to best DJI. We need a USA company to do so.

[@HalfChrome]

I’m with you. But until someone steps up this is what we have.

[@Network23AndMore]

Well, start up that company mate!

[@kanohane]

Nah...China is cheaper

[@YourdailydoseofShorts-un5vi]

Good luck with that 😂 Nobody will buy overpriced stuff "Made in USA"

[@edittide9842]

Hating the Chinese won’t MAGA😂 You Trumpers….. honestly🤷

This is a great review of the Fimi Mini v3 drone! It seems like a great option for those looking for a sub-250g drone with a lot of features. The Al night mode and the 48 megapixel photos are particularly impressive. I also like that the drone comes with a carrying case and extra props. Overall, the Fimi Mini v3 seems like a great value for the price. It's definitely a drone to consider if you're in the market for a new sub-250g drone.

[@HalfChrome]

Thanks. Options are good for everyone.

[@micahwilgus]

If the company wants to be a good option to DJI they need to make a pro version as well. One that can shoot JPEG RAW for photos and have options so you can color grade your videos

[@richardhykes6939]

Nit to shabby. I have the first one an v2. Waiting on v 3 thanks for sharing. Keep on flying.

[@samholdsworth420]

Like a mini 4 pro? Lol

[@MrRaymond1021]

I believe I've seen a video of this drone next to the DJI 4K and it was better than the DJI. I have to admit that I was surprised to see it pro-form so good. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

[@samholdsworth420]

Not better than a mini 4 pro

Company: we need to compete with Dji. Also Company: ok let’s make an orange drone. SAID ALL DJI COMPETITORS EVER!

[@WildCaptures]

This looks like a great budget drone thanks for the link it’s on the way 👍

[@HalfChrome]

Good luck with it!

[@RonaldBrown59]

I was quite surprised by how good the video and photo quality was on this drone. A big improvement over previous Fimi drones I have tested out. Great review Jack, and thanks for sharing.

[@HalfChrome]

Thanks for watching

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

the problem is if your going to be competition for dji , you have to ether be superior or cheaper . dji is proven as well as there customer service!

[@BlairAir]

I like Fimi.. had a few Fimi X8SE models, the original X8 Mini wasn't all that, but they have improved it over time. It only took 3 years to come out with the orange colored one LOL - it's a good Mini 4K Mini 2 alternative, assuming you get it on sale. They also have a super value Smart Controller that's programable, but It didn't support their Mini Model when I tried it a year or more back.

[@chriswaldron2617]

DJI has competition? 🤣 Hardly

[@MiltonPapaioannou-qd7tf]

Maybe you would like to think so ? But do you own both DJI and fimi ? Those that do will give you heaps of reasons but I will tire listing them ..!!! There are many reasons why I'll take it easy with my DJI models while I'll risk the fimi more times and there so damn dependable handle wind better and too many etc.. As for camera well they come second , but damn close there too

[@alainboyer7891]

if you have time ...test rolink vs solink....i think rolink more range

[@larrybowers64]

Very informative video, no wasted words. Also you have a very clear, pleasant speaking voice. New sub 4 U

[@HalfChrome]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback

[@steveday2022]

We need smart controllers vs using our phones like DJI has already done...that would put them a big step in the right direction.

[@underthedrone2735]

A nice option. It would be great if they could buy the rights to use the Nano+ camera in these since Autel has all but left the consumer market.

[@neuromancer692]

Seems to be a trend of companies suddenly dipping out of the consumer market once they are somewhat competitive to Dji.

[@dellcoc]

The motors on that thing are way too loud. At least they were in my Hobby shop.

[@genefoxgreenmountaindroning]

Thanks yea I love my fimi x820 20 se

[@crazymotorcycle]

Dji have set the standards so high it seems like it is hard to challenge. What is this new drone like in the long term ? what will the resale market be like when you want to upgrade?.

[@HalfChrome]

Hard to predict long term value

[@FlyingBuzzard]

To make any drone "the best" they must eliminate the cell phone When you have a controller that has it all inside that makes a HUGE Difference because even today with such great tech many places cell phone use gets screwed up, signal loss , no signal and on and on that goes PLUS all cell phones can be tracked so even without RID your cell phone may as well be RID. I have a old FIMI A3 and the controller has everything in it. Of course it is not like all the newer FIMI's But it did pretty well and still can, It just did not have the range etc as the newer ones and it is larger and well above 250 gram so it would require a RID module today. Still a very good drone

[@HalfChrome]

That will make it more expensive

[@FlyingBuzzard]

@@HalfChrome true BUT far better in my opinion

[@toneydefreitas5630]

I don't care,once u show me a good drone that isn't stamped dji,I'll try it...

[@timothypope5300]

How do you compare this to spectra mini drone. Which is your preference and why? Thank you.

[@HalfChrome]

Specta is as good but cheaper.

[@MarcusSternberg]

I found Fimi was a let down when it came to getting spare parts. So now I avoid them.

[@videosinfrench9928]

What's the point of having a six mile range? What are the odds that a pilot could fly high enough to have the controller keep contact with the drone?

[@HalfChrome]

Better signal quality at closer range

[@dirtyerneye]

Does the fimi have geo fencing?

[@HalfChrome]

Nope

[@StatusQuo209]

​@@HalfChromeDoes it have restrictions on how high you can fly?

[@HalfChrome]

@StatusQuo209 you are limited to 400AGL by law…

[@StatusQuo209]

​@@HalfChromeyes, totally. Does the app restrict you? Just wondering.

The mini se is a two axis version with EIS.

[@ErnestPJay]

4:44 why you take out the sd.card.from the aircraft? Cant you download footages from the app?

[@HalfChrome]

Yes. But SD card is highest quality.

[@kflip4538]

Did they send you a fimi mini 3 se yet to review?

[@HalfChrome]

No

[@markmaxwell2765]

How is customer service, reliability, and quality control?

[@HalfChrome]

Amazon Cs is great if you buy there. Too early for reliability and QC from Xiaomi is better than most in the same price range.

Half chrome thanks for the fimi mini 3 review Can i pliz have the fiji mini 3 if your no more using it pliz ibeg I stay in Zimbabwe in Bulawayo morning side 2penrth ibeg of you

[@tyronecastillo16]

Hi, I got this drone last week. Great drone but mine came with a dead pixel. I did hit a cardboard box in my garage when I did some initial tests and it turned upside down According to FIMI support, this VOIDED the warranty. I sent them the very first video and it shows the dead pixel but still the warranty is void. Btw, I tried to get their Care Refresh equivalent but that isn't offered on the FM3. They could be a great competitor to DJI as the drone is fantastic for the given price but it's a bit silly to void the warranty on such a minor "crash". No marks, no visual damage whatsoever. Great drone otherwise imo

[@HalfChrome]

Did you get it on Amazon? They will take a return

[@tyronecastillo16]

@@HalfChrome Nah, I bought from AliExpress. Amazon AU doesn't sell it. Support are at least somewhat responsive. Just not the outcome I wanted but then again, apparently any crash can do a lot of damage. I'm in 2 minds if I should get another Fimi Mini 3 or switch to Potensic Atom. Need to do more research and move up the Support as a higher priority.

[@AlliedAirsoft]

I got this drone and it arrived today. I put in my 32gb sd card and it had a card read error. Tried formatting the card using the drone itself, and it ruined the card. So be careful when trying to format the card. Not sure what format the SD cards are supposed to use. Also, the version I got from amazon did not come with a charging brick.

[@samholdsworth420]

Is it a high-speed card?

[@AlliedAirsoft]

@@samholdsworth420 yes, it was. I had no issues using the card in other cameras. I got a new card and the drone accepted it.
