FIMI X8 SE 2020 - BETTER 5 MONTHS LATER? THERE ARE IMPROVEMENTS...

[@QCGUY]

For a handful that don’t get it..... I am simply making a video of what works and what doesn’t along with sharing image quality and my color corrections. I’m not saying it’s a bad quad, I’m not saying don’t buy it and I’m not saying you get what you pay for either. I always show pro’s and con’s and give fixes when applicable and that’s what you’re getting here. No fluff and no misleading video content here.... thanks ✌️🧡

[@kenduejones]

Thanks & great job on video!👈🏾😎😎

[@tampadroneography]

I've actually purchased the Fimi X8 SE 2020.. Honestly it's a great quad.. Way better than what I thought.. Thanks for content ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@alic7745]

Great Vid, the ' over travel' is actually the Gimbal which moves slower than the drone. It happened on my X8 after one of the many updates. I think you can fix this by adjusting the Gimbal speed in the settings.

[@WilliamJones-nq6is]

@QC GUY hi, what video settings are you using? IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!

[@QCGUY]

@@WilliamJones-nq6is Thanks it’s in the video. Must have skipped past it. 5:00 to 8:30 should help you some.

[@bulldogboy100]

Whilst I can appreciate those that bought this drone for doing photography and videography in regards to the concerns that they have. I'm neither a photographer nor a videographer I love my Fimi it is so much better than the first drone I owned so I have no problem with it at all

[@ChrisKueppers]

It's a 360$USD unit delivered. That aside a similarly sized drone is twice that price at least, upwards of 1400$. Comparisons have to be taken with a grain of salt. You are going to give something up for the cost difference. Now not saying the issues aren't annoying, they definitely are. But FIMI is not a drone specific company like DJI Fimi is a small electronics company. Phones, tablets, cameras, headphones so they do not have the dedication of support. It is nice to see some updates and I hope it continues. I'd say it definitely is the best bang for the buck.

[@QCGUY]

Chris Kueppers I agree and we are use to lower budget quads camera quality which is fine but the gimbal.....no no no Just my opinion and expectations along with sharing what I see and what I can improve upon in the camera. I’m not saying it’s a bad quad but a few things should at least work. Thanks

[@2010joeduffy]

Owned it for 2 weeks, 9 flights so far with tons of video, getting an hour of footage on 2 batteries and I have it max'd to 5km range and 500m height. 500m height no problem, i am getting maybe 2.5km range however i am in northern cal suburbia, i did buy the antenna extensions, super cheap but they do make a big difference in preventing it defaulting to "fail safe return" way too early. Sport mode is super fast and the gimbal is very good. Really good drone and i would rate well above the DJI mavic mini. Best drone on the market right now is Autel Evo 2, then the DJI mavic pro 2 .... .and I think this Fimi 2020 is a super close 3rd, maybe i got a good one based on other reivews. very very good value for $$$'s at $400 and very very wind capable, will post footage from Bodega bay and out at Farallon islands soon in tough conditions

[@travelcanada8817]

Thank you for this honest review. I purchased this Drone a few months ago and have had the same issues. I had the 2018 version and actually thought the camera produced a better image. I wish there was more honest reviews like this and not just people out of " Idaho" saying it's great and probably making a comisson. I wish wish I would have paid the extra money and got the air 2

[@QCGUY]

Mr. Idunno Idaho is one that will only point out the stuff he can't hide. Mostly he pretends not to notice as he plays dumber then dumb but watching how he fly's now about two years into this hobby on KZbin and he still can't make a stable drone do stable commands. Some just like to drop to their knees and swallow I guess. As for the 2018 version I think it was always too dark in image but as you see here that's easier to work with in editing. I originally was going to sell it after getting the 2020 but still holding on just in case.

[@travelcanada8817]

@@QCGUY haha Drop to his knees. Agree with the darker image for sure. I shot all the drone shots in this video using the 2018 Verizon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGraqqd-nMRprtk I used log profile and put a lut on it. Lol I am not great at color grading. I followed your method today and shot manually with the 2020. Much appreciated! My clouds werent blown and I got a much better image. It would have been almost usable if not for the horizon tilt (I could probably zoom In a bit in post and rotate the image to correct this) What did you do in the editing process to to bring back your colors? Did you just play with some curves and add a lut?? Cheers and thanks again!

[@QCGUY]

Tyler Beaton Yes after applying a LUT with subtle changes I then just made small adjustments but often find auto fix does pretty good depending on how dark I start at.

[@andrewdutton3831]

Actually, I like the "dampening" quality of the keft and right pans...where it "over-travels" as you say. Sudden stops are jarring for the viewer, and seem like a security camera. For me, the dampening is a feature (perhaps unintended) that I was looking for. Really good zoom cameras will do that as well. They will ease in and ease out of the zoom, rather than stopping suddenly. Anyhow, color looks great. i just ordered one.

[@Northstar-Media]

The video quality is good .It's a £300 quad & best midrange quad .

[@QCGUY]

Agent A thats one opinion 👍

[@frankgibson504]

You can calibrate the Gimbel to fix the horizon. And i found it does that in sport mode not as much in lower speeds. It stops good..

[@QCGUY]

Made videos on it brother....thanks

[@carlosincote7163]

Thanks for sharing this video. What filters do you recommend to use with X8 2020?

[@QCGUY]

I use the anafi filters but you have to tape them on. There’s filters for this quad but all very generic.

[@rpguy4]

Hi Chris, Thank you for doing the video. Very nicely done. Couple questions : Assuming that you left Gimbal Pitch, Gimbal Gain, and the Gain & Expo settings all to the default, would adjusting any of these settings help with turning to far left or right when you let off the sticks? You mentioned at the beginning of the video a six side calibration ? What or how do you do a six side calibration ? Thanks again

[@QCGUY]

rpguy4 Yes it helps to adjust the settings but I wanted to show the issue first before doing anything to show how to make it easier. It shouldn’t be this way so I do what I do and put it out there unlike many. The six sided calibration needs to be unlocked to us it. I got mine unlocked when I had a issue with the original X8 and somehow it’s unlocked in this app version as well. Full IMU calibration accentually.

[@rpguy4]

@@QCGUY Appreciate the response. Thank you

[@Droneguy-be1fy]

I sold my X8 2020 and got a Mavic 2 Zoom complete different class of drone! I know the price difference is huge but il never go back from DJI now :) I had no end of connection issues requiring repeated re starts to get it to connect nearly every time I flew it and the horizon problem is a big one. Also my gimbal would have random erratic movements straight down while flying and ruined lots of footage. I could never get the smart track to work despite trying from every conceivable angle, I know it’s in beta but still come on how hard can it be! Also the app is rather annoying the way it doesn’t save any video settings when you shut it down. I may purchase a future model if they ever dramatically upgrade it as it is a lot of drone for your money despite the plethora of problems with it. Hopefully this helps someone on the fence about buying one and if so just forget about the smart modes none of them really work but when you do get it to behave it is very capable of some nice smooth 4K footage!

[@1dgabel]

Agree. I was looking to upgrade my Bebop2 last year and went with the Fimi competitor the Zino. Ya I get the price but.... Got a Mavic Pro used and then the Mini. Done with the low end and all the issues that come with it. I know when I grab my bag the DJI drones will fly, the Zino well............. Good job on the Video Chris, you always show the Good and The bad and you actually have the Quad un like a certain Flying Turdbird..

[@iamtcarter]

Thanks for your video. Do you think the yaw overshoot is actually overshoot or delay in video? I suspect that it is actually video lag. To me in the video it looked like delayed video compared to movement. If you have the drone close to you and flying, you can compare the movement of the drone vs the video feed.

[@QCGUY]

It’s drone over travel. I tested it closer before making the claim but another thing is it looks like the gimbal is contributing to this as well. It’s very hard to see but when hovering right in front of me it looks like it over travels at times itself.

[@hughb40]

Descriptive vid, on the editing especially ! Nice Chris !

[@williambennon9607]

Refreshing to see a meaningful assessment of the x8 2020. The color profile has definitely improved. Mine originally had a horrible purple hue. I am not holding my breath on a fimi fix for the horizon tilt. It was never fixed on 2018 and still exists on 2020. Thanks for not abandoning your fimi!

[@ChrisKueppers]

I read that purple hue was intentional as the pollution in China is bad and the purple hue corrected it.

[@QCGUY]

​@@ChrisKueppers You make a good point because testing is in an area of thick polluted haze and testing is probably behind a warehouse in some ally. lol

[@tampadroneography]

I took a gamble with the Zino 2. But after this video I won't purchase this quad. I would think after the horizon tilt on the first Fimi x8 they would of fixed the issue. But I'm staying tune to more of your content with this quad.. Look forward to more great content as always.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@ChadB]

Great Test...I'm happy to see the video image has improved. The over traveling and horizon is an issue which I hope they correct. It shouldn't be to hard with just a firmware update.

[@QCGUY]

Chad B. You would think but here we are today with the same gimbal issue from the 2018 and over travel from the A3. They could have something good here if they tried.

[@TheCablebill]

I don't think it's over-travel. It's the gimbal lagging behind the drone turn and gradually decelerating yaw after the turn stops. So it is perceived as turn lag from the FPV perspective in real time. I suspect this is deliberate because it makes video motion smoother. I suppose the presumption is that the drone is within LOS and the operator is controlling the turn by looking at the drone. Which is probably not helpful to videographers anyway. I also find it distracting when using the FPV for supplemental navigational guidance. I suppose if it didn't do something like this, there would be no purpose for the 3rd (yaw) axis of the gimbal because a quad can travel in arbitrary horizontal directions irrespective of yaw. (?)

[@Tocchella]

Hi and greetings from Germany. For me the horizont problem is the biggest issue, too. I can't understand why they are not able to fix this after that long time.

[@QCGUY]

I agree and I'm surprised at how excepting most people are of this issue. I understand it is a lower end on the scale of things but it's a 3 axis gimbal and it should work. There are some real crappy knock offs that have actual working gimbals so yeah it bothers me too.

[@mattcero1]

Dude, my same drone did an uncommanded descent straight down onto a busy road yesterday. I had the last lat. long. on the APP and used that on Google Maps to get an idea of where it was along with a rough visual memory of where I saw it, north northwest of my house. The only reason I recovered my drone was the strobe was still flashing. The drone was damaged from the traffic and off to the side of the road. I'm reaching out to FIMI now to give them a chance to replace the malfunctioning drone. I also requested from my local police department if they were using laser around where I live because the entire time my son and I were driving around looking for it, my radar/laser detector was going off indicating it was detecting laser. I feel your pain.

[@QCGUY]

WOW! That’s crazy! I hope this has a happy ending after you deal with FIMI.

[@MrSango123]

but i always use tripod mode for filming when vidio ing so that might help on your over shooting

[@AngelPrimerSector]

Is it worth it over the dji mini 2? I'm considering buying one of those 2 and I'm leaning for the fimi but I do have some concerns.

[@QCGUY]

Two different birds buddy... Mini 2 is great but just too toy grade feeling and light for my taste. I enjoy it and you can’t beat the camera but I like the FIMI better.

[@nativerezmedia]

Quick question... I believe you said you had a CPL filter on the cam, did you try an ND filter as well on this same day to see if you can lower the shutter speed using that?

[@QCGUY]

I use manual settings on the darker side and then use a lut in my editing. I take the sd card out of the drone and plug it into my computer.

[@raymondboots6089]

I believe it's from the latency for the over travel. Thanks for all that you do! Have a great day!

[@deanburrito6943]

You can fix you're turning overcompensation Problem by changing the gain and Expo sensitivity yaw both of them to 10.... I've been able to get pretty good clouds by changing the EV down to -7 and using Auto settings with HDR

[@QCGUY]

Dean Burrito it just slows it down and maybe travels a tad less. I looked at your latest video and you keep the sky out of the shots for the majority as you video the beautiful waters. Link me your best sky video showing your HDR with EV cranked down. I don’t like the effects of their HDR in my past experience so it would be interesting to see. Thanks

[@deanburrito6943]

Check this one out at the two minute and 10-second Mark and the 5 minute and 30 second mark. Also you can change the brakes with the parameters above that. From what I can tell what's going on is a lag time differential in the fpv signal whereas the controller is in real time kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGq3eYOhndmag8U

[@deanburrito6943]

Check this one out at the 20 minute and 20 second mark. Like most cameras as I tilt up you don't really get a great image of the sky until you are close to 90° when in auto because it's trying to ascertain exposure on the majority of the land kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJq4gWmio7GaaZY

[@QCGUY]

Dean Burrito HDR mode? Clouds look great 👍

[@deanburrito6943]

Yes all of my videos are vivid HDR 4K high quality auto h265 and I usually set EV to - 3 or - 7 but play it by ear depending on the situation at hand.... the videos I have that exhibit a yaw compensation problem are my earlier videos before I figured out how to fix it..... also ironically, my latest video that you watched initially is my very first flight, the sky was blown out because EV was set to zero by default

[@StarlancerAstro]

Had one and though it was a nice drone, but that damn tilt just ruined it for me, ended up selling it and getting a used Air 2, love it! I will say I liked the way the Fimi flew more then the DJI, the Mavic seems floaty feeling when flying.

[@rickybritton7212]

Great Job Chris, Hopefully Fimi was watching your assessment, They are getting closer to refinement, For 347 .00 dollar's, I think it's not a bad bird, Also for the amount of power, and how it can handel high winds, I hope they will fix the horizon and yaw over travel will be fixed, I bet if you would take a count, the amount of people who own this bird, it would definitely be more of any other Drone around the world, for the price for sure. Great Review Chris. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family

[@palo34]

not worth 200.. too many problems.... including the quality problems pestering the drone.

[@Joe_Blo]

To stop over-rotation (yaw) flick joystick to opposite direction then release as soon as it is pointed at your target. It stops dead on. Practice makes perfect.

[@QCGUY]

Burnt Rice Im use to stopping early now. lol

[@Joe_Blo]

@@QCGUY FIMI needs to correct this issue, at least Cinematic mode. Plus, the yaw is just too touchy with initial toggle movement in Cinematic mode. Hopefully with videos like yours, FIMI will finesse the software and issue updates. Too bad they did not include user feedback function inside the App.

[@stephendownie3539]

Great video, your comments maybe valid. However when you look at all the other things the Fimi does, for example the SAR mode, the tripod mode, the speed adjustment in the app for beginners up to top speed of 16 Mtrs/ sec that's nearly 60km per hour or 38 mph. Also the safety feature of on loss of signal you can set it to hover or land or RTH. Anyway just giving the Fimi a thumbs up 👍 Oh nearly forgot 500mtr ceiling totally illegal btw. Cheers Steve

[@QCGUY]

All those things are great but a camera quad needs to come close to its promise and the gimbal needs to work. I’ll give it a thumbs up now but it took them a little while to get that from me anyhow. Thanks 👍

[@marcinmichalak7001]

I don't get that it still travels? That might be a normal. The signal still has to get to the drone so when u let go it still gets the turn command and after the second it gets that its not turning.

[@QCGUY]

When you let off the stick motors all do a job to stop what ever action it is doing. Some break real hard when you stop forward motion for instance and some come to a soft stop so this is the same thing in turning essentially. The difference between a hard stop and soft stop is firmware parameters. That being said this is a simple firmware parameter change that can fix this or one would think. Doesn't do it on my 2018 and never has but it did on my A3 so for me it's a FIMI thing. I have and have had so many quads over the years and this is something I think they could fix but like I said in the video I don't see many people even bringing it up. I see it in their videos but no mention of it.

[@kart3288]

I actually got my Fimi X8 SE 2020 refunded by Banggood week ago, and I had already had the drone delivered months ago

[@Joe_Blo]

Q: The 2020 only comes in white, currently. Anyone else wonder if this is because they eliminated the cooling fan? (Black would absorb sunlight and heat up more than white). Just 5° can make all the difference.

Thanks very much for your thorough analysis, Chris. 👍👌 If you keep in mind that this drone is available for about 350 USD right now it is not bad, but I still prefer my 2019 Black Fimi X8. I also noticed some jello here and there, probably caused by the steep wind gusts you talked about. It is a pity that Fimi is not able to get their firmwares working smoothly, because the hardware for sure is capable of being a great drone. It is kind of a missed chance and a step back compared to 2018 version. They should improve their products and not downgrade. The only advantages are the better distance performance and the improved precision landing.

[@QCGUY]

I understand and do keep that in mind for sure but it's a camera drone and when released you had a camera that was really bad and a gimbal that was tilted this way and every other way in flight. It needs to work better before I agree that for the price it's pretty darn good. For some this is all they can afford and they have to save up for it and then have to swallow you get what you pay for. When features don't work or the camera isn't perfect or that great I can except that. Thanks

I dont know if this is acceptable for monney they ar asking. But on the other side, it might be too perfect without horizon and overtravel issue..for the price i mean. And if they fix it, version 2021/22 would be meaningless..... Anyway, great video!!

I truly think the expectations are to high. This drone is not a dji. This is not the drone you buy for photography/ videographers! This is about but not as good as a Mini. You dont buy a pocket camera if your goal is for great photos and video, you buy a Nikon dlsr or better. I have this drone and didnt buy it with expecting awesome video and photos. I bought it for fun and thought cool there is 4k camera with a gimbal. If I was trying to ne a yourtuber wanting to make some $ I would be on the Mavic Pro! I have had no issues with my Fimi 2020!

I don’t think my expectations are high at all for this quad nor do I compare it to a higher end quad. I expect bugs and small issues but I expect the gimbal to function as it should and Im showing better video quality than your average user so I have been very fair in my reviewing of this quad. Most do not buy it just as a fun flyer alone. They want decent video to boot so you’re the rare buyer in my opinion. As a reviewer on a KZbin channel making money you buy as many as you can that are popular and you take offers to review what is popular. So along with the Mavic Pro 2 I have nearly all the top quads. Thanks

The worst is the horizont problem for me, and the modes dont work, excep SAR maybe,, the clouds problem you can probe a CPL filter, cheers from China🇨🇳 😂😁🙏👍🤟💯and big like from edu brother🙏👍

[@QCGUY]

CPL doesn’t fix the clouds. A ND filter is more likely but this camera needs manual adjustments more then anything. I played around with it a good bit and what I produced here is what I find most acceptable for what they are giving us with this camera. They blew it with this quad....
