The **NEW** FIMI MINI 3 SE - Range in the Wind !😀😱👍👍

[@richardhykes6939]

Seems pretty stable. Keep on flying my friend. Things starting to change I see fall is here. Not here in Virginia. Many thanks. Take care!!

[@GorillamansGarage]

I did notice a few stutters in the wind and the horizon went of for a moment... but I expected no less from this craft at such wind speeds. Fall is here for sure... mornings are in the single digits Celsius. A few hour north of us and the trees are full blown colour.

[@csabamagyar3244]

Thanks for the video! A friend of mine will get his SE in a couple of days. I'm really looking forward to see her videos.

[@garylinnane917]

A spoon full of honey every day is really good for your dogs, natural antibiotics for your dogs. I give a spoonful a day to mine and drizzled over carrots that they have every 2 or 3 days 😊. Looks like a decent drone over a dji drone 😊

[@GorillamansGarage]

Thanks.. we've tried pumpkin puree etc... but they have alway been on and off the diarrhea . We are 1/2 way through some deworming routine (as per the Vet request). I think the vet is just throwing spaghetti at the wall really. I tried FortiFlora but got a counterfeit batch from Amazon and gave them both violent diarrhea. If the tests come back negative for bacterial infections... I'll switch up their base diets. Now they are on a by-product free corn free chicken based kibble. Its a rough go really.

Gr8 REview, I bought one, nice long distance review. What cable would you recommend for using on my Android Tablet, which is a Lenovo 9. Tnx Again. Greeting from Oregon, USA.

[@GorillamansGarage]

@@chase1535 . Fimi uses proprietary cables. You can extend with an adapter.. watch my 1st FM3SE video. I mention cables at the beginning.

[@chase1535]

@@GorillamansGarage Ok, sounds good thanks again for being the front man for the FIMI drones, gr8 reviews. Noticed even on FIMIs site they use your videos for info. gr8 info for sure.

[@GorillamansGarage]

@@chase1535 : I honestly did not know that.

[@gregrorabaugh564]

That sign is funny, "No motorized vehicles beyond this point". Last time I checked a drone is a motorized vehicle. I wonder if they would enforce that in Canada. Lol. Great video keep them coming.

[@GorillamansGarage]

I was wondering who would spot that. This is the entrance to our trail system (down the hill). They had to put a gate down there and the sign because neighbouring farmers kids would use the trail as a race track and make a mess of the whole area.

[@mmdirtyworkz]

Managed to get the 3 version for 220 euros, what a deal :) It has a gimbal cover/cowling.

[@superiskiausias]

mentioned second edition. woohoo 😁 btw good range test. i never fly so far windy days like this😳

[@ernieschatz3783]

Good little drone. That's the first time I've heard Hubsan mentioned for quite some time. I still have my old 501S an A to remind me of how far things have advanced. I wish DJI would offer the orange color like Fimi does. In the USA, I don't see much benefit to the being under 250g. I visited for one week and had all the required paperwork for registration and recreational certificate done online in less than one hour. Maybe it's different in Canada. I just can't understand Americans being concerned with the registering. It's stupid easy and I don't get range anxiety with the plus battery in my Mini 4 Pro. If you have your part 107 you have to register everything anyway.

[@GorillamansGarage]

Yes .. In Canada there are many restrictions for over 250g.

[@mcmdrones]

Sensacional, impressão minha ou temos um pouco de efeito gelo do gimbal? Like registrado parabéns abraços do 🇧🇷

Audio very well, actually better than before

You use barren land the same way I use the ocean. Different strokes for different countries.

[@juancardenas1656]

Nice video. Between DJI Mini 4k and this one, which drone do you choose? Greetings from Colombia

[@GorillamansGarage]

The Fimi Mini 3 SE is $80 cheaper and has a ton more features

[@KTOWNDRONES]

That camera looks great

[@WorldCanal]

Aguardando o meu chegar já estar a caminho para Brasil

[@GorillamansGarage]

It's not bad for the price.

[@rafaellopes6435]

[@jeffbusha]

Just seen the SE is on sale. What's the difference between the SE and the mini?

[@GorillamansGarage]

Too much to explain here... watch this video.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGiuc59prriVnbssi=CtW_VgA-2_rAYB25

[@starhawke380]

I thought the sound was great. Clean and loud enough to hear you clearly. Thanks for all the info. Can this bird pair to aV2 controller? In case i crash or have a fly away...

[@GorillamansGarage]

Good question. I will find out.

[@mtinus-y3w]

Hi, where can i buy a tablet holder for my fini mini 3 se?

[@GorillamansGarage]

AliExpress, Amazon,.. many places. The ones for the DJI Mini series works well.

[@ssb73q]

Hi GM, nice range test of the Fimi Mini 3 SE, thanks for sharing. Not a bad drone for the price. Is Fimi now answering your emails?

[@GorillamansGarage]

Nope... I now just message the Fimi store.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

What's the name of the tablet your using and also the tablet holder

[@GorillamansGarage]

Alldocube iPlay50 Mini Pro and a skyreat mavic Mini tablet holder.

[@StefanGenov7]

Great video! The quality actually is very good. What microphone do you?

[@GorillamansGarage]

Watch at the end after the closing.. I put in all the details about the Mic.

[@pattyd5786]

could you share a link for the tablet holder for the fimi controller

[@GorillamansGarage]

@@pattyd5786 it's an old Skyreat magic Mini holder.

[@transikk]

So which one would you recommend more for casual use or travel v3 or SE?

[@GorillamansGarage]

Do you need 4k@60fps?? Do you need Night Mode? Are you a fair weather flyer? Do you not want to spend a lot? The FM3 does have a better camera.. better in overcast and lower light conditions. Then there is always the DJI Mini 4K @$279... so we have $199... $279 & $299 (I suspect the FM3 is now $349 but there are coupons out there still). It doesn't answer your question does it?? If you have the money... a DJI Mini 4 Pro or an Autel Nano Plus 🤣😂 .. Makes it even harder right?.. TBH.. I'm really having fun with the SE simply because of the price and I generally am a fair weather flyer.. but if I were a traveller... probably the FM3... and personally I don't like the design of the DJI drones... great products.. I just don't like the looks or the design features.

[@elweb30]

What is the typical warranty on the Fimi?

[@GorillamansGarage]

@@elweb30 : You know... I've never thought about that. I'd have to look in the manual.

[@transikk]

@@GorillamansGarage cant use dji products coz of geofencing no need for night mode but i would like best hardware possible at that price bracket.

[@GorillamansGarage]

@@transikk : If you want to hedge all your bets.. probably go with Autel. But it will be expensive. As for the Fimi Warranty (1yr.)... basically... "Good Luck"! It is there.. but you need patience and a willingnesss to video and document everything over and over again. It can be frustrating.

[@khalilkh7389]

So it is same like 3 Axel mechanical gimbal?

[@GorillamansGarage]

No.. this one uses a software algorithm (EIS) to stabilize the horizontal axis... And it doe so very well. I was very surprised how well it performed.

[@khalilkh7389]

@GorillamansGarage thanks for reply yes it do very well compare to other drone with 3 Axel mechanical gimbal

[@elweb30]

Another informative video and I am in the market for a new drone would you prefer this Fimi Mini 3 SE or the Fimi Mini 3? Price point wise the Fimi Mini 3 SE is tough to beat. Another note would the gimble protector from the Fimi Mini 3 fit on the 3 SE?

[@GorillamansGarage]

The camera on the SE sticks out more. As I mention.. the FM3 does have some advantages. But for $199 (or less) the SE is a tough nut to beat in the base line entry level arena.Some will say.. it doesn't have this.. it doesn't do that... it wont hold up to wind.. etc. etc. etc... My response would be... Then don't buy it! It was never intended to outdo any DJI drone. It was meant to shock the hell out od the Budget Basement folks who peddle dozens of G.D., JJRC, MJX, Faith, M10, K104 etc.. drones.. that are just crap. This is also proof that it can be done on an under 250g unit for less than $199... Some have even complained that it does not come with a case/... O.M.G. 😀💥

[@deanburrito6943]

At around 7 minutes You seem to be getting roughly 3 m/s. Were you at full throttle and the wind is just not letting you get any faster? I'm concerned as to not being able to get back if the wind picks up with this machine... With the X8 2020 it cuts through the wind like butter... The fact that the mini 3 is capable of 16ms and the 3SE only 14ms is also a puzzler.. the 2020se is 19ms... Also do you know if this machine can handle rain?

[@GorillamansGarage]

I have had the X8SE series out in the rain and all was good. I suspect any drone will handle a little moisture as I have had them fall in the lake and still had the power working and camera. As for wind resistance.. the X8SE series are built for speed and wind. At less than 250g.. you are not going to be as lucky.. But I do feel they do handle wind well. In the video it was wind related. As long as I am heading in to the wind on an outbound journey, I have no fear of coming back with the wind .

[@deanburrito6943]

@GorillamansGarage thank you so much for that information

[@genefoxgreenmountaindroning]

Question?? D0 you Ned remote idea on a drone 250 grams or less the video looks pritty stable I thank I like it. How long did you say the flight time was

[@GorillamansGarage]

No, RID required is not required on sub 250g drones. Although I do think it is a good idea for safety. But don't know what good it does you as a pilot because unless you have a data plan on your phone you'd never see anyone else in the sky. Yes you'd be transmitting your data but you wouldn't get any in return.

[@genefoxgreenmountaindroning]

@@GorillamansGarage I did not thank you needed it on sub 250 but saw a video and he was saying you need it .but he could have been 107

[@samholdsworth420]

You need rfid on any drone if you use it to make money
