Great review Chad! I'm glad the you didn't see the kind of gimbal shake that mine had.

[Droneguy-befy]

Great video mate. You can see at 8:45 the slight shake of the camera that others have experienced. Definitely not as good as the bigger X8 2020. Hopefully they sort all these issues with an update

[wydrone]

I hope after updates and calibrations that thing gets way more stable. Nice first video

[flyjcLIBdrone]

Great video. Could aircraft indicators be for detecting maned aircrafts?

[marceldemers]

Nice review, lots of info, good job Chad

[RonaldBrown]

I'm sorry to see the crooked horizon issue still lingers from the previous Fimi X8's. Hopefully they can get that fixed, along with the other issues you had during this test flight, with a round of Firmware updates. Great review, I really enjoyed it.

How has this drone done over the past months?

[tampadroneography]

Oh no... I placed my order yesterday for this quad.. I should of waited.. I don't know why Fimi can't get this problem fixed.. Great content like always.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Looks like is tilt is gone like it streatten out

Nice review, sticking to the Mini 2 for

[shbif]

On the mavic pro you can adjust the horizon. I can't believe there's no setting to adjust that. That would be terrible! Where did you buy it?

[BlairAir]

Looking good. My replacement just arrived it town, I had a really light crash, no physical damage to the body, but GPS module died. New batch 2 drone provided by Fimi with pro battery- I'm hoping all is right with this one!

[DroneSyndrome]

Awesome vid Chad (as always) I’m glad to see you testing it out. It has potential to be a decent drone but it still needs some fine tuning on Fimi’s part as I’ve seen in many trial test videos. Great job though on your part. 👏🏻👍🏻

[FL-PHILLIP]

Any updates? I really like this drone but this is discouraging.

[shaunthedrone]

Great review Chad, looks like there will be a few Mini drones on the market this year - still happy with my DJI Mini 2. Enjoyed the video - big Like from me :)

[jvrotter]

Just sent mini back for a replacement. Was happy with all the features but the video had a wavey effect, kinda like looking under water or heat distortion. Was worse when setting on the table before flight. When flying the image was more jittery. Tried every resolution and frame rate and different SD cards. No change. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

[dadaisdown]

Just curious if you change the metering mode to average instead of center, would that get rid of the vignetting in the picture? Something worth testing maybe?

[MaxItUpwithMarta]

hi Chad, i would like to know what the setting options mean. just bought one. just subbed.

[dmc]

Mr. CB. You always create great videos. Im student of you of your work.Hopefully on next flight you can try the active track. I think that's the game changer option missing on Mini 2. Anyway thanks for another informative video. I truly appreciate the knowledge.

[Al-Kwadrone]

Did anyone notice at around 8:09 something black flying fast towards the drone???
Was it a bird or another drone, plane or what?
Anybody see that or do I need to get eye surgery???
