Bought an Autel Nano+, returned it after 3 flights due to the obstacle avoidance issues. Came on for no apparent reason, possibly direct late evening sun. And this was at 150 - 300’. Really liked everything else about it.

Nice round up of some of the best non-DJI options out there.But I would like to see even more and better options emerge in the near future. Great video Jack. Happy New Year.

Ended up buying the Flymore bundle 3 axis Potensic, only because reviews I read stated that they have wonderful customer service and folks who bought the Fimi said they have terrible customer support. Thanks again for the vids. Very very helpful. My drone should be here later today and I'm stoked!

C-FLY Faith Mini is an absolutely amazing drone, especially for the price.
It's a proper drone, not a toy.
You're right about the video FPS however the sensor is a high quality Sony I believe, so the image quality is very good.
Definitely worth buying.

Finally had the chance to get my Atom up in the air and I'm in love. Can't believe it's so exhilarating to fly these drones! I'm hooked, will be buying my wife one, cutting my teeth on this and then upgrading to the more expensive models.

Hi again, and so glad you responded. I was hoping you could give a suggestion of what you thought was the better of the 3, simular to say the fimi in you opinion was better than the Cfly.

The bottom line is, I've had a DJI Air3 on order for a month since it was on sale for 300 off the normal price...with the extra's still $1600 Then after waiting a month they sent an email that there was still delays. The month gave me time to think the Air 3 might be over kill for what I would use it for, mainly flying around my home, hopefully taking some nice videos and pictures... Maybe even doing this for friends and their homes. I chose to request a refund... Then a miracle happened, Hmmm, a day later they said it shipped!!! Sooo now what to do? They said, if I do not want it, I can just refuse the shippment... Historically I do not like to buy junk or the cheapest quality items, knowing there is a price to pay for top of the line items that last, like stereo systems, computers, even RC airplanes that I like to fly, but I am 65 now and after finding your reviews just not sure if a video of my place is worth paying $1600+ for top of the line...

Thanks again for any common sense suggestions and anything you can offer to help with some clarity. Just afraid to be disappointed with the less eXpensive drones, Sincerely Jeff

After many hours of research I'm starting my drone hobby with the ATOM. Thank you for your awesome vids. I subbed. Edit....having last second reservations and thinking of going with the Fimi. Lawd help me make a decision lol. You really seemed enthused about the Fimi which makes me lean that way.

my potensic Atom n Atom SE are my favorite

[Dronyankyvictor]

Greetings, excellent comparison. Now with the new launch of the DJI Mini 4K, I think the whole panorama changes.

[PaulY.-dtkv]

There are also Anzu drones that won't be banned because they painted DJI in green, which is a color that enhances national security, but the price seems to be a lot higher probably because they only use military grade green.

I still fly my hubsan zino 2+and i love it, sails across the sky like a ufo .

[fpveverywhere.]

Unlocked my dji fpv and now I feel like I actually own it. I can fly where I want now.

[MrRaymond]

I think the only DJI alternative would be Autel evo. I could be mistaken but for what I've been seeing on YouTube they're #2. The Potensic could a little better and the new Fimi also if it was a bit better, I would consider either one of those.
Being that I don't have the money to throw away, I would probably get an Autel Nano + version. That's just me and my own personal opinion. I think the Nano+ is the only one of any alternatives to DJI and would probably be the only one I'll buy besides a DJI.
Thanks for sharing Jack I thought this was an interesting video. 👍👍👍

[genefoxgreenmountaindroning]

Great information thank you I agree love my fimi x8 se2020

[squidskunk]

the potensic atom follow me mode works perfectly on mine...

[wulfclaw]

I've about had it with DJI's firmware/ Update crap. Always a pain in the arse !

[DroneDaysgr]

Come on Parrot you were the best in the consumer drone market. You had some great drones (bebop, bebop 2, anafi) and you were definitely the biggest competitor against DJI.

[TECHFUN-ntfq]

Im happy with my new fimi x8 mini 2🎉🎉😊

[jakupmadsen]

Fimi X8 Pro is also a really good drone and not as expensive as the DJI drones

[TaylorImagesNYC]

Great video, as I am always interested in alternatives to DJI. I do disagree with your opinion about the Fimi Mini being a better "bang for your buck", than the Autel Evo Plus, as I have both of them. While the Evo costs more than the Mini, the low light video quality on the Evo is SO much better than on the Fimi Mini, and the daylight video on the Evo is more natural looking. The Evo rightfully costs more than the Mini, as it has more features than the Fimi Mini including obstacle avoidance sensors, but one of the biggest negatives (in my experience, as well as others) with the Fimi, is it often shows a horizon tilt when you are flying it.
