Thank you for smashing that like button, your great comments, and incredible support !

I just watched the video and I loved it! Smooth sailing. Perfect landing. A little deviating didn't hurt. Awesome video!

[RonaldBrown]

Great test flight Bill. I wish my Fimi Mini performed as well as yours does. You even had a good horizon. Thanks for sharing.

[slk]

surprised that no one has commented on the vignetting of the video image. The sides and bottom are very dark and the top is moderately dark, all compared to the center. This is commonly called "spotlighting" and has been seen as common to this quad in most of the videos on YT. Be thankful, yours only has a moderate amount of horizon tilt compared to other folks videos.

Great flight, Bill, the horizon is maybe off a touch, but nothing like on its release. As to one of your points, I've used this drone a few times, and always found it to deviate quite a bit .... it's definitely no DJI experience

[captraykelly]

Congratulations, Bill on your X8 Mini flight. Three for three precision landings is quite impressive. Should try RTH on my X8 Mini also. All the best with it.

I was waiting for the Orange Pro version to be released. But no I lived to see .This is why I ordered the Zino Mini Pro.

[angelmanuelcamacho]

The best on this drone is the RTH but the rest is no good.

The Horizon tilt looks good to me dont notice

TIP! Avoid filming in 24fps. It does not exist on todays monitors or displays. The computer will try to create the missing frames to match the displays/monitors' hertz. This will make the playback horrible because of the duplication frames. Always film at 60fps or above. 30fps is ok but again, it is bellow the NTSC 60hz, so the computer will duplicate the frames if your display is at 60htz. Any other device with higher hertz like phones, etc will triple the missing frames. Just like printing, higher frame rate, high resolution with high Mbps will always be present and future ready. 24fps is a unicorn frame rate. Only high end monitors and dedicated GPU will allow you to change the Hertz of the monitor to 24fps. Also, if you do video only for YouTube, 60fps is the key for better playback with motion. Anything bellow the YouTube encoder will do a poor job. Notice that if you do 1080p videos, never upload to YouTube at such resolution, Upconvert your videos to 4K with a minimum of 200Mbps and only then upload to YouTube. YouTube prioritize 4k contents over any other resolution so it can use it's new codec. I hope this helps a bit.

The left side of horizon looks ever so slightly lower to me. Maybe 1 degree

[datamike]

I have a similar "drift" problem with my dji mini 2, sometimes I have to constantly adjust to go forward in a straight line. Its been suggested to try a gimbal adjust, to make sure its actually pointed correctly forward and you're not compensating for it

[thedudleys]

Hi Bill, apart from it drifting I thought it went ok 👍

[shsechas]

Not bad for the price Bill, However I don't think it's ready to compete with the DJI mini series. Thanks for the review.

The horizon does not look titled to me.
