Long video as I wanted to include the whole flight & flight time. A shorter more cinematic video will come once I get more experience and some good shots of the area. Timecodes: 01:33 - Unboxing

I still can't get over just how steady the footage is on drones, including this one. I'd never know there was any wind if it weren't for the noise and your comments. Btw, keep the commentary going. It's much better than cheesy music or wind noise! Great reviews my friend, watched this start to finish and I particularly enjoy your reviews in the long format. You don't just skip by alot of the details that most reviewers miss. Especially, the more rare Chinese phones not often found in Canada that interest me in particular. Keep up the great work!

The footage is quite stable and of the highest quality.

Lovely video!! Amazing footage and I didn't expect such a good camera quality, wbu? Did u think it was gonna catch detail that well?

[Emmepi]

It's Christmas everyday for you ! Lol !

[epamanonda]

Got mine last week. Absolutely love it.Bought it from Gearbest, arrived super quick to the UK.Please put some more vids up, point of interest, circle mode etc. Great video by the way. Look forward to more .

I just bought a refurb Phantom 3 Standard on ebay for $400us. I'm excited to try it out myself. This Mi drone is slightly higher in price but the flight and video output seems quite good.

[miehz]

[CustomcrowdMitroc]

24 mins is very good for a drone thats got one of the best flite times out of all the drones

[Jammasamma]

lets be honest....its a awesome drone for that dont even get you a dji spark witch is only 1080p with 15min flytime
so, good choice Chris...tumbs up but i have also couple of questions...
* is this the footage straight from the drone or did you color correct it in post-edit ?
* did you have to pay extra custom/duty-fees to import it ?

[libraris]

Noticed crooked horizon at beginning of flight.

[djacob]

What's a good, inexpensive tablet that would work with this drone? Thanks for any tips.

[jilijeg]

always catch it by hand when landing. its so much easier. just grab one of the landing foot :) enjoy droning :)

[billnuzzo]

Your video helped me a lot in deciding what drone to buy. This one looks like a winner for the price.

[RUS-dvsm]

Nice detailed review Chris. I hope you enjoy your new toy :D

[stuartsmith]

Looks like a nice quadcopter for that price. Generally your antennae should be perpendicular to each other and at a 45 degree angle. As someone mentioned you could try calibrating your gimbal and don't forget to calibrate the gps it will help with return to home should you loose rc signal. Manual landing is probably the hardest to master so 👍 on that. You should try to find a better level spot to launch from and trust the auto land and take off. That is what the sensors are for on the bottom. Video footage looks reasonable. Only down side i see so far is the charging times for the battery. You should watch as many tutorial videos regardless if it's dji Autel or xiaomi. Lastly can't wait to see some amazing videos. Such beautiful scenery in Spain. Fly safe mate.

Are the camera video and the app video just not synced very well, or is that a true representation of the lag?

EDIT: Oh, I see, it gets even more lagged as the video goes along, so It's just not synced.
