Wow well done Xiaomi, well done. That drone is very stable!

[MikeRCChannel]

Oh, a new video! I had such quadcopter. This is a good thing.

[GadgetInspector]

This bird just keeps getting good marks. I'm convinced at this point from what I keep seeing from it. Looks super stable and that camera footage is really good. Hopefully Xiaomi can correct that gimbal skewing. For the price, it's definitely on my wishlist.

[dannyoahlrichs]

Great video thank you. Its nice to actually see the drone flying and not just the 4k footage

[maxpayne]

Dude... that intro
I thought I was about to watch some old-school 80's horror movie or an episode of Black Mirror!!!!

[garybesta]

Just watched this on RCGroups and I enjoyed it, even though English is not your native language, you were clear and concise.
I've had my Mi4K since July and it's great fun.

Nice looking quad. Seems very stable and the video looked excellent ;-) A great intro, assembly, and flight demonstration. Thanks for the video and Happy Flying!

[knowhere]

the quad indeed Does look well made.. the video it spits out actually looks Impressive..
Great video bro! Thanks

[Tribal]

looks good and reasonably priced quad,   great review

[trinemia]

Very nice and detailed video you made. What are exactly the tools you use to record your voice and the video?

[TheSouthern]

A sober Sean Connery drone review...how nice.

[mikesrccorner]

awesome detailed review video buddy! I'm convinced! saving my pennies for this one (i sold the upair one to my friend at work). However i got cash for that and spent it on christmas presents. lol. I'm noticing the price dropping on this model so I'm wondering if a newer update release is coming soon? Maybe the price on this will drop again (i'm hoping!) cheers DRC!!

[BarefootBeekeeper]

I have just started to fly mine, but I can't figure out how to change the RTH altitude. Do have to switch out of beginners mode to do that?

[MrBofB]

Hey Dutch. I would like to see more of what the Mi 4K can do. Is the cable between the phone and remote special or a standard USB cable. I would be using either a ipad mini or a iPhone se with the controller. Thanks!

Any problems with the compass calibration? Some seem to have more problems than others. Don't get me wrong, I really like this quad but I've spent quite a bit of time helping to get one calibrated. Good review

[tonil]

hey Mister netherlands, i think the Xiaomi is a very good alternative to the whole phantom hype! all tests and vids I saw are all positive! me for my self use a Xiaomi smartphone and was totally surprised of the value for the money! the pictures of the cam from these drone are impressive! how do you doing???

[woutervanwijk]

Would be nice to see the mission planner do its work. It's a feature which I'm very interested in.

[quadcopter]

At last, a real competitor for DJI. Maybe now DJI will drop their costs because they will certainly lose some customers to Xiaomi.
Just imagine if Xiaomi made a smaller fold-up drone to compete with the Mavic head on!

Nice looking drone. What's the range on it
