Looks like they've been able to cram most of what the x8 does into a much smaller package. I already have the fimi x8 se 2020 and I'm totally satisfied with it now, if this is similar and they continue to iron out the bugs like they have with the x8 it will be a financially sound alternative to DJI's offerings. Also just to add, fimi's customer service have been superb for me, fast response and very helpful, I can't understand why some people have had a poor experience?

I have the dji Mini 2 and I have had overheat issues so dont be afraid of that. It just happens when it is updating generally

[wollins]

As usual a superb review ... unmatched detail. Nobody else brings this kind of detail to a drone review! Kudos again my friend.

Very informative unboxing thanks for sharing Dustin.

Great in depth un boxing and initial setup as usual Dustin. Looking forward to your flight testing with this one with its extra features and functions. FIMI are getting a good respectable foot hold in the budget Drone market these days. I’m Still looking at purchasing sub 250g Drone but holding off as the DJI Mini 3 is claimed to be launched soon as well as the Hubson Mini Pro. Of course the DJI Mini 2 is high on my list at the present time. Keep up the great work and greetings from the UK 👍

At $329.00 on Amazon I just cant see why anyone would go with this drone over A DJI MINI 2?? I mean these companies out of china think they can compete then think they are worth over 200 bucks....dreaming.
Of course love your did subscribe because your videos are educational and entertaining 😀👍

Dji mini 2 has no competition imo, it's the best drone out there. My mate has fimi x8 mini and it's ass

Would be sweet if you could repack the battery pack when it goes bad.

[steveking]

Nice coverage on unbox & initial setup, thank you

[elmerken]

Dude I am new to the channel but I can’t stop binging your videos there so entertaining keep it up 👍😄

This is liable to have mixed results. I've had 3 and every flight is an adventure, not always the one you expect! 🙃 Should be a fun romp Dustin! After a few "Sensor Temperature too High" errors. Should come with a portable fan, like the one I keep handy.

As always, an excellent review. The Fimi has already shown that it is problematic in several areas. (not unexpected, since Fimi is the rebrand/relaunch of Xiaomi, the company which made the unfocused YI camera for years). The X8 Mini is slightly cheaper than the DJI Mini 2, but MORE expensive than the recently released DJI Mini SE. Looking forward to your additional reviews of this, but, speaking for myself, I'd never buy a Xiaomi/Fimi drone. Mahalo !

[Airbag]

lot more features than on DJI but .. do they really work. Can't wait for the range test though :)

[subhadeephalder]

Quick question which one is best mini 2 or fimi x8 ??
Honest answer only 🔥

[fjtoysaeromodels]

This one is the only drone with props out directions like other racing drones. Good for sharp turning and the dust also not going to blur the camera lens, not like the props in directions which is everytime i must clean the camera .

[toddolatheks.]

Awesome video great production.
Thanks 🙏

[joemooney]

Great video. Helped me. Big time to get my new mini in the air. Thanks again. Love this drone. Great winning christmas raffle. You got it to me in Scotland Uk. Thanks again. Need more batteries :)

[richardhykes]

Should the control settings be set airplane mode no wifi. The best way to Fly this mini x 8??

[thornerg]

Is this the one that aims to compete with the mini, but is over 250g, so falls into the wrong category?

[coracolombel]

Such a good video Dustin! Thanks for the info.
