I got it from Ali Express with 2 batteries and the case. It took 10 days to get here. However, the extra battery took 17 days to arrive.

@@RobinDrones thanks for a quick reply.

@@RobinDrones sorry to be a pain, I've never ordered off ali express before, do you have a link to whom you purchased it off or name of the seller. Many thanks

I'm talking about the "top 5 Apps for flying drones" You're off, OK cya 👋

I'd say for image quality the dji mini 2 se, dji mini 4k and even the dji mini 3 unless your shooting in low light- dji should be better due to the larger sensor. As for features, the Fimi mini 3 is better than the dji mini 3, 2se, and the 4k. I'd say it's on par with the dji mini 4 pro!

That's difficult, but I would leave the Atom. But saying that I recently went on holiday and took the Fimi and the Atom and left the dji at home! All 3 shot great video though...

Thanks 👍

If it looses signal it will return home. You can even turn the controller off, and it will still come home and land! Why we don't see it much on KZfaq is because they would be flying beyond VLOS and the KZfaq police would have a moan. I don't fly out too far now. I've seen 2 emergency helicopters landing in the fields where I fly from-it's not worth the risk flying out too far.

I get this question alot, it's a hard choice between these 2. I think most people will agree that Dji makes the best drones. But with the Fimi, you get so many extra features and a slightly larger sensor. I think if i could only choose one, i would pick the Fimi. But only if you can get it cheaper than the Dji

It's a good drone. I'm still flying mine. Such good value for what you get with this drone!

Yes they added that in the Feb 24 update. 👍 This video was filmed before then.

Agree it's a great drone 👍

You can only connect it via plugging your phone into the remote. Apparently, they removed the WiFi option on this version. However, the first batch of the mini 3 had the switch, but it was non functional 🤔

Yeh I couldn't really do that (illegal in my country), but I'd say that these 3 drones will go 3km easily...

So you just click on where it says 1080p on the screen

I use Davinci resolve to edit (free) and then upload to KZfaq 👍

Are you using the supplied usb cable? As no other cable will work.

They all seem to sound the same as the prop design, and the weight of the drones are very similar. I don't notice one louder than the other.

Thanks Johnny 👍

The same, but Totally different in my eyes. Pros of Lithium Polymer(pouch cells): LiPo’s hold the highest voltage under load of all lithium batteries so they perform well in high amp draw applications LiPo batteries come in many different form factors so they can be built to fit lots of applications Maintains lower temperatures under high discharge Cons of Lithium Polymer(pouch cells): LiPo’s are more prone to thermal runaway when punctured or damaged LiPo batteries provide around half the life cycles of a Li-Ion Can be discharged down to 3v per cell Pros of Lithium ion(cylindrical cells): Li-ion batteries are higher energy density(Wh/kg) which allows for longer runtimes and lighter weight Lithium-ion batteries are safer than lithium polymer because of the metal enclosure Can be discharged down to 2.5v per cell Cons of Lithium ion(cylindrical cells): In high amp draw applications, they will have lower voltage under load compared to lithium polymer They are round cells in specific sizes which can create some limitations to fit in certain applications They tend to hold higher temperatures during and especially after performing a higher discharge rate

@@RobinDrones Both batteries are Li-ion polymer ; the capacity is different , the weight too

@@RobinDrones There is only one definition for batteries: Lithium-ion polymer; the lithium in these batteries is not found in the metallic state, but ionic and the lithium ions circulate in polymers based on graphite or graphene! any other name is an invention of the drone world: Lipo, Lithium polymer, Lithium-ion I am a chemist and I have been using this type of battery for several years To simplify, just say: lithium batteries ! 😊

Yep I agree it's a brilliant drone!

I thought that this video would help people choose between these 2 drones, that's why I made it.

The strobe is rated to last for 4 hours that's probably about right as I barely have to charge mine up. As for the birds, they always seem attracted to my drones even when I had the red skin on. But I've never hit or had a bird fly into my drones yet.....

It's rated for 31 mins, I get around 22-24 mins, but in this video I got 27mins...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rp98qNyht6fOk2w.html

@@RobinDrones Thanks Robin

While flying it's 720p. You can download the videos from the drone to your phone. However, they download to the app, and I can't see a way of sharing them from the app. So the best way is to use a card reader plugged into your phone then you get the full size 4k videos. 👍

@@RobinDrones Thanks Robin

Yeh I think I may have to agree with you about the Fimi being the best beginner drone! It's cheap, has all of the features you need and still has a very good image quality 👌 They just need to get their act together and put it on Amazon!

You have good eyes 👀,correct

I thought that when I ordered the Potensic Atom (very similar controller) but it's actually very nice to use as it feels more balanced in the hand due to the phone being in the middle. 😀

I've not heard about this before. Have you contacted Potensic about this issue?

I must admit that I haven't weighed the FIMI yet. I will, but I'm currently on holiday at the moment, so I will weigh it when I get home. I'm guessing, though, going by the specs of the Fimi 245g, the strobe weighs 6g, so it might weigh 251g Personally, if it were to weigh 251g, I wouldn't worry about 1 gram. Rules are rules, but honestly, are the police going to ask you to bring your drone down and weigh it?

No, They Would Not Worry But Need It To See It In Lower Light Conditions For VLOS Distances. Could Be 251 Grams.

We have some great weather at the moment for your first flight 😀 Yep, it's probably the best value good drone, you can get some stunning looking video out of this drone! It's dead easy to fly you'll pick it up in no time. One tip - wait until you have around 14 satellites before taking off or the drone will wander off 👍 Where are you from? I'm from Didcot but currently in Devon on holiday.

@@RobinDrones I live in Crawley which is just outside of greater London. Lots of parks, lakes, woods and greenery as well as city scapes and urban areas. The value is what did it for me. My package comes with two batteries, a case etc, some others didn’t seem to have the same value. I’m fully aware there are better drones out there. But I will take a look once I’m flying and enjoying myself. Do you have any tips for general drone flying, and any recommendations for future drone purchases?

Yes it is good to wait until it's on Amazon that way if there's anything wrong, you can send it back. The Fimi is the drone that I'm using the most at the mo due to it having a good sensor and lots of features 👍

Just purchased it on Amazon.... less than the Fimi website.

Did you change the video resolution to 4k and zoom into the video? They are very similar but in my opinion you can see more details in "A"

Yeh I like it. It's great if you can get it for a good price. But the price fluctuates on Ali Express. I love the orange colour 😁

Wow, 44 minutes, that's incredible. But yeh, like you said, 20 mins is enough

Oh yeh it's like their website has disappeared! Very strange, no I can't find anywhere else that sells the new platinum strobe 🤔

So the link works again now 😊

Thanks 😀

Oh really 🤔 thanks for letting me know

@@RobinDrones I ran into the same problem with this drone. Didn't figure it out until I tried setting a waypoint within that circle.

It's actually not an x it's a pic of a drone, I guess, to show that it's the drone battery and not the controller.

You won't damage it unless you fly to close to trees ect. Pick a wide open space on your first flight and make sure you have a min of around 14 satellites before taking off, or the drone may drift out of control. It is super easy to fly

Just to let you know did what you said it was amazing granted its the only camera drone I've flown thanks for the advice and encouragement 😊

Yes, I wish i did go higher now. 🫤

I'm more surprised by the standard battery 27 mins. The most I've got with any sub 250g drone was around 22-24 mins. They both were fully charged 1h before filming. Yeh, I wish more drone batteries were lion as, like you said, they stay charged. I actually did a hover test in my garden the other day, and I got 23 minutes with the standard and 28min with the plus battery.

Don't get me wrong, but the dji mini 4k is a fantastic drone it has the best signal and the best at taking photos. It's also higher quality. However, it is basic. Whereas the Fimi, 1. Has a larger stocked sensor. 2. Has the option of a plus size battery. 3. It has super night mode. 4. It has waypoints. 5. It has tracking. 6. It has 12x zoom 7. 4k 60fps 8. Timelapse 9. Hyperlapse 10. You can limit your speed from as low as 1 meter per second (very useful) 11. It's faster at near 40mph. 12. It has precision landing. 13. It's cheaper if you can get a good deal. I find myself flying the Fimi more than the dji. But you'll be happy with either ☺️

Thank you that’s all I need to know I like the fimi more too just a more valuable drone for money 😄.i just wanted to ask from a expert who has flown both of these 😂 is it worth buying the DJI mini 3 over the fimi tho?

@@RobinDrones I looked at the site and the price stays the same no matter which package you choose. Just to clarify, are you still using an Android phone when you do these?

Oh really I've just checked and each package goes up around 10 usd. Oh I've just had an email with $50 off 50USDMINI3 Yep I use an android Samsung A55 👍

Not yet but i will do that video soon-its on my list.

Waiting for this also​@@RobinDrones

Great just wondering if ...a cheap vr headset would work... considering price of dedicated mask.
