- This is my first flight with the Fimi X8 SE 2022. Of course I literally fire up the motors for the first time, and send it over the Snake River Canyon at Dedication Point. The camera on this drone is clearly an improvement over it's predecessors. Here is my Banggood affiliate link for this drone: Fimi X8 SE 2022: www.banggood.c...

FImi may not be ready to face DJI but they have made some pretty vast improvements in the past couple of years that make them stand out in the lower priced market.
I agree, it was well worth the $429 that I paid on Banggood. Thank you.
My 2022is a beast of a drone! Flies well, quick, good in wind, plus the half inch Sony sensor is all you need for nearly all weather conditions. I set my white balance to fluorescent and the video footage looks great.
I'm enjoying flying the 2022 version. 👍
I am still impressed with this drone. It still comes to mind as an affordable and safe option away from DJI. I was at the Canyon way too early Sunday morning to work with Cruise control - it was frosty but so beautiful!
Yes I agree, I am still impressed too. So much so that I also bought the FIMI TX10 Built-in Screen 5.5 Inch Remote Controller which, although a bit expensive, is really great.
@@sligoquadcopter Hi Sligo, expensive? Not compared to either the DJI or Autel $1200 smart controllers.
@@ssb73q That is true. But it was the same price as the drone itself so in buying it I doubled my cost. I like it though, and I don't begrudge the outlay.
Hey Tania! Thank you for stopping by. I know you enjoyed the flight you had with the X8 SE 2022.
I got the fimi x8 se 2022 V2 about a month ago with the drop gadget and speaker. I've had so much fun with this drone and it flies like a dream. And hopefully it won't become extinct when remote ID is mandatory, as it's suppose to have it already.
The 2022 version is said to be RID compliant. 👍
Nice work Marcus. Looks like a nice day out there at the canyon!
It was a nice fall day! 🙂
This is actually good drone from fimi.... I owned one, sold it to my friend.( i have autel lite +) It is top thing or the money. In daylight and dusk its camera is perfect , if you are not professional, you do not need more. I also had fimi x8 2020 , it had blurry issues gimbal tilt horrible.... This one perfect, at least mine was. Can recommend. also it is snow and water resistant.
I agree, it's a great value!
Another very enjoyable vid Marcus, I'll never get to the Sbake River canyon but watching all your vids make me feel I've been there several times. Thank you 🙂
Thank you Julius! I do love flying there! 🙂
The X8SE 2022 is by far a dollar for dollar runaway success. Add the TX10 controller and it's still cheaper than all the rest. 👍😀
Yes, bang for buck it's an exceptionally good drone.
I agree. It's a value story.
Not a bad flight with the Fimi, Marcus. Camera looks decent. I like the silent RTH! The Snake River looks awesome as always. Nice job!
Thank you John! It was a fun flight!
Awesome video my friend thanks for sharing your time with us 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico Yucatan Peninsula ✌️🐶🥰
Thank you! Your channel is doing great!
@@IdahoQuadcopter it's coming along
I'm learning everyday bro thank you
I’m glad to see you had a trouble free flight with the new Fimi SE 2022. And horizon looked level thought out the video. Fimi really seems to love this airframe, isn’t this from the Mavic Pro era? Great test flight Marcus, and thanks for sharing.
Ha! Thank you Ron! They're getting their money's worth out of the airframe for sure.
This is a great Marcus. It looks like FIMI is getting closer to getting it right. I wouldn't mind upgrading from the SE 2020 to this one!
Thank you Ryan! Yeah, I thought it looked pretty good.
Drone did a nice job, even looking into the sun. At the right price, this could be a good 4k 3 axis gimble "starter" drone. However, I really like recording in 4k/60, for smoother panning and close up look-down shots, so that would be an issue for me.
Thanks for sharing your experience and your day‼👌
It's a value proposition for sure Doug. Not bad for $429. I agree about 4K 60fps. 👍
Wow, pretty solid drone, Marcus. I will say that you have the most awesome scenic places to fly out there in Idaho. You are very lucky!
Thank you so much John!
Thanks Marcus ! I have enjoyed your reviews since you started your channel. Alway informative and unbiased. I have the first two models and have been debating ordering this one as well . Thanks for all you do. Looks like a great drone for its price 😊👍
Thank you Grover. I have the first two as well. The 2022 is the best of the bunch. 👍
Yes "Less, yet More" under image is the 2020 slogan "Greater Distance, Finer Image" is 2022. Of I didn't have a new 3 drone limit (self impossed) I would grab one. Loved my 2020.
Did I see a toggle for Remote ID? Cool 😎 🆒️- we will just keep that "feature" off!
The camera on this one a vast improvement. 👍
Awesome Drone. Awesome Footage. Awesome Price. Thanks for sharing Marcus. Be Safe.
Thank you! That was a really fun flight.
Very cool place to fly, thanks for the video
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I always enjoy your flights at the Canyon, Marcus. Have fun with your new drone. Cheers from Wisconsin. I know I am only one of your 17.3K followers, but I sure would like to buy an Idaho Quadcopter hat.
Thank you George! I love flying at the canyon!
Hi Marcus, thank you for your review of the Fimi. I have been looking forward to your review of this Fimi. When doing a RTH, don't move the camera. The manual is WRONG, precision landing uses the main camera. The drone looks for a round landing pad or marking and will lift the camera up just at the last instant of landing. Your landing failed because you moved the camera. My Fimi X8 SE 2022 V2 lands right in the middle of my round landing pad, 100% of the time. Also nice is that the recording turns off. While I have many more expensive drones, I always enjoy flying my Fimi drone, no OA, it's a drone pilot's dream to fly. I think that Fimi has finally got the horizon correct. BTW the $299 Fimi TX10 smart controller works well with the 2022 series Fimi X8 SE 2022 drones. IMO it is a much superior controller than the DJI RC, IMO as good as the DJI RC Pro.
Thank you Richard. I enjoy flying the Fimi too.
Great Job Marcus 👌👏!!! Fly awesom excellent image great camera 📸!! 1:50" sensor gorgeous testing!!
DJaleks! You are the Fimi X8SE expert my friend!
Well color me impressed. The horizon was flat and the picture quality was decent as well. Have they finally gotten their ducks in a row? Looks like they may have. For the lower to mid priced market this one might be a thumbs up now. Great vid Marcus!
Thank you Patrick! Yep, it's not bad. 👍
Marcus, you should fill up de gaps in the circle of the landing pad. Then the recognition will work perfectly with every drone: DJI, Hubsan, and Fimi obviously.
I've been told a circular pad works better.
The drones will see it as a circle, when you fill up the white lines on your hard plastic, waterproof pad.
I really loved my old Fimi X8 SE 2020, right up until it got knocked out of the sky by a golden eagle. I am going to give some serious thought to buying the 2022 model.
Sorry you lost your drone. I've never had a big bird give my drone a second look. 👍👍
Hya Marcus, My left eye is always watching left field in baseball, LOL.
It appears just like yours.
It sees okay but with glasses on it juts left for some reason.
The muscles must be torn somehow.
I had surgery for an alternating squint age 7 and it was good until about 35 or so.
When I saw that long trip to end of road at S N Canyon it was amazing.
I can not imagine what happened in force to create that WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is a heck of a drone for that small amount of cash.
Good video as well.
Ray C.
Yes Ray, this drone is a value proposition. Take care!
Well I'm sold on it...n have ordered one n are eagerly waiting for mine also from banggood for £412...after seeing this i can't wait for mine...cheers bud for the further review😉👍✌
You will have fun with it! Enjoy!
Great video Marcus,my fleet of drones includes the Fimi 2022 ,for the money it’s a fantastic drone …..
That's exactly right. For the price, it's quite good!
Excellent drone, excellent price, excellent video
Thank you Jason! I agree, it's a good value.
Marcus.. Please do a Mavic3 & X8SE test.. say in 1080p or 2k mode. They are both about the same size and weight and get the same speed. Interested to see if a sensor twice the size really makes a difference.
I'm sure that it would. Why not 4K to 4K GM? 🤷♂️
@@IdahoQuadcopter : I have found that 4k is so dependant on the SD card quality. Even some U3 cards can have bitrate issues. It's middle ground for both.. should be interesting. You know my issues with 4k ... I just don't see the sense. 😀
I have been looking at FIMI now, and I can't afford a DJI or Autel. I think this should fit the bill if I can get the 3D printed ND filter holder for it.
A full kit would be about 800 or so with the case, and two extra batteries, landing pad etc.
It's a good value for sure. 👍
Bang for the buck, FIMI seems to have created a great option for those needing a heavier drone at a great price 👍
Yes, that's it Alan. This one is about value for money. 👍
Its a great drone for the price 👍. IF you press the drone icon on the bottom right of the app when flying you can toggle between sport mode and normal mode 😉
Thank you for that tip! I'll use it. 🙂
Short sleeve shirt…. I’m jealous.
Ha! Yeah, this was in mid-October. 😃
Last New Years eve I don't know how but by app went into fullscreen mode. How in the heck did it do that. Couldn't see any of the control icons and it was only the view of the camera. X8SE V2.
If you swipe down on the screen you'll get the icons back. 👍
I prefer the color style, neither blue-tint nor yellow-tint, just right.
I agree, Fimi finally got their color science right.
Tx10 controller you might find out for the price may make you like it even more .
Yes, I hear the TX10 is pretty good.
I liked the 2020 edition myself
That's good!
Marcus, so are you going to order one of the new FIMI X8 Pro’s? I still never have got a nice, not toy, drone. This FIMI kinda looks interesting. You will have to tell us if it is going to be a good first starter drone. I always enjoy your flights! Take care, Tom
Thank you, Tom! I might get one if the price is right.
I still fly my 2020 fimi X8 no problems. I would like to see a different colourway than white.
They made a dark grey one for awhile.
Considering this is almost 1/3 the price of the DJI mavic 3 classic its pretty damned good value.
That's exactly right Jason. It's got value for money.
Fantastic 😎🤝
Thank you! Cheers!
The Fimi x8 may not have a big camera sensor, but it certainly is an absolute joy to fly, and is exceptional value for money.
And it has a Fimi smart controller available too.
I agree Ross. The camera is nowhere near what we see on DJI or Autel, but for the money, it's good enough.
Cool glasses!
Ha! 😎 Thank you!
If you were down in the canyon and RTH triggered. Would it fly into the canyon wall? Or would it rise to the set rth height above the launch height?
It would go into negative altitude as it descended. RTH would make it rise to whatever it was set at above the take off altitude.
@@IdahoQuadcopter awesome! Appreciate the reply. Putting this on my Christmas list
Great flight Marcus ! That darn horizon tilt (although not very pronounced) still reared it's ugly head though. Hopefully it will be fixed in the new Fimi that's coming out.
Thank you Bill! Yes, there are rumors of a new Fimi drone.
Would you be willing to sell any of your FIMI drones?
I have no drones for sale right now. Thank you!
As a DJI owner, I must say - I wasn't too impressed. At 8:10 its clear this thing doesn't handle the wind good enough. As its hovering, it wobbles all around the place. At 9:57, its clear the the dynamic range of the camera isn't too great - as you would expect from a Sony. Also, the Blue tone is too saturated. The video doesn't seems to be smooth, and from time to time it lags behind. This might be a slow memory card - I don't know for sure, but the effect is noticeable. At the corners of the frame, the picture is distorted, and colors are not homogeneous. At 9:33 there's an interference that seems to be coming from the props somehow. Overall, from a youtube video viewer's point of view, it seems a premature product.
Yeah, but it's good enough for just over $400.
Video has jello when viewed enlarged close up. lacks contrast
It's a $400 drone. 🤷♂️
Cool glasses!
