- The NEW Fimi Mini 3 has already got 2 Versions. Has Timestamp issues, Colour profile issues, Hidden secrets & confusing documentation.
What else is new right?
But it's a Fun little drone to fly.
*I did check my old "pro" Battery and it is identical to the one I got with the New Mini 3*
I did reduce the saturation and contrast about 10% and it took the glare of colour off. But that was in post editing. I have sent Fimi all my videos to date.
Added note: *The Geo Codes in the images are way - Way off* My photos had codes putting me 40 miles east of the actual location.

**Another nugget** (Not Documented) - in SAR using Zoom.. you can zoom in and out by using the scroll wheel while holding down the Camera button on the controller (thanks to "Milton Papa" for the reminder). The screen indicator does not move but the camera does zoom in and out.
This kind of testing is very valuable GM. Thank you for taking the time!
Great Vid. Thank you for the real world explanations! I like this one and the New Potensic Atom. Funny how big they were to little mini's that last longer, farther and better cameras.
Thank you. One thing I noticed when you had the drone near you, in the yard, the number of GPS stat number range from 15 to 22 and yeah at higher altitudes the numbers were more stable. Probably just a lot of interference near the house and below the trees, and wind too.
Correct.. The amount of moisture in the trees really affect everything. Also each house puts out some horrific wifi signals.
Please ask Fimi about raw format for photos! That would be so important!
That has been asked for a long time. As the Mini series are not really professional grade tools... I doubt they will improve much over what they are already. Unfortunate , yes.. but until Fimi develops a strong prosumer lineup.. it is what it is.
Interesting that you can dial back the nuclear green by playing with the ISO. And for people who never take their footage into a editing program, this is a nice find. But for someone like me, I would just tone the green down during the edit. This video was like the Fimi version of my favorite western, the Good, the Bad and Ugly. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks.. yes for me its easy just to dial down the Sat 10% in editing for now.
Hi GM. thanks for the interesting review video. You used the word scuttlebutt. Were you ever in the military, navy?
No.. but thought it had a few relevant meanings here. Thanks for watching.😀
Great review, thanks once again. Have had a lot of fun with my Mini 3 and can 't wait for the 2nd free battery to arrive. Ordered extra props just in case. Haven't had the weather to explore all of the options that come with this drone so this was helpful. Prefer manual video settings but don't see the ISO or shutter settings when I check the manual mode as I do with the X8SE 2022 drone. So, I've been flying in auto mode.
When you switch to Manual.. you have to exit the settings window and the ISO - Shutter icons appear at the bottom of the screen. They are sliders like the EV one.
@@GorillamansGarage Sorry, tried that and I still don't see the ISO or SHUTTER settings. Where do you go to find the two after you select manual and exit that screen window?
@@phoebesnow6986 : At 6:20 in this video.. at the bottom .. once you select Manual... where the EV selector icon was , now becomes a series of other icons.. to the left of the video resolution icon. They are all universal image icons that open up a small slider window.
Does it allow you to adjust the maximum height in case you want to climb a mountain while staying close to the trees?
I have heard this question before but never really thought about it. The circumstances would be limited to a very few scenarios but I see the point. I will look into it.
@@GorillamansGarage Thanks for checking, you can still keep it in line of sight with a strobe light, but it is soo much fun to hug the trees and climb to the top.
Hint: With the Pro battery, it is a sub 250g drone??? 🇨🇦
Mini x8 V2 I can change the ISO like this fimi mini 3? Thanks
How do you transfer video to your phone from fimi mini3
@@danwolfe2249 : You have to have it all connected. Waste of time. Just remove sd. card and use adapter for phone.
I had my choice between the DJI mini 4K or the potensic atom or the Fimi mini 3 and I chose the Fimi because it has quick shot I know that you don't care for it but I do. I'm still waiting to receive mine. I'm curious about the live streaming feature. Could you do a video about explaining that feature please
DJI mini 4K and Potensic Atom have quickshots, too.
The quickshots take an auto video , one way only. I am planning on doing a video on them soon in more detail. As for live stream.. last I heard, Fimi did not have the licencing from YT to do it.
@@GorillamansGarage gotcha I appreciate your reply. I'm starting to think I should have gotten the DJI mini 4K. The same reason I got the Fimi is the larger sensor size, higher resolution, & 60 fps, however after watching your videos I'm kind of thinking the mini 4K would have been the better choice.
@@chazf883 : I see where you are coming from. For sheer image quality the DJI Mini 4k would be a no brainer. The lack of features and the NFZ issue warns many away though. The DJI Mini 4k has the same camera (basiclly) as the Mavic Mini. I still say the 2.7k of the MAvic Mini is awesome but it has no range, is horrible in wind and the folding design is bad for the props (as with all their mini drones). The range on the DJI Mini 4k (& Mini3) are exceptional for what they are. If you use the "Rainbow App" (I have a few ways to cheat the system on that front).. for the DJI products.. you get all the functionality of the other drones except for the NFZ issue. On the Fimi front.. I like their design 100%.. I like the USB-C charging 100%.. I like the folding of the props & gimbal guard 100%.. I like the wind resistance 100%.. I don't mind the range & with the boosters I can get a feww 100m further.. 75%.. I like the Waypoint mission planner 99% (except for the red ring issue).. I like the way it updates things 100%.. I have now had 4 of the Fimi Mini drones and liked them all. I understand that some may not have the same luck but because it's not perfect... it's more fun. Did you watch my first video on the Fimi Mini 3? where I flew the DJI Mini 3 after the Fimi Mini drones?? Yes.. I'm not blinded by Fimi... DJI is King of the hill for a reason... they just work - right out of the box- and CS is just a phone call away - even for us here 🇨🇦
Choose this or potensic atom sir ?
I'd take any Fimi over the current Potensic. But I am looking forward to what Potensic will come out with next.
@@GorillamansGarage thanks
I have 6 DJI drones, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, AIR 2S, AIR 3, & FPV Drone. I also just got the Autel Evo Lite Plus,Premium Bundle & The Potensic Atom 3 Axis Gimbal Fly More Combo. I haven't opened the Autel yet, but I just got done flying the Atom for tbe first time. I think I was expecting, more from the Atom, as far as range & Camera quality goes. Is the Fimi Mini 3, more on par with DJI, than the Atom? It looks like the Fimi Mini 3 Camera Sensor, is alot better than the Atoms. Im used to the awesome range & camera quality, of all my DJI drones, & the Atom seems like a little better than toy grade. I was able to push the Atom.out to a half mile, in wide open North Dakota. But Ive taken my AIR 3 out, 5 miles & still had 4 bars of signal strength, & returned with 30% of battery life. Ive take all ny DJI Minis out 3+ miles without any issues whatsoever. I was getting the video tranmission warning, on the Atom at a half mile, & I only had 2 bars of signal. Im studying for ny Part 107 & I wanted a couple decent non Geofenced drones, thats why I bought the Evo Lite +, & the Atom. The Atom was a mistake, should I buy this Fimi Mini 3, or a Autel Nano + as a back up non Geofenced drone to My Lite +?
Once Fimi gets the bugs out, it should be a good dji alternative. I got about a mile out in one video which is unheard of for me here.
@@GorillamansGarage Thank you for the fast resonse, & from what I've seen, This new Fimi looks pretty decent. I think that Potensic is on the right track, if they release the Atom 2 with a better camera, & fix the short range issue. They will have winner.
@@johnmajka5404 : I agree... people have been asking me to get the ATOM.. I keep saying... wait for version 2 :D
Do you know if the TX10 remote works with the mini 3?
Now, wouldn't that be a treat? Unfortunately not.
We're is the zoom on this thing ?
That was in my SAR video th-cam.com/video/hbCb_ountAA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cSgeWEMtTpSoVYC9
I really wish they would just put a + and - button to change the EV and ISO parameters. That slider is a royal pain.
Buy a DJI and use the wheel on the right side and the buttons on the bottom 😞
I agree. The controller needs another wheel.
@@krl1607 that would defeat the point of not buying dji products.
I just don't like all the interference notifications and it's toilet bowl effect I mean it's just so damn sensitive...
Other than that it's the features...
I used to get the magnetic interference and compass problems all the time with my V1, but my new V2 isnt giving me any trouble with those at all. It isnt rock solid in a hover, but I wouldnt call it toilet bowl either, at least not with my V2.
@@starhawke380 well we know that of there bigger birds.. Only talking of this bird not the v2 big bird or the 2020 model none of there bigger drones suffer toilet bowling...
This one is calm if yu let it take of on its own and leave it but if you throttle it up manually on take of it will...
Well maybe on your v1 version but none of my other models toilet bowled...
We are all hopefull that there will be a few firmware updates coming soon.
@@MiltonPapa I wasn't clear on my models. I had a fimi mini v1 that crashed when i flew it in a forest with no gps lock. My new bird is a fimi mini v2. I've never had one of their larger versions.
another good video. I have the latest videos on the smoke in Garden Valley Idaho. Come see the horror!
There is only one definition for these batteries: Lithium-ion polymer !! Everything else is an invention of “drone players” 😊
Are you saying that a LiPo & Li-ion battery are the same?
@@GorillamansGarage Yes ! Lithium batteries: Lithium is found in the ionic state and lithium ions circulate in polymers containing Graphene : I am a chemist and I know "a little"
@@infrastructure-h9b : I do not doubt your knowledge.. Just that in the Drone world there is a "World" of difference between what is called LiPo battery and a Li-ion battery. I have had several LiPo batteries catch fire, explode and swell.. never have I seen a Li-ion react. I guess they are made of the same stuff.. kinda!
@@GorillamansGarage The capacity of the 2 batterie is different : the rest is the same ! Believe what you want , it is the same for me !! 😁
@@GorillamansGarage Take a magnifying glass and look at the battery: Lithium-ion Polymer battery; Lithium-ion battery 😊
I have received the FIMI mini 3 and so far I am not impressed at all. The images are blurry lacking any definition and very saturated. The signal range is just really bad as I cannot even reach 400 meters without losing signal on a route wer both, the Potensic atom and DJI 4k I can easily go 3km, no worries. Night mode or manual mode during night is just plain BAD and I really can't find any use for.
I completely understand.. The QC from Fimi is really a hot in the dark. If Potensic come out with an upgrade to the ATOM (better camera etc) .. Fimi is in trouble for sure.
