@@BringerOfLight1 I've noticed that the price of this keeps changing on Amazon. One day it will be $349 for the two battery combo, then the next day it will be $419. So yeah, it might be a good idea to wait. And that coupon button has disappeared on my Amazon page.
This probably the best drone ever from Fimi. The camera is a big improvement over the first version of this drone. Great review Jim, and thanks for sharing.
Ref: 7:33 => The supplied "on-the-go" cable/s use a right angle connector end for the phone/iphone port. This may cause a problem because if the phone user has installed an impact (drop) resistant sleeve around their phone, the right angled connector hangs up on this sleeve and can't be properly inserted into the phone. A straight end connector, similar to the opposite end of the "on-the-go" cable would have been better for this reason.
I fly a couple of DJI’s Mini drones and have been bothered by birds mistaking it as a threat. Wonder if the Fimi’s bright orange fuselage is any help deterring bird attacks. Cheers from BC🇨🇦
"Fimi Navi Mini" app. Recommend watching the video, especially where I prepare the drone for flight, starting at 12:17 . I go over the steps needed to get it in the air.
It's functions are actually quite similar to those of the X8 se which is pretty old now. I guess it already was a great package. However it's much lighter and has less bugs.
@@Quadcopter101 i guessed so, i responded to the question because i really do like such tie-dyed patterns, and do such dying experiments with all kinds of textiles from time to time since my youth ^^, so i was just honest when responding. I like your shirt (-;
Hello do you know if this drone can be paired to 2 remotes please? For example if i fly it to my friends (abroad) could they then use a remote to fly it back to me? Thank you
@Quadcopter101 thanks for the reply and you saved me buying another one lol. I knew it couldn't have 2 accounts but I wasn't sure if using the (guest mode) if you could have 2 remotes that way. Thanks though 😊
i need help I ordered a fimi mini 3 and I'm waiting for it to arrive. and do I need another drone for training? it doesn't have to have a camera, it's important to me that it has a range of 200m to 300m, a flight length of 10 to 15 minutes. can you recommend me something. price around 50 eur
No, you shouldn't need another drone. Since you've already purchased this one, it should do as it's very easy to fly. But as a new flier, I strongly urge you not to make the common beginner's mistake of seeing how high or how far it can go. Doing such almost always leads to disaster with new pilots. Keep it low and near until you've become very comfortable with controlling the drone, and using its features. The second most common mistake is beginner's trying their first flight in a confined area. This almost always leads to crashes with objects damaging the drone. To avoid this, make sure to fly in an open area/field, away from trees and buildings.
I have a few Fimi's and will never buy one again! Zero customer service and they are glitchy if you're serious about footage don't buy. If you get a broken one you will get no refund or no replacement but you will get months of emailing to China
Quad - Poor Me 😭💦 - Unfortunately Amazon Does Not Ship This Drone TO SINGAPORE . ANY SUGGESTIONS ? 🤔 ? I Wanted To Get The Fly More Combo With 2 Batteries ( I Usually Go For 3 Batteries ) . I Don't Have Friends In The US Of A ( except maybe You ) Who Can Buy And Ship To Me 😬🥶🥵🤢😪

This drone is capable of going MUCH further than that. Are you pointing the antennas properly? The flat sides of the antennas should be pointed at and facing the drone. Do not point the tips of the antennas at the drone, as that gives the worse reception. To aid in pointing, use the radar screen in the lower left corner of the app. That shows where the drone is in relation to you, along with the direction that you're facing. Here's an example flight where I did such. ua-cam.com/video/FBvQz3hsYDE/v-deo.html
The GPS follow-me of the Fimi A3 was a billion times more usable in real life than this optical tracking. Look at the video. You can't even get he landscape in view. All you see it you from above. Also why do you call it 'Hubsan style?" Hubsan is GPS follow-me? Completely different.
Junk. Brand new out of the box would not connect to the controller. Charged batteries, charged controller, phone in airplane mode, read instructions, watched videos, attempted troubleshooting, got no response from support. 10 failed attempts to connect controller to the Fimi. Had a friend make 3 attempts. Packed it up and sending back for a refund after 5 hours of failure.
Sorry that you didn't get a chance to try it out. It's a really nice drone. It's my current favorite. But as per the user manual, if the controller won't connect with the drone, doing the following will reconnect the two. 1. Turn on both the controller and drone. 2. Wait 20 seconds, then press and hold the controller power button until you hear a beep. 3. Press and hold the drone's power button until the tail light turns off. Pairing is successful when both the controller's power button turns white, and the drone's light comes back on.

Most thorough review of this drone.
This probably the best drone ever from Fimi. The camera is a big improvement over the first version of this drone. Great review Jim, and thanks for sharing.
Hi, thank you for the very comprehensive review of the Fimi Mini 3. It is an amazing drone for the cost.
A return to home that's spot on 🎯
Very nicely and thoroughly done! Thank you!

Probably not. Birds hate drones lol
@@samholdsworth420 Thanks, was hopeful though🙂
Well, that IS why they make birdshot LMAO. drop the birds before they drop YOUR bird
Hi bro
What range you achieved? And how much was battery timing?
best video on this drone, thank you.
Glad you liked it.
What app am I supposed to download?
The instructions leave a lot to be desired.
"Fimi Navi Mini" app. Recommend watching the video, especially where I prepare the drone for flight, starting at 12:17 . I go over the steps needed to get it in the air.
Really appreciate this video thanks a lot 👍
I love it i hope to get it for Christmas
It's functions are actually quite similar to those of the X8 se which is pretty old now. I guess it already was a great package. However it's much lighter and has less bugs.
about your t-shirt at 15:30 ... i really love tie dye t-shirts ! 😁🖤 Just like lava lamps as well, fun stuff for the right mood. 👌
It's my trademark. "How do you like my shirt today folks?" I ask that same question in every one of my camera drone videos.

Excellent review thank you
An impressive drone. I was interested in purchasing it until I found out the price ! The price if purchased from Australia is about $1200 !
Damn!
Banggood has it for $560aud delivered with 2 batteries
@ Wow, that’s a huge price difference. I’ll check it out right now. Thanks for the tip.
@@DJAYPAZThat sounded like a straight advert brah
Quite the package for $349... but where do you get the 2 batteries, the case and the double charger?? The $349 is the basic package one battery only.
im struggling anywhere to find out does this drone do a 360 photo sphere like the dji mini 2 /mini 4k can do. Does anyone know ?
I’m going to go here to fly today 😊
Saturdays there can be busy. But have fun.
Hello do you know if this drone can be paired to 2 remotes please? For example if i fly it to my friends (abroad) could they then use a remote to fly it back to me? Thank you
No, it can't. Sorry.

Very nice next one
i need help
I ordered a fimi mini 3 and I'm waiting for it to arrive.
and do I need another drone for training? it doesn't have to have a camera, it's important to me that it has a range of 200m to 300m, a flight length of 10 to 15 minutes. can you recommend me something. price around 50 eur

Can it go live
Yes, it has that feature in the menus. However, I haven't tried it yet.
@@Quadcopter101 : But it does not work.
Nice
My gimbal took a dumb and won’t initialize
Have you tried calibrating the gimbal while the drone is on a flat level surface? It's the fourth icon down in the Fimi Navi Mini app's settings menu.
@@Quadcopter101 yup it won’t do it
Then you might have gotten a defective drone. Recommend contacting your vendor to see if they can help.
I have a few Fimi's and will never buy one again! Zero customer service and they are glitchy if you're serious about footage don't buy. If you get a broken one you will get no refund or no replacement but you will get months of emailing to China
Not bad 400bug
400 dollars??? I'll move on...😳😖
Check it again. Price has dropped.
