I just scored a Fimi Mini 3 on aliexpress for $320 AUD ($220 USD) and I'm STOKED! I've been flying my Fimi X8 SE for 4 years and I'm really impressed with the FLOG colour setting and using luts in DaVinci to colour correct in post. I'm really excited for the much better image sensor. The X8 SE is amazing in full daylight with the ND filters to stop it down, but it's let me down trying to film lightning storms because they mean low light. The Mini 3 should solve that for me. Beast little drones, Fimis.
DJI Have Ruled The Market For So Many Years, Great To See Other Drone Manufacture's Now Catching Up And Producing Even Better And More Advanced Sub 250 Gram Drones For The Money, Have Had My DJI Spark Six Years Keeping It But Fimi Mini 3 Is Packed Full Of Features And Technology Offering GV For Money. Will Test And Check This Drone Out And Use ViFly Platinum Strobe On It To See It In Gloomy Light Conditions. 😢
Amazing comparison, I really liked how well you detailed each aspect. I know that the FIMI Mini 3 is superior in specs to the DJI Mini 4K, but the comparison is still fair since they are in the same price range.
A few years ago I bought a DJI Spark (still have it and it works very good), Next I bought a Fimi X8 SE (still have it and it also works very good), then I bought Fimi mini 3 - still getting use to it but it does everything that I would want.. I am very happy with all 3 drones.. I often down sample as 4K does not do well on 1080P monitors..
I own DJI mini 3 and its very good, but i miss tracking options. So im going to probably sell it and buy Fimi mini 3. But I wanted to buy a drone for my dad who is not as demanding as me, and I will probably buy mini 4k for him, due to simple reason: DJI Care, if he crashes it and he never flown a drone or even played a simple video game on gamepad, then he will be able to get it fixed for small amount of $$$. For me Xiaomi wins, i have flown over 100 hours on my mini 3 and never even was close crashing it ;) If Xiaomi would release a competition to mini 3 pro or 4 pro with obstacle avoidance it would be perfect.
The camera is only as good as the drones range. No doubt, the DJI is far superior, in that regard, which is much more important to me. Who really cares how good the pics/video look, if you lose signal anyway?
Bro 600 m is pleanty enough for 260€ drone. This is for those with a lot nfz around them. Its a great proposition for the money. No doubt dji mini 4 is superior but is 3 times the price and potential geofencing limit for many.
Hey! I have a question. I have Fimi x8 mini 3. In the app I have a coverage icon shaped like the phone coverege and the range of the drone is a maximum of 700m. I have seen on other videos that the icon is shaped like a wifi icon and then the range is bigger.
Just awaiting a Fimi mini 3 , it will be my first "Camera Drone" although I've been flying FPV for years and Helis and fixed wing RC for decades. It seemed the best value at that price point although close ito the Dji 4k or the Atom
It is the best drone in this price range. I'm currently comparing it side by side with the DJI Mini 4 Pro, which costs more than twice as much, and it can actually hold its own against this professional DJI drone.
@@DRONIOS-com So far very impressed , has done everything asked very stable even in blustery conditions , just about to take it to Uffington to film the white horse and Hill fort as a test . Thnx for uploading
One can definitely see that FIMI is technologically backed by Xiaomi. I truly hope that now, alongside DJI and Autel, a third serious drone manufacturer is emerging.
The problem with this comparison is forgetting to mention for the 1-battery version, the DJI Mini 4K is $50USD cheaper! The comparison should be with the discontinued DJI Mini 2. I have all these mini 4K capable drones, and for FIMI X8 I have the Mini, Mini V2 and Mini 3, and I also have the original DJI Mini, Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro and other similar drones. DJI wins hands down in terms of reliability and the FIMI Mini wins in the "feature" department. DJI seems to insist that tracking must be with obstacle avoidance, which means you only get the tracking, waypoint, etc on DJI drones with obstacle avoidance. Therefore, Mini 4K and Mini 3 lag of these features. On the other hand, of all the mini drones of lower price, the X8 Mini 3 has the best WayPoint capability. The problem is that you have to be very careful because it does not have the obstacle avoidance capability. In terms of image quality, if you did not get exposure correct, the comparison is not fair. The FIMI X8 Mini 3 produces more saturated images with default setting, but the DJI's looks more neutral. There are more differences, of courses. However, differences are just differences (or preferences) and cannot be used for saying which one is better than the other.
My thought is that the best drone to have is one that will take off when you want it to. My fimi will launch anywhere i askit to. My friends dji mini 4 rarely launches without having to get permission, if available. So far, no cell signal, no launch. Fimi rules.
Dear one. I thank you for the comparison but I have to spend time trying to decipher abbreviations and acronyms. Please consider that you are trying to communicate to the world not to a handful of people knowable in today technologies. I consider this a documentary to the general public and therefore have to be in normal classic English without regionalisms or private jargon even though you hear it from others. I believe if you pronounce or spell the acronyms and abbreviations fully will make a world of a difference to understand more easily what you are trying to convey for the people outside the "box" who are trying to fallow you. Hopping I am helping you be the better today that yesterday. Best Regards and keep the good work.
Yes some days 300meters the next 3klm the next 500meters .. Crap range .. A hardy drone that's for sure and for recording it's fantastic just it's range sucks badly no matter how you try .. On the clearest day ready for a decent flight and after all those updates it's range seems worse .

DJI Mini 3 vs Fimi mini 3 should be next , also mention all the features that the Fimi mini has that Dji does not tracking etc

Fimi está incrível! Ótima concorrente para a dji 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks for this video! really helpful, I'm now considering a Fimi Mini over the mini 4k thanks to this comparison. quality content!

Thanks for the well detailed comparison review. You saved me from buyer's remorse as I was considering purchasing a DJI Mini 4K
Beautiful. Congrats. Liked. All the best.
Many thanks

Superb quality content❤Appreciate a lot for your politeness😇♥️love it from srilanka ❤️😌
Thank you so much 😀
Please comparise Air 3 vs Mini 4K 😊
I have Air 3, but I want to buy all day carry around mini drone and cheap (Mini 4 Pro is too expensive)
Any thoughts on signal strength comparison between the two?
DJI is even better in this regard. However, I couldn't test it directly because I'm only allowed to fly within line of sight here.
Hubsan mini 1 inch outshines both, but it is hard to find for sale
Looks great on Xiaomi Fimi.
Should i buy a fimi mini 3 now?
Cara, pra mim os 2 são muito tooop!!

A drone is more than just the camera.
Dji Mini 4 pro VS fimi mini 3?
nice job 👍
Yes some days 300meters the next 3klm the next 500meters ..
Crap range ..
A hardy drone that's for sure and for recording it's fantastic just it's range sucks badly no matter how you try ..
On the clearest day ready for a decent flight and after all those updates it's range seems worse .
nice review
The fimi mini 3 footage looks oversharpened
Dji mini 4 pro vs mimi 3
In fact it's Dji Mini 2 vs fimi mini 3. Of course fimi mini 3 is better in Camera Department
A week after I bought my mini SE 2 they released the mini 4k smh.
ua-cam.com/video/Sxdoa4wW29E/v-deo.html
I've compared even more situations! In my opinion, the Mini 2 SE is actually better than the 4K!
Fmi mini 3 vs FJI Mini 2
And the DJI edited footage looks worse than unedited
Finally someone telling it like it is instead of DJI fan boys who will say anything DJI wants them to say..>LOL
thank you !!
