Thanks to your Fantastic videos on the Fimi Mini 3, I've purchased one from Bangood here in the Uk. Fantastic drone for the money, I've got an old DJI Mavic Platinum Pro from about 6 years ago and its surprising how the cameras have improved and the cost has come down. Keep up the good work and hope Fimi send you a gift for your hard work!
Hi Neil , don't discount the Platinum though , I have one too and to be honest , the picture on the Bird is still really good if you really concentrate on the Settings ! I was looking at my Video on my Platinum up to yesterday and the quality is still quite more True and Real than some of these more Modern Drones but I understand what you are saying cause with these Newer Ones , you don't have to do much settings to get a good picture , My Mini-2 is quite easy and simple to operate and with little to no settings of the camera , so I understand what you are saying .
You have some truly beautiful places to fly in, looking forward to hearing if the mini filters fit, and video if filters fit, keep these videos coming, new to fimi, fly 2 djis, but loving the fimi 3.
Sadly the fimi mini filters won’t fit on the new fimi mini v3, because of the new one have a slightly different design. But i did a little mod by clipping the mount on the filters and stick it on the camera with blu tack and it works, but the downside is the filter can come off anytime because of not having proper mount on the camera🙂
I could see where the F-LOG could come in handy, for toning the colors down a bit, especially the greens. And hopefully add some extra dynamic range to the video. Great demo of how it looks, and thanks for sharing GM. And thanks for heads up on the new Pro Tele model.
Yes.. F-Log is a better option for those of us that post edit our footage... As for the Tele - I'm after Fimi on pricing now... I can't see it more than the X8 Pro... it's a total experimental unit and the none O.A. "Tele" should be around $419?? Hard pass for me unless I can get it for about $299.
Just greatness. By the way I can't hold it anymore... I keep watching your videos and you resemble alot my father. Don't you have any Motta relatives ?
Yes... but look at the specs... one step forward... 2 steps back.. only a 1/2" sensor and Zoom is still only in SAR mode... its basically an X8 SE 2022 V2 and the Pro has O.A. ... I won't be buying into this Hype either!
@@ssb73q : When I looked.. it did not have the user manual ready.. now on page 18 I see it explained. Before the only zoom mentioned was the 30X hybrid which was associated with SAR. But Page 18 highlights another good feature in Zoom... they slowed down YAW to correspond to zoom amount. I hope it is a smoother Zoom function than what is on the 2022's. But I guess I will never know 🤷♂ 🤣... I've asked for pricing but not holding my breath.
@GorillamansGarage oh you were talking about filters so that's why I asked. Must have been referring to color grading filters in power director I reckon
Hi Gorila man, thanks a lot for your video. I just got my fimi mini 3 and I was excited to learn from your video that I have the f-log color profile to have more control over the color of my videos. I wanted to ask you if the filters you ordered are the same as those for the x8 or another fimi model because I can't find specific filters for the mini 3. Greetings from Spain!
Hello, I recently bought this drone and I would like to buy an nd filter with it but I can't find it, are there any compatible ones? Thank you for your explanatory videos, I find few videos on this drone
@@GorillamansGarage I tried the tracking and like you said it is kinda slow to follow and also loses you if you backtrack and go underneath the drone. But still pretty good at this price point. I still think ORBIT is the best. Much better than DJI. The possibilities are endless.
I am also waiting.. the camera is an old Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone. It takes the best overall footage I have found. I have tried many cameras but keep coming back to It.
@@GorillamansGarage waching on pc 2k(1440p) monitor. and believe me its a big difference between 1080 and 1440 especially drone footage more visible details
@@superiskiausias : Nice.. One problem is .. 1440p is not a standard 2k size (only YT). I'd have to go 4k (2160) and have YT offer 4k, 2k etc. I can't do that because 4k takes to long to render. I don't know of an editor that has a standard 1440p setting. Powerdirector & Fillmora do not.
Close but not quite right. What flat profiles (F Log, D log etc) do is just the same as what RAW photos do. Instead of trying to manage saturation and exposure to give you the most pretty image your digital camera can, it instead shoots every available bit of data the sensor picks up, and lets you come along afterwards and filter out what you don't want. The end result is washed out, low contrast, low saturation footage. Flog color profile save everything the sensor picks up, all at once, no polish. A LUT is a fast way to apply colour correction to that raw footage. A LUT is pretty much when you find settings in your color correction software that you like that work and hit "save as a preset." Been shooting flat video on fimi drones for 4 years now and they're great. And the DJI LUTs that come with Da Vinci (video editor) can all be used right out of the box, too.
Im still not sure about what was going on with the color profiles. Is that part of Flog, or are those color profiles used in post production in your PowerDirector software? Also, which specific powerdirector program do you use? They seem to have a lot of options including some with AI which Im not interested in trying. My old version of Adobe tried to update, and now it wont start without buying a new update version.
@@GorillamansGarage Ah, i wasnt familiar with the term LUT. PowerDirector looks like a capable program but I don't like the subscription model for software these days.

Hi GM, excellent video, thank you for sharing. The FIMI X8 Tele Pro is now shown on Fimi's website.

lugar lindo ,parabéns ,comprei um desses to esperando chegar
The mini 3 has a polarized filter? Can you see fish in the lake with it?
I don't use filters, sorry.
@GorillamansGarage oh you were talking about filters so that's why I asked. Must have been referring to color grading filters in power director I reckon
@@deanburrito6943 : Probably yes. I did try buying some for the X8 V2 but they did not function and no one has made them form the FM3 yet.
Is there an official LUT for this drone? I am trying to color it and I dont find any i formation about it
I thought a LUT was none specific.
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.
You're welcome!

Greetings from Spain!
There are no after market filters for the Fimi Mini 3. The outer housing of the camera is not the same as on the X8 Mini.
Also there is a Fimi Mini 3 SE coming soon. ( saw it on the fimi site)
Please.. show me a link!??
Hi Gorilla Man , I don't think I can remember a Fimi Mini-3 ! This must be a very New One !
😀😉👍
Hello,
I recently bought this drone and I would like to buy an nd filter with it but I can't find it, are there any compatible ones?
Thank you for your explanatory videos, I find few videos on this drone
@@thomasbeldo8467 : No Filters fit.
Do you use any ND filter?
No. There are none that fit correctly. The Fimi Gimbal system is not meant for added weight of filters.
You should have tried tracking the X8 SE with the Mini 3?
The object is too small and too fast for tracking. The Fimi Tracking is not that great and usually lags behind not keeping centered but very jerky.
@@GorillamansGarage I tried the tracking and like you said it is kinda slow to follow and also loses you if you backtrack and go underneath the drone. But still pretty good at this price point. I still think ORBIT is the best. Much better than DJI. The possibilities are endless.
I was wondering what is the camera you are filming these videos.. because that is the videoquality i'd like to see in those drones .😎
I am also waiting.. the camera is an old Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone. It takes the best overall footage I have found. I have tried many cameras but keep coming back to It.
Boa tarde! sabe me informar se a bolsa do x8 mini serve no fimi mini 3?
The drone in the case is the fimi mini 3
Have you tested the difference between 2.4ghz and 5ghz? which one is better?
Yes.. in my first Fimi Mini 3 video.
@@GorillamansGarage oops, gotta rewatch it😅
wish you could upload videos at least 1440p
