Description

Description

The foldable quadcopter Xiaomi Fimi X8 SE is a member of the "Mijia/Youpin" family of the Chinese company.

The built-in, on the 3-axis gimbal, 4K camera guarantees stable video shots even at high speeds.

It features a 5GHz remote control with a range of 5km. Its light weight (790gr) and the 4500mAh battery give it a flight autonomy of 33 minutes.

Sony IMX378 Sensor

CMOS 1/2.3" 12MP sensor

The Sony sensor features a wide field of view and high color performance with low battery consumption. The f2.2 aperture combined with the pixel size (1.55μm) enhances the camera's performance in low light conditions.

3-Axis Mechanical Gimbal

The 3-axis mechanical gimbal of the X8 SE has an accuracy of 0.004° thanks to its lightweight design and the use of professional motion algorithms. These features allow for stable video capture at high speeds or in strong winds.

HD video transmission

Up to 5km in real-time

The X8 SE uses the most updated encoder and decoder of the built-in 2nd generation HD video transmission protocol TDMA, as well as interference reduction systems to transmit high-quality images with minimal delay at a distance of up to 5km.

Aerodynamic Design

Less noise

The aerodynamically designed body of the X8 SE, combined with the high-density LiPo battery and the high-energy efficiency motors and propellers, not only provide it with a flight time of 33 minutes, but also help reduce noise by 7dB compared to its predecessor. 

Remote Control

Ergonomic controller with detachable ends. This new design makes the controller compatible with all mobile sizes as well as tablets with screens up to 7.9".

    I have had it for quite some time now and I can say that I am very satisfied.

    It doesn't reach the 8 kilometers it claims, but it is very reliable, very fast, and takes very good photos and videos.

    I believe it is worth its money

    I have had it for 2 years and after a long time, I have come to some conclusions. I use it for YouTube videos and the "noise" in the image is evident in every shot, regardless of the quality. You get what you pay for. Its range does not satisfy me as the signal is easily lost even at a relatively short distance. The photos are satisfactory for amateurs, but the videos are disappointing. For a first drone, it is relatively good, but it doesn't do anything more and it's not worth its money. From now on, only DJI, specifically the Mavic Air 2

    I have the X8SE since May 2019, one of the first ones that arrived in Greece, I bought it for 376€.
    At that time, the anticipation was unbelievable, it was the first time something with such capabilities, range, flight duration, 3 Axis gimbal, 4K, etc. was released at such a price.
    Even now, with this amount of money, you can't buy something better, more powerful, more sturdy.
    Its main competitor, the ZINO, has some good features, especially in the camera, but in terms of flight performance and reliability, Hubsan is behind Xiaomi-Fimi.

    I am updating the evaluation, the drone fell into the sea on its own, it gave me a sudden message of communication problem with the battery, I pressed the RTH but it didn't manage to return and it fell into the sea. My issue is that I sent them all the logs and they don't recognize anything, they say that the battery was not properly connected, which I exclude 100% that it is my fault because I always double-check the battery before flying it, also it can't fly normally for 5 minutes and then disconnect in the air on its own, also on the internet there are many reports about the same issue. Wasted money from now on only dji.

    For the 650€ I spent to acquire it, I was not satisfied. Its durability is not very good, for example, the bottom part of the arm that touches the ground broke without ever having a rough landing. The signal would often get lost quite easily. Many times it would freeze while recording a 10-second video and I had to change the settings and restore them. Finally, one beautiful day, after 10 seconds of flight, it suddenly stopped working and luckily fell into the sea and not on someone's head... That's it...

    It is the best value for money product available, if its price drops in Greece it is a very good purchase especially for an introduction to the world of serious drones, it is a Mavic Air without the sensors, everything else has exactly the same experience. Very satisfactory autonomy, cheap spare parts, the only thing that bothers me is the quality of the photo because the video is good. Make sure to also get a fairly good SD card because otherwise you will not have satisfactory results in 4K.

    Maybe the best drone for its price.
    It satisfies even the professional.
    The advantage is the smart features it has and it covers the professional need cheaply.
    From abroad, it has no competitor for about 430 euros.
    Tested, it reached over 5 kilometers and maybe 6.
    Honestly, I don't understand why it is so overpriced in Greece.
