Review on 🚁 XiaoMi FIMI X8 SE 2020: Advanced Quadcopter UAV with 4K Video, 8km Range Transmission, and 35mins Flight Time - The Perfect Drone for Adults! by Anthony Flores

I don't think you can beat this drone for the money. I fly a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom for work and this drone is very similar in image and video quality. Overall, it has a lot of great features. - Build Quality: In general, the materials are of very good quality. Nothing about it feels cheap compared to even more expensive drones. The arms unfold and lock into place with the expected effort, and there's nothing wobbly or wobbly about it. The props fit well and are easy to distinguish. - Flight Quality: The biggest problem was the connection. It has a range of 8km, but populated areas really limit it. I can usually get 1500 to 2000 horizontal feet and it starts digitizing the image. DJI keeps this image quality much better in flight. Photo and video quality. The photos and videos from the SD card are top notch, but not very good "live". If you need to see a lot of detail when flying, this drone might not be for you. Features It has the same flight functions like orbit, spiral, waypoint flight, follow me and everything seems to work fine. Auto return works very well, especially when the connection drops. Every time he came home. If you point the gimbal to the ground and have a helipad, it will even land by itself. Pretty awesome feature as you can sit back and just watch it work. Works best with an open landing area. Remote Control: I personally like the expandable remote control and the screen between the joysticks. I have a Samsung 20+ and it fits. It comes with cables for Apple, USB-C, and standard mini-USB. The remote control itself is very strong and of high quality. Overall, though, I don't think the range is as good as some other more expensive brands. The work stays with itself, although it feels good and travels. The remote control has a good place to put it so they can be kept safe. - App: As far as I know, the app has the same functions as DJI. It might be missing a few shots, but none of them would escape the average drone pilot. You can adjust flight distance from you, max altitude, enable/disable precise landing, it records every flight and has flight record, you can go back and view all status during flight displayed on screen and location displays the drone on the map during flight, you can calibrate the remote control and compass, change the joystick mode, it has many other flight modes, in short, the drone pilot is not lacking in features. You can also customize the buttons on the remote using the app. It shows the number of satellites you are connected to. Has update for drone remote control signal. Batteries 35 minutes corresponds to the service life under normal conditions. I've been in the air for 25 minutes and I have 15% battery power left. The only thing I don't like is that it only comes with one. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and feel like I can use it to shoot professional grade footage when I need it. It responds well to controls with some lag at times. In total I registered 24 flights with minor problems and no departures. The worst thing that happened to me was the loss of communication at the very beginning of the flight, but it was near a water tower with cellular antennas. Every time I lost connection it went into return home mode. Even once the app completely crashed and I had to close it.
