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 Citylife Padilla

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quality drone at a great price

This is a great drone for the money and Jim Camera is a great supplier. Very fast delivery and great service. This drone performs best in more open and rural areas than urban or even suburban environments as it struggles to acquire the minimum number of GPS satellites required to fly in GPS mode with no clear skies. .I will say that even without full-fledged GPS, the drone is very stable and flies well. Just be very careful when flying out of GPS mode. The software is intuitive and easy to use, and the drone's firmware and app are well supported with frequent updates and patches as needed. This version is a gradual upgrade from the previous model, slightly reducing the weight of the drone, which increases flight time by several minutes. The battery and propellers are the same as many other accessories. So it's a pretty mature platform. The fit and finish of the drone and controller is good for the money. The camera is very high quality and takes great videos and photos. I personally wouldn't recommend it as a first drone unless you're an adult, willing and able to shoot slowly and carefully. This drone requires FAA registration even for recreational use. The charger that comes with the drone works well and is small enough to carry around. I highly recommend getting a second battery and some spare props.
