FIMI Mini 3 Drone with 3-Axis Gimbal 4K Camera,Under 249g,4K/60FPS Video,48MP Photo,12X Zoom, 9KM Transmission,32-Min Flight Time,AI Night Video,Visual Tracking,Auto Return,Foldable for Adults

Really cool drone for the price! Flight time/battery life is pretty on par with DJI, lots of smart modes and scenes that work perfectly, and super small drone for easy portability. The photos look good and I love the zoom feature.

The media could not be loaded. I have been looking for a drone that can record true 4k60fps video, hopefully for under $300. It seemed like an unattainable fantasy, but I saw this FiMi mini 3 drone on the website and it should fit the bill, so I immediately placed an order. I received it very quickly and couldn't wait to test fly it in my backyard and community park. The drone performed perfectly the first time, the flight was very stable, and the photos taken were clear and colorful. The 4K60fps video is smooth and vivid, and does not require any editing, which is pleasing to watch and share directly online. There are many other features that you don't usually find on beginner drones, such as waypoints and tracking; impressively, you can track for 10 minutes without missing a target. Quickshot must also be very fun, creating short videos like hovering in an instant. I will use it one by one and enjoy it.For a cheap beginner drone, it has too many advantages. This is the only 4K60fps drone! This is the best drone I bought this year.

This was one of my worst experiences with a product in my 64 years of life! I spent approx $400 bucks thinking I'd go with a good, middle class product and enjoy it for a long time! What a disappointing mistake!- 1st What sold me... The product description, it covered all the bases and then some! And then...-2nd Receiving the drone, it took forever to pair with iPhone to the frustrating point I wanted to send it back! Yes, it was that bad! Finally paired and my excitement level heightened... But then...-3rd The battery life drained from dinkin' around trying to pair it. And the few minutes of battery life that remained got chewed up with the dizzy thing's erratic behavior! "Ok, I thought it might be me not fully understanding something?" Called it quits for now.-4th. It took beyond ridiculously long to recharge! I took the time to scour and digest the pdf manual! Now I got this thing! Ha!-5th Two days later, weather was good, very slight breeze, time to fly After a few "touch n' goes" I was starting to have fun, BUT... it started to freak out again! Erratic flight like it had a mind of it's own! Fortunately, it was close enough where I plucked it out of the air! Yup! Grabbed it's underside while in flight and was able to turn it off! (My old Spidey/Ninja skills at their best! 😂) Shut everything down and frustratingly rebooted. And then...-6th Batteries drained, try next day... As you can tell, the batteries drain quickly. But later read, best use is between about 55° - 80°, and wind should be minimal! Next day struggled with a cpl touch n' goes. Hit the RTH button and it started to land which I thought was cool until it pulled an Ellon Musk on me! It landed then jumped up off the platform and flipped! Bounced itself to a 18" drop to the ground! Picked the dizzy thing up, all "appeared" to be good, BUT... Now the Gimbal was shot! Camera couldn't be directed in any direction! Battery was now done so that wad it for the day! Back inside, the camera rotated smooth and free in every direction. I'd read where other guys crashed their drones many times without issue. Should a back flop of 18" have rendered this "high quality" camera, high quality drone inoperative? Gets better...-7 It's been a week of mishaps. Read and reread the manual. Finally Amazon said I could send it back, so I boxed it up. Weather here in wintery PA was bad so I couldn't drive to the nearest Kohls right away as they're a half hour away. With winding, hilly, snowy roads, the mountain logging roads I live on were glare ice, I was land locked! Oh well, more time to research drones. Now I'm finding a lot of these drones are having similar issues! But one last idea! So I unboxed everything again, "REINSTALLED" the app and spent forever pairing it again! All to no avail. This piece of over priced plastic was just as bad as before! Boxed it up again, weather cleared and back it went! "BUT!!!!!"As of this review, it's been over a week since I dropped the drone off at Kohls. From Kohl's here in PA to the return center in NJ is about a 3 hr drive and... It's still "in transit!" WHAT!So do your homework and check the negative reviews. Don't settle on the 5 star happy reviews either. Notice how most of these drones have the same footprint! And have the same issues! Remember, even on YT they're trying to sell a product so all the reviews are wonderful. Do your research then make your decision.I really really wanted this thing to work too! Absolute disappointment!

I have the x8 mini version 1 and was somewhat ok with it but the range/signal strength was dreadfully poor, only 600m at best. Because it came with 3 batteries, I bought this one on sale since it was supposed to be updated. The range/signal strength is better, it's great in some serious wind, the batteries from the version 1 work in it, the camera is better and the compass calibration is easier with more satellite reception. Lastly, it's orange. I would have given it 5 stars if it flew close to its advertised range, but I'm happy with it, it's alot of drone for under $300.

The Fimi Mini 3 drone has been fun to fly and simple to navigate. This is my first drone and the learning curve was very minimal. The 4k video and camera is very impressive. Fimi definitely put thought into their beginner app settings to safe guard your flights until you get more comfortable.
