Tiny design and lightweight
The Xiaomi FIMI X8 SE RC drone boasts a size of only 73 x 106 x 204mm (folded size), and its total weight is reduced by 42.8% than the Xiaomi Mi drone 4K. So the FIMI X8 SE comes with a very compact size and portable design, you can easily carry it anywhere.
Suitable for any conditions
The Xiaomi FIMI X8 SE RC drone combined the 3-axis mechanical framework and the latest professional control algorithm, which will bring you high quality image shooting and smooth video transmission even if it is flying in strong windy conditions.
Sony IMX 378 sensor
What are the advantages of FIMI X8 SE over Mi drone 4K cameras? It has a 1/2.3 inch 12 MP IMX378 sensor (it is the best 1/2.3 inch sensor) and an f/12.2 inch aperture lens. Surprisingly, it has lower power consumption, higher dynamic range and better color performance. I'm sure you will fall in love with it immediately once you try it.
Better image processor
With the Ambaralla professional image processor, FIMI X8 SE can shoot amazing 4K/30fps video with a recording speed of 100 Mbps and a shutter speed up to 1/8000 second. In addition, in order to retain more post-processing details, it adopts a new F-LOG mode and DNG raw image.
Real-time video transmission function
FIMI X8 SE adopts the second generation of high definition digital video transmission system of TDMA. With the latest encoder and decoder, its video quality can be shot better and the delay lower. Strong anti-jamming performance and adaptive stream bit rate technology increase the image transmission distance to 5 km.
Longer flying time
In order to make it stay in the air longer, it adopts the aerodynamic design, efficient engine, propeller, and high-density smart lithium batteries. In addition, compared with the Mi drone 4K, its noise has been reduced by 7dBm.
Powerful flight planning shooting functions
It has powerful flight planning shooting functions such as task settings, flight settings, Map settings, and so on. You can easily set these flight plannings via the dedicated APP on your smartphone. All of these features will offer you customized and fun flying experience.
Various remote controllers
It can be compatible with all types of mobile phones. Even the iPad Mini can control it. So you don't need to buy an extra remote controller.
Visual tracking system
Because of the powerful artificial intelligence technology of the visual tracking system, it can always accurately locate the target.
GPS + GLONASS dual-star positioning system
The GPS+GLONASS dual-star positioning system is adopted to make hover more accurate and positioning faster. With a front main camera and a bottom camera, the FIMI X8 SE drone can still hover steadily even if it flies in the GPS-denied environment.
Many protection functions for safer flight
FIMI X8 SE has many protections for a safer flight, including the Return to Home, Dual IMU Systems, GPS Real-time, Automatically Hover When Approaching No-fly Zone, Low-battery Reminding for Return, Wind Warming, Excessive Power Warning, and so on. I have tried all of them, and I feel that they are really useful.
SAR (Search And Rescue ) mode
FIMI X8 SE features a SAR mode for rescue. It has a portable and light design, a remote video system and a flight time as high as 33 minutes, which are very helpful for the rescue missions.
Bottom line
Coming with rich features and excellent performance, the Xiaomi FIMI X8 SE RC drone is just priced at $499 on GearBest, which really offers good value for money. Therefore, if you are a drone enthusiast and don't have enough budget, this FIMI X8 SE RC drone is a good choice for you.
