Mini Drone Shootout DJI Mini SE vs Hubsan Zino Mini Pro vs Fimi X8 Mini

These three Mini drones, DJI Mini SE, Hubsan Zino Mini Pro, and the Fimi X8 Mini just begged to be compared. We fly all three drones in this video in order to compare their relative flight characteristics, and video quality. I had fun putting this together. I hope you enjoy the flights and get some value out of the comparison.

    I’d like to see some of the comparison of the Fimi from the day before with white balance set to “Sunny.” I suspect a lot of the odd contrast issues while facing the sun is due to WB freaking out in “Auto.” To my eyes, the Hubsan has the most sophisticated & detailed image quality. I think the Fimi needs extra help with ND filters & WB settings, but is capable of some unique and special images. DJI is so middle of the road and pleasing. Simply gets the job done.

Great testing, and you put a lot work into this video, and I think it will help many potential, buyers out. I saw that neither of these drone are for me. As a Mini 2 owner, I saw nothing here that would make me want it instead of the Mini 2.

    Great comparison video Marcus! It’s good to have options at this level (wi-fi) of drones. In my opinion the mini SE provides the best video and best bang for the buck with best overall performance. DJI has set the bar and the competition appears to be attempting to step up their game which is good for the drone community. Can’t wait to see what Autel brings to the table with their new drones!

The video quality is so good that I don't even miss that it doesn't come with 4k. The other day I went with some friends to record video on a dry lagoon, and on their very first time flying they shooted some nice footage. I love your videos man, always giving imparcial and honest opinions.

    Watched this on a 4k TV which I'm sure most at this point will do once processed for family entertainment. The Hubsan is slowly getting better but again, Jello flying towards Cosco and just terrible color science. The Fimi.. Much improved but wayyyyyy over saturated. And the DJI... Well its a DJI...say no more !!! . This observation is purely off what I saw and not with any bais. I so want a viable alternative competitor to DJI in the sub 250 market, so now looking to see the Autel nano in action because at the moment the fimi is better than the Hubsan in quality and price point and even the SE is streets ahead even of them both at 2.7k not to mention the Mini 2.. Brilliant video AGAIN Mr C... Cheers ❤️

    My total honest opinion on watching all 3 in action. Based on location with local WiFi interference. Best was zino mini pro 👌. Mavic 2nd then fimi. But if you was to take away from buildings and built up areas that zino would be awesome. Definitely going to invest in one. It also has the smoothest and most natural video 4k shooting. Mavic to much colour and fimi really blurry. I think the zino with future updates will beat DJI mini. Just my opinion 😁

    Well Marcus, I just watched your video. You know, I am not really impressed with any of the three. I hate the connection issues! The Hubsan seemed to have a mind of its own, And the Fimi blows all over the place. Geez, at least the SE was pretty stable in the wind. What I can’t wait to see is when you do this same test with the DJI Mini 2 and the new Autel Nano! Now that should be an exciting test! I am really hoping the Nano turns out to be a really good drone. Thanks for all your hard work Marcus. I enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next one. Tom

    I had the DJI Mini 2 do something similar. I was flying from a very small pier. When I was landing at some point I lost the signal, I really don't know at what altitude because it was coming down and I had the left stick down, I was looking at the quad and not the screen, if I lost the signal it would seem like the quad was doing what I was inputting . It wasn't until I tried to make some adjustment to the landing that I noticed that something wasn't right. I looked at the screen and it was blank. The quad was determined to land but I had taken off from on top a bench and I didn't want to risk the quad missing and dropping into the Delaware river. I grabbed it out of the air. At that point the quad started to fight me, the blades started to spin at what I think was full speed. It was getting hard to hold onto so I turned the quad over to shut it off. It was a very challenging signal environment but what surprised me was the total loss of signal when the quad was so close.

    Hubsan and Fimi have improved a lot their products, but there is still a lack of quality between these two and DJI. That's why I decided to buy the mini SE. The most important of all is that if Fimi and Hubsan improve their drones we finish having more options. Here in Brazil people like Hubsan and Fimi a lot, but honestly i suspect that's a matter of DJI's price. Nice video, Marcus. Tks Sir.

    Ok, apart from some unusual strange things happening, the image from hubsan looks a but dull, foggy, just like the camera glass had a fingerprint or the protection film still on.. (I just clean the camera glass when I see dirt but most of the times I just check that from times to times at home or if I see image is too foggy) anyway, hubsan camera should obliterate others (according to specs on paper), but it definitely need HDR video mode to compete with the colour saturation from other drones, at least it looks sharp. There was also is some camera shakes that shouldn't be there and it might be hard to get rid of just with firmware updates, but from some tests I've seen on other people testing ("the great explorer"), it seems that a camera filter will help with this (adding a tiny weight to gimbal, and if it really solves this issue it can be an easy solution, I ordered a CPL filter to test on mine). You should do another test in the future with these 3 (with new firmwares) plus the DJI Mini 2 and the ones that are coming out this year (Hubsan Mini SE, Autel, etc) to see the pros and cons of every drone.

In Russia it pretty easy to do because of cold climate obviously, experiments showed that my fimi x8 completely disconnects then its battery temperature is below 13 degrees of Celsius. So check it! Note that when drone not flying it heats up and restore connection. I may share my videos/experiace with this issue if you want.
