PROMOO: FIMI X8 SE (2020) Drone – 4K, 35 min flight, GPS, 8Km and more

Xiaomi launched its new drone a few days ago FIMI X8 SE 2020, a revised version of the model with the same name launched in 2018. It arrived with some technologies present in the first version, and others received improvements, but the highlight now is the price that the drone is costing. The Banggood website for the month of April for the price of US $ 349 (see link below), but 1,000 buyers will compete for a discount of another US $ 50, which would leave the drone with a final price of US $ 299, excellent even with the high dollar. Currently it costs just over R $ 1,500, excluding any fees that can reach close to R $ 1,000, but for all that it offers, it remains a great option, even at US $ 349.

The new version arrived with improvements over the first version, such as 4K camera updates with new modes and better capture at night, in addition to support for the x265 codec and RAW photos. The control distance increased from 5 km to 8 km, perhaps with some change in the connection technology between drone and control. The battery also has a little more autonomy, according to FIMI the drone flies for up to 35 min, among the reasons, even with the same body as the original version, this new model is a little lighter, with a total of 765 grams.

Below are other interesting features of the drone, many of which are already known from the first version.

The drone brings a gimbal system with 3 axes and a 30fps 4K camera of 100 Mbps with changes over the original, now bringing a Hisilicon ISP chip (from Huawei) with RAW support and x265 codec. The physical shape of the drone is exactly the same as the version launched in 2018, but now it weighs 25 grams less, exactly 765 grams.

With these features the FIMI X8 SE positions itself as one of the best drones in specifications with a value of around US $ 500 +/-, well below the Mavic Air which is currently costing US $ 919, but which will have a version announced now on the 27th of April. The FIMI X8 SE (2020) features intelligent flight modes, hyperlapse, panorama, image tracking, timelapse, pre-defined flight profiles and recording.

Its control also has the differential of supporting some smaller tablets such as the 7-inch models, since its design consists of "opening" a central space to couple the device that will serve as the screen and visual interface of the drone's camera.

Xiaomi drones are successful in Brazil even arriving only via import or through unofficial channels
