Fimi Mini 3 UPDATE 1006B etc... - Let me Rant a little ! 🤬😱😭 

See my next video coming later today on that very subject.

I am all in when Potensic releases their ATOM 2 Pro 🥳👍

🤣🤣🤣

I think we all wish that Parrot had not pulled out of the consumer market.

I get that.. There is no warranty.. unless youwant to pay 1/2 its value to ship it back. It's a Lottery which most are not willing to pay. There are a few alternatives instead of buying from places like Fimi or AliExpress ( 🇨🇦 ) .. but you pay a little more for the piece of mind of customer service and being able to do an easy return.

It’s probably a problem with the USB cable (connection between transmitter and your phone/screen. If you are using a usb c product then try a lightning product like old iPhone and see if you still have the same problem. PS. My new fimi mini 3 had same problem with USB C connection except I got no connection with new Android phone or iPad mini and intermittent connection with phone. Meanwhile using the lightning cable with iPhone SE 2022 worked everytime. I opened a dispute and provided video of problem. Fimi is sending me 2 new usb c cables. I hope they work.

@@gimpman1357 : The Fimi Cables are hit and miss.

@@gimpman1357 Thanks! I'll try another USB-C cable. But why I have doubts about it is that the connection always breaks after 20 seconds which would be strange from a cable error. The iPhone would be worth to try but none of my friends have an iPhone.

@@GorillamansGarage I bought it from Banggood. 30 days warranty provided... Funny.

absolutely potensic atom

I would wait for the New Potensic to come out. I know some would recommend going out and getting the Atom today.. but I think the "Old" CMOS camera and some weird interference issues have to be addressed first. My money is being saved for the next version Potensic.. You also notice that "Hubsan" have gone very silent of late??

@@GorillamansGarage I had noticed nothing new coming from Hubsan, too bad there... Im not familiar with Potensic, but not thrilled about them also using a proprietary cable. Ive had problems with the factory Fimi cables twice now.

@@starhawke380 : You'd think if a company intentionally changed the USB-C parameters, they would offer additional support and products... 🤣

@@GorillamansGarage It would have been nice for sure! I managed to find a 4 inch USBc extension cable that I use for my tablet now, it works, but the tablet isnt good enough to do screen capture and run the Fimi Navi. Galaxy A7 lite.

You can update over several updates past. It simply checks by date and overwrites. I don't see any real advantage in this huge "unknown" update.

@@GorillamansGarage I’ll be skipping this one.

@@gimpman1357 : Yes.. if what you have .. you like.. no reason to try.. but it has done no real harm.. just that from my perspective , the unknown is the issue.

I still say.. Fimi is good.. It just needs the right programming.. oh well.. Oh... remember the old "Fram" Oil Filter commercials??.. "Pay me now... or Pay me later! .. it could fit here as well... And.. BTW.. was the 5.46 a play on your 5.64?? 🤣 Thanks 💰

I've had no problems with my potensic atom. I've had more problems with my expensive DJI FPV. So your point isn't true. You can have problems with any company it's how they treat their customers.

Funny thing (annoying) is.. Fi9mi thinks that's normal. We suspect they have someone colour blind doing the programming.

I found a few videos... seems no better .. no worse.. but we have to remember the price point! At $499.. there is nothing else in that range.. you have to double that to get into a DJI Air3.

Be sure the sd card is in exFAT and is a U3 or above. Also that you have more than 15GB free space on the card.

What Camera firmware number?

@@GorillamansGarage sorry, I just keep taking the updates, another big one 90 minutes ago, just retried it, works fine in all 1080 frames, works up to 50fps in 2.7k, jittery at 2.7k 60. Never had a fimi before, seems like an update every other day.

@@keithlewis7819 : Which Camera? 1007B?

1004A is on the Fimi download site. Simply copy it to an empty sd card.. put it in.. start the drone.. let it do its thing and listen for beeps. I've simply turned it on and waited 5 minutes then turned it off (don't forget to remove the card then). Then put in my regular sd card and connected to the RC etc..

@@GorillamansGarage I did so, the drone blinked frequently for about 5 minutes, and rebooted the drone when it stopped blinking, but the firmware version did not roll back to 1004A

@@diablo2657 : I sent a request off to Fimi asking if there is a blocker installed.

If I were someone getting a first video drone... I would 100% go DJI. The ones that like to tinker with the unknown would venture towards things like a Fimi.

@@GorillamansGarage Not my first drone,I had de DJI mini 2-2SE en Mini 3. To much trouble with the Fimi Mini 3 Maybe I will buy a DJI 4K soon, No Worries.

@@johandegroot9353 : I still fly my Mavic Mini and love it.

@@GorillamansGarage First mavic mini is still a great drone!👍

I don't think it did anything really.. but because of all the changes Fimi suggests it addressed.. I'd be worried down the road what else it might do. Time will tell and that is basically why I stick around.. Tylenol and all.🤣

I take my coffee with milk only 🤣🤣🤣

and Hubsan have been silent for months now.
