There are currently many glitches with the intelligent flight modes when using an Android device, but these modes seem to work properly with an iPhone. Auto WB is ok, but Fluorescent seems to be the best default setting, oddly enough, since both the Sunny and Cloudy presets have a very noticeable yellow/green cast. I use Fluorescent, Auto ISO and EV set to -1.0 most of the time.

 

Looks like they finally fixed the camera issues and got it flying more stable. If the quality holds up they got a winner. The price isn’t cheap but at least it’s not ridiculous.

 

Man thanks for the review. Still not a bad drone. The price seems a little high for a drone without obstacle avoidance. Looks like they fixed the horizon issues and the video looks great! It isn't choppy at all.

Great for a beginner but hubsan mini has all the extra features and is under the 250g mark. Great review bud. Still on the waiting list for my mini3. Ordered the full package day it was released.

 

The huge issue with previous Fimi drones has been the horizon tilt, especially when flipping the camera down 90 and back up 90 degrees. Fimi appears to have fixed that issue in the 2022 version. The video and pictures appear to be a bit over saturated. Fine tuning the EV should help that. Thanks Captain. Always enjoy your reviews.
