FIMI MINI 3 VS POTENSIC ATOM VS DJI MINI 4K SIGNAL TEST

Why just 500m? Better to test til signal loss.

My test where I live. Fimi Mini 3 flies 650m. DJI Mini 2 flies 1.1km

PS. Your location appears to be a low congested wifi area so signal should be good for every drone you fly there.

I fly DJI drones from Phantom 2,3 to Mavic Pro to Zoom and I praise these products. But out of these tested I elevate the Potensic which is a very capable drone for small and friendly money in a combo version. The range can go up to 5km and the battery holds very well the promised minutes the drone is in the air from the manufacturer. Worth a Potensic for consideration. Yes I still prefer the Mini 4 over it despite these tests,but the Potensic interests me too.

Very nice tests 😀

A good/valid test that shows the Fimi Mini 3, The Potensic Atom and DJI Mini 4K can fly 500m with good signal strength.

How much further?

Thanks for the test.

I was so looking forward to you "chucking them out the window" 🤣 Did your wife realize you have turned your bedroom into your new studio?? 😉

Man that countryside you live by is nothing short of gorgeous. You can't beat British countryside full stop.


Great test and if nothing it does confirm that either one of these drones regardless of their radio type are more than acceptable for LOS up to 500M. Would love to see a "how far can they actually fly" demo ..... 🥸

Good review mate ! I got the fimi mini 3 and i am impressed however the cable hose ( black mesh ) in one of the hinges of one wing came apart and you can see the wires in it as well the mesh looks all messed at the end, will have to see what they have to say to this one.

Good test for people who fly drones while standing on a 20 foot ladder.

Why not do this standing on the ground?

That Fimi mini V3 is getting very impressive. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

Mini 4 k is the best

You should do this test by actually flying until you lose signal. The way the signal indicator works on these drones is not exactly the same and it always varies by manufacturer. I.e. 3 bars on the DJI Mini and 3 bars on the FIMI can actually be very different with one having significantly better signal.

I was able to get almost two miles over the Pacific Ocean with my Atom with no breakup... I think rth kicked in at 1.8 or 1.9 MI

The atom also has no problem hitting a mile over populated areas... however after a mile itll start to get iffy over heavily populated areas

Video quality from all three of these drones looked very good.

Never test 2.4 GHz drones with a 2.4 GHz microphone. It's really bad for a range test. lot of interference.

What's the point..? But you scored a msg.. Pointless exercise..

I have a bunch of DJI drones, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, AIR 2S, AIR 3, DJI FPV Drone, all are Fly More Combos. I just got the Autel Evo Lite +, Premium bundle on the 18th, & I just got the Potensic Atom 3 Axis Gimbal, Fly More Combo yesterday. I haven't opened the Autel or Potensic yet. I've taken my DJI AIR 3, out over 5 and a half miles, & still had all bars of signal strength, except one, and returned with 32% battery life remaining. I love DJI drones.

Thats not a signal test. You certainly didn’t go the distance you could have. People don’t understand radio waves. You said the fimi should have the worst. Thats just not true. 2.4ghz will go much further then 5.8. The reason they have both is for disturbance, not distance. The dji is just ridiculous. Control, control, control. They dumb down that signal to cotrol you. They are much more capable.

there is a new update for the mini 4 came out yesterday its a big update its supposed to help what you have tested on these drones

I feel like there's really only like 3 drones. There's DJI, and then there's all the other drone brands, which seem like they're all just rebrands or slight design tweaks, with some cost cuts or an extra feature here and there, from only like 2 different OEMs. The budget, like $150 to $400, I mean.

Brilliant tests Robin the toy or Fimi drone comes out top dog eh your neighbours must be good flying over their properties around me they would be knocking at my door.

Great testing mate nicely done

Can you try master airscrew propellers for the DJI Mini 4K please?
Thank you! 😀

Public safety? Read the CAA rules.

Bagus bangett terimah kasih

Hi, what in your opinion in terms of video performance, reliability, quality etc and/or best quality drone between the Fimi Mini 3 and DJI 4K? Which one would you recommend as the best and why? And why d o you mount the strobe on the rear ? and do you use the strobe on all flights? I see the bog standard DJI 4K is £269 and the Fimi 3 is £268 so no difference in price now. thanks cliff.

I got 2 UNITS of DJI MINI 4K. They have different signal. One of them went to 4.3km without freezing the image. The other unit went to 1.4km without freezing the image.
I really don't know what is happening, 'cause i did the SAME way flying they SAME high

Fun times!

The 3 Drones You Have Could You Please Tell Me ( Or Us) Which Of These Drones Is The Quietest Of Them( Less Noisy) Or Are They All Very Close. I Leave You Kindly To Do A Noise Test. Thank You For Keeping Us Up To Date On Sub 250 Gram Drones Which Must Be Reliable And Safe To Fly Like These 3 Do. Using Latest Technology In 2024 / 2025 And Beyond. PS. Greenfields All Around You.

Nice video. The signal bars mean nothing. Some drones will fly hundreds of meters away with one bar or no bars while others start losing signal while still having many bars...Should fly them as far as the signal allows, thats the way to go for such tests

If you'd have to decide to leave only one of the three mentioned here which one would you choose?
