The smaller of Xiaomi’s new drones, but probably the more fun, is the A3.
We've written about the Fimi X8 SE drone many times, now it's just that you can get it at the best price with a coupon, currently under $ 400. Find out more about the action and the bird here:
Xiaomi's drone, the Fimi X30 SE, became 8 thousand forints cheaper! (coupon - updated)
Now the smallest price has finally reached the coupon action, so we can say that we got the best price so far, but don't run so far, let's talk about Xiaomi Fimi A3 first!
At Xiaomin, it was decided that it would be a little simpler for a larger, more serious machine, not primarily for aerial video but for entertainment. This does not mean, of course, that we are going to tell you about the videos, air, or the wonderful aerial photos, because the majority of the 1080p, the full HD resolution camera installed on board, will be enough for everything. Especially that a mixed (two physical, one software) 3 axle was placed underneath the camera to create vibration-free, vibration-free videos. That is, the point is that everything is given to the camera!
But the essence of the machine is not really that, but fun. In this sense, Xiaomi has given more capabilities to enhance the fun factor. The first is that they also have a display in the controller, so you don't have to climb on your phone. Simply picking up the machine and the remote control from the backpack, pairing and going for the flight.
In the spirit of sportiness, the image of the Xiaomi Fimi A3 can be viewed not only through the remote control, but also through glasses. This option is most common on racing aircraft, where precise control is a prerequisite for the pilot to “sit inside” the controlled machine. If we buy glasses for the Xiaomi Fimi A3, we can be sportier too, but if we don’t want to race, we can simply enjoy the experience of flying as if we were also sitting on board. Moreover, if that weren’t enough, we can also do it by transporting a passenger because the display works at the same time as the goggles, meaning we as the pilot control the plane while our “passenger” just admires the scenery.
Perhaps the most interesting detail I have ever seen in fun and hobby is the DIY port on the machine's belly. DIY is the abbreviation for Do It Yourself English, which is about doing it yourself. That is, in the case of the Xiaomi drone, this means that those who do the DIY can make their own accessories for A3, which can then be controlled from the remote control. Based on the videos on the net, you can safely say that the modalities of use are limited to imagination. The fireworks have everything from firing solutions to colorful smoke to parachute throwing and drone rescue. I'm waiting for someone to start producing professional stuff for the machine, which then gets rich.
So, as you can see, this is a really fun machine, keeping naturally the great flying skills with strong, carbon-free engines, keeping the first-class controller to precisely control and keeping the good camera and gimbals to record our flights. In addition, the ability in an Xiaomi drone will not cost much. In fact, as we mentioned above, we get a coupon, so instead of the original 297,99 dollar we have to pay only 229,99 dollars.
