I too have a couple of H501S and am following this as well because I am about to get one. I wanted to stick with the Zino since I like Hubsan but the reviews are a real turn off compared to this bird. However it seems things might be going downhill here as well. Going to continue following along before I pull the trigger and buy one.

FIMI X8SE primarily checking
Pre-order #535 X8 was shipped out on Jan 25 (notification of shipment) and delivered on Feb 4.
This is my first drone using smart phone and set up following parameters; Camera setting 1080P 60FPS (I do not have proper equipment to handle 4K video) Quality HIGH Color GENERAL X8 setting Gimbal pitch speed – reduce to 44% (from preset 100%) to have smooth tilting Low Battery Warning – changed to 36% (from preset 30%) for safety flight Firmware (updated on Feb 8) FC1043G, Camera 1011E, Gimbal 1011B, Battery 1011, ESC 1016, NFZ 1000, Ultra Sonic 1008A, Vision 1037C. I checked prop balance and it is well balanced as per attached photos. Hope no vibration, strange sound in flight. Weight of each parts are; Prop (4 props) 32g Battery 270g X8SE (without Prop, Battery) 485g X8SE with Prop 517g X8SE with Prop, Battery 786g X8SE/prop/battery plus FireFlyQ6/battery 847g FireFly Q6 was directly mounted the top of body (with 950mAh battery) to see how gimbal compensates the movement of X8SE. After the test flight, I will make side by side video of FireFly Q6 (1080P 60FPS Electric Image Stabilization ON). Before flight test, made in house test of gimbal leveling as I see several X8SE video is not completely horizontal level. I did gimbal calibration before taking the video as attached:
I put X8SE on the floor (flat enough) but gimbal is slightly horizontal tilting. Hope this will be solved in future up-date. Will do flight test probably next week. Previously I modified AOSENMA CG035 with Walkera G-2D gimbal to have stable video but it was not enough as per below videos;
X8SE has 3-Axe gimbal which is way way better to have stable video. Aiolosimport |

The total flight time counter seems all skewed up too.

Well this drone looks promising. If I buy it in early March, how long will it take approximately to ship to Europe? What's the safest way to purchase?
App has no mandatory sign in (suck it DJI) and isn't encrypted. Firmware is not yet available in the fimi page (https://www.fimi.com/fimi-x8-se.html) but I already have it and it seems to support a bunch of nifty tricks |
