It does not matter....
Does it really? Because I see it in a different way. I have drone for 350GBP instead of 1200..... but I don't know anything. I am just a tester am I? |

I believe however with Fimi Care pre-orders where already sold out but they should become available again in time. Other option would be from CN warehouse but takes about 3 weeks shipping. You can always find correct working coupons in the first post of the thread. |

No idea why Fimi would have to remain producing the old one, it's not that the 2020 (that everybody wants now) is more expensive or anything. |

The question is who is realy going to care IF we receive no further firmware updates on the old one ? Hmmmm.....
The current is stable, app runs on basically all hardware that aint from the stone age. Nobody will care and continue flying their "old" drone. I don't see what the fuss is about anything other than again another attempt to annoy and basically insult all Fimi flyers here in the thread by calling them "beta testers" for no reason. The X8 has been flying fine from the beginning. |

It's on the Fimi X8 SE Official Group. The Group Admin posted it today.
This new revision and the way it looks to be positioned, new camera, optical sensor and Fimicare for loss of drones. They've simply addressed all the long running issues the original model was having and dropped it. Looks like it's certainly curtains for the old model but no idea about ongoing support which is the big question for existing owners. |

Good thing is they appear to have addressed all the areas that were giving so many owners problems last year.... e.g camera etc etc If you've got a faulty one and are waiting for a replacement or one that has been lost. You may be in luck. Support is a big question going forward on the old version because they've moved to a completely different brand chipset. The RC also looks to be new. So it look's compatibility with the old one is not looking great. |

Hello! sharing a new video (until I can’t get my X8 flying I’ll take care of the material I’ve already captured). Images from southern Brazil.

Never ending firmware updatesQuote:
If true, it's unfortunate the new controller won't work with the 2018 model, but at least that does suggest a wifi change that's more than skin deep. Given a choice of a compatible controller and 6km range versus a new controller and 8km range, I think virtually everyone would opt for the latter. It's unfortunate for the users who crash and burn their 2018 version, but good of Fimi to offer favourable terms for a 2020. I wonder how favourable? |

5 Direction Button Failure
Pretty sure I've seen others with this fault but has anyone had any success with getting a replacement controller for an 04.2019 X8 via FIMI support? Mine stopped working in 3 directions (in,up,left) a few days ago. No clicks in those directions.
