FiMI Palm review: Best 4K pocket gimbal under $200?

FiMI Palm Review
In order to begin my review honestly, we must admit that the FiMI Palm is not an innovative game-changer product. DJI released such pocket gimbal with even better specs one year earlier before Xiaomi. At a glance, the only pros of the FiMI Palm over the Osmo Pocket is its much-friendly price tag. But, if you dive deeper into...

FIMI's X8 MINI, as the name suggests, is the shrunk version of the company's best-selling drone. It comes with a similar set of features to its bigger brother but in a much smaller and lighter body.

Photo of FIMI Palm 2 stabilizer
Xiaomi is about to release their second generation of FiMI Palm gimbal. Apparently, the FIMI PALM 2 is more just a facelift than a real upgrade compared to its predecessor. Also, featuring only 4K@30fps recording, can't be counted as DJI Pocket 2 alternative. The Palm 2's grip has been completely redesigned compared to its predecessor. If you put them side-by-side...

FUNSNAP iDol AI aka Xiaomi Drone iDol

FUNSNAP iDol AI gesture drone
Frankly, I'm pretty confused regarding this new iDol foldable selfie drone. I'm not clear if it will be released by FUNSNAP or Xiaomi (or both). FUNSNAP iDol AI is a next-generation selfie drone capable to shot full HD selfie videos. Instead of a mechanical gimbal, the manufacturer opted for electronic image stabilization (EIS), which unfortunately has poor performance. Compared to the...
