Testing FIMI's X8 pro, newest entry into the Prosumer drone market, but how does it compare to the DJI Air 2S? Are the features good enough or is it a FAIL?

❗❗❗❗❗❗❗ NEW as of June 2024 NOTE: I can no longer recommend purchasing from FIMIUAV Store. They have proven unreliable in responding and deceitful in their collaboration with us. Their unprofessional treatment to our channel is very unfortunate but if you still want to consider this product we'd recommend trying their main site here (NOT FIMIUAV) or considering a different manufacturer altogether : https://store.fimi.com/?ref=xkkdcipz'>https://store.fimi.com/?ref=xkkdcipz

IF you're thinking of pairing the X7 Tablet directly with the X8 Pro Remote, there's an IMPORTANT HACK that you need to know to save you a big headache. Sorry, I missed this in the original video: (Facebook):   / 677531994543618  

2024 13 NOTE: Had a couple of correspondences directly with FIMI since the video posted and they assured me they are currently working with the FAA on the DOC and to to be patient. We as consumers have until end of March 2024 for Remote ID to be installed (via firmware I assume as there is a "remote ID section in th app) since we have reasonable expectations that the manufacturer will get it done as it is listed this way on their web site. After that, if they don't get it done then a module is the only choice, which would be a big mistake on FIMIs part.
