Xiaomi Fimi Palm Camera

Xiaomi Fimi Palm Camera. The FIMI palm is a compact, 3 axes-stabilized handheld gimbal camera which means I don’t need an additional camera mount for my DSLR to get smooth footage.

this camera gimbal combo is backed by

the AMI and is meant to put the DJI

Osmo Pocket and the pressure one of the

few similar motors that are being

released this year can the palm

surprises with quality of performance

we’re gonna find the answer in the next

few minutes hey welcome everybody to

grow website my name is ABBAS and I’m

so happy to see you and I truly hope

you’re feeling well me too thanks for

asking

now today I’m filming all that with the

Finlay palm just to give you an insight

whether it is good for vlogging or not

and right now I’m kind of under (?)

centimeters away from the camera and I’m

in the so-called selfie mode which has

this rectangle around my face so that I

know it’s tracking me and it’s going to

be optimal in terms of quality now I

said this is a vlogging test apparently

we’re testing the internal microphone by

the time I’m recording this part of the

video the external microphone is going

to be a specific adapter it’s not ready

yet

The External Microphone

so probably if you’re wondering how to

get it to check the ( down below this article ) and you’re

probably going to get some idea of how

the external microphone is working

now the Femi power most of people is

compared to the DGA Osmo pockets which

is partially fine I say partially

because of the giant pocket is more

cinematic sports fielder’s support

shouldn’t control a small premium and on

top of that has a better field of view

for as we mentioned more cinematic

footage and it feels like more a

smartphone camera on a gimbal while the

female palm is a rather mid-range action

a camera on a gimbal basically you have a

fist infinity focus and your stuff like

the Osmo pocket where you can get

yourself focused and then the background

is the focus of the so-called shallow

depth-of-field

apparently, we don’t count on that over

here but it does

a lot of other good and interesting

features and let’s talk about them I’m

gonna make this article to be more about

the Femi palm rather than comparing it to

the Osmo pocket because once you get to

know its specs and features and

performance it’s gonna be quite easy to

compare what merits you the most by

Your references to the pocket are

inevitable so you will hear such from

time to time

The DJI Osmo pockets

concerning the monetary dimensions there

have been numerous events around the

launch event going below (?) bucks the

the regular version is gonna cost somewhere

around 220 and it’s still a lot cheaper

than the DJI Osmo pockets which is often

priced between (price maybe change when you buy) this

difference of more than a hundred bucks is

quite serious it’s already stated I

perceive this to be an action camera

with the lens mounted on a tiny 3 axis

gimbal

with the idea to offer the perfect kind

of stabilization because when it comes

to mechanical stabilization only

advantages are numerous the devices used

slower shutter speeds which improve the

low-light footage there is no

disturbing artifacts truth is that this

year there will be fierce competition

about devices of that kind involving the

Snooper vm8 failure pocket possibly

the second generation of DG eyes pocket

series so far the palm seems to cover

most of the features that were absent

from the gi’s device because right now

The Unboxing Experience

at the time of making the video the ocean

pocket is only available to compare

to actually, I was a little disappointed

by the unboxing experience of course we

can well understand what Femi had to do

in order to get the potential right

corners but it felt cheaper than usual

this is an area where it was rather easy

to beat the GI apparently not with this

one only the found device and

instructions leaflet and the charging

the cable inside one thing which is not

visible from the video is the feeling of

the material feels a lot cheaper than

the Osmo pocket and felt cheaper than

most budget action cams have recently

tested the cap protecting the cameras

also cheaply made and I really dislike

the lack of case protection with the

Osmo I’m quite confident in keeping

the device inside a pocket with keys and I

will never do that with the female palm

because it only has protection for the

cam module specifications are

Multiple Action Cameras

the interesting chipset on the inside is

high silicon and we know it’s

performance is really good based on the

multiple action cameras tested with it

here on the website like the acaso v 50x

the cam Park V 30 and so on truth is

that it’s not a top-performing high-end

chipset but is in fact ticking all the

boxes for what most people need good

processing and resolutions up to 4k at

30 frames per second and even high

efficiency video codec if you need slow

motion either 2.7 K at 60 frames per

second or 1080p at 60 frames per second

or use the dedicated slow-mo format in

1080 P wide-angle lens with 128 degrees

field of view a 1 by the 2.6-inch sensor and

a big note this sensor is smaller than

on the DJI Osmo pocket

therefore the low-light performance for

the palm is not as good and the overall

optics and processing construction is at

a much more basic level you can never

get this beautiful background defocusing

which makes the Osmo pocket more like a

camera grade device the Femi bomb has

fixed infinity focus and while this has

A big benefit of Knowing

some drawbacks we should highlight the

a big benefit of knowing that everything

will be focused when needed because it

took months until the GI make they’re

all focusing better and it still is

something quite often and even a year

later I keep on using the AFS mode so

that it keeps the focus one selected

because it is still not reliable enough

and may never be but the truth is that

the Osmo pocket can deliver true

cinematic footage and supports way more

advanced controls including shared speed

control which is especially important if

you want to follow the hundred eighty

degree rule for video capturing the Femi

palm can note that but has been cleverly

designed to have the same dimensions on

the camera as the DJI device and because

that part is made of metal the magnet

based ND filters you already may have

for the Osmo pocket

Switch Between Different Fields

fit here too it’s actually pretty nice

because you have both devices now we can

switch between different fields of view

and odor focus versus infinity focus

quite easily the rest of the specs we

have Wi-Fi there’s a very large one

thousand milliamp-hour battery which

gives up to four hours of shooting time

and the three axes of the stabilization

to offer very good responsiveness it can

be of course fine-tuned through the app

and also there’s a joystick to control

all that just as a reference for the

Osmo pockets you need to purchase a

Wi-Fi module separately and a control

wheel separately again you can buy all

that at once using the so-called

expansion kit and that will make it

exactly twice more expensive than the

Femi palm there will also be an external

mic adapter since it’s not out yet I’ve

tried the one for the Osmo pocket and

also the type-c mic adapters from the

latest scam and Firefly cameras and

none of them worked here an additional

free of charge bonus we get is the

mounting threat and unlike its more

expensive brother the Femi palm has this

as a default feature, one thing is clear

Quick Control

the hardware included at that price is

really good therefore time to see how

that converts into footage first we’re

going to examine the navigation it’s all

very intuitive that screen and most of

the important places are one swipe away

main sections about video playback

settings change of modes if it’s up

the lower corner that’s quick control to the

ISO or exposure to the top area quick

switch for the resolutions these are

experience with controlling the menus

is superb in my opinion this is not

better than what DJI did with their

pocket but as mentioned there’s no

shadow control the two buttons are very

easy to get used to the one on the left

is actually the joystick but it also has

a press function that switches between

the modes via long-press the right one

is the power and shutter button single

Press to start recording double press to

resent a tribal press to enable selfie

mode turning the camera by 180 degrees

I’ve primarily focused on testing the

video modes and 4k is good however not

Dynamic Range

great there’s some noise visible even on

bright days and there certainly are some

areas where dynamic range is not that

good especially challenging scenes with

a lot of light and dark areas

also when moving around you can notice

in the edges the results of the

distortion Corrections and being placed

off the centermost objects will look

where it which is perfectly normal for

such a wide-angle lens

often the videos are too soft perhaps

that can be proved by filming with their

next firmware updates I just got one by

the way and it’s good to see updates

happening from time to time because

the device has Wi-Fi and not just Wi-Fi but

5g Wi-Fi as well-meaning fast the

controls are so easy and that makes

taking stills, particularly easy motion

time-lapse is however not yet

supported and I notice there was something

not right about time lapses via the app

in general the most enthusiastic

videographers there’s also the Flog

feature giving you more room for color

grading in post-production something

like the V lock

Tracking it’s actually pretty good

yeah we want to try these follow

function and I’m doing nothing here are

my hands and I could just be moving like

that and eat those I’m here it’s

tracking it’s actually pretty good

surprisingly glass shards gonna fail now

let’s try well I don’t have my

sunglasses but the tracking is still

pretty good in the end the Femi palm is

certainly a fantastic videography tool

and maybe one of the most convenient

vlogging devices at this moment due to

the wide-angle lens in the fixed focus

by far better about that purpose than

the existing competition which is at the

moment limited to the Osmo pocket but in

pure videography and maybe photography

capabilities fall behind the Osmo

the pocket which was kind of expected

started image weak processing of high

contrast environments like a shallow

depth of field and only up to 30 frames

per second in 4k but considering

the fact that for the price of (price maybe change when you buy) bucks

you receive a very well-developed action

camera with the gimbal good app and

support for an external microphone the Femi

palm has just become the device to beat

in terms of price for what it offers

would be good to hear from you too do

you like the footage will you choose

The Pocket Gimbal Camera

this over the Osmo pocket and is the new

the trend for action cams let’s talk about

all that in the comments a Michael and

to a very much appreciate if you helped

at least by liking and sharing the article

with friends please support me by using

the links posted in the down below

should you decide to buy the device and

look around for discounts special thanks

to per gear who provided me with this

testing unit stay safe to take good care of

yourself enjoy life and I’ll see you

soon.
