Lowest price I've ever seen online for this excellent Handheld Gimbal 4K camera. For around ~$134 AU with shipping you really can't go wrong considering the price of other similar cameras.

This video review review compares it to the DJI Osmo Pocket in both features and video quality. In summary the main differences besides price is that the FIMI Palm has a joystick for controlling the camera, inbuilt Wifi/Bluetooth for accessing footage on your mobile device, a wider angle of view and better battery life. The DJI Pocket has a better inbuilt mic and supports video up to 4K@60fps, while the FIMI only supports video up to 4K@25fps.

As for the quality of the video I think the colours in the FIMI is better than the DJI, however that comes to personal preference so I recommand checking out the review to see for yourself.

Want super-smooth looking stories for social media? The Fimi Palm might be just what you need. Walk without worrying about camera shakes that’ll make your followers feel seasick. Simply power on the gimbal and enjoy steady stabilised footage that take your videos to the next level.

Compact and portable design
FIMI features a weight as light as 120g in a compact size of 30.5 x 22.7 x 127mm, which renders the Palm highly portable and lets you film on the go.

Super smooth videos and a 128 degree ultra wide angle lens
The high-precision sensors, with a fully closed-loop servo system and the third-generation LOS stabilization algorithm, are upgraded to eliminate picture jitters in real-time and dynamic shooting. And the exclusive 128° ultra wide-angle lens, which perfectly fits the best angle of human vision, captures more memorable moments while portraying a bigger world for you.

Built in microphone
Except the dual-microphone system, FIMI PALM combo kit features a 3.5mm port on the base to connect with external MIC, which gives you more possibilities for external audio recording.

    Has Naomi Wu done a review? Asking for a friend

    • +8

      I checked for you and she has. Given she's reviewed it right at release the issues she's experienced have long been fixed in firmware updates.

      • I already have a gimbal and a gopro 7 black but now I'm compelled to grab one of these too….

        • I sold my original DJI a while ago and might jump on this one. Was waiting for the FIMI Palm 2 or similar to go down but this price is excellent value.

        • -1

          jimonthy you meant grabbing two of those, right? two two two not one….

        Wow was not expecting that when I clicked on the link

        Wow, don't try and watch that review at work. Like I just did.

    How does this compare to the known brand (DJI) a few deals below for only $5 more?

    • this one seems more available

    • +10

      Would it be rude if I linked a Specsavers deal? I type up descriptions for a reason :)

      Not to mention the lack of stock in the other deal. Anyone in AU can get this camera.

      • +6

        you don't type up descriptions, you type up absolutely awesome descriptions. Thank you @Clear.

        • +3

          The descriptions are always clear.

      • +4

        It would be fully deserved! Great job mate, apologies!

    • +1

      this is a KNOWN brand and the PALM is better than POCKET.

  • Goodness, that price has fallen quickly.

  • Looks decent. I wonder how it compares to the DJI Pocket 2 [5x this price, I know]

    The FIMI is much warmer and better saturated than the DJI in the linked comparison vid. I really don't need one of these. Or do I? I probably do.

    • +1

      Pocket 2 can do 4k60, bigger sensor so low light performance is slightly better. Also has active tracking. Not sure if fimi has this now with firmware updates. Seems to be more accessories available ND filters, etc. But for $134. This is a bargain.

      • +1

        Doesn't sound like it's worth 5x the price. The FIMI looks perfect as a starter because let's be honest, it'll probably end up in a draw somewhere after a few months.

        • I think that's fair. I do love my pocket 2. It has a wider angle then the pocket 1, so more similar to the fimi.

          The great thing is the ability to take stabilised footage with such a small camera and minimal setup time. Phone gimbals or camera gimbals need to be set up each time. U just power this on and away you go.

          • @julz15: I film a lot of surfing videos on my phone and the horizon is a constant hassle to keep level. Would the FIMI solve that issue?

            • @[Deactivated]: It's not waterproof so I'd say no. Better off with a Gopro or a insta360 go 2

              • @julz15: I film from the headland and beach, not in the water.

    • you should really compare PALM 1 to Pocket 1. They have also released Palm 2.

      • There's a vid down below comparing them. Palm 1 wins.

      • The palm2 is really not amazing.

        Everyone hoped for a bigger sensor; its really all it needed; but no luck.

  • +1

    I had both this Fimi Palm and Osmo Pocket 1. It is a very good product, great video quality and very close to Osmo Pocket. the Fimi wider angle is more enjoyable and the wi-fi connection is a plus. On the negatives the menu il clunky, the app a bit less refined, and — BIG BIG missing for me - there is no tracking for objects, only faces, which limits the cinematic. Another downside is the max video is 4k30fps ( a part a 1080p 4x and 8x slow motion with lower quality).
    For $134 it is a HUGE bargain !

    • -2

      4k25fps max. Read the description, man.

      • +5

        Set NTSC and you have 30fps

    • Osmo is $299 at Amazon at the moment, it says 50% off but dunno if that's a good deal.

        has been down to $230ish within the last month on amazon

    thanks op, FIMI has much better video quality. Wider angle and HDR much much better

    • +2

      Link is already above. Read the description. sigh

    • Yup that's the video I linked in the description. It's a good comparison.

    • pocket has a bit of bokeh tho, fimi doesnt

  • This is shipped from China right? Any experience on how long it'll take? The estimate accurate?

    • -1

      Yes. BG's estimate is 15-20 business days.

  • How does this compare the FIMI palm 2?

  • +3

    Comparing to palm 2, I would say not much different. Get palm 1 won’t regret .

    https://youtu.be/OEI-ygyR7Rg

    • Good link, cheers. Palm 1 is more to my liking. Shame about the auto panning judder on both, although noticeably less on the Palm 1.

  • Not sure if 4k@25fps is enough also not so great reviews https://www.amazon.com/Stabilizer-Bluetooth-Connection-Micro…

    • You can bump that to 4K30fps in the settings.

  • A$136.51 for me. Anyone else?

    • +1

      Same for me

      • Remove Shipping insurance and use paypal

    Words in the reviewers are the mic is really bad on this device compare to DJI or your smart phone. You can add a mic but then it totally destroy the purpose of have a small pocket size all in one gimble camera.

    May be money are better spend getting the DJI or a gimble for your phone? Or even just use your phone if you have a recent flagship. The mic design and stabilization of flagship phone in the past 18 months are really good and makes a device like this pointless.

    • +1

      You know syswong sounds a lot like sys wrong.

      Bad jokes aside sound isn't important for everyone. When skiing and kayaking sound isn't what I want.

    4k at 25fps kinda sucks, dont get me wrong for the price this is great deal but my iphone 11 does 4k 60fps..

    • Exactly at this price. An iPhone 11 is not at this price. The Fimi Palm 2 that now sells for around the same price as this originally sold does it.

      • i have an iphone 11, for those who dont, get this for sure.

    • -1

      My 2019 Galaxy S10 5G does 4k@60fps, no OIS though.

      • +1

        Galaxy S10 5G has more OIS & other features than iPhone 11.
        Both are still toys compared to normal large optical lenses.

        • +1

          Are we not better investing in a phone gimbal then so when we inevitably upgrade we can get the benefits of the new phone with the gimbal?

    • For social media, as the toy lenses of mobiles are intended (inc. iPhones), 25fps is not that bad.
      For more professional viewing (I will not accept iPhone or FIMI or DJI) you are better with joystick & other missing controls in all mentioned devices.
      Nothing compares to larger optical lens & smooth zoom in/out (eg. 10x) & most cost less than iPhones.

      I agree, all including iPhones, suck for prosumer+ video.

      • +1

        I cannot disagree more with your comment on gear…..

        It sis all about the shooter. Yes proper gear gives the shooter an edge compare to someone who is only using a GoPro / Mobile. Only if the shooter know what to do. On the other hand, a shooter that has good knowledge and technique can still produce good material with a phone.

        BTW I am the shooter that produce garbage no matter what you give me and my wife is the one who make commercial material on her S10 with gimbal and Moment lens.

  • shame it's 25 fps, as for motion capture - which is what you'd use this for 30fps or more is a must to reduce that stutter feel. otherwise bargain.
    Smart phone gimbal might actually be better

  • Cheers for posting this deal, Clear 👍

  • Anyone know if 3rd party usb-c to TRS dongles work well for external mics or would we need to find their official base?

    Best I could find was from Aliexpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000937284333.html

  • Bought. Thanks

  • My partner's been going on about how she wants a gimbal so I'm thinking of getting this for her. I cant find any warranty information on the website. Will this be covered under warranty here in AU?

    • I've had to make one attempt at a warranty claim with Bangood before, and it was a nightmare.

      • phew. pretty glad I didn't pull the trigger. I'd rather spend a bit more and have warranty.

  • I'm going to use this if I buy it, right? RIGHT???

      Xiaomi: You are the most important and greatest? Says who?

      DJI: Winnie the Pooh.

      Xiaomi: Ah ok, wil l make you and Winnie happier if I shove it up my axx.

      Dji: You are alright, just dump your garbage to our 1.4 billion cureless citizens. While you are at it there are plenty of people round the world that suck into your garbage sale price too, make sure they get some.

    Can I connect this to a pc and use it as a webcam?

  • So Newb question(s)

    Ive been looking to buy a gimbal to live stream lawn bowls games. Every other setup that Ive seen has a gimbal that you attach your phone/ipad too.

    It appears that this doesnt need the phone attached?
    How would you livestream with this? Would you just attach it via bluetooth/wifi hotspot to the phone? Generally livestreams are to Facebook.
    Is this fit for purpose? A Bowls green is roughly 40m long. You generally video from the end where the bowl is travelling too.

    Cheers for any advice & not taking the piss (too much)
