Best batteries for your GEPRC Cinelog 20

Visit: www.nordfpv.com
The GEPRC Cinelog 20 is a great small whoop. When using the DJI O3 VTX is capable of taking breathtaking videos without using a Naked GoPro or additional action cameras, but what is the best battery to use to maximise its performance? That's what this video will try to help the viewer with.
You can buy the cinelog20 from:

Is it’s 2s 720mah good enough for Geprc Darksky 20 ? Or should i go for 4s lipo ?

[@NordFPV]

My tests were with the cinelog. I’m not sure about the darksky.

[@smithe68]

Good stuff, thank you for sharing your findings. I’ve been flying my O3 CL20 a lot and really enjoy a 4S 720 mAh HV pack, I get great flight times with it and there is a lot of power to weight ratio on the battery.

[@Konstantin_Kaiser]

Where do you buy it?

[@smithe68]

@@Konstantin_Kaiser mine are from RaceDayQuads and are RDQ branded. They are currently out of course.

[@NordFPV]

Yeah, I think that's the sweet spot Erik, around 700mAh.

[@juancgallardo]

@@saravana3061987 yes. 4S

Great video mate. Lovelly test for the lipos

Thanks Clare!

[@julienrodrigue9170]

Love the cinelog 25 but I’m curious to see how many times it can fly with 530mah gnb and naked gopro 8. I don’t find other solutions to be under 250 gr Naked GoPro8. 25,7 Cinelog 25 145,5 Gnb 530mah. 50 Total : 221,2grammes + camera support.

[@IgorBauer]

Muito obrigado pelo seu vídeo, não tem nenhum vídeo em português falando sobre o cinelog20, mais uma vez obrigado 🙏🏼

[@NordFPV]

Thank you Igor.

[@SpeedsterIG]

You did stick the complete rubber foam under the O3 Air Unit? This blocks the air vents on the bottom side. I think the center part of the foam is just excessive material from the cutting process and should not be mounted on the drone. Just saying.

[@NordFPV]

Yeah. I realized that after a while. Despite I haven’t have any issues I think you are right and it’s just the outside which should be used. I did the contrary and used the inside.

[@vcdroneGR]

Was thinking to purchase some new batteries for my Cinelog 25 HD 🤔 These R Line 4S 750mAh seem to have the best weight/capacity ratio for both flying time and maneuver agility. Since you suggest this battery for the Cinelog20 which is smaller then I guess for the Cinelog25 it should fit best👍 Do you agree on that?

[@NordFPV]

Oh yes. Definitely. They work very well on the cinelog25

[@vcdroneGR]

@@NordFPV And they perform probably a little better than Tattu R-Line 650mAh 4S I guess. The 650 weight is about 80grams and the 750 about 82grams. Both have similar dimensions as well👍

[@AxxieFPV]

I just ordered an Cinelog 20 today. Is it XT60 or XT30 connector for the batteries?

[@NordFPV]

Hello. It’s XT30.

[@althausjonas]

@nordfpv , do you have experience with Explorer these Lipos? "4S 750 mAh HV 80C Lipo-Akku - XT30" They only weigh like 66 grams. TY!

[@NordFPV]

Hi. I don’t have direct experience myself but I’ve heard good things about them.

[@vickas777]

From my findings, flywoo 900mA battery is only 3gr heavier than 750mA r-line and should deliver best. Just made weight measurements, will test and compare both later

[@NordFPV]

Yes. I think they are HV? Isn’t?

[@vickas777]

@NordFPV you are right. Also smaller C rate at 80C. But in amps it's even a bit higher

[@edgarinfante88]

Did you have to switch out the battery strap to fit the bigger batteries? I just got mine and the strap installed is too short

[@NordFPV]

Yeah. I mentioned in the video. And it’s a bit of a PITA because you have to open the drone quiet a lot. There’s another way and it’s to set 2 straps in serie.

[@edgarinfante88]

@@NordFPV thanks do you have a video on how to set the strap in series?

[@LeviWarkentin]

I use the GNB 650mAH and I get around 2.5 minutes of slow flying. Could there be something wrong with my quad? I also only run it down to 3.5V

[@NordFPV]

Hi Levi, I’ve found the GNB batteries to be inconsistent. Some are excellent, some others are not. Check the internal resistance and see the health of the battery. That can make a big difference.

[@BartManDude]

You should get more than that. I got more than 2.5 mins with 2 props being on upside down. DId you get it sorted out? I don't know how experienced you are in this hobby. I would be happy to help if you need it. You should be getting closer to 4-5 mins with GNB 4s650hv and at least 3.5 mins with 4s650. Please don't take offense, but are you certain that your props are on correctly? wrong props will flip over etc, but upside down props will let you fly and kill your batteries quickly and motors and pack will be very warm/hot. No other reason that you're getting such short flight times IMHO. Good luck man!

[@_mr_hyde_]

Hi, i bought r-line 750 and my OSD shows me usage about 700Mah in about 2 minutes. Today i checked after flight battery had 30%. What im doing wrong? Any idea ? And how do You mount this battery? 750 is big: will the transverse mounts be bad for stability?

[@NordFPV]

Traverse mount is not a problem. You can’t trust the OSD usage unless proper calibration has been done to the FC (power section). If you are in doubt of the health of your battery check the internal resistance.

[@_mr_hyde_]

@@NordFPV Thank You ! I will check it :)

[@ugpfpv361]

Was the 650 the high volt version?

[@NordFPV]

No. No HV. Regular.

[@ugpfpv361]

@@NordFPV I use the HV version and it does give you a little extra flight time over the regular.

[@maksymklets621]

Hello, could you give me some advice? Can I fly on Geprc CInelog 35 v2 on this battery fast and in freestyle mode: GEPRC 6S 1550mAh 60C Battery ? Or must I buy this battery: GEPRC Storm 6S 1300mAh 120C Lipo Battery? Thank you for answer

[@NordFPV]

Any 1550 mah will be a bit too heavy for the C35. I normally use 1100. More than that the drone will be slow and heavy.

[@maksymklets621]

@@NordFPV than you

[@PritishPal]

Which is the best li-ion battery for cinelog25

[@NordFPV]

You have to check the cell manufacturer for those Li-ion cells, not the battery manufacturer. Sony Murata V6, or Molicell P30B are my favourites, but there are a couple more that can work.
