I do my best to avoid stupidity in my comments, but you know, when it comes to FPV, no guarantees 🤪😂

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@colibrifpvI do appreciate the effort 😂

[@DanielCrist]

It's sad that this specifically needs to be stated in a given comment section. But I guess that's KZbin comments for you.

[@7996hobguy]

​@@DanielCristThe problem with that is, most people just consider someone with a different opinion to be using "hate" speech.

[@DanielCrist]

@@7996hobguy I can't really pass judgement on any comments I haven't seen, but hate speech often starts with a rebuttal of a differing opinion. Having a different opinion doesn't necessarily justify it and protect it from being perceived as having elements of prejudice, racism, hatred, or other uncivilized notions associated with or rooted in it. I don't know what happened here, but I have certainly seen many a comment section on KZbin devolve as they quickly went from a few people simply disagreeing on a straightforward issue, and then all it takes is one tinderbox comment of instigation in order to lead to the whole comment section descending into utter ugly chaos and hatred. Perhaps then rather than delete the comments though, just block that user from posting and censor any sensitive words in their comments if possible, (assuming it is caught or reported to the channel early enough before it blows up into something so large that it overshadows the entire rest of the comment section) so that for example, all can see and be made aware of what an immature troll "User123" is. They likely follow and comment on similar channels as many of the other subscribers here, and if someone is trying to have a serious debate with one of these people who regularly posts very inappropriate, immature, and hateful comments on videos of similar channels, but if their comments are swiftly deleted before anyone can see what kind of person they are - then that other user doesn't realize that they're just wasting their time in pursuing anything resembling a civil debate and are only being lured into a pointless fight with a troll. I mean, I don't know how common this type of issue is on this channel, so I'm not sure what the best solution actually would be. But I always thought of the FPV and drone community as being very laid back, friendly, united, helpful and supporting towards everyone else in this unique community, like a big flying family. So it's just really shocking and saddening to me that apparently something big happened and it got so ugly and out of hand that all traces of the event just had to be completely erased. It's already sad to hear of any infighting or unsupportive interactions within our community, but for one instance to get so bad that it needs to be fully erased and followed up with a pinned comment needing to address the negative social atmosphere that had apparently coalesced beneath this video.

[@rfly-fpv]

Wow!!!!! Finally we live in the times when lightweight 4K quads, with take off mass less than 250 grams, are everywhere around the corner! I was always a bit uncomfortable with flying my Cinelog35 in the city. You never know if some people will show up and ruin your shot. With such lightweight drone line Cinelog25 v2 you can just fly over them! People safe, pilot happy - double win!

[@denidavid.official]

Hi Steve! I have a little problem. I have a cinebot 30 PNP version, i use remote controller 2 and integra. My video signal is bad, about 1 miles about 20-30mbs without trees clear place, FCC is OK! It is helped but not enough. It is normal? ELRS is better? Or Integra is bad? Thanks for answer, and sorry my bad english :/

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Look in your goggles and see if there is a setting under TRANSMISSION to increase the output power or image in your goggles. Normally the cheap antennas that come with the Integra and FPV Remote 2 will get you about 2.5 to 3 miles range if the interference is low. Since you are flying out a mile, my guess is you may be flying too low to the ground. All drones by DJI can not go very far unless there is a direct line of sight between the controller, goggles and drone. This means that items like people, hills, trees, buildings, cars, etc can't be inbetween.

[@denidavid.official]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for answer! I didn't found the transmission settings with output power in Integra, Yes, I'm flight about 10-15m altitude. What is your advice? Change goggles or change to ELRS? 😏

Looks like a real winner... Multi tool of sub250 drones for sure. I've been waiting for this exact thing to be made pretty much, 1204- to 1404 motors and 2.5 to 3 inch props will be the o3 sub250 formula whether it be open or closed prop.

Better? In which way? All FPV drones are great, but you have to know what you’re looking for. If you’re not an experienced FPV Pilot then there is no drone that will be good for you until you have some experience and know what you are specifically looking for.

[@BaksteRollFPV]

I have only flown DJ Avata with cinewhoops, so I realize that there are much better cinewhoops on the market, namely I am looking for a drone to fly indoors when presenting companies and real estate, I wonder which one is more precise. I heard that paco25 has a problem with o3

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@BaksteRollFPVindoor flying is extremely difficult for people who can’t fly in manual mode (which is called ACRO in the FPV hobby), so for indoor flying the smaller the better, like the Darkstar or smaller.

Does the analog come with the same flight controller? its not listed on the site i am assuming yes. They don't want you to upgrade to hd from analog like i did with V2 35

[@georgeaura]

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

[@MichaelSTaylor]

5:33 Great review, loved seeing this in action. My question is these are available now, and they can be shipped either with or without GPS. I have goggles 2 and a DJI controller that I plan to use. Can you see any disadvantages in getting the GPS version "just in case that might come in handy someday?" It is probably a silly question, but even though I'm not completely new to flying, I'm still trying to make sense of DJI tech. Getting the GPS version is only an extra 10 bucks, yet I would hate to get the wrong thing for the FPV near obstacle flying I'm planning on doing. I'm not sure if DJI has any safety features that can't be disabled if I get the GPS version, but I don't think it can hurt to ask. Thanks in advance for any feedback you might be able to offer! Subscribed.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

GPS rescue (nothing like a DJI beginner MAVIC drone GPS) is normally for long range drones. This is not a long range drone. The GPS will use up some battery power. The reason it is offered is because some pilots fly these drones low to the ground and around buildings and if the video signal is lost you crash, but if you flip the GPS rescue switch, the drone will rise and head back in the home direction so you can again regain video.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I should also mention that if you get gps, you will need to learn how to set it up in Betaflight and understand that by default it is set to not allow you to arm your motors unless a specific number of sats are acquired

[@MichaelSTaylor]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for the detailed replies! Off the top of my head it looks like the hassle to benefit ratio would work in my favor. A minor hassle to ensure configurations are correct together with a minor drain on the batteries at first if GPS can't be disabled, and a potentially major benefit if GPS rescue ever becomes relevant and helpful down the road. Getting the one with GPS is basically a $10 insurance plan with some fine print attached, which sounds worthy enough to me.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You have two choices. Either do some research and learn all about the FPV hobby (you can watch my video series: CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS), or you can tell me you are extremely rich and can easily speed a few thousand and I’ll list all the items you need in the digital FPV hobby. Of course you’ll still require the knowledge of how to connect everything. My advice is to check out any of my reviews of FPV ready to fly (RTF) beginner kits and start with one of those. FPV is the most Advanced drone hobby for a reason (plenty of knowledge and skills are needed), but once you get it, life is then no longer boring.

The V2 would be over 250 grams with those options. You would need the Analog version to be under.

[@Divefpv1]

[@neilfpv]

Beautiful! Would be nice if you can also share a footage that has not been stabilized. Thanks for the great review.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The stabilization is ALWAYS on in the DJI O3 Camera (you set that in your FPV Goggles). I have never met a person that would fly an FPV drone without stabilization unless of course they wanted to add their own stabilization after the fact. That would be like taking a DJI Mavic or Mini and removing the stabilization, which would cause DJI to no longer be able to sell their MAVICS and MINIs.

[@MoeFPV]

I think the idea behind showing us unstablized footage would be to better showcase potential issues with the stock tune, cam mounting, and frequency vibrations, which is indicative of overall build quality. Important information to know about a BNF, IMO - especially one that is probably going to release for around $500

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@MoeFPV Yes, but The only problem would be that since I've been flying for many years, the footage would still look smooth (I'm very light on the sticks) for the most part. However, if a prop was bent or chipped, then vibrations might be seen. Most new FPV Quads in the past 3 years are tuned so well that the only jarring motion is due to the pilots flying skills.

[@_tcmore]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I agree with @moeFPV here. I would also think unstabilized footage in a review makes more sense. If the prop was bent or chipped would that not mean at some point you weren't flying smooth? I think the really reason is you want the product to look perfect so you continue to receive products from these companies.

And i never buy on the first one... by the 4th or so if i want to buy, i use that affiliate link... not even on the first... and i think most are that way... so why are you all worried... great video Steve... ill still want others perspective too.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Someone with common sense! Refreshing. Also, the bone head at Drone Camps is claiming that I released a video in advance for some personal gain (this guy is like 9 years old, and I stole his lunch money). There is No gain to Captain Drone channel as there is NO DRONE for viewers to buy. In addition GEPRC is not overly concerned as it brought anticipation to their next product launch. The CINELOG 25 V2 was scheduled for launch in September, as my video stated, hence I though I was launching my video late. GEPRC had then scheduled the launch for end of last week, and now moved it to next week, so there was no reason to remove the video by any party.... other than the guy I stole the lunch money from.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I'm just happy to watch, lol mostly everywhere you look these days, people always find a way to complain... I mean, I get people do make money on all this but... the first guy to make a paintbrush doesn't have a monopoly on them.

Hi Steve thank you very much for the video. I have been waiting for a drone that can be able fly on both windy conditions and indoors. Can this be the one?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Indoors, certainly. Outdoors, certainly. Normal windy days, no problem. Very windy/gusty days, it would be affected by the wind.

[@sonceler]

Is there any drone that you recommend for very windy/gusty conditions + indoors? Or shall I continue waiting for one to be released:)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@sonceler All 5" and most 4" quads are amazing in strong winds, but impossible to fly indoors. For indoors/outdoors your only options are the 2.5" drones. Now it goes without saying that in the FPV hobby the pilots skills are the most important. Unlike the beginner drones such as DJI Mavics & Minis, the FPV Hobby requires pilot skills, and those skills take years to develop. Once an FPV Pilot has great skills, then even the smallest of FPV drones can be easily flown in strong winds as well as even the largest of FPV drones can be flown indoors.

4th Edit: can you please review the bubito fpv drone, its a really good free style nano fpv drone, its made by bubby fpv from rotor riot, thanks

[@brekotis]

Oh, just wanted to buy an old 25 cinelog and put an O3 on it. Now I'll have to wait for this one!) I really hope GEPRC will make it available for purchase soon.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I’m in contact with Geprc daily and they are working hard to have this product available very soon.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

GEPRC says the release of the CINELOG 25 V2 is to happen any day now.

[@HansBaier]

Can you have it with walksnail and ELRS instead?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

No Walksnail, but yes to ELRS

[@adam_bks5394]

Is a 6s version of this would be a good idea ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Perhaps in the future

[@adam_bks5394]

would it be harder to flight ?@@CAPTAINDRONE798

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It would have much more instant speed

[@DimmyV]

I wonder why the called it the v2 instead of Cinelog25 O3?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Because there is already a CINELOG 25, with different Supports/Flight Controller/motors, so since there is more than a camera upgrade, it had to become a new version.

[@DimmyV]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 there was a new Mark5 but they called it O3 so was just curious why they didn’t carry on yeah trend. Anyways when are GEPRC making this available!

[@stevejakab]

A Mavic wouldn’t RTH if you fly under something - just if you lose radio signal.

[@fatbau1]

Any chance you can send me the betaflight factory firmware for this drone? I accidentally wiped mine lol

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Sorry, I get asked that daily from everyone new to the FPV hobby. If was a drone tech help service I’d make millions providing such a service, but I’m not such a service as there is zero available time for it. You’ll have to get it from the company website.

[@SJMFPV]

how do the prop guards compare to the cinelog 20 ? I break those at no end.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Pretty much identical (injected moulded plastic)

[@TakeALookFPV]

It's available guys ! 🤙🏽

[@bongpov476]

What??? Is this release in the geprc website???

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It was supposed to have been released in September but Geprc delayed the release and forget to tell me, hence my confused look at the start of the vid. Geprc is working hard to release the product very soon. Keep checking the Geprc site and you should see it soon.

[@bongpov476]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 maybe they're too busy for many orders coming to them, because my order of moz7 took a week and few days to ship...and i think it's because of the 1week holiday in china happened last week...

[@bongpov476]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 too busy packing orders,so they have no time to do a promotional video and release the v2 cinelog25..well i think 🤔

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

GEPRC tells me the release date is this week.

[@TudoRC41]

Great! I want one!!!

[@vaughn828]

Does it have a gps?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not mine but Geprc says you can get it with one

[@LZRFPV]

Big Leaks! haha

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yup… my bad. Geprc never told me to not review the product, so I assumed since it is just an upgrade of an existing model, all was well to show it.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

GEPRC has not confirmed the launch date, and it is VERY soon.
