GEPRC Cinelog 30 FPV Drone. Better than the Cinelog 25? Review

[@ShermanKenB]

I started out with the geprc 2.5. It's nice to see that they are including spare prop guards with the 3 inch version. If you are new to flying like I was, chances are you will crash and the prop guards will break. Tape will fix some breaks and eventually you will need to replace the entire guard. That's the other lesson I learned is that you will need spare parts so order them too, like props,

[@MrPyriusfire]

Lol I also lost the little rubber grommets on a pretty violent crash. Was kind of frustrating to wait for new ones to ship from China, definitely bought extras of those and prop guards

I just finished building this drone. It was my first drone build. Of course I made it more complicated by ordering all different parts and Motors that didn't originally come on the original one so I had to make it all work but it ended up working out great I use the iflight motor 1404 3800kv. And a giant DVR VTX😂 I even tried to put LED lights on it😂. But it was great flying it for the first time today I flew it in very heavy wind like 13 mph but was able to fly around pretty good and land without crashing

If you wish to strap two cameras together, in addition to the existing pilot camera (so 3 cameras), you can zip tie them together or use 3M double sided tape.

The more i watch your channel, the more undecisive i become. Whats the best drone overall for videoing abandoned places in little to no light, can u fly a drone in a 'cave'? (Dumb questions are the ones never asked) Love your channel...keep building up my confidence in drone photography!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

To fly a drone in a cave, you need skill. This is because the beginner drones (for newbies) have GPS to hold them still in the air, and there is no GPS in a cave. Second problem is many of the beginner drones require light in order to look at the ground to help them stay in position. There is little light in a cave. Finally to film you need plenty of light, and again, next to no light. So then you are stuck with manually flying a drone in the dark recording blackness.

Hi C.D, love your chsnnel! But one thing I need to say, is that you do FPV most times! But most of those times is withoit a spotter as recomended by your PRt 107 test? How can you get away with it?..:)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha, two things you are unaware of: 1. Spotters are necessary when flying around people. If you fly in an area where humans do not exist, a spotter would be required for what purpose then? 2. A spotter is always with me when people are around, but you don't see them in the vids because that takes away from the vid and serves no purpose (my wife often times tags along as the spotter depending on where I fly).

[@rjmara6781]

Michael Petale you seem to be fixated the spotter comments,he explained to you nine months ago when you commented on one his other vids.I think C D has been doing this long enough to know what he’s doing and how to fly safe,if he didn’t,surely he wouldn’t be posting vids on a public platform.you need to find a new hobby and quit being a Nancy .
