GEPRC Cinelog35 a new generation of Cinewhoop

[@EnzoM]

For the confidence going through tight spaces, I feel that the squirt really gets slown down with the ducts and doesn't want to get moving as easily

[@LukeMegBiking]

But the slammed squirt, that’s a different story

[@the_darkside_fpv]

Wow that cinelog 35 looked damn good during the acro. Hell all around it looks good.

[@AERR_FPV]

Shoe goo the cam, a drop on the screw head to the cam side mount. Removes clean ,and the screws and cam stay till you undo it.

[@flaparoundfpv8632]

The squirt more steady in a tight environment because the thrust is directed downward. That makes it sideslip less. The vertical column of air has a way of arresting horizontal drift, even without corrective input. It's the main feature of a classical cinewhoop worth looking at, IMO

[@janvogt454]

+1. Can confirm, best noticed when you do movements where you would normally drift, like tight, slow-ish cornering. The ducts make it feel much more planted. So very useful for precision but for the price of acro-ability

[@timn4481]

the jiggling is caused by the controller fighting the forces caused by the ducts. you could address it somewhat with a more stable controller setup but that'll make it less manouverable.

Joshua, if you strap an insta 360 go2, what would be the ballpark fly time as it is less heavy than a gopro 10.

[@MacxConvergeProductions]

U get 2-3 mins extra for sure

[@atticusfinch5988]

I got the Cinelog 35 analog, and upgraded it to a DJI airunit, and an ELRS RX. It runs a stock GoPro10 and 4s 1100. While the drone is just buttery to fly, I found the same thing with the throttle needing to be pretty 'high stick' to get going, which made tighter flying a bit uncomfortable. It also gives the Nazgul a run for it's money with the 'scream'. I think it was due to the stick play from takeoff to full was much smaller than I'm used to. I ended up pushing the throttle curve to be a bit more aggressive on the low end, level out, then spike up again. It now flies like a dream. Takes off at lower throttle (stick position) and in the midground you have a lot more play, but most importantly, the stick sits much closer to center for a steady cruising thrust. Awesome drone to fly, highly recommend, and a big thanks to you JB for having so many instructional vids, that I knew how to do that.

[@ciarankellaghan6158]

would you recommend the protek 35 or cinelog 35

[@atticusfinch5988]

@@ciarankellaghan6158 I dont have the protek, nor have I flown it. All I can do is recommend the Cinelog. From what I hear they are both pretty dang good. I watched a few reviews and settled on the GEPRC for this one, but can't remember what tipped me over the edge.

[@onkelhofpv]

Great review Joshua, but I would disagree with the motors sizes: Its not only the cooling - in my experience a 1408 Motor can´t handle heavy props with more than 3 blades very well. Normally these higher motors (1408/1507) have better/more efficient thrust over high rpms, while wider motors like 2004 gets better/more efficient thrust over low RPMs with more propsurface (more blades). Its a feels little bit like the difference of motor of a sports car and a Truck diesel engine. I tried 5 and 6 blade props on 1408 and its less responsive, less powerful, while running hotter. With 3 blade props its definetly more agile, more powerful and runs also cooler. On the other hand the 2004/05 Motors don´t handle high rpms/light props very well. So, yes the thrust itself is at the end the same, but is produced differently - either over high RPM and less blade surface/less blades or low RPM and large blade surface/more blades and there is a big difference between a 1408 and a 2004 Motor how they handle this. I think its because of the difference in the leverage like the gears in a bicycle. The misconception is often, that we reduce torque to the motors itself, but the torque is more a combination of props, rpm and the motor form together.

[@timn4481]

i think people who comment on props and motor rpm/kv efficiency should have basic electrical and prop/aero background. it'd really help in correlating what is going on to what the physics is instead of this subjective opinion.

[@timn4481]

props themselves dont make a quad more agile. but the less props you have, the more efficient the use of power is for the diameter of the prop. rather than use more blades, you are better off getting larger diameter props. the misconception from people is that they change one variable and reach a conclusion based on correlation, not causation. i.e. if you just change the voltage, of course itll give you better performance, but you could also be pushing your motor into its upper end of its limits where it runs hot and becomes less efficient so sucks more power for each unit of thrust. so youll get better performance when you fly, but worse performance per unit of power because power has a cubed relationship to rpm and thrust has a squared relationship. adding power also could put all of your electrics into inefficient operation..not just the motor but the ESCs and the controller itself.

[@MadDragon75]

GEPRC rocks!

[@Reecefpv]

Iv been using 2203 for cinewhoops for a while and love em and I'm suprised it had a slight wobble when flying but I might of been wrong lol. I was actually already looking into this frame but I'm still undecided cause I want something to fly really slow but not have wobbles. So far the cinerat has been my favorite. I shouldn't have took it apart lol

[@MaxRovensky]

[@xnoux1]

Hi Joshua, some element that is worth considering when selecting those types of kwad is... the noise they make! I made a 2.5 caged-style cinewhoop and was extremly surprised by the noise it generates! Much more than my AOS 3.5... And I believe noise is an underrated element when it comes to flying around people: the louder the scarier! In that sense, what is the most discrete cinewhoop in your video?

7:38 min - E6000 glue should help

[@banzaiib]

technically, the windings determine the torque of the motor, not the volume itself. Within that volume: smaller diameter wire in the windings with more turns = more torque (lower kv). Larger diameter wire with less turns = lower torque but higher speed (higher kv)

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I don't think this is right. Kv does not directly determine torque. Kv determines the relationship between torque and amps. Higher kv draw more amps to make the same torque. But if the number of amps is available to make the torque that the motor "wants" to make, a higher kv motor will make the same torque as a lower kv motor. The reason torque is proportional to volume is that torque is largely dominated by two factors: 1) the diameter of the motor, which causes it to have a longer or shorter lever arm, which torque is proportional to the length of the lever arm, and 2) the size of the magnet mating surface, which larger mating surface means more magnetic force between the bell and the stator, and therefore more torque. Assuming constant volume of motor, then a motor of larger diameter will have shorter magnets, and vice versa. And these two factors essentially cancel out. There are other factors that affect the torque a motor will make, such as the density of the stator laminations, the air gap size, and the strength of the magnets, but on modern multirotor motors, these factors are usually optimized to a limit, and therefore the torque that a motor makes is mostly proportional to its volume.

Interesting with the wobbling on the Squirt. I have a 3 inch whoop I printed as a one piece frame with rigid really tight (contact) ducts in 15% carbon fibre reinforced PETG, and it has none of that in the raw footage (no hypersmooth). And I am a pretty shitty pilot but it's smooth as butter..

[@spikester]

Since both my GepRC rockets bit the dust, one ended up in the lake and the other in pieces on my bench, I been looking for another cinewhoop to build for flying indoors that has more compatible parts, as rocket uses a strange hole spacing for an AIO, 1mm larger than standard, and its a very outdated build now considering it was a DJI FPV launch model. I am undecided between this Cinelog series or simply going entirely DIY with a Cinerat 3" build with flatrats and doing all the 3d printed parts myself.

[@jeffcopus]

If you are looking for a quick solution to hold the "slipping" camera in place. Use a drop of Bondic to lock it in position. A drop of hot glue would probably work as well. Both can be removed with much effort and reapplied when you do want to change the camera angle.

[@kalinkha]

After testing the frame on custom build can say ducts r really fragile, they seem solid but they just shutter on impact. If u crack right side u need unscrew 2 motors, but if u crack left side u need to unscrew all motors to be able replace a duct😤 i cracked both sides individually,tbh CL35 frame nothing like i hoped👎🏻👎🏻

[@dertiefkuhlkoch1295]

Hey Joshua, great review! i would love to buy a cinewhoop in the next months, but I'm still not convinced by any product. In my opinion the big advantage for cinewhoops is, that you can fly in tight spaces and between people without scaring them. Else i would put a Gopro on a 5" and just let it go. A cinewhoop shouldn't be able to do freestyle moves or anything like that in my opinion. Just really smooth flying with the knowledge that nothing can hurt your drone and even more important: your drone can't hurt anything around you. Since you got a the most knowledge about that topic: what should I buy?

[@metasamsara]

I think the comfort flying in tighter spaces might be because the prop guards are making a decent tunnel despite being open? How exactly do they line up with the angle of the air flying through the props angle? It could be despite the hole at the center and the extremes top and bottom don't matter as much as cutting the air at the right angle, making it vacuum well despite the stripped design and good air penetration? Maybe something to investigate further in their R&D.... Maybe the props guards could even extend as static versions of the props continuation all around to further stabilize the air passing through the props vertically while keeping good stabilization and vacuum and air penetration and structural integrity.

It doesn't look like the cinelog is actually any wider than the squirt. 3.5 " is bigger but the ducts are side by side but on squirt there is an inch of frame in between so I bet shooting a gap is actually almost the same

[@KAREKINFPV]

Would you say the issue with the 35 indoors not being as confident is due to the larger props causing more airflow to bounce off objects and affect the flight? When you get into tight environments it can blow off walls and cause drifting?

[@outsidasuniversal3465]

Hey Joshua, awesome video as usual. Question for you, did you fly the geprc straight out of the box or did you make some changes in Betaflight? Im new to fpv and your footage was a lot smoother then what I'm getting out of my cinealog30. I watched your cineawhoop week video when you went over configuration but geprc wasn't on there. Do you have a configuration video for the geprc cinealog drones.

[@timn4481]

the motor torque is proportional to the number of poles and the diameter of the motor. theres also some software bits such as timing. the larger the diameter prop, the better..period. But torque isnt power. so theres other ways to get great performance than just torque.

[@rfly-fpv]

Great review as always and great quad (I'm waiting for UPS to ship mine soon). I'm just wondering about the difference between two quad's GoPro footage.

You should rig your 5” freestyle quad to fly upside down and compare the performance. If you just flip your props and camera would it work? Or would you have to flip all the guts? 🤔

My Cinelog 2.5 with xing motors is SOOOoooooo gooood, I love how nimble it is, its like a mini freestyle adventure with that thing. I dont know why im scared of sending my 5 inch as hard as my cinelog 2.5. The bigger the drone the harder the slam I guess.

[@yyin88]

I appreciate the dampening mount to take out some of the vibration as result of my bad skill. But I was just curious about the tune, so I tighten the bolts just a few turns in all four. As a result, whenever I pulled back the throttle lightly, there was vibration visible in the video. I was flying it indoor, so it wasn't even going fast at all. Even when it was taking off the ground, I raised the throttle, then eased the throttle, there was vibration. I am really confused.... I checked the screws on the camera mount, the frame, and motors. There was no vibration when constant flying, but there was when throttle is pulled back just even a little.

Thanks Joshua for your videos. I wanted to ask a question wich drone is better Taycan30 or Cinelog35. I flew only a few months with Taycan and I think that it's a best drone for people who in the beggining of this long way, but after I've bought cinelog35 and flew a little bit, I can say that they are 2 different things. When earleier I had to decide which drone should I leave and which schould sell, now I want both of them, because each one provides differnet experience and brings joy in it's own way.

Hello JB it's me again the guy that's a beginner trying to figure out why you have to have two cameras I guess one is for your fpv and the other is for viewing later for a better shot sounds logical but why can't they just have one camera? Also I assume fixed props are better than folding props is that correct? Thanks in advance my primary objective is to have a drone for photographic purposes.

The GoPro has high quality image but high latency. Too high latency to fly off of. The FPV cam has very low latency but bad image quality.

I am curious... if the ducts aren't behaving as ducts then why the bull nose props? Those seem to only be used on ducted quads and this isn't a ducted quad, so are traditional open style props better for this or is there still an advantage because there is still something at the tips of the props?
