Unbelievably Tiny FPV Drone Records in 4k // CADDX GOFILM20

[@certifyFPV]

Hi Jb, you might never see this but if you do, you helped me to get into this hobby and I’m not 9 months in no I’ve learnt so much from you! I know this isn’t a tutorial video but thank you for posting all of those videos with betaflight walk throughs, trouble shooting and more! Your a legend (I think I speak for everyone lol)

[@FabioPansera]

Editor's note: 1- Just a friendly reminder that none of the flight footage was graded, so you see the clean raw output of the cameras. 2- The Goggle view is not as good as the on-board, but it's also less blocky that portrait here on youtube, where some lower bitrate, slightly pixellated footage such as the Goggle ones can be highly accentuated by the KZbin compression. Since I saw the raw Goggle files (therefore what Joshua was seeing), I can testify it was a bit clearer than what you see here on KZbin (specifically the grass during the fast paced dives). However, in areas with small branches and clutter, you still wouldn't be able to see all of 'em.

[@RyanQuellet]

A recommendation for you: always export video using CPU encoder, not GPU encoder. GPU encoders are well known to produce noticeably worse quality than CPU encoders for similar bitrate

[@FabioPansera]

@@RyanQuellet I'm not in charge of exporting, but I'm pretty sure Joshua is well aware of that while doing so. This blockiness is not present in the exports though, so it's 100% KZbin's compression, which is also well known for making a mess. Thank you for taking the time to give us the advice though, one can never stop learning! :)

[@FPVwineUK]

@@FabioPansera Now we needed a graded Vimeo version ;) I assume it was without an ND too.

[@McLogo76]

To be honest that looks like standard settings on the moonlight with an ND8 or none… might want to use fixed settings and the right ND? This is with fixed settings with an ND32 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYasYqx8jd2Sjsksi=r1t2DHi-sSO-Ei7Q… raw, no color grading😉

[@blackjungle308]

Did you accidentally mix them up, though? I'm getting MASSIVE artifacts on the "on board" footage, and almost none in the "goggles". Might be my crappy internet/resolution here though. heh - Edit - Never mind, its all over the place. haha

[@olacfpv]

After seeing your garden for years, finally we can enter your house ! 😂 Nice review as usual, thanks 🙏

[@rubberonasphalt]

Right? And his place looks like a comfy cottage / hippie commune.. lol

[@xORLOCKx]

Wish you had done a Gyro Flo and color grade example at the end instead of comparing it to the 03. We already got moonlight vs 03 on another video. I wanted to see what can be done with the GF20, post gyro flow, post a good grade and edit. Show what it can produce. I don't care personally what it's like vs 03. Tired of the WS vs DJI in every single video. Just mu two cents. Other than that. Good review as per usual JBm thanks for the content.

[@IzokatAdventures]

11:45 But, but, but I was pressing the arrow because I`m already a patreon 😭😭😭 😂😂😂

[@Blacksheep12267]

Love the attempt to fly the cat flap at the end. So much fun when you make it in and back out. Speed burst/brake skills seem to be key. Go slow and you get washed away. Go fast and slam into an obstacle beyond the opening. It might be all kinds of fun to set up a "mini golf" course to fly with a drone.

[@wagonlee5443]

Hello, I also have the Goggles X and I recommend you get rid of the stock antennas. I don't know if you are trying to provide a more stock experience for the review or if you are unaware but the stock omnis are criminally awful. Throwing on some high quality patches and omnis transforms the system and gives it range rivaling 03 in my experience.

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome flying and footage, Joshua! 😃 Thanks for the review! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@KainniaK]

THE 03 AIR UNIT HAS JUST BEEN MADE COMPATIBLE WITH THE GOGGLES 3!!! HOORAY!!!!

Have you seen the Oddity RC x120 pro 2" cinewhoop. Bought one to test and it blew my mind. Comes with a DJI 03 air unit and it's 4s. You can throw it around like a 5" and it flies great.

And you can’t carry a GoPro on a toothpick I love the o3 air unit. I built my first digital 63g that has blown me away. Love it. 👌🏼

[@anthony_horton]

Interesting, thanks for the review. Yeah, Flywoo now offer the FlyLens 85 as a Moonlight BNF as well as with O3/O3 Lite/Avatar V2/HDZero/Wasp/analog, which makes it even more of a direct competitor with the Caddx Gofilm20. I'm looking forward to the review of the FlyLens 85, I've heard good things about it from other reviewers.

[@mrmoon_fpv]

still forget to change it to the Flylens 85 I see haha. Have one myself, love that thing. I actually have 2, one with O3 and one with a vista and runcam wasp. one to fly at night int he backyard and one to fly when I like that nice O3 footage. good video either way JB. thanks for all you do.

[@conhulio2000]

Hi JB, hello from cloudy UK lol. How do you rate this too the pavo20? As that's what I have, thinking about moving it all over to a geprc cinelog20? Do you also think that's a good move?

[@awwweeeeww]

great video! after literally two flights, mine still fly but for some reasons it has a red static led turned on near the soldering of cables the lower right motor. everything seems to work, I just have this new light always turned on. any clue on what I could be?

[@jroar123]

Okay, we are talking about 400 dollars and that's not too bad.

[@ccLaPss]

How to build a 5" FPV drone in 2024? Why should we choose 6s or 4s batteries, and which mAh rating is best? Which controller is suitable for beginners, and are pocket switches not good for perfect flying or capturing perfect shots? When should we upgrade to something like the Boxer? For FPV freestyle, which lipo and motors should we use? For cinematic shots (drifting, high-speed cars, mountains, action scenes, etc.), which motors and lipos are best? What battery charger do we need? I have many questions and really need help.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

This is the video for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn_aeYGPnLyhppo

[@frnkguard1]

Joshua Bardwell can you please tell walksnail,water proof vtx and camera’s.

[@nfnworldpeace1992]

can we see a photo of the drone in the gap in the door? kinda wanna see how good that was

[@antonio_malatestinic]

So you think dji will put out a smaller air unit for tinywhoops?

[@wagonlee5443]

No way they do that. It's way too niche and would cut into their Avata sales. Their Air Units required relatively little engineering time since they are very similar to what's on board the Potato and the Avata.

[@FPVwineUK]

You need to watch some drone news... DJI is battling just being allowed to sell gear, let alone release new stuff that could potentially be useful for current conflicts. They have the technology, we just aren't allowed it yet.

[@captaindronieversefpv]

This backyard should be on Liftoff for sure

[@morph0906]

Bardwell I just got my kit in the mail and apparently they have moved to express LRS from fhss… the geprc remote says express lrs on the face

[@morph0906]

They also don’t use 4aa… they moved too two 18650’s not included…

I would never Right-Arrow past you, Joshua! In fact I'm going to Left Arrow a few times to watch your plugs again! 12:00

[@mrkazman]

I actually left-arrowed a bunch around 15:45 to hear you blame it al on the latency. For anyone who buys this, I think you'll also find the prop guards are much easier to tweak back into shape if you give them GENTLE heat, ideally no more than boiling water.

[@FSAFPV]

Finally, DJI Goggles 3 and RC3 firmware update has released (07/25/2024). Added support O3 Air unit.

[@vaanea290]

JB, do you have a playlist with videos on flying tips? Such as flying to simulate as if the drone was a wild dog chasing your actor down.

[@drelephanttube]

Actually, flying that looks like a wild dog chasing is a skill that came naturally to me. I also do drunken falling quite well.

[@Charl-Viljoen]

Just love your content. Day for me joining is very close 😉

[@nukularpowar]

is it just me or is analog making a comeback? Been seeing analog quads all over lately on youtube and just bought 2 myself haha... though obviously not this one here

[@johncgibson4720]

I am still FPVing using direct drive 250 gram helicopters after so many years. I still can not get over the dread of quads' high RPM, high pitch noise. I always run my heli at about 3000 rpm, and it is a 50 Hz noise, about the same as a US power grid transformer's buzz noise at 50 Hz, and it is silent beyound 20 feet outdoors. My onboard recording's sound, in my channel, sounds like listening to a transformer. I once used a DJI Mavic 3's propeller blades on my helicopter turning at 7000 rpm, and the noise embarrassed me in the park, and I could hear it from 100 feet distance..

[@johncgibson4720]

I use Betaflight 4.2 as my single rotor heli's flight controller, and I got all the needed info from JB and online.

[@Blizofoz45]

Am I crazy or does this render grass drastically better than the 03?

[@macrokernel13]

You can change the sharpness in the goggles settings

[@MaxWithTheSax]

Can you show what it looks like after gyroflow stabilization

[@CriticoolHit]

fwiw I just threw my BetaFPV Meteor 85 with walksnail 1s on the scale and it came out at 50 grams flat with tri-blades. That cine is so much heavier than it needs to be!

[@genjitsu7448]

How has it held up against crashes and hits?

[@CriticoolHit]

@@genjitsu7448 Amazingly. I have gotten away with full dives with failed pullouts whacking it into the ground. I do some light racing with pvc gates and have smashed it frame-first into just about every conceivable angle. Still on my first frame. Has one little crack in the battery tray which I don't even mind because it fits my GNBs a bit better. For contrast I think i'm on my 6th or 7th set of blades on the 85. But that's more because I hate when they turn green from all the mowing the lawn ;)

[@neuromancer692]

Not the same system. The Meteor uses their stripped down 1S VTX. The moonlight VTX alone is almost as heavy as your quad.

[@SFPFPV]

I've done blind tests with my friends using the on board O3 footage vs the on board "4k" on the moonlight and every time everyone says the O3 looks way better than the moonlight, and I agree, depending on lighting/scene the moonlight almost looks like analog next to the O3, it's a shame.

[@Apfelstreusel]

someone seems to be pretty biased here 😂

[@SFPFPV]

@@Apfelstreusel Yes, doing blind tests with third parties to make sure I'm not being biased, definitely makes me biased 🤣

[@Apfelstreusel]

@@SFPFPV ok then you and your friend are the only ones on the whole Internet who thinks its looks like analog, totally not biased 😂

[@SFPFPV]

@@Apfelstreusel Is that all you cherry picked from my comment? Lmao. I realized what makes it look analog at times is being called "smudging" or "smearing" by people online, plenty of videos or posts complaining about it. After spending a few weeks playing with the settings and post processing I've managed to make the moonlight footage much better and I'm happy enough with it to keep using it, but the O3 still just looks plain better, especially in the goggles and compared to the regular non 4K Walksnail stuff, which is a shame because it's a good system otherwise, has much better range than O3 and much better OSD.

[@spikester]

A pavo pico is smaller, weighs less at 92 grams, runs O3+elrs & flies about as good as this does.
