Love that quad. Like you said, they are getting better and better at tuning. Looks nice too! Your video quality is exceptionally good. You have really refined your technique and equipment to produce high quality videos. By the way it was 80 degrees today in Houston, TX. I live near big H, but in a smaller community and it has warmed up here also. Thanks for making this one and sharing. 👍👍😀

Another terrific review, Cap'n, and as always, fun to watch. I've gotta find that big pike and come up from Brockville to fly sometime. Happy flying!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks! I usually pass through Brockville during the summer months on motorcycle rides.

At least you’ve had some snow Steve. I live in central England and we haven’t seen any so far this year. In fact, the temperatures have been in the teens. The daffodils are blooming and we have blossom on the trees. It could be spring here. 👍

Can't wait for next video drone sounds good

[@Tphive]

16:35 For clarification, I believe that heatsink is actually meant to be attached to the bottom of the Cinebot 25. The four fins appear to make contact with the VTX through the holes and are secured with the provided screws. Otherwise, great video, as usual.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I don’t think it will do anything if you stuck it on plastic. When a drone company uses a DJI O3 in their drones and they remove pieces of the DJI O3 system, they then include the pieces with the drone.

[@Tphive]

Nice flyer, great scenery. I see great developments in equipment, though the battery technology seems to be the weakest link. It would be wonderful to see these to be able to fly with smaller, lighter batteries and have a significantly longer flight time.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Just like with electric cars, each year new technology allows for more output in a smaller, lighter package.

Each year are there ice fishing accidents or other ice related accidents that require emergency responders to get involved? Would think drones would be extremely useful in determining what needs to be done before sending responders out onto the ice.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

We do have the occasional pickup truck that breaks through the ice.

[@berbekarp]

hi Captain Great video! How do you charge the battery? Can you recommend a type? thx

[@foxyyyprecision]

what's the difference between the cinebot vs the cinelog?

[@JackG79]

Man this looks so fun. I wish I knew the ins and outs. I want to explore with a drone so bad.

[@BreeZieDoesiT]

It's like anything. If you take the time and learn all the parts and how things connect, your brain will slowly put it all together. I got into the hobby around Xmas time and now I know what all the parts do, built 2 drone kits, flown 50 hours on a simulatore and have a good foundation. There is still alot more technical stuff but that comes with time and really mastering the hobby. Take it slow and don't overdo it. Learn what each part does and I suggest following a joshua bardwell kit on youtube and buy the drone and build it yourself. Learn how to solder and get some parts and start the journey

[@WhitCoburn]

Great review! I like this drone. How does it compare to the Avata? Thanks!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Well it weighs a way less than the Avata, is less nosy, can use off the shelf batteries from any brand, and it is a true FPV drone whereas the Avata is a hybrid drone (part beginner MAVIC and part beginner FPV drone).

[@WhitCoburn]

Those are good points. Thanks@@CAPTAINDRONE798

[@julianmclean3869]

Well done Captain Beard (AKA Drone!!!); very smooth flying and no doubt the DJI Camera system helps !; quick question, is Global warming coming to Canada?; also, what happens to the the Ice Fisherman's huts when the snow melts? ; do they remove them or do they float / anchored?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

When it gets very warm in March, all the ice huts are removed. We have had a few that have sunk through the ice as well as a few pickup trucks.

[@julianmclean3869]

OK!!!; sounds like timing is everything regards the Huts!@@CAPTAINDRONE798

[@dmytro_skorui]

Just wondering would it carry a full sized GoPro 12 and still be able to output a ~6 minutes flight time?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope, much too heavy for extended flight time, but it would lift the GoPro, but flight would not be tuned for it.

[@_burd]

So is the CineBot line supposed to replace the CineLog line? It still seems like the Cinelog 25 v2 is the better option 🤔

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

When the cinebot line came out in past years, the difference was a heavier stronger frame drone with additional technology. However, today, I don’t see that as much. Cinebot and Cinelog will continue to co-exist.

[@Jaceace87]

Can you fly it with the DJI RC Motion 3, FPV Smart Controller ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope. The DJI RC Motion 3 does not exist in the FPV hobby. It was created by DJI for people with no ability to use two Joysticks. It is also used by people with disabilities, but in the FPV Hobby there is no such device to control a real FPV drone (you need 2 joysticks).

Awesome video, thank you. Thoughts between this drone or the Flywoo 85? Not doing much freestyle, more cinematic. Also, this drone between the Pavo Pico? I appreciate your feedback!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Do you mean the FLYLENS 85? If so then although the flylens is awesome it is extremely breakable, so for me it is the cinebot. Pico is good but there are other small drones of a similar size I’d pick first (for my taste)

[@backsolutionscompany9974]

[@0_miat_0]

Wow pretty cool

[@dronepilot260rc]

Colder air is more dense so wonder if that’s what’s causing vibrations on drones in colder weather 😅

I liked how you said your experiencing a heat wave there at the moment and the ice is starting to melt when at the start of the test flight you mentioned it was -5°c wow!!! That’s some heatwave!! 😂😂😂

If you needed to choose between this and the cinelog 25... which of them would you choose steve?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It would be difficult to choose as they are similar

[@maurosk818]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 hahahahaha omg Steve I thought you would make it easier for me hahahaha I guess I feel a little more into the cinelog 25V2 just because is lighter and that is important with regulations and stuff... so I guess that could be my choice, only because you can keep that one under 250gr and thats a big thing right now, makes things a lot easier to fly it anywhere

[@FabianNotts]

Can U make video this drone VS Avata?

[@joegonz1983]

hello there! I'm new to your channel and looking to jump into one of this! I see the price point is kind of affordable but does not come with a controller. Im just starting my journey into drones, so if I want to get one of the, what else should I need to get and from who/where?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Perhaps you are looking for a beginner drone like a DJI Mini or MAVIC. Those drones come with everything you need to fly.

[@HyperfocalFl]

So I know it’s fpv, but can you fly it without googles, paired to a phone? What remote and googles do you buy to fly it? Is this a good beginner fpv. Currently flying a dji mini. The camera mount looks like go pro style but can’t fly with a go pro? What is the resolution of the onboard camera? Does it move with the remote? Didn’t look like it since it is fpv? Thanks!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Your questions are but the tip of the iceberg when it comes to FPV. There is a billion more questions you need to ask to understand how everything in the FPV hobby works. First thing you should know is that there is no such thing as a cell phone in the FPV hobby. You are confusing it with the Beginner GPS Camera drone hobby, like a MAVIC drone.

[@nikkistar08]

So how does the avata compare to the geprc? I'm thinking about taking the plunge and am wondering which to go with? Any thoughts?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The AVATA is an extremely heavy noisy drone designed for beginners who are used to flying a MAVIC. It has optical flow, GPS and all the safety features DJI offers except obstacle avoidance. On the other hand there is the FPV hobby with drones that are under 250 grams, that can use any battery by any company, as well as any radio, which means such drones take serious skills to fly, like the CINEBOT25. I have the AVATA as well as the DJI FPV and I use the gear from those to fly these FPV drones.

[@GorillamansGarage]

Unrelated... Do you remember the name of the drone that had a downward facing camera in addition to the main front camera that you could access through the app?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

There are hundreds of such drones with that option so I have no idea which one you are thinking about

I respect your chanel an your "opinion", but if every single new drone that comes out is the "best" ever, it gets kinda suspicious after some time.

@@malnasimon7041 Look, you're FUCKING up RC Hobby channels and getting mine confused with others who might be ONLY FPV Drone channels. I'm not the idiot that says everything is the BEST. How the hell would I get over 300 thousand subscribers with a channel like that???? The subscribers are there because I'm extremely helpful to anyone getting into the RC Hobby. Watch my videos. If something does not work on an RC Plane, Heli, Drone, RC Car, RC Boat, it is clearly shown in the video but I don't do like the budget channels with low subscribers and spend 10 mins talking about it. It is as if you want me to review a Porsche and say it sucks because you can't fit 8 bags of groceries in it. I also put products into perspective.... If it only cost $100, expect this for $100, or for $100 it is not bad, etc. What pisses me off the most is people like yourself who just generalize and assuming a KZbin channel is "Money For Nothing", no effort, no creativity, just take the money and run. This channel takes a Fucking massiving amount of time out of my life due to the fact I love the RC Hobby and because I love the RC Hobby, I have been able to get thousands into the RC Hobby.

Looks good but cheap compared to older version. Would be nice to try :)

It does look very simplistic indeed, but that is the future of FPV drones (sleek and portable with excellent performance). This is why few people build their own FPV drones anymore.

That is extremely odd because FPD Drones never fall out of the sky unless you DISARM them or a FAIL SAFE occurs.
