GepRC Cinelog30 v3 O4 \\ I Don't Get That Magic Number

[@ravyyyyyyy]

just wanted to say: i live in northern ireland, your snowstorm from a couple of weeks back is what bumped storm eowyn up to the worst in 80 years

[@NickBurnsFPV]

whoa, I looked up the storm to learn about it. I had no idea!!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying and review, Nick! 😃 It's great when they listen and improve the products! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@HaleFPVRC]

Can’t wait to see you really push these recent quads when the cast comes off

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Me too!!

[@SHess65]

Great review and detail as always. I appreciate your work.

[@ShadowOppsRC]

Good review man! Hope good news with the xray! Cross our fingers you can say by to the cast!

[@sdjb111]

Hey Nick, I know this is off track, but a long while back I had asked you about the Aurora RC QAV 105 had just up and stopped working. I was going thru some older quads and found it and decided to check it out and still not working, so I went and upgraded the FC to 3.5.5 firmware and Bam it fly's better than ever. Had to use BFL 3.0. Very happy I did not trash it. Hope your wrist feels better. Have great day.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Great news, I'm happy to hear the aurora is working again!

[@BrandonBeans]

What an innovative design! GepRC 👏well done. Seems that if weight is a consideration (particularly if you want to to be sub-250g) then either you need to use a small pack with this one, or consider a 2.5" version... Where is the Cinelog25 v3 at??? 🤔

[@NickBurnsFPV]

good question. we might be able to use the 850s with a 2.5inch version

[@Nspecthergadget2010]

Great review. Can’t wait for the with cast-off rip review.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, its so so close now.

[@BoomerBarber]

Any idea how long it takes to get something into the US from Geprc? Im highly considering one of these cinelogs OR one of their 5 inch vapors. But damn, id hate to have to wait a month as its going to be my first official FPV drone and im excited lol. Just curious to how long it took to get yours.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Mine was shipped DHL which is expensive, but also fast. Took about 10 days

[@GMx_1]

Great review and info as always. I happen to have the CineBOT 30 - any idea why they make both the CineLog and CineBot versions? Also they seem to have dropped that springy mounting system for the cameras, do you think that that system was worth having or is it not really necessary? When i bought my Bot30 it really seemed like the Bot versions are the latest and greatest but clearly they have invested in tooling for the CineLog30.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Ya know I don't know why they have two lines in the same quad category. I am not sure what is referenced by the "springy mounting" is that the rubber dampening of the camera?

[@GMx_1]

@@NickBurnsFPV Take a look at this link for the Cinebot30. Look at how the camera is mounted onto a plate that is attached to the frame via some bolts but between the plates there are these rubber dampers that allow the camera plate to have some "float" to it.

[@gertjanaertgeerts]

@@GMx_1 The O4 is still mounted with the rubber dampers on this one.

[@GMx_1]

@@gertjanaertgeerts I did not see that in the image at first but I can see it now - it looks like they changed the design and the way this plate gets mounted. I wonder if there is a performance difference between the 2 designs.

[@saturn_fpv]

Don't the antennas come of easily when hitting a wall or something?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It shouldn't, I haven't had much of an issue with antenna when crashing these types of quads.

[@MurphFPV]

Hey Nick, you ever experience bad telemetry with the stock geprc receivers? I got the V3 with 03 and right out the box every couple seconds it’s “telemetry lost telemetry connected” over and over. This is my first geprc quad/ receiver. Usually use radiomaster and have never had that problem unless antenna was damaged but it did this from day one before any crashes

[@NickBurnsFPV]

No I haven't or if I have it didn't make much of an impression on me. Is the telemetry lost interval pretty quick? Does it happen in any specific scenario?

[@johncarold]

Hey Nick, Cool looking pusher,

[@bsdbum]

Hi nick thank you for the video this may be my next buy! I have been flying the BetaFPV Pavo20 pro with DJI 04 pro for a few weeks now. I’m using DJI goggles 3 and FPV RC3 for remote. Can I still use the DJI FPV RC3 with this quad or do I have to upgrade to an ELRS remote?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I believe they offer a pnp version you could use

[@OranJuno]

Can this effectively carry a full size GoPro? 3" props and lightweight looks like a promising combo for that kind of payload

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't have a full gopro so I didn't test it, but with 4s and 3inch prop it shouldn't be an issue. Of course flight time will be markedly different than I have in this video.

[@HaleFPVRC]

“Cast-off, the revisit” The gloves are off too

[@Braincho]

Wish you get better faster with your hand! When you gonna do your "more aggressive flights, could you try how this one pulls out some dives please? Where do you live, looks such a nice lovely palce. At first place looks like you don't need that action camera mount with the O4 and you can reduce some weight, but seems like it protects the O4 camera a bit, doesn't it?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The camera housing does add some potential camera protection. I live in somewhat rural central US.

[@gimbalair]

Yes, very fecking annoying that they have released no spares for the v2 as yet as I need a new motor and here we are with a v3

[@cutfpv]

Any thoughts on this one compared to cinelog25? Looks like the is not much difference in size.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I expect the proprotection to be more durable and with larger props it will be more capable of carrying external hd cameras better and for longer.

[@dondupuis4007]

In NH, we are in the middle of a storm. 6 to 12 inches of snow are expected in our area; put outside flying on hold. I am thinking about waterproofing one of my whoops, I was wondereing how the cold of the snow will affect electronics if i cash, or should i say when i crash😊

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The cold shouldn't impact the electronics much as long as we aren't out so long they become frozen, even then I am not sure how much of an impact that would have. The cold is going to impact the durability of plastics and the battery.

[@lemonsquareFPV]

The snow/water getting on VTX/voltage regulator chips is the only immediate issue (other than the longer term corrosion). The thermal shock will crack them immediately or cause an eventual failure. Coating the chips with 1/8" of epoxy or conformal coating prevents this 100% I fly in the mountains all around this planet and have extensive experience with this. Let me know if you need any help.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@lemonsquareFPV good information from someone that has real world experience. Thank you

[@dondupuis4007]

Great review!!!!!

[@dondupuis4007]

Wonder if a 03 would fit in camera mount?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I read the camera is the same width (20mm) so they should both fit

[@nikotttin]

When I saw that one I immediately found it interesting. 3", good amount of protection, different with it's color. I like it! For the titles what about: Re-flight: name of the quad? Simple and clear.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

sorry for some reason I am not understanding the suggest for the follow up flights?

[@nikotttin]

@NickBurnsFPV My bad! I'm suggesting to name all future videos Re-flight: xxxx , so that we know what's the content.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@nikotttin ah gotcha thank you

[@minaexperiment]

Does the frame show in Ultra Wide recording?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I did not see it in any of the footage I have.

[@dondupuis4007]

One more week, wow, I bet you can't wait to have the cast removed; mine bothered me. I thought about taking it off myself, but of course i didn't.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yea, when the doc said I couldn't get it off friday I was not happy and did think about just doing it myself. My wife was very adamant I not do that. shouldn't have said anything :)

[@DigitalCruzer]

I need this in moonlight version!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I think we would have to buy without vtx and add in our own.

[@DigitalCruzer]

@NickBurnsFPV yeah I'm not sure how the o4 is mounted and if the camera would mount up, can you drill or mount holes for normal camera mounting or does it already have it? And also will the VTX still fit in there? the o4 vtx looks smaller then a moonlight, those companies like geprc and flywoo don't seem to give much for options for fitting Walksnail moonlight after almost a year... always just DJI and maybe analog, but i have no interest in dji stuff, the crazy latency made me ill and race mode cropping the fov always sucks to use... Walksnail's latency is much more stable, so i can tolerate it. Though i have not tried the o4, but I'm already invested in Walksnail and the moonlight is plenty good enough image for me, plust ee have the gt option, nobody seems to make a frame for a moonlight/gt at all???

[@DigitalCruzer]

Ok, i found a picture on their website where they show the removal action cam mount, looks easy enough to make new holes for different cameras, but do you think the moonlight VTX will fit inside it? I tried doing a foxwoop with moonlight, just wasn't enough room though, so it's got a 1s v2 kit in it, but i like flying in the woods and i want more penetration and 4k dvr with sd card would be nice...

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@DigitalCruzer I would expect the moonlight to fit but don't recall the physical measurements of both off the top of my head.

[@DigitalCruzer]

@NickBurnsFPV dji o4 vtx is supposed to be 33.5 x 33.5 x 13mm and the moonlight VTX is larger at 34.5mm x 34.5mm x 15.3mm. i have no way to see if it would fit in there, i doubt it though. Iy sucks these companies only want to do dji crap... Just another reason I hate DJI!

[@LeIIIuu]

Waiting some freestyle on it😁

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yep I will be re-flying all these when the cast comes off

[@LeIIIuu]

@NickBurnsFPV thank you so much. I want to build custom aio and motors, but frame still not available in geprc shop

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@LeIIIuu I would expect to see it fairly soon. Most of our manufacturers just got back from national holiday

[@SinnerMerry]

stickeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers😂😂😂

[@BigWhoopFPV]

Thanks Nick! Watching at 2160p but the sky and clouds look really blocky. For goggle footage, VTX and GoPro. What’s up with that? Did you upload to KZbin at a relatively low bitrate? Anyone else noticing this?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I uploaded a 4k file. Maybe right click the file and select "stats for nerds" to see the post YT render information. Maybe some extra dropped frames due to bandwidth?

[@Fpv_Dad]

yeah noticed it too

[@BigWhoopFPV]

@@NickBurnsFPV Hmm, it's not dropped frames. In all areas of the footage with low contrast, there's a lot of blockiness that looks like aggressive compression - not just the sky, also the walls & large tree trunks as you go past. No idea what bitrate the file KZbin's serving me is, those stats aren't shown... but I'm guessing they're doing something to over-compress your 4k footage. As all 3 camera sources show the same artefacts, I'd presume it's KZbin that's to blame for making everything look so blocky and compressed. Are you able to make a snippet of the original 4k O4 Pro VTX (and GoPro?) footage available for download anywhere? Thanks again for the comprehensive info. Really appreciate your videos, hope you can say goodbye to the cast soon and then get to some proper ripping! 🤘🏻 (Edit to add: I haven't seen this compression in other footage from this quad / the O4 Pro, e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX7YXnSDgJKtq7M - so I also wonder if you're exporting at a lower bitrate (albeit in 4k resolution) than is ideal for 4k on KZbin, hence asking if you could maybe share some original footage files).

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@BigWhoopFPV I will have to take a look at the footage when I get home. I don't delete the source files right away.

[@mplouis]

Looks like a good drone, but the prop guard looks a bit ugly in my eyes

[@NickBurnsFPV]

ugly as in the color? or design?

[@mplouis]

@NickBurnsFPV A bit of both. The orange with blacks looks good, but in my opinion there is a bit to much orange. Some orange accents are good, but the whole prop guard in orange is to much i think 😊

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@mplouis gotcha, they do have the all black version 😉

[@mplouis]

​@@NickBurnsFPV Oh. I didn't know that. Every review that i saw had the orange version

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@mplouis yea they include the black one with the orange one and camera protection as well

[@flighttrain71]

Hi

[@ontariodoublex2713]

Color is kinda vile

[@powersv2]

Doctor Quads definitely designed a drone like this. Wild that geprc made it.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I am not familiar. Not throwing shade, just not on my "radar"

[@noscadefpv4954]

Did you say "Eat a little bit" and "Don't get it twisted", how old did you say you are?Kids influence you much? lol.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I am 54, I don't hear my kids say those phrases, but maybe they do and its just embedded in my mind :)

[@lemonsquareFPV]

I picked up "let it eat" from car culture around 1999 and "don't get it twisted" from snowboarding in 2001. Likely existed before, but that's just my first exposure. I did pick up "skibidy sigma rizz aura Fr fr, on God" and such recently thought :p

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@lemonsquareFPV I think the "Let it eat" came from my college baseball days, but not 100% certain. "don't get it twisted" is a mystery
