The Cinebot 30's prop guard frame cracks if you hit something head on. You don't have to be going very fast (medium speed). I've noticed cracks in the frame where the camera cage meets the prop guards, and also, for some reason, just under the antenna mount in the back (also in the plastic, prop guard frame). The cracks are forming where the two camera cage screw holes are. The plastic is very thin there and is prone to easily breaking. If you've bumped into anything, check the frame for cracks. I've ordered a new frame to replace the cracked prop guard, but if the next frame cracks as fast as this one (I received mine about a week before Christmas), I'll probably shop around for a different cinewhoop. I'm new to FPV and have mostly just been flying over grass as I am still learning. I contacted GEPRC two days ago about the frame issue but haven't gotten a response yet. I absolutely love this quad and hope I just got one out of a bad batch. I just want to give a heads up since I haven't heard much in terms of frame problems.
I bought one myself and it arrived last week. It flies just great with a full gopro 10! Its obviously heavy and not good for freestyle but even with a huge 1400mah 6s battery, its great for slow cinematic shots. With all that weight, its very tame and controlable when indoors. Got 7-8 minutes with this setup. Also flown it with a gopro bones and the same big battery, got 9-10min flight times and very agile, even with this battery which is bigger than the one they recommend... but i really like heavy quads for indoor real estate and architecture tours, so even with a whoping 620g total weight with gopro10 + 1400mah 6s, i really enjoy flying it.
Since I am a newbie on FPV drones I was thinking of purchasing a DJI goggles V2 version instead of a V1 used ones in order to get compatibility with 03 system as well. The V2 support 03 DJI unit while the V1 does not. Hopefully the V2 has a full compatibility with Vista or Air unit.
Great video. I cannot figure out how these GPERC drones are build and how to set them up? Do you have to build it, if so, does it require soldering? How is the setup? Do you have to configure ever single parameter, like you had to with Pixhawk controllers? Do they have some sort of flight modes or is it pure manual flight? Thanks.
These are in the advance drone category which means you require knowledge of transmitters and receivers and configuration software and you need hand/eye coordination piloting skills.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I how to fly helicopters and planes and own a bunch of DJI drones, including the FPV one. Built my first drone 10 years ago and hated all that setting up, messing around with flight controller and soldering. I was hoping that FPV drones made it past that. You know, made it more user friendly. I guess not. Unless of course you go with DJI again. I don't mind the DJI stuff, but the last thing I would want to do is crash that FPV drone. Whereas with other drones, parts are cheap and putting it back together is not the end of the world... Thanks.
@@fc1133 you might have that backwards. FPV drones are the easiest drones on the planet to repair. You see, as a person learns the FPV hobby they also learn how everything works so every FPV pilot is their own repairman. Certainly FPV is difficult but everyone you see on UA-cam flying FPV all began with zero knowledge. So if ya wanna get into FPV it is certainly doable and all up to you.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I know what you mean, and I agree. I just hate soldering, ha ha. I am also not a fan of having to setup all the parameters, but maybe it's not as bad as I think. Have to watch a video on how to do it... Thanks.
I believe you would have got the answer. But still I will reply since it might help someone out. I am a beginner and am into FPV only from 3 months back. I first got Avata and then the Cinebot 30. If you want very stable altitude controlled flight, without much acro, like shooting in weddings and just want to learn acro, then the latest Avata is the best for you. In my case, I was learning acro with Avata and about after 45 days of buying the Avata, I bought the Cinebot 30 (which I did feel was too early). But the acro on Cinebot 30 feels a lot more in control than the Avata. And to my surprise, after learning acro in the cinebot, I got better flying the avata also on acro. But overall, Avata might sometimes glitch with GPS loss. I like cinebot 30 more than my Avata for acro flights. But in certain cases, where safety is more important in a closed environment with a lot of people, I would chose Avata.
Cool, I like it. It's been a while since I have flown so I had to charge up some batteries to go out and fly my Foxeer cinewhoop just to satisfy the urge to fly after watching your video this morning. ;-) I think Geprc will have another winner with this new drone. Cheers from down south !
Love it! Just ordered the o3 version with crossfire,, cant wait. They are on backorder now for a bit. I guess that is a good sign,, lol happy flying from Clearwater fl
Could you please tell me which drone would be better between the sg907 max or the new aviator 8811 pro? I have a choice to purchase either of these drones and I don't know which way to go and I trust your judgment fully.. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Hello. Thanks for yours video. Can you help me. I have a question about dji fpv controller 2 and cinebot30 with O3 unit. Does it work together and what kind of cinebot 30 I need to purchase?
Very nice and stable with a lot of options. I really enjoyed the flight. We all know our friends passing by on the road by there car. Captain knows them also by there drone or plane😅. Great review. Thanks Captain
Wow. That GEPRC CINEBOT30 FLIES SO SMOOTH. I really enjoyed your video. It was on the top of my search for the cinebot30. Thank you for shari g. I had one concern. When you caught that drone out of the air, it was impressive, but risky. Please avoid catching any drone that is powerful enough to cause injury. Safe rule of the wise, if you wouldn't touch it with it armed and props spinning, then you shouldn't touch the props with the battery plugged in at all. Catching that drone from the bottom is a huge risk. Accidents happen, and electronics are not perfect. Please plug in the battery on the takeoff surface. Unplug battery after drone has landed, is disarmed, and transmitter is secure. Then, it will be properly safe to handle it near or around the props. I would encourage you to share some safety information in a future video to give your audience a good idea of proper drone handling and operating. Thank you again for your time and video!
Many thanks for sharing Captain; I have purchased (in the last 3mths) 2 x older "racing / FPV drones that were quite expensive when new however turned out to be quite ordinary, particularly regards low speed / height control; moral of the story; dont skimp on this style of Drone !!!!; will look at purchasing one of the variations on your link!
Hi again from Toronto Capitan Drone, your videos were very helpful in the past. I am looking to order GEPRC CineBot 30 6S TBS Nano RX version and looking to order the TBX Tango 2 controller, I am seeing there are few options out there, including new one coming soon. I was wondering which is the best one for this set up. I am planning to use it with DJI Goggles Integra, not sure if I need to consider different Goggles option as well. Thanks in advance for your reply.
I do not own a TBS TANGO 2 Transmitter so can't comment on that. However, as long as you get the CINEBOT 30 with the DJI 03 Air unit, then your FPV Goggles will work fine. As for a receiver in the drone, if you do buy the TBS TANGO 2, then the receiver should be a TBS Nano.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the reply. I own the DJI fpv controller 2, but after watching a bunch of reviews I decided to go with a tango 2. I also recently purchased the DJI Avata, but had some very strange connection issues with the drone flying just 200m away from me. The CineBot 30 seems a great solution for combined flying both indoors and outdoors, so I kind of decided to go with it. Your review is great. Actually your channel is first stop now when I think of ordering some new drones. I am new to the FPV world 🌎 and find your reviews and “How to” videos extremely helpful. I was also very happy to see that you are in based in Canada.
Ithoroughly enjoy your videos and value your input. For a beginner fpv flier that has does have a regular mavic air. Would ypu suggest avata or something like this.? Thanks again
I have a drone question sir. I am trying to get my 2nd drone. I have a $170us budget. I really like the kf101 max but I can't find it at this price point. Do you have anyone that could help or anywhere to find something similar.
Hey Steve loved this video, really think this vids gonna make me go fpv, have you got any suggestions on what specs to go for me, I wish to just fly with a gopro 11 not fussed about the bulit in camera, I havnt got a contorler or headset either any suggestions?
To fly with the weight of a GoPro 11 means you should look at a drone with 3.5 up to 5 inch props because that is plenty of weight. Have you watched my video series entitled CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS… there are 12 episodes.
Love the video I got the geprc Cinilog35 performance 6s even with gopro hero 9 it's got so much power and is so smooth on your recommendation this one looks great tho
If that is the case then I normally mention things like that in the video. All DJI O3 Air units will easily transfer the files off the micro SD card by just plugging in your USB C cable to it.
Hi Captain… I am in the middle of purchasing my first cine whoop but i am unable to choose from a cinebot 30 or Cinelog 35 v2.. I have a cinelog 25 v2 frame which am planning to custom build with Iflight Blitz F7 55A io so I can go 6s for some stability. Can you please recommend which one to go out for. Thanks
Love your video's, very informative, I was wondering if you can advise how to pair the DJI camera that comes with the Cinebot 30 to the DJI FPV V2 goggles,
Just link them via the link button on the drone and on the goggles. I'm guessing you have long figured this out since I see this comment is now 7 days old.
Hiya Captain, hey please can you try and find the time to review the too good to be true, ultra bargain, AE-3 Pro Max drone?! I'm a novice pilot but have enough experience to be blown away by what you get for your money, like lazer obstacle avoidence, 3 axis gimbal, excellent build quality and much more. And all for £160 or approximately $110! I'd love to hear what you have to say! Cheers matey, from the UK 🙏
Hey Captain drone, nice review. Question for you, I am looking to get the cinebot 30 with the dji O3, I plan on using my dji goggle 2 and fpv controller, on geprc page, which receiver option should I pick? Appreciate your response in advance.
pick PNP. Then watch videos to learn how to set your Goggles for O3 and also learn how to bind and finally watch videos on how to setup a drone in BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR.
Hi Steve What is the best battery for 6S FPV?? We are thinking about visiting Canada from Denmark.... Where do you recommend us to stay, we want to fly drones, but it also have to be kid-friendly!??
Battery size depends on the drone being flown. Canada is crazy large, so you'd have to be extremely specific as to what town or city you are staying/visiting. If I've been to the area you are travelling to, then I may have some info.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the reply but i don't understand...so i put the bec of the cinebot 30 leds, and i put the third wire on the uart number 5 tx, now i have to go into mode, can you tell me more precisely how to do it? Can you give me a more detailed answer? thank you
Thank you for your kind review. Could you share your thoughts about the noise level of this drone compared to cinelog30? In the video it sounds little bit louder than cinelog30, does it? Thanks!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you so much. Did you have to do anything with the LED strip tab? I assigned it a channel and added the Mode, but still permanently on. Thanks again.
Hola Mr, acabo de probar este drone, solo hice hover, pero se carga mucho hacia la derecha, es correcto?, o tengo que hacer algo en betaflight?, muchas gracias por su ayuda. Saludos desde México.
si estas volando estabilizado es normal que se mueva para algún lado si no esta bien calibrado en betaflight. Pero lo mejor es volarlo en Acro para sacarle su potencial (y ahi no se va a mover salvo que tú lo hagas)
Easy… no one in the FPV hobby will follow or care about remote ID rules because FPV drones are not consider a Spy drone or threat because they are all flown in small areas for the joy of freestyle and going through objects.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hope you are Right. What are Planes doing below 1000' AGL except when on Base and final or an instrument approach? There is no problem if we stay out of their way.
How about a video showing how to get this thing set up to fly rite out of the box? Binding procedure with Goggles 2 and binding to the radio using a Crossfire module in a TX16. Please and Thank you.
Have a look at my FPV FOR BEGINNERS video which will get you started: There are two episodes, one DIGITAL and one ANALOG. Both older videos, but you'll get the idea of what needs to be done: ua-cam.com/video/LW7JzNQ7P7E/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/twPV6SEwZhI/v-deo.html
great video, I have a question about the receivers, If I have a dji controller 2 I know Im good with taking the pnp version with the O3, but if I choose the tbs nano just to have the option in the future to change controller do my dji controller work to or I will need another controller. Im thinking on getting next a tx16 with the module or a tango 2 just asking to be shure. Thanks to anyone that can help
DJI FPV Controller 2 can only talk to a DJI FPV receiver. CROSS FIRE is a RECEIVER, so you need a CROSS FIRE Transmitter to talk to it. If you get a TX16S, you'll still need to buy the CROSS FIRE transmitter module to place on the back of it.
Hi, I purchased a cinebot 30 i was wondering how long your flights normally is? At the moment, i can only fly for 3min or so out of mine with a 6S 1050MAH. No gopro, just naked thank great video
3 minutes? You must be hard on the throttle. If you do freestyle continuously then flight time is half. If you add extra camera weight it lowers flight time as well. I was certainly getting much longer than 3 mins with my setup in the video.
@@zmonstar6421 ahh. All drones use the most power in hover and slow flight. Moving forward in Acro mode at a constant height uses the least amount of power.
Hi. I’m looking into getting one of these with the O3 air unit. I’m a bit sketched out though as upon reading comments on various reviews, people are saying that you can’t get to the sd card, and can’t put the Avata nd filter on it. Can you offer any insight into these issues as it’s kind of vital to put the card and filter in use for each flight. If this is correct then surely that’s a massive design flaw and something that a company like geprc should not have overlooked and surely should correct for future?
The unit in my review was not the DJI O3 version so I can’t provide comment on the micro SD card location and access. None of the filters from the Avata fit well on the O3 due to how the camera is designed. I expect companies like Freewell to offer such filters.
Hello capitan! I recently got my pavo 25 for my first fpv drone as you recommended. I think I'm ready to go for my next drone, do you think this could be a good idea or could I go for the nazgul5 evoque?
The CINEBOT30 would be a better choice for a beginner. The NAZGUL5 is great if you have a wide open space and don't fly near people, including yourself. 5" drones really hurt.

Woudk this work with DJI controllers
Only if the DJI 02 Camera system is in it and you buy the PNP version
Do you have to take the CInebot30 apart to fit the micro sd card into the o3 air unit on the cinebot30?

And all for £160 or approximately $110!
I'd love to hear what you have to say!
Cheers matey, from the UK 🙏
Great video, thank you
Hey Captain drone, nice review. Question for you, I am looking to get the cinebot 30 with the dji O3, I plan on using my dji goggle 2 and fpv controller, on geprc page, which receiver option should I pick? Appreciate your response in advance.
pick PNP. Then watch videos to learn how to set your Goggles for O3 and also learn how to bind and finally watch videos on how to setup a drone in BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR.
Have you tried flying it with a full size gopro?
Nope, not with a full sized GoPro
Would you recommend this for real estate indoor
Only if a qualified pilot flies it.
So this is not a sub-250.... Thank you Captain for the thorough review! Does anyone have a suggestion for the best sub-250 with 03?
GEPRC makes a good one. Check out my review of the Cinelog 20.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 oh! Ok I will thank you! 😊 peace and love to you and yours from Rhode Island
Hi Steve
What is the best battery for 6S FPV??
We are thinking about visiting Canada from Denmark....
Where do you recommend us to stay, we want to fly drones, but it also have to be kid-friendly!??
Battery size depends on the drone being flown.
Canada is crazy large, so you'd have to be extremely specific as to what town or city you are staying/visiting. If I've been to the area you are travelling to, then I may have some info.
Great video 🎉
Thank you 😁
How would you compare it to it’s brothers the cinelog30/cinelog35 (and cinelog35 performance)?
The cinebot30 is a more modern design. The 35 is definitely faster.
Why cineBOT and how does it compare with cineLOG?
Can you explain to me the setting of how to turn the LED on and off from the remote control? thanks
Go into the MODES tab of BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR and you'll see the option. Assign it to a switch.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the reply but i don't understand...so i put the bec of the cinebot 30 leds, and i put the third wire on the uart number 5 tx, now i have to go into mode, can you tell me more precisely how to do it? Can you give me a more detailed answer? thank you
Thank you for your kind review. Could you share your thoughts about the noise level of this drone compared to cinelog30? In the video it sounds little bit louder than cinelog30, does it? Thanks!
All of these FPV cine drones sound like a vacuum cleaner at various volumes.
I just got mine! How did you configure your LED toggle switch?
In betaflight configurator. I just went into the MODES tab and assigned a switch
If I get the Cinebot 30 with the DJI air 03 unit, do I still need a camera as well? I'm new to this.
No camera needed
Which do you think is better cineLog 30 or cinebot 30?
Both are great. I think most would go for the Cinebot due to the flight time & lights.
I have the Dji Integra goggles and Dji controller 2. Will this combo work with the Cinebot 30?
Yes, but you really need to understand what you're doing.... Watch this first: ua-cam.com/video/zPf9b-X6cFw/v-deo.htmlsi=cW_pdb6i8fA9d16B
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks, I really needed to know that, much appreciated
Nice review. Just pulled the trigger on the new version with the DJI 03 camera! How did you get the LED's to work with a switch?
When you go into Betaflight under MODES, you’ll see the option to assign a switch to the LED lights.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you so much. Did you have to do anything with the LED strip tab? I assigned it a channel and added the Mode, but still permanently on. Thanks again.
@@DG-tv5ic I just set mine up very simply in Betaflight Configurator
Hi this one louder cinelog30 or not? Thanks
Hard to tell. FPV drones that are cinewhoops are all rather noisy
Hola Mr, acabo de probar este drone, solo hice hover, pero se carga mucho hacia la derecha, es correcto?, o tengo que hacer algo en betaflight?, muchas gracias por su ayuda. Saludos desde México.
si estas volando estabilizado es normal que se mueva para algún lado si no esta bien calibrado en betaflight. Pero lo mejor es volarlo en Acro para sacarle su potencial (y ahi no se va a mover salvo que tú lo hagas)
I bought this drone based on your recommendation. How do you install the tubes without breaking it?
Tubes? This is an old comment so I'm sure you have resolved the issue by now.
What's it's weight the way you were flying it. Under the .55 Lbs for the US. What happens when the USA Requires Remote ID?
Easy… no one in the FPV hobby will follow or care about remote ID rules because FPV drones are not consider a Spy drone or threat because they are all flown in small areas for the joy of freestyle and going through objects.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hope you are Right. What are Planes doing below 1000' AGL except when on Base and final or an instrument approach? There is no problem if we stay out of their way.
@@HoundDogMech Those are RC planes
How about a video showing how to get this thing set up to fly rite out of the box? Binding procedure with Goggles 2 and binding to the radio using a Crossfire module in a TX16. Please and Thank you.
Have a look at my FPV FOR BEGINNERS video which will get you started: There are two episodes, one DIGITAL and one ANALOG. Both older videos, but you'll get the idea of what needs to be done:
ua-cam.com/video/LW7JzNQ7P7E/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/twPV6SEwZhI/v-deo.html
would this work with the cetus pro goggles and controller
Only the Analog version would work with those goggles. The controller will not work.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ok thanks for telling me
Can you do a flight without the prop guards or would you need spacers to keep the drone intact?
Prop guards are part of the frame. If you remove them you’d have to 3D print something
great video, I have a question about the receivers, If I have a dji controller 2 I know Im good with taking the pnp version with the O3, but if I choose the tbs nano just to have the option in the future to change controller do my dji controller work to or I will need another controller. Im thinking on getting next a tx16 with the module or a tango 2 just asking to be shure. Thanks to anyone that can help
DJI FPV Controller 2 can only talk to a DJI FPV receiver. CROSS FIRE is a RECEIVER, so you need a CROSS FIRE Transmitter to talk to it. If you get a TX16S, you'll still need to buy the CROSS FIRE transmitter module to place on the back of it.
Does the DJI action 2 record well at night?
If you are someone who knows how to use a camera well, then the answer is no.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 do you have a recommendation for a camera that does?
Hi, I purchased a cinebot 30 i was wondering how long your flights normally is? At the moment, i can only fly for 3min or so out of mine with a 6S 1050MAH. No gopro, just naked
thank great video
3 minutes? You must be hard on the throttle. If you do freestyle continuously then flight time is half. If you add extra camera weight it lowers flight time as well. I was certainly getting much longer than 3 mins with my setup in the video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 actually i am new to drone flying, so the most i do is hover and move forward and back.
Thank you
@@zmonstar6421 ahh. All drones use the most power in hover and slow flight. Moving forward in Acro mode at a constant height uses the least amount of power.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for your help, i will run more test
Hi.
I’m looking into getting one of these with the O3 air unit. I’m a bit sketched out though as upon reading comments on various reviews, people are saying that you can’t get to the sd card, and can’t put the Avata nd filter on it.
Can you offer any insight into these issues as it’s kind of vital to put the card and filter in use for each flight.
If this is correct then surely that’s a massive design flaw and something that a company like geprc should not have overlooked and surely should correct for future?
The unit in my review was not the DJI O3 version so I can’t provide comment on the micro SD card location and access. None of the filters from the Avata fit well on the O3 due to how the camera is designed. I expect companies like Freewell to offer such filters.
Very cool 🤝😎
What controller are you using and do you have a link?
DJI FPV controller (black in color)
Hello capitan! I recently got my pavo 25 for my first fpv drone as you recommended. I think I'm ready to go for my next drone, do you think this could be a good idea or could I go for the nazgul5 evoque?
The CINEBOT30 would be a better choice for a beginner. The NAZGUL5 is great if you have a wide open space and don't fly near people, including yourself. 5" drones really hurt.
Would this be OK using 6s 1300mah battery
Oh yes, it could lift that
