GEPRC TinyGo 4k versus CineLog20 03

Summary:

  • Comparison of two drones, TinyGo and CineLog20, with a focus on their price ranges and features.
  • GEPRC TinyGo 4K shoots in 2.7K at 60 frames and requires stabilization in post-production, resulting in a cropped image.
  • Despite stabilization, the GEPRC TinyGo 4K still produces a slight 'jello effect' due to its small size, vibration and susceptibility to wind.
  • GEPRC CineLog20 03 shoots in 4K at 60 frames and has built in stabilization so no post-production is required and there is no jello effect as camera dampening is present on the drone.

TinyGo 4K Drone Review and Flight Test:

  • Review of the Tiny Go 4K drone from GEPRC.
  • Purchased the drone for around $300 with batteries and a charger.
  • Conducted a height test and reached a considerable altitude.

Drone's Impressive Recovery During Flight:

  • Video connection was lost, but controller remained connected.
  • Drone experienced a free fall due to excessive throttle reduction.
  • Regained control and managed to recover the drone safely.

Enjoying a Drone Flight:

  • Had a great time flying GEPRC TinyGo 4k drone with dual 1S battery system.
  • Flew for about 5 to 6 minutes with 550mAh batteries.
  • Not sure about the exact flight duration, might have changed batteries part way.

Review of a Drone with Limited Range:

  • The GEPRC TinyGo 4k drone has a limited range and lacks GPS, making it difficult to locate if lost.
  • The goggles that come with the drone are of decent quality and can be used for recording.
  • The drone is suitable for learning and flying in well-lit conditions.

Video Signal and Quality Discussion:

  • Video signal of the GEPRC TinyGo 4k cuts out first before controller loses connection.
  • DJI system (like in the GEPRC CineLog20 03) provides better video quality and longer range compared to analog systems (like in the GEPRC TinyGo 4k).
  • The video quality of the DJI system is significantly better than the analog system.

Drone Flight Stabilization:

  • The GEPRC CineLog20 03 with built in stabilization feature saves time in post having to stabilize later on.
  • Wind conditions affected the flight, requiring cautious maneuvering.
  • The GEPRC CineLog20 03 because of it's additional size and weight is more stable compared to the TinyGo 4k.

DJI 03 Air Unit and TinyGO Camera Comparison:

  • Comparison of DJI 03 Air Unit and TinyGo 4k camera.
  • Both cameras can record 4K video, but TinyGo's 4K 60fps is interlaced, while DJI 03 Air Unit's 4K 60fps is progressive.
  • For fast-flying drones, higher frame rates like 2.7K and 4K 60fps are preferred for smoother video.

Drone Flight in Bright Conditions:

  • The drone flight was conducted in bright conditions, resulting in great colors, contrasts, and details.
  • Slight color correction was applied to the videos.
  • The had to navigated carefully to avoid branches and puddles during the flight 

Flying Drones:

  • Flying drones requires relaxation and calmness.
  • Thinking about controlling the drone can disrupt the automatic mode.
  • Manual Acro flying demands a specific very sensitive approach that requires hours of practice.

Learning to Fly Drones:

  • Flying drones requires practice and comfort with the controls.
  • Indoor flying in small spaces is challenging, especially for beginners.
  • Larger flying areas provide more room for error and are easier to navigate.

Drone Flight Adjustment:

  • Colors and details are muted due to reduced sunlight.
  • Practicing sideways flying and controlled movements.
  • Need to learn to control altitude and thrust better when using the CineLog20 03.
