GEPRC TinyGo 4k versus CineLog20 03
Thursday, April 11, 2024 at 1:45PM
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.
