Hey there Captain just wanted to let you know having lived near the mountains in the Pacific Northwest of the US most of my life, winter usually is much much colder than -10 Celsius. There's been plenty of days when I worked outside for over 10 hours in - 28.8 C not factoring in wind chill and standing in the snow. Cold snaps here can get as low as - 40 C. All that being said keep up the great reviews Captain! It's always a good day when I see a notification from your channel.
Greetings my friend Steve 😀👋, Happy Holidays 🎄⛄. Love the snow ❄️⛄. a fantastic drone. Very fast and the video 💯 quality is amazingly sharp. Those lights are beautiful and can easily be seen at night. A great gift for anyone. Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful video and God bless you and your family always 🙏. Have a great week Steve.
Yesterday it was knocking on the door of 80 deg here in the Houston area, 😊. Take a vacation in Galveston and bring lots of drones and be comfy while filming a review. This Cinalog 30 would be ideal in filming the restoration of the Battleship Texas that is going on right now. My wife and I would act as your tour guide and treat you to some good seafood as well. Love the review👍👍👨🦳
Good Morning Steve. As always youve made another very detailed video with an unbias review. You are the reason i got into the whole drone hobby. That hobby has now became a passion of mine. Although I am hooked and sold on DJI. As expensive as they are. I love them.
Well done Captain!!; first up, loved your in house Xmas Tree !! ; second, what a great / smooth flying Done with either or Camera set up!; its quite amazing regards the Climate / Change of conditions you experience in your part of the World !!
Yes, we have 4 CRAZY SEASONS in my area, and each season goes to the EXTREME. Insanely Hot Summers, Photographic Fall sceneries, Freezing Snow Winters, Gorgeous Springs with colors popping everywhere.
Thanks for another great review, Steve. That looks like a really capable quad under 250g! Thanks for sharing content that I find interesting, informative, and entertaining. Happy flying amigo 🫡 🍻 and Merry Christmas 🎅 👍
My take is those are drones flown by US Citizens. Since they have blinky lights it means they are not from ALIENS or other COUNTRIES because they do not wish to be hidden. My guess is they are the DJI Agricultural type drones which are super large and have a long flight time and can be programmed with WAYPOINTS prior to takeoff. The drones are all flying a WAYPOINT pattern.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for the reply. I have been a subscriber for a while now and have a small drone to learn the basics, end plan is to use it to chech my eaves on my house. That is what I was thinking. But they need to be kept out of aitport airspace and away from military bases.
Hi Steve, you have made another great review, beautiful drone, especially when it is dark outside. It looks like a UFO. The video recordings from this drone are beautiful. Pretty fast, of course. This drone is really something for you Steve. Wish you lots of fun with it. And of course Happy flying. 🖐🎅😃👍 🎁🌲☃️ 🎬📷🎮
Ohh..you got snow everywhere! 👍👏😃❄️⛄And it really looks like Christmas! 🎄👍😄 Over here in Germany there are plus 11 degrees Celsius and no snow in sight within next days. 😢 Although it is very cold in Canada, it looks really nice and lovely were you live! 👌👍👏☺️🍁 Best regards from Germany! 🇩🇪😃🙋
Apples and Oranges. There is a reason you’ll never see anyone with knowledge compare the AVATA 2 against a regular FPV Drone. The AVATA 2 is a hybrid drone designed for beginners. All other FPV Drones are usually designed for pilots with advanced RC Knowledge and Pilot Skills. Since you are asking the question, you would most definitely fit in the beginner pilot category, thus the AVATA 2 would be best.
I am considering starting the RC hobby and have been watching a lot of your content which I really enjoy :) As a total newbie I am considering either a small RC helicopter or a drone like you have just reviewed, which would you consider the best to start with. Happy Christmas from a much warmer UK :)
Thanks for watching. Since you are new to the RC Hobby, the best thing to do is look for a DRONE, HELICOPTER or PLANE that comes in an RTF kit. RTF means READY TO FLY. This means that everything you need to fly is included and everything has been configured to work together.
@@richardb3882I have reviewed a ridiculous number of RTF Drones, Helicopters and Planes. Just search my channel for RTF. Type in the search CAPTAIN DRONE RTF BEGINNER HELICOPTER or type in CAPTAIN DRONE RTF BEGINNER DRONE
The AVATA 2 is what is known as a HYBRID drone (part DJI beginner GPS camera drone and part DJI beginner FPV drone). This GEPRC drone is an FPV Drone that requires the pilot to have advanced pilot skills and advanced knowledge in the RC Hobby, so very different.
Hi Captain, a question: What is your take on this quad shipping with unlicenced BlHeli32 ESC firmware (test version)? I saw this in a review by Mads Tech, and he said because of this he simply could not recommend the drone (even though he really liked it otherwise). Also, if there is some bug in the firmware, there will be no way to fix it, as there is no development and BlHeli is defunct. Just wondering if you feel it's not a problem, or that it may be. Thanks!
MADS TECH makes videos based on “shock content” and often recommends to viewers “Don’t do this firmware update”, “Don’t bind this device”, “Don’t consider buying this”. That is what his channel is about. It is up to the viewer to decide if the 1 in a million chance of something going wrong is worth following his advice. He is knowledgeable but at the same time if he was my neighbor it would be impossible to plan an outing with him because he would say… “There is a 5% chance of rain tomorrow, so we should stay in”. Do you see what I’m getting at 😂. In order for companies to exist they have to make reliable products or else no one will buy from them again. So, for me, a guy that has been in the RC Hobby since the year 2013, I don’t concern myself with such issues unless there is something GLARING wrong with a product.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! Love your vids and basically watch them all. But...I watch his videos also (though not all). Well, I watch as many on the subject matter as I can cram in, as I'm dipping my toes in the "real" fpv drone hobby :)
Wonderful video as always Sir ❤.. I had a question on my mind.. between Cinebot 30 and cinelog 30V2 .. which would be your pick and why ? I am from India and am quite fond of FPV drones too... The noise factor is a priority for me ... Although I have a fleet of all types of drones, each well suited for their individual use cases. But I am still on the hunt for an ultimate all-in-one type travel drone, with room for installation of GPS; quieter than the most in class and able to do some amount of long range .. Would you recommend this or the cinebot ? 😊
Which parts of Canada are you from bc we havent received these types of temperatures in Southern Ontario yet. Its wet and cold but not -12c cold 😭. Great review BTW!!
That Drone is sweet! I just checked it out on Amazon its about $500, Ill keep this in mind for a next drone. Love the way it flys. I didn't know you lived in Canada, I could of swore your early videos were you flying around in the desert, so i figured California, AZ or something like that. What are your thoughts on the Drones over New Jersey? I was thinking ALiens but ALiens wouldn't have FAA lights on, but some say they are the size of SUV's. Do you think the DJI ban will force FAA to Brick DJI launching permissions? So much going on in the drone world lately lol Thats an idea for a video, just your opinions on the state of the Drone world without having to get a ne drone for a new episode. As Always love your stuff. This holiday I bought 2 Neos, incase the ban is just a ban on sales. lol
Drones over NJ are drones flown by idiots. I say this because the drones fly with blinky lights on (which means they are not stealth or from an Alien or other country) and they fly in a WAYPOINT pattern (easily programmed before flight). They are probably DJI Farm/Agriculture Drones which are super large, long flight time and very common.
Good Morning Captain!! If all Drones over 300 grams must be registered in the US. How is it no information on the 6’ drones flying over AMERICA is available? A local pd can see a drone flying and with a few phone calls the FBI will tell the cop exactly whose drone it is and ALL KINDS OF information on the drone pilot! Ur thoughts on the drones??
The answer is simple…. What is the SPEED LIMIT on your local hiway? Do you drive over the speed limit now and then? If yes then you are a citizen breaking the law. When it comes to RC Drones, RC Planes, RC Helicopters, the only people who follow the regulations are less than half of the people who fly such items. So the drones over NJ are probably DJI type Agricultural drones which are super large and have a long flight time. Since the drones shown in videos all have blinky lights it means they are not from ALIENS, the GOVERNMENT or other COUNTRIES, because they are not trying to hide. To me the drones all look like they are flying a WAYPOINTS flight plan. These drones obviously are intended to not following any regulatory rules.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 If only our leadership could have explained it like this. Between you and Tony Northrup I think you could explain it to most peoples' satisfaction (I'm not talking about the people who desperately want to believe in ETs). Imagine the low-level panic that could have been avoided. Of course it doesn't help that they held a classified briefing after which Himes (of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) came out and stated these were "Federal Government Operations."
Hi Steve to you and your family and your Rc friends. Wishing you a wonderful and wonderful Christmas. Best wishes in advance for the year 2025. Greetings from Euro Netherlands. 🖐🎅🌲🎁☃️. 🎊🥳🎉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Captain drone I bought the 59.00 inspire drone it wasn't very stable and drifted into a tree and broke the camera the first time I flew it. Then I saved enough money to get a cetus x, two days later the wind took it and it was gone never to be found again. I'm 59 yrs old on disability and can't afford to buy anything else but I would appreciate it if you had anything that you didn't want anymore that you could gift to me. I would appreciate it so much. I'm in the US and would be able to pay the shipping fee. Please help if you can.
I'm sorry and maybe I'm just a weak U S. Citizen, but I have grown up in the states year round. So truth, no on average, no the states don't get on average as Cold 🥶, however we do get dangerous cold same as Canada at times through many of our winters. Last winter alone I worked 4 blocks from home, in 2 blocks I had ice forming on my mustache and beard, as I walked to save gas. No hate just saying so you know
@CAPTAINDRONE798 lol got a good job for me? I like fishing and woods, as well as lakes, to be honest I have thought about it, but my family is here, and they don't like to travel especially in the cold. So here I remain.

COOL FPV DRONE💡💡
Nice job Frozen Steve! I really like this drone.
Fun video ! 😃
I had to watch this review twice!
What a cool machine,
And you flew it with such authority !!
Great job Cap !!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Great review, awesome quad. Maybe in the new year I will go for it. Happy Holidays to you and the family.
Happy Holidays to you and your family too!
its a good job we know what your talking here in UK nice review Steve possibly next year.
Hi Steve, stay warm and keep these fabulous RC videos coming. 👍✈️👍🎄🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️
Thank you!
Awesome flying
Thanks ✌
Amazing review as always. I have the Cinelog25 , I wonder if this is more steady for filming indoors or more stable flying all around🤔
Again an excellent critic! I just received my Modula8 finally! Thanks to you :)
Great to hear! Happy Flying!
that the new jersey drone😁
Great review again Steve
The footage insane
Good Morning Steve. As always youve made another very detailed video with an unbias review. You are the reason i got into the whole drone hobby. That hobby has now became a passion of mine. Although I am hooked and sold on DJI. As expensive as they are. I love them.
Just being in the RC Hobby places you amongst millions with the same interest. Happy Flying. I’ll have more DJI Drone vids in January.
great video for christmas gift ideas. i would like to know the weight of the configuration with the dji action2?
Add 50 grams of
Well done Captain!!; first up, loved your in house Xmas Tree !! ; second, what a great / smooth flying Done with either or Camera set up!; its quite amazing regards the Climate / Change of conditions you experience in your part of the World !!

I wish my house was that clean and orderly!!!
My kids are all grown up and have moved out 😆
Can I use here RadioMaster zorro with ELRS version for this FPV Drone ?
Yes, if you have the ZORRO ELRS radio and you get a drone with a RECEIVER that is ELRS
Thanks for another great review, Steve. That looks like a really capable quad under 250g! Thanks for sharing content that I find interesting, informative, and entertaining. Happy flying amigo 🫡 🍻 and Merry Christmas 🎅 👍
Appreciate you watching and Merry Christmas!
Waaahoo extra !! Merci from France !
What is your take on the TV news broadcasts of the attack of drones in USA airspace closing airports and military fields?
My take is those are drones flown by US Citizens. Since they have blinky lights it means they are not from ALIENS or other COUNTRIES because they do not wish to be hidden. My guess is they are the DJI Agricultural type drones which are super large and have a long flight time and can be programmed with WAYPOINTS prior to takeoff.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you so much for the advice I really appreciate it
If it's my first fpv drone is it for beginners
You need to practice on an FPV Drone simulator before you fly it because there is no BEGINNER mode.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 what do i suggest because I have a potencic atom and a mini 2
is this cinelog v2 better than a dji avata 2? what kind of RC works well with it? thanks in advance steve.

Not at this time because DJI has not made the N3 Goggles compatible at this time.

I would buy whichever is at the lower price. GEPRC is a very good brand name.
Yo steave do you have the traxxax xrt
XRT? Nope, I don’t believe I have that one.
@ you don't have the xrt but you have the raminater the giant monster truck😂😂😂😂😂
Which parts of Canada are you from bc we havent received these types of temperatures in Southern Ontario yet. Its wet and cold but not -12c cold 😭. Great review BTW!!
I’m in the beautiful city of Ottawa
Hello Im new to the fpv and I have avata 2 with goggles 3 and fpv rc3. Can I use them to bnf just like that?
Yes as long as you get the PNP version and have the latest firmware updates on your DJI gear
Is it capable at full Acro mode?
Yes, but people that ONLY do FREESTYLE never use a drone with Prop Guards for this as the results are not good.
Morning ❤
I suspect some people in New Jersey own this glow in the dark drone.
Does this work with DJI Goggles 3?
Yes
Oddityrc tho Very good
Cinebot 30 on the way. We will see. It’s 6s
kool LEDs on drone
It's a pity that more of these drones and beginner aircraft i see on this channel are not sold as RTF, ( only a few i saw) they would sell many more
@@dutchdronedimension6703 Normally the RTF kits will be smaller, more plastic built drones. Maybe in 2025 a pro model will emerge.
Captain, I would just like to inform you that some of your drones escaped out if your storage warehouse and is now regularly spotted over New Jersey.😂
Ha ha, apparently this appears to be the case 😂
Cool 👍👍👍
I'm an American. I know cold temperatures. It gets cold in Montana.
Oh, I’m sure it is 😏
