Hi there, thanks for this video, very good comparison. What i would like to ask is can you share the Gain & Expo Settings for Remote Controller 3 for a smooth and slow flight like you do? I mean Center Sensitivity, Max Rate and Expo settings. Thanks.

I used the stock settings for manual mode and adjust my flying according to it. This is a good idea to start before adjusting settings to improve flying. However if you find it too responsive I would reduce the rate gradually until you find a sweet spot. I haven’t got a preference yet. Something I can look into for a future video. 🍻
Worth investing in the firehouse light system to fly avata 2 inside? Ordered manual controller so fixing to start learning- from what im hearing fly in manual incase you lose gps
@DimmyV

I’m not sure what you mean about the firehouse light system…? I prefer normal mode for Avata 2 indoors. Use the vision sensors to your advantage.
Obviously the whoop reacted better indoors in low light because the filming and flight are autonomous. The Avata2 is for beginners to learn fpv not to compete with ciniwhoops. Comparing apples to oranges in some ways. It's nice to see that the Avata2 can be used inside. Would beginner mode sped up work for inside? Cheers!
When indoors what are the best settings to dial it down on movements etc in normal mode?
@DimmyV
7 күн бұрын
You would either get used to the current rates and put less stick input or decrease the rates. I would do this incrementally test and repeat until satisfied.
Great video! If using the Avata 2 with the FPV RC3 and indoors / normal flight should you leave the throttle stick set to return to centre? Have been using mine on simulators so have undone the throttle stick so it doesn't return to centre but just wondering what's best when flying in more normal modes? Cheers!

Appreciate it. I think it’s too much hassle in my opinion to add the spring back unless you’re consistently doing indoor flights and not needing manual mode. I flew with no spring and was fine. Just need to fine tune the tools you use to what you use most.

Cinelog 25 stock rates. I haven’t flown other cinewhoops. I wanted to get the DarkStar and Cinebot25 to try out. Even the Cinelog25 v2 as it has O3. The Cinelog25 without the action camera flys really make. Can freestyle it. I’ve not had issues with GEPRC and like the brand.

Hello, Demetrios. Excellent comparaison. Looking at the two videos at the beginning of your footage, I prefer the right one. Can you set the Avata 2 to record H.265, when @ 4K/60, 16:9, UW, Rocksteady?? Because there seems to be only an H.264 recording, which is very slow to render. If you can set it at H.265, how do you do it?

With the Avada 2 do you ever run into 4 or 5 satellites in the red while in indoors etc

Don't need satellites indoors, thats what the vision sensors underneath are for.
So when flying the Cinelog in angle mode, can it hover if you let go?
@DimmyV

In angle mode it will help keep the drone steadyish but it’s never perfect and you will need minor corrections. Hovering is not easy.

This is a good question. It will depend what type of flying you want to do. Freestyle, Indoor, Long range. I really do like GEPRC as a brand they have some good quality drones.
Quick question! I’ve noticed that when you were flying with the Motion controller indoors the GPS signal was zero. Does it affect how you’re flying?

@@DimmyVim asking because it seems that you lost complete control of the drone at 17:30 when there was no GPS/Vision. Would there be a difference if you were to do the same with the Remote controller 3? I read somewhere that when you fly indoors with the RC 3 and lose GPS, the drone will just drift a bit and you will have to correct its position, unlike with the MC 3 which will lose complete control. Is that correct?

You'd have to lower the rates on the Avata 2 for indoor flights. It's not designed out the box for indoors, save beginner mode bro💯

This is how I knew which was which very quick. The Avata 2 is more precise and stable, but it feels off. Very sort of mechanical like and twitchy. The other was far less precise but that sort of soft floatiness, I think adds character, and some cinematic charm. Also, my avata freaks out in low light. I've had it started drifting, and then move wrong when I tried to recover, and it bumped into a wall and then tried to take off full Throttle and got stuck to the ceiling. Just flying through a small section of a dark hall. I suppose with practice and controls, you can get the look you want, but the low light is kind of the Achilles heel, and the low light noise is pretty bad. Had to beat the battery life, ease of use, and reliability of the avata 2, though. I think that stuff makes up for the shortcomings, plus you can use it for other stuff and fly around outside for fun. But, I mean, obviously a specialized tool is going to perform better in it's specialty, if you always wanna have the best tool for every single job.
