Cinebot and CineLog are both designed as FPV quadcopters aimed at smooth shooting. Compared to the 3.5-inch CineLog 35, the 3-inch Cinebot 30 has undergone several upgrades and optimizations. However, during actual use, several drawbacks have emerged. Next, based on real-world testing, we will provide a detailed comparison of the two.
Cinebot 30 VS. CineLog 35：In-depth Comparison
Flight Performance
The Cinebot 30, weighing approximately 230g without the battery, is lightweight and portable. When equipped with a battery, its limited space makes it best suited for smaller action cameras or a naked camera like the GP10. Its compact size is perfect for indoor flight and filming. In contrast, the CineLog 35 features a more powerful propulsion system, making it ideal for carrying larger action cameras such as a GoPro.
Flight Time:
- Cinebot 30: With a Tattu 1050mAh 6s 95c LiPo battery, it has a flight time of 7 to 7 minutes and 40 seconds.
- CineLog 35: With a Tattu 1300mAh 6s 120c LiPo battery, it can fly for 8 to 8 and a half minutes.
The latest version of the Cinebot 30 now includes updated 70° silicone TPU shock-absorbing pads, which are softer and significantly improve vibration dampening compared to previous versions. This upgrade ensures that both the Cinebot 30 and CineLog 35 can capture high-definition, jelly-free images effectively.
Durability
The Cinebot 30 features thicker arms and a one-piece injection-molded propeller guard, enhancing its durability. These design elements make the Cinebot 30 more robust compared to the CineLog 35, which has a more fragile hollowed-out propeller guard. Additionally, the propeller guard on the Cinebot 30 includes a ring-shaped COB light strip, adding a high-tech aesthetic.
It is worth mentioning that the hollowed-out propeller guard of the CineLog 35 has the advantage of producing less noise during flight compared to other 3.5-inch FPV quadcopters.
Maintenance and Upgrades
The Cinebot 30 features a quick-disassembly frame design, allowing you to easily take apart the top and bottom sections by removing just six screws. This makes it very convenient to replace parts, especially during repairs, reducing hassle significantly. However, the integrated propeller guard’s design leaves limited space for the O3 Air Unit’s USB port, SD card slot, and tuning button, making it challenging to access these features. In contrast, the CineLog 35 does not have these issues.
