Disclaimer: Nothing cinematic here. Bad quality as well...
Finally got the GepRC Cinelog 25 HD. Not easy to reach the bind button - though you can do it without removing the motor as I finally managed. Can't reach the USB ports without removing stuff though.
Another problem: You need a $2 adapter to connect the SMO 4K camera unless you want to start soldering right away. So remember to include it in your order or your video will look as bad as mine.
The quad flies very nicely once you get the hang of it. Certainly no fail safes like the DJI FPV drone but more forgiving when you crash - unless you do the crash as perfectly as I did... Watch to the end. So now I'm waiting again...

It's a nice little bird. Maybe you can bribe her: Does she like to walk? You need a spotter anyway ;-)

Glad you finally got your mini-FPV.  Don't feel bad as the first flight with my cinewhoop I crashed it also.  Good news is the parts are much cheaper than for the DJI FPV.  With these mini FPV drones you become a skilled mechanic/repairman quickly.  LOL.

Yeah, LOL. I wouldn't mind the repairs less if I didn't have to wait for parts shipped from China...

Unfortunately, seems to be where most parts are sourced from.  Shipping does tend to be a bit slow.  Oh well, in the meantime keep on flying the DJI FPV.

Do you mean: what's it for? You cannot attach the SMO 4K camera to the quad. You need an adapter.
Or do you want to know where to get it? Here:

Yes. Flies differently and very nicely. And you don't have to keep a distance of 150 m from population...

Yes, it's on the vista. You have to push the prop guard off.

I wonder what is the difference between this Ruko drone and the DJI FPV?

I don't know the first drone but to me it seems like a clone to the original DJI Mavic Pro. You fly it with a phone attached to the controller to use as a screen. It might be okay, I wouldn't know. As you can return it for 14 days it MIGHT be worth a try. Though DJI is not market leader for no reason.
The second drone is an fpv drone (first person view) You fly it with goggles over your eyes. It's much faster and more immersive and - depending on which mode you fly it in - much harder to fly. The footage you get is very different. If you fly a curve your image tilts whereas in a "normal" drone it's stabilized.
The first drone could be compared to the DJI Mini 3 or Air 3 or Mavic 3 though I don't know about Ruko's quality.
