Overview
The DarwinFPV CineApe20 is a highly adaptable, beginner-friendly 2-inch whoop FPV drone, offering modular plug-and-play architecture, GPS support, and broad VTX compatibility—now including full support for DJI O4 and O4 Pro systems. Designed to be ultra-compact and under 100g in most configurations, the CineApe20 is the perfect tool for indoor filming, freestyle practice, and lightweight cinematic work in tight spaces.
Compared to the traditional Pavo20 frame, CineApe20 uses a softer TPU material, which absorbs low-frequency vibrations without using shock-absorbing balls, thus eliminating rolling shutter while preserving DJI O3/O4 ultra-wide view. The integrated body design further improves durability and protects internal electronics from dust and debris.
If you're just stepping into the world of FPV or looking for a cost-effective and legal whoop solution for international flying, the CineApe20 offers unbeatable performance and value.
