I believe you are mistaken. The video does not show a take off with the props unfolded. Both take offs had the props folded. The first time, they were oriented however the drone came out of the bag, pointing in different directions but still folded. The second time, I intentionally put all the props in the same orientation to maximize the chance it would move. And on a slick floor, it moved a small amount.
You say I’m mistaken because it moved a small amount on start up That is what I said it does...
If you arm the motors with the props folded the amount of centrifugal force used to unfold them on start up will cause the MA2 to bolt/move slightly on the ground. If the drone is positioned on the edge of a table the movement could be suffiicent for the front feet of the drone to move off the edge and the drone could fall to the floor. In addition, the props and motors will become worn quicker. BTW - to properly test it try fully folding your props so that the tips of each prop are touching each other before arming the motors - in your video the props are slightly unfolded.
It is always best practice to check and ensure your props are unfolded before every flight. A simple fact for the many reasons given throughout this thread and in the OP's video
