He does give a warning at the start of the video.

True. It does seem a bit wasteful.

I would say complete rubbish, but maybe that is too firmly.

I am with Moontfrooij on this. That kind of videos are just to get views on youtube, but I consider them all really prescindible

He does give a warning at the beginning of the video to turn off if youre offended by it.

Yeah yeah, I know. I just sharing my thoughts about these kind of drone analysis

Did you see him try to destroy the Neo.

This one was quite interesting

I can't live without my mid-morning coffee

It's the only one I have all day.

Thats very reserved of you,  Im doing well if I stop drinking coffee by lunch time.

I usually take the breakfast at 6:30AM, but at those early hours I am not prepared to drink it

Im usually out walking around that time,    so I grab an expresso before I set out around 5-530am.

Yes, I am also going for a walk at 6:30 when I am still unable to see the sun and the streets

These videos are very helpfull to see the limit of the drone... People that does not like it are dummies who love to be uninformed

Quite the interesting crash test.  I can't believe it lasted as long as it did, particularly because of the weak looking design.

Agreed,   I was sure that those fold out props would have been worse than that.

Also, the weak joints where the arms fold out should be a high failure point.  Maybe DJI put it through many more stress tests than I thought.

Based on the testing they did on the dock Im assuming they test much better than we think.

No doubt you're right about that.  It would be most embarrassing to put out a product that didn't have some durability to it.  

Seemed a bit of a dumb thing to do but at least it demonstrated how durable the Flip actually is I suppose

And costly if you get it wrong no doubt,    as well as to the brand image too

Better than expected I would say too.

Especially after having so many successful drone designs prior to it.  

I'm still anxious to see the DJI 360.  It cleared the FCC quite a while back.  Maybe early tests didn't go well and they are still tweaking it before release.

Must be though the software they are tweaking otherwise wouldnt they need to go back through the ccc approval process.

I'm guessing they wouldn't unless something changed that effected the approved frequencies.
