00:00:00 - Cinewhoops are not just for "cinematic" flying any more
00:00:54 - Frame design is VERY refined
00:02:26 - Vibration-isolated canopy for video
00:04:28 - Vibration-isolating bobbins are the weak spot
00:05:55 - The 1.6" version
00:06:59 - Camera mounts seem optimized only for DJI camera
00:09:33 - Dipole antennas worse for DJI?
00:10:25 - What else comes in the box?
00:11:15 - Motors, props, battery
00:12:09 - External USB adapter is SO ANNOYING
00:15:21 - Flight Controller and Receiver (ELRS built in)
00:16:07 - Weight
00:16:32 - Flight Test: 2.2"
00:20:40 - High-Volt vs. non-HV mAh
00:22:04 - Let's try to break the 22!
00:25:10 - Crash test results
00:27:39 - Flight test: 1.6"
00:29:57 - Let's try to break the 16!
00:31:47 - Final word
