Shot down over PHOENIX. Thoughts?

Very new video on tok tok. Comes from a seemingly legit looking page. Watch til the end. What are your thoughts?

Consumer drones do not have a constant glow like that

To prevent crashing? So if it hits something and breaks a propeller mid air, no worries it can just return home? WTF are you talking about?

I guess it prevents crashing in that when you hit “return home” the drone will automatically go straight up in the air to a predetermined elevation, and then make a straight flight to directly above the home location, and then safely lower itself to landing, preventing a potential crash into power lines or trees or whatnot on the way back.

But under no circumstances does that prevent the thing from dropping out of the sky like a rock if it happens to hit something and break.

Wtf does that have to do with what we’re talking about here? The video looks like the drone hits whatever it is in the sky and falls. So…. What’s your point? “most new expensive drones have collision avoidance” cool, mine doesn’t. Maybe this was the same model I have.
