Being a scientist, I had to check the math. Turns out it's even worse. You could have made $53,000 (£44,000) a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Shell did in 2022.

@PaulOBrien Good to know, thanks. Be interesting to know if they give the same gains on the Mini3 which is already quieter and more efficient

[Tom D'Roza @tdroza]

@PaulOBrien Tempted by these but put off by the vague marketing: improved propellor efficiency, better noise suppression, extra flight time. All those things are measurable yet they don't quote a single number

@PaulOBrien @UlanziSales Well, that's a shame!😰

[Tom D'Roza @tdroza]

@PaulOBrien @UlanziSales I have the insta360 to 3.5mm adapter, but I hoped as this was usb-c it might work directly?

[Tom D'Roza @tdroza]

@PaulOBrien @UlanziSales Tempted by this - wondering whether it works with a DJI Action / Action2 or Insta360 camera. Are you able to test?

[Tom D'Roza @tdroza]

@PaulOBrien Same thing happened to me with the Eufy Doorbell Dual a couple of months ago. Got some weasel excuse about warehousing logistics. So frustrating!

@PaulOBrien It does have rear sensors - they are mounted toward the front, behind the forward sensors. Placed my order this afternoon. My trusty Spark was lost to the sea a couple of weeks ago so timing was right for me

@PaulOBrien TheVerge have done a video review, and I think "not awful" is a reasonable summary https://t.co/Wv3XMrfHpV

@saltrocksoul Still seeing a shipping charge (this time it's £5.85), on an order of £61.25. 😕

[Tom D'Roza @tdroza]

@saltrocksoul trying to place an order, total value £61.25, says I qualify for free shipping but when I go to checkout shipping is charged at £11.85. 😕
