Description
Coolest swag ever.
The video unfolds as a detailed unboxing and first look at the Gigabyte S107G alloy infrared remote control helicopter. Linus Tech Tips guides viewers through what comes in the box, highlighting a 3-channel infrared drone with gyroscopic stabilization, a main rotor system, tail rotor, landing gear, and a charging interface. He notes the device appears to be made of metal, weighing more than plastic counterparts, and discusses how this could affect performance and battery life, while acknowledging that the heavier frame might improve overall durability in some areas. The packaging and assembly process are described step by step, including the need to insert six AA batteries with a screwdriver, and the included spare propeller blade and USB charging cable. The controller is shown with an on/off switch and a channel selector, and Linus explains how the infrared transmission requires line of sight for operation, with practical advice about trial-and-error channel matching between the remote and the helicopter. Throughout, he delivers a mix of technical commentary and light humor, including remarks about the unboxing as a form of swag and the fun factor of handling a non-PC gadget within a tech channel context.
