Others

The other "tests" can be viewed on his YouTube page, there are several proofs that the camera survived after these tests. Just don't try experimenting with your own equipment.

That guy something is not right with his head. Besides, that it's not some fake, because microwave oven test the camera also passed, which in my opinion is not too real.

In Latvian, "lens" is "objektivs", not "lens" ;)

Just saying - in Latvian, the word "lenses" is usually associated with eyeglasses!

Well, I do not know what attitude toward equipment you must have to do something like that.
For example, I could never bring myself to throw MY Nikon from the second floor or hammer nails with it.
