Re-watched on computer monitor this time. The cut is between 00:00:19 and 00:00:20 of the demo.

That's a really good catch. Didn't notice it my first time watching it. I suppose that either way it beats the old method but that's very weird to do that to the test.

i asked about this in the comment section and my comment got deleted

That cut is so obvious they're not even trying.

maybe it isn't nefarious

Well, based on the speed of the needle and what I know of damped motion because of the generation of eddy currents that did not at all look like the same thing.

It's been the source of a lot of headaches for me (specifically: windmill cogging), there is no way that that needle stopped in the way it did in the video.

Agree, I've also seen other comments that note this getting removed. I'm now shadowbanned from commenting on the video. It would be great if more people noted this issue so that some of them might not be moderated and blocked.

Might possibly be a new I frame, the embedded video doesn't seem to be all that high quality.

nah, go frame by frame, you can see light reflecting differently from the needle

And from the copper around it...
