I found the audio more disturbing than the video.
Especially at around 24 seconds. I don't know what the rotor RPM was at that point, but a lot lower than I've ever heard it or want to.

The camera gyro has obviously tumbled early on, otherwise there is no way it could be pointing the camera at bits of helicopter. But the sudden roll at around 43 S looks like the real thing.

Is LTE recovery (by the book) any different from LTR recovery? I.e. (assuming enough altitude) enter auto-rotation (at least, that is what I have been taught, before anyone jumps in and tell me that they presume that from now on I'll do something completely different)?
