Not without something in the video to scale it, no. The dynamics of the lift of were all wrong - something weighing over a ton wouldn't wobble in that way. Also I can't see how ~2000lbs or more of vertical thrust could be achieved with so little noise and so little evident jet-sheeting over the surrounding grass.
It looked and sounded like a model weighing perhaps 10-15kg with an array of standard electric ducted-fan units totalling somewhere in the region of 3-4kW. If it WAS bigger and capable of carrying a couple of hundred kilos of self-installing flight control system then show me the paperwork that would be needed to test fly that under remote piloting (because that's not a trivial thing in an EASA country). Then perhaps I might be less sceptical.
