Its a start ain't it?
Some engines can't even run at idle like this.
Some like Gus ( also a Powerline product ) aren't even fit to run at all.....

But it is nothing new. In the last few years we have seen videos of the same thing being done by owners, some before and some after balancing.
As you hinted at earlier until this kind of balance becomes the standard, all this is, is one more video of an engine that is for some reason or other balanced better the most.
Could be some grunt was told to go startup every engine in the shop and bring the best one to the clean room to be filmed. That would be the old Chinese style of quality control, build a shit load of parts and sort out the good ones.
My engines are getting bolted to a big rigid block regardless. A resiliently mounted engine is useless if you want to use it to power something that is not also mounted to the same sub frame as the engine, like an overhead line shaft.
