Hot take maybe but this is trash?

I want to like this flytanium zenith, but something’s weird about it, I don’t know if it’s the handles are too light or something but it flips really weird and when trying to flip it back closed or do an aerial to close it feels unbalanced and the swing handle doesn’t respond properly. Am I crazy?

How do I get the vert. Chaplin to keep going? What am I doing wrong?

I can do the normal chaplin perfectly, but I just can't get the vertical chaplin to go for how long I want.

NKD Atropos Kirat 2

Bought this off of u/SireSwag on r/balisongsale. It a lot bigger than I thought. I'm new to 'modern' balisongs (I was into them back before the bm 51 released). This is my 3rd bali and while it flips fine, it is my least favorite flipper so far. That being said, it is a freaking tank and will probably be my EDC when I want to carry a bali.

First flipping video edit I've ever made 🤙

If you have editing apps you recommend or edits of your own you wanna drop in the comments for inspo, it would be much appreciated. I think like skateboarding, song choice, effects, and timing can add so much to flipping videos and get outsiders more interested in the hobby.
