These Propellers Aren't Worth It - Counterweight Toroidals

Clearly there are major issues with counterweighted propellers, regardless of whether they're regular or toroidal. Lack of balance and the difficulty of balancing them, and the potential issues relating to their uneven generation of lift.

Slow-motion shots were done on my a7III which can only pull-off 120fps at 1080p but with pixel-binning, which is why the image quality really suffers for those bits.
