huh thats a pretty nice drone. wonder how long it stays powered or the wire attached also powers it?

Between flying and the light, it would have a pointlessly short battery life if it was internally powered.

It looks to be tethered to the generator next to them, so giving the benefit of the doubt that its a real product, then yes the wire would be powering it.
