I noticed the S1000 is tethered, and the cables are under tension. Why not let it hover by itself? It'll be less strain for a start, and a more real world test. I'm assuming it can get GPS lock, of course.
typical marketing stunt, because an endurance test based on an external power supply is totally useless. It does not event puts to the test the "DJI" copter, but rather the lifetime of the motor's bearings (and/or ESCs).
if it is to test life duration of motors, you can do this with a motor on a bench...

You guys have weekends? I have kids instead...my flight time is measured in minutes, quite literally.
You have to start on Friday, and it might spill over into Monday...
After 72 hours, they've proved their point. That's a full weekend of flying, non-stop.

@John- Great question...:)
What happened after 72 hours?
It's on external power but still an impressive endurance test on ESC's and motors.
