The Surveillance is one of my favorite bi-metals, second only to the Hummingbird. It is incredibly powerful and stable. It isnā€™t super wide and it has a nice H shape. I love it.

I donā€™t know the difference between Surveillance versions. I have two, and I got them in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

It doesnā€™t play as fast as a Hummingbird, but then again not much does except a Draupnir. It is, however, very powerful and stable. On a good throw it spins at high velocity for quite a long time, and it stays on plane like a champ.

I bought the newest it just hasnā€™t come in yet, Iā€™ll be sure to let you know how it is when it arrives. :owl::raised_hands:t4:

I knew there was someone asking about the new one! Mine just came in today so I figured Iā€™d give my initial impressions. Getting this out of the way first, absolutely my new favorite yoyo. No competition. Itā€™s amazingly comfortable to use (for me at least), extremely powerful and long spinning, and it feels pretty damn light and fast on the string. Not to mention absolutely dead smooth. It does feel a little on the narrower side, but thatā€™s to be expected with it only being 42.3mm wide. Idk if you have any experience with titanium throws, but they have this kind of almost ā€œhollowā€ feeling to them when thrown, and the new Surveillance has a VERY similar feeling to it. Makes sense since Mowl says it was one of their goals with the redesign. Mission absolutely accomplished. I guess for anything else youā€™d want to know, the response is perfect imo. Snappy, but not snaggy in the slightest. The finish is pretty smooth too so grinds are pretty good. Fingerspins do get caught up on the engraving a bit though. So yeah. Just my initial Day 1 thoughts of the new 7075 Surveillance

The Surveillance page at YYE still says ā€œComing soon!ā€

When is this thing supposed to drop publicly?

Haha thatā€™s convenient! Iā€™ve got both of those! As far as the Bird goes, the Surveillance is way more controllable. Itā€™s not as crazy light, but doesnā€™t feel that much heavier. Also WAY easier to catch imo. Idk why, but the hummingbird was always hard to catch for me. Spins for way longer, feels more powerful as well. As for the Edolass, I think itā€™s really just different. Itā€™s a lot narrower than the Edolass, but Iā€™d say itā€™s no less catchable while being easier to navigate through complex tech stuff. The Surveillance is more comfortable to use also. Iā€™ve had some issues with the Edolass being kinda painful to catch off of a hard throw, and so far nothing of that sort with the Surveillance. It feels lighter than the Edolass to me also

I tried all 3, I am from team yoyofriends but Iā€™ll try to be unbiased here. Hummingbird is the fastest in top end and acceleration by a decent margin. Power wise they are all around equal, I honestly would put edolass and surveillance ahead maybe a little. Catchability wise edolass is the easiest to catch, followed by surveillance then Hummingbird. Float/momentum wise Hummingbird 1st, surveillance 2nd and then edolass. Stability they are all top of the line, you really shouldnā€™t have any stability issue with these 3 as they are all extremely rim weighted outer ring bi-metal. It depends on what you really like and what kind of player you are.

I fully agree with Philip :+1:

This is just my raw personal preference here, but Iā€™d put the Surveillance in first, followed by the Edolass and Hummingbird. Just my personal opinion. If you can, Iā€™d try all 3 yourself rather than just taking my opinion haha
