Hearing the Lifenet aircraft experienced 2 barrel rolls while on autopilot in cruise flight which prompted the landing, unknown control authority after he got it back under control but the ring camera that caught the quick descent showed some pitch oscillations at the bottom before he overflew the camera.

The other doorbell camera of the landing you can hear the rpm decreasing on the first contact with a tree before aircraft appears in frame. Once it rolls over you can hear the engines still running but sounds too quiet especially during the landing, they may have been rolled to idle just as he was coming into the top of the tree line, possible the hydraulics could have been fighting him trying to keep the collective from rising and rolling off was the only was to ensure the continued flight to the ground.
