The video appears to show gear down, flaps retracted.  That's not normal.

Yeah, the gear down footage made me think the plane was coming in for a landing, then I learned it had just taken off.

 

It could be that something went awry and they did not bother raising the gear. You can climb with the gear down just fine under normal conditions. When initial test flights are made they do not always raise the gear, and they'll be flying at altitude with the gear fully down.
