BE SURE TO WATCH IN HD! Flying through a firework show with a DJI Phantom 2 and filming it with a GoPro Hero 3 silver. The quad was not damaged. • GoPro: Fireworks From ...
timrs2001 It's illegal actually. Depending on where you live, there are laws preventing flight near fireworks and around crowds. Try and you will set the bar very very low very for all drone fliers. It only takes one accident to paint a broad brush for everyone.
ken masters I'm honestly a little surprised the authority having jurisdiction over such things has had time and effort to create such a law, but I'm now extremely interested to know the details - can you cite it?
Amazing footage!!! As a drone pilot myself, my thoughts went toward safety as alotta folks did. From what I saw, the fireworks were launched from unmanned barges, in the middle of a body of water. Thus, had the bird gone down, it was a very slim chance anyone would have gotten hurt. Yes, he risked his bird, but I'm guessing he knew that :-) My hats off to the pilot for enjoying life in the moment, and sharing it with us all :-)
Having shot fireworks before, I can tell you we wear hard hats. Lots of stuff goes up against the wind and comes back down with the wind, right where we are. So we’re ready for sun 250g drones. Please don’t do this with heavier ones, they would hurt...
It depends…. If they are just launching mortar after mortar I wouldn’t want to fly thru some shit like that but Something like this I’d risk it for the biskit to get that shot . $1300 and even more , 2,3,4 ..7 to 10 grand for the thermal drones. I’d HATE to loose my drone because it got knocked out the sky because I was flying over fireworks…..
For those of you saying this flight was not worth the risk, consider the financial risk return standpoint: RUclips pays for adsense. Let's say the number was $1 per 1000 views. On December 13th, 2014, this video has 10,377,784 views / 1000 views = approx $10,377.78. DJI Phantom with the GoPro H3 goes for around $1000. For $1000, to make 10 tens off of it from 4 minutes of footage and a couple months, that's better than stocks.
I googled how to make money from RUclips, and it's my understanding that only people with a lot of subscribers get paid for views on videos. And the best way to gain subscribers is to get million hit videos. The author of this video has 5,000 + subscribers, at this writing. I don't know what the magic number is to get paid.
I think the ratio of $ to views is lower. My 13 videos have accumulated a total of 17,000 views and I am sitting at $69.00 in earnings. I am guessing this is pretty standard.
Demetrius Villa The no-fly zone for fireworks was not designed with quadcopters in mind, it was designed to keep manned aircraft from becoming disoriented and losing their night vision in a display and then crashing into the spectators. Sure, the quadcopter is considered an aircraft, so it should also abide by the no-fly rule, but there is literally no risk. The worst case scenario is that one of the fireworks destroys the quadcopter, but because it has no gliding capability it would fall straight into the water harming nobody. Source: I'm a private pilot who has taken commercial ground courses, so we talk ALOT about the FAA's rules and why they are in place.
This footage is just amazing. Literally makes you see the beauty in things from a wholly different perspective. I literally had no idea what I was looking at at 3:37 and thought it was looking to the sky. I know that's impossible but, it was not until the camera panned to the buildings that I realized I was looking down. Such is testament to the beauty of what you managed to capture. On a side note, another excellent choice of music you could've used was the song "Whole New World" from the disney aladdin movie.
My jaw was dropped this entire video for two reasons. First is to the amazing shots you collected. Secondly, the fact that you'd fly your drone into fireworks. But truly a spectacular video.
You're lucky you didn't lose multiple hundreds of dollars worth of equipment... But the results are spectacular! This is by far the best view of a fireworks display I've ever experienced. Thank you!
I agree it's very cool, but that thing seriously could have crashed straight into a barge or into a crowd. This is the sort of thing that the FAA is going to point to when they want to start restricting the sale/use of drones for personal use.
And now... this is the camera angle we will expect to see of any fireworks display that is televised. What is my life, when i was younger we were bitching about sodding tamogochii's, now its flying through actual decorative explosions like a video game!
***** yeah along my years of travelling through internet ive learned to spot fakes or atleast be suspicious when needed but theres none of that here lelelele
***** Here's a little thought experiment for you: imagine the volume of each firework being fired into the air in aggregate. This is in total about the size of a small truck. Now, in your head, compare the volume of a small truck to the entire airspace over West Palm Beach. And maybe you'll begin to see that it's actually very unlikely that the drone would ever get hit.
Just beautiful. so classy work of art in every respect . Your choice of song and in to the unreal fireworks are so moving, brought tears to my eyes..... It's comforting to know there are still people like you walking this earth. Beyond belief that some have given it the thumbs down !!! I don't care,, for every thump down there are millions thumbs up to take their place. Well done to you.
The drone probably costs less than a single rocket. The fireworks company should hire a dozen drone pilots and add that to the choreography, or add drone command to the computer systems controlling the rockets. Then live stream it to IMAX theaters or planetariums.
Utterly amazing. This is what it must be like flying through a meteor storm. Reminds me very much of some of the imagery from Brainstorm at the climax of the film.
Prague, by a small ravine from which they launch the fireworks ;) It looks nice but the explosions are so loud it shakes the glass in the windowframes :D
An octogenarian with a punk rock-style mohawk dude for an avatar... on RUclips. Interesting. Anyways, if you truly do get trauma (PTSD) by viewing fireworks, why did you click on this video?
If you watch any #fourthofjuly videos, this is the one. Remarkable footage and it's surprising that the guy's drone didn't get lost as he's flying it alarmingly close to some of these explosions.
HERMOSÍSIMO!!!! Nunca antes había visto una experiencia de fuegos artificiales en video con este nivel de realidad. Ojalá que aquí en Chile, se comiencen a utilizar drones para transmitir el tradicional Año Nuevo en el Mar (Valparaíso-Viña del Mar- Reñaca y Concón); sería impresionante :D
The music is beautiful and so appropriate. Anyone who doesn't like it can certainly mute their speakers. Thank you, this is lovely. Brought tears to my eyes watching and listening to this. Well done.
Not even joking reading the comments below is like seeing a small child complaining something to his teacher gosh... This video is awesome and also the fireworks is far from where people are watching it and if the fireworks did hit the drone it wouldn't fly to someone like let's be real here people sounds so damn stupid in the comments....
You obviously have not concept of how powerful show grade fireworks are. They are military grade projectiles with pre-mature fuses that make you go ooooooo ahhhh. They are set up by professionals for a reason. If by some off chance that drone got nailed and fell onto the barge and knocked over one of the mortars. It can launch a shell into the crowed, since you are on youtub look up professional fire work disasters.
+Aminul Islam Sajib .Fireworks don't technically explode, I can't remember or be bothered to look up the word for what they actually do, de-something or over. An explosion is classed as a shockwave moving ahead of the blast, i.e. faster than sound. Fireworks don't do this so the drone probably wasn't in any great danger, maybe a direct hit to the camera as the firework released its payload may have damaged the camera, but the mechanics of the drone were never in danger.
Exactly what I've been waiting to see since drones were invented! Oh, I've seen the others but yours is the best. I could watch that for hours. Just one thing -- if you recorded the shells bursting, would it be possible to let us hear *that* version? I mean, I love Italian opera singers as much as the next guy -- but I'd REALLY rather hear those incredible explosions! (Please, all those who agree, make your voices known.) AND thanks so much for the visuals - - never have seen anything li
While this is some very beautiful, unique footage, this is a perfect example of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should". Been flying RC for decades without hardly any hassle from Big Brother, then a few Droneholes like this come along, and now the FAA is coming down on us like a ton of bricks.
If this had been filmed in the UK I would be asking whether the pilot had breached the regulations regarding proximity to an open air assembly: " The person in charge must not fly the SUA (Small Unmanned Aircraft): e) over or within 150 metres of an organised open-air assembly of more than 1,000 persons; and h) within 30 metres of any other person during take-off or landing;" CAA Air Navigation Order 2009 General Exemption E 3780 23/4/2014 Nice footage though, and I like the reverse explosions, a very nice touch.
So it's Florida. As I understand it the FAA is moving towards banning this kind of flying and videoing COMPLETELY. All US citizens who are concerned might want to take a look at: www.flitetest.com/news/faa-ban-on-fpv and perhaps sensibly and respectfully contribute your views. Hi 2809kev I might be annoying but I am trying to PROTECT our right to fly. Sorry if I was irritating.
Oh yeah? Well If I were in the UK, I would be shouting VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!! in your streets... Of course, I do that here too..... VIVA LA REVOLUTION WORLDWIDE!!!! Also fuck your shithouse rules. People making them don't follow them, go fuck yourself if you think you can force anyone else to. And that goes double for you skunk-snogging queen.
Fireworks from a truly interesting and beautiful perspective. However, I can see how such use of drones could cause concern and even controversy. It's a double edged sword. On one hand, we have a beautifully artistic visual result and on the other there is the safety factor that you simply cannot ignore. Looks like some regulations may be in order.
Here's the thing for me - while the drone is in plenty of danger, that's the owner's choice. I doubt the launch zone is inhabited, and even if it is the risk of a falling drone that's been shot down seems roughly on par with the risk of the other falling hot debris from the fireworks - so what _new_ safety risk has been introduced by the presence of a drone? I don't object to justified regulations that mitigate some irresponsible risk - but I don't see anything in this scenario that calls for such regulations. No new danger to the public, no safety risk beyond whatever already existed by setting off controlled explosions over a populated area.
Personal drones are not illegal and to be quite honest, they aren't that expensive. Gotta remember, these aren't the type of drones that the military uses, they are more like remote controlled airplanes of yesteryear with a lot better range and a lot better control. If anyone is worried about personal privacy issues, trust me, there are cheaper and easier ways to keep an eye on you without the use of a personal drone.
HMMMMM enough gun powder to blow a city and you still have time to worry about the little drone over the water? the military and news, brainwashing, is why people have a problem with "drones", lol not hobbiest like myself who film as well..
And to those sticking up for the sucky music, actually, I have quite a bit of taste in music and know more about it than most. I just don't care for something that apparently lots of other people don't care for either, judging by all the comments and thumbs-ups. On the other hand, at least this "loser" doesn't have to lower himself to expletives and name calling just because he says "yuk" to a bunch of noise that dozens of others don't seem to like either. Now who're the ones with "no effing taste"? :D
There is no way a drone, weighing only ounces, can knock a heavily-rigged-military-grade mortar out of place. And even if that plastic toy actually deflected a firework round, it would only be redirected a few feet. Then again, a dog could have been spooked and bit a spectator, so lets call off the entire show.
Hahaha Just what I've been saying. People need to lighten up and enjoy life and be responsible for their own actions for a change. No more stupid regulations for every damned thing.
I sure hope to God the government doesn't do it's thing and make something like this illegal. It's going to be really sad when all these people with drones won't be able to use them. Meanwhile we see drones in the air all the time and it's the cops using them to try and make you a criminal. It's already illegal for realtors to use drones to survey their own properties. It's also illegal for farmers to use drones to determine what areas need fertilizer and water. Let's stop this insanity. Make drones legal for everyone under a thousand feet. The government has no business controlling more aspects of our lives. And before you complain about the dangers of doing something like this, it's no more dangerous than shooting controlled explosions in the air. Besides, there were safety zones.
"And before you complain about the dangers of doing something like this, it's no more dangerous than shooting controlled explosions in the air." Depending on the size of said controlled explosions, you need a pyrotechnician's license to use them if they're large enough. Otherwise it's illegal. Your comparison is moot. Signed, The Big Scary Government.

Over 4 years later, I still come back to this video because I love the videography and music! Very well done!

@@nes.torfernandez Flying a drone at any point is pretty dangerous.

Drone pilot ? Calm down. You bought a drone and used it. That's it. Get over yourself
amazing stuff. perhaps the best drone video i have ever seen.
Συμφωνώ :3
this is a perfect example of what quad-copters and drones can be used for. How often do you see something so up close and wonderful? this is pure art
Years later, I am still saying this is stunning.

Beybit Williamnov than in your case ratio is higher than $1 per 1000, because u got more than $17
SwSAS1786 You didn't understand the risk part apparently.

or a 3d camera can you imagine
or a 3d 360 camera :P
Or a 3D 360 4K camera :PPPPP
or a 3d 360 4K Ultra OLED camera ;>
Or
a 3d lightfield® 360 16K SlowMo VR DX357544R8 ... pro of course
Always come to watch this every year around the 4th of July. It's the best, thank you so, do much.
Hands down the best video of 2014.
This feeling of flying through sparks of light made me very happy.
As a fireworks enthusiast, this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen!
It's funny with the couple in the beginning, smiling politely at the nerd with his toy. Little did they know how fantastic the footage would be.
It's the fuckin' Catalina Wine Mixer!
Step brothers hahaha
POWPOW
freakin*
boi shutup he can say what he wants
Boats and hoes
My jaw was dropped this entire video for two reasons. First is to the amazing shots you collected. Secondly, the fact that you'd fly your drone into fireworks. But truly a spectacular video.
the only acceptable video of fireworks to this day
I never thought seeing fireworks from up will be this beautiful 😍
Best view of Fireworks! Thank you for sharing your perspective!
I love living in the future.
***** your brain and your parents love is not real
Davie Leyba BURN!
AzureRathalos Torterratrainer No, not really... It was a shitty comeback that was way out of context
***** actually time is real
It must sound fucking fantastic living in the future the present is good as well.
You're lucky you didn't lose multiple hundreds of dollars worth of equipment... But the results are spectacular! This is by far the best view of a fireworks display I've ever experienced. Thank you!
Hey, as long as it's someone else's budget, I'm happy to watch the results! :)

lol they would probably make that money with the views on this video anyway :p
Dallas Carney It was above water. It might have hit someone in a boat but that's more unlikely than flying it over a large crowd on land.
best I ever seen!
I dont listen to this type of music... EVER... but for some reason it spoke to me. The video and music together gives me hope for better days.
This guy LITTERLY risking his drone to look at this. BUT IT LOOLS AMAZING THOUGH
Literally? English is hard...
Ocean Forest not everybody has English as his native language my dude
@@TimsWildlife yeah, I live in the Netherlands. Sorry I am a 12 year old🤷♀️
Most wonderful thing I've seen in a while.
This is so beautiful
omg im from itay i and i now this song becuse im italian
I think this is one of the best things I have ever seen on youtube, since 2006!
And now... this is the camera angle we will expect to see of any fireworks display that is televised.
What is my life, when i was younger we were bitching about sodding tamogochii's, now its flying through actual decorative explosions like a video game!
Perhaps the coolest thing I've ever seen! 😮
am I the only one who was expecting a firework to direct hit the drone?
***** Fake.. :''DD oh man, dunno if trollin
***** well its not fake lol

***** it starts with an h and ends in r. can you guess the word? also ''umou'' in between. get reeeekt
I decided to watch this again.... Truly one of the most beautiful displays I've ever seen
This flight and the beauty it captured is everything 💜 Thank you.
I remember when i was a kid wishing and dreaming i could fly through the fireworks!!
Thank you for making my dream come true!! Awesome!!
Never get tired of watching this!
Thank you for the front row seat to a spectacular event!
Just beautiful. so classy work of art in every respect . Your choice of song and in to the unreal fireworks are so moving, brought tears to my eyes.....
It's comforting to know there are still people like you walking this earth.
Beyond belief that some have given it the thumbs down !!! I don't care,, for every thump down there are millions thumbs up to take their place. Well done to you.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing. I've never seen anything quite like this. Beautiful!
The drone probably costs less than a single rocket. The fireworks company should hire a dozen drone pilots and add that to the choreography, or add drone command to the computer systems controlling the rockets. Then live stream it to IMAX theaters or planetariums.
Now, here we got a man with an idea...
Run with that idea man. It's a good one.
Klaus Lungwitz Yea, stupid idea
Ya that would be tight!
drones are actually pretty expensive. the nice ones anyway. nice ones are $600 to $1000+ ... like this drone was well over $1000
Utterly amazing. This is what it must be like flying through a meteor storm. Reminds me very much of some of the imagery from Brainstorm at the climax of the film.
I live on 16th floor, this is what I see every New Year ;)
Where is this located ?
Prague, by a small ravine from which they launch the fireworks ;) It looks nice but the explosions are so loud it shakes the glass in the windowframes :D
TeaSpoon Are you sure it isn't at St john's at OPorto? 'Cause seems very familiar to me :)
Susana Machado I am talking about the proximity to fireworks the drone camera achieves ;)
TeaSpoon
Ohhh makes sense... My bad, sorry :)
I am a world war 2 bomber pilot and I found this video traumatizing
Don't watch it...?
An octogenarian with a punk rock-style mohawk dude for an avatar... on RUclips. Interesting.
Anyways, if you truly do get trauma (PTSD) by viewing fireworks, why did you click on this video?
Must have been one hell of a night mission you were on lol
smokebomb.exe
BOOM... Found out.............. HAHAHA!!
Dude you've gotta be like 90 by now and that is if you joined in 1941 at 16 years old, probably a troll.
I sometimes forget that fireworks aren't 2 dimensional
Yes
I always think they are like 20 times bigger than what they actually are
This is how I hope that our loved one we have lost view the fireworks. This is by far the best firework drone video and always has been. Great job.
THIS WAS VERY COOL!! ITS ABOUT TIME WE HAVE A NEW USE OF DRONE TECH..VERY NICE!!!
Immediately thought of the movie Step Brothers when I first heard the music lol. This is really amazing stuff though.
So much yes.
Catalina Wine Mixer!
***** It's that f****** Catalina Wine Mixer. haha
Wow, great idea and wondeful pictures.
Oh my stars! This video and song never gets old!!!
It must be interesting for the drone to only be observing rockets this time instead of firing them at people.
Men I just love you reply!
I would really like to see a quadcopter like this one fire anything, let alone rockets...
ಠ_ಠ
Make love, no war. Film it.
Billy Harkey Then upload to Pornhub.
got to watch this on 1080 P, full screen. Great job.
If you watch any #fourthofjuly videos, this is the one. Remarkable footage and it's surprising that the guy's drone didn't get lost as he's flying it alarmingly close to some of these explosions.
I was surprised the drone wasn't damaged, and thinking that this has to be one of the best uses I have seen for a GoPro.
Breathtaking footage!
It was my fault we didn't get to see fireworks last night so I hope this is a good consolation prize for my wife ;)
Wow this comment was wrote in 2014 or somethin
May be one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. Love the music too.
Of course!.Fly a drone through it! Very cool.
Awesome !!
I saw a drone flying over the fireworks in beacon. Cool.
This song is " Con Te Partiro " sung by " Andrea Bocelli "
No, it's boats and hoes
Drek Anon this makes me so sad, bocelli will never see fireworks
NYRangersfan63 lol
There was also another one with Sarah Brightman called "Time to Say Goodbye".
time to say goodbye is just the English version...she sang it with him. :)
I just keep thinking of Stepbrothers with this song
Duhh

Joey Beans I THOUGHT THE SAME THING XD
You legend BOATS AND HOES
I've just listened to this music a thousand times. And that's not enough.
When Andrea Bocelli sings this song, I'm sure he imagines this very video
I would say that is a great use of "Time to Say Goodbye"! WOW! Chills!!!!
You know Andrea Bocelli's blind, right? No offence.
Andrea is Blind that is correct, but I'm sure he has a very vivid imagination.

I enjoyed this video once I turned the volume down..
pretty ballsy to fly through that :)
So magical. Especially when fireworks come up to meet the camera.
Who wishes they could have seen this in 3D?
And the music by Andre Bocelli "Con Te Partro" (Time to Say Goodbye is so great...)
Thank you! I was looking for that info!!
can't not think of "time to say goodbye" by twenty one pilots tho
Good firework memes

This is one of the most stunning videos in RUclips.
I'm surprised it wasn't hit by one of the explosions, knocking it out of the sky. Gladly it wasn't, but I'm still impressed that survived.
I'm not sure about this specific model of quad-copter, but some can keep operational even after being shot with buckshot.
This is simply the coolest video ever shot by drone as well as the coolest fireworks footage ever shot!!!!!!!!!!! Well fucking done maestro!!!!!!
I'm surprised he wasn't worried that one of those fireworks could actually hit the drone mid-explosion which could send it down?
***** Still worth it I think...

2:28, looks close. Possibly a hit.
+Aminul Islam Sajib his drone has a force field
Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing. I've never seen anything quite like this. Beautiful! ❤💛🧡💚💜🤍
its the god damn Catalina Wine Mixer
taking heavy flak fire
3D + Oculus Rift next year someone please!
+Tinseltopia oh hell yes! This would've been amazing in 3D as it's right in the middle of the explosions.
This + High Def 360 Video + VR headset = bliss
Побывать в эпицентре салюта....легко! Смотрите видео с беспилотника.
Красотища!
Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome footage is an understatement. It's a good thing the drone did not get "shot" down by a firecracker.
Exactly what I've been waiting to see since drones were invented! Oh, I've seen the others but yours is the best. I could watch that for hours. Just one thing -- if you recorded the shells bursting, would it be possible to let us hear *that* version?
I mean, I love Italian opera singers as much as the next guy -- but I'd REALLY rather hear those incredible explosions! (Please, all those who agree, make your voices known.) AND thanks so much for the visuals - - never have seen anything li

Hey, Jos, you once said you had plans to film another one in 2015. Did you ever manage to accomplish that?
While this is some very beautiful, unique footage, this is a perfect example of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should". Been flying RC for decades without hardly any hassle from Big Brother, then a few Droneholes like this come along, and now the FAA is coming down on us like a ton of bricks.
If this had been filmed in the UK I would be asking whether the pilot had breached the regulations regarding proximity to an open air assembly: " The person in charge must not fly the SUA (Small Unmanned Aircraft): e) over or within 150 metres of an organised open-air assembly of more than 1,000 persons; and h) within 30 metres of any other person during take-off or landing;" CAA Air Navigation Order 2009 General Exemption E 3780 23/4/2014
Nice footage though, and I like the reverse explosions, a very nice touch.
You must be fun at parties.
that's because of such reckless attitude that the hobby suffers of heavier and heavier rules. Great shots but totally stupid.
So it's Florida. As I understand it the FAA is moving towards banning this kind of flying and videoing COMPLETELY. All US citizens who are concerned might want to take a look at: www.flitetest.com/news/faa-ban-on-fpv and perhaps sensibly and respectfully contribute your views.
Hi 2809kev I might be annoying but I am trying to PROTECT our right to fly. Sorry if I was irritating.
But it wasn't filmed in the UK, so what's your point. He was obviously over the water.
Oh yeah? Well If I were in the UK, I would be shouting VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!! in your streets...
Of course, I do that here too..... VIVA LA REVOLUTION WORLDWIDE!!!!
Also fuck your shithouse rules. People making them don't follow them, go fuck yourself if you think you can force anyone else to. And that goes double for you skunk-snogging queen.
Fireworks from a truly interesting and beautiful perspective. However, I can see how such use of drones could cause concern and even controversy. It's a double edged sword. On one hand, we have a beautifully artistic visual result and on the other there is the safety factor that you simply cannot ignore. Looks like some regulations may be in order.
... and how would you enforce these regulations?
Regulations? MORE regulations? Don't we have regulations already for every damned thing?
Here's the thing for me - while the drone is in plenty of danger, that's the owner's choice. I doubt the launch zone is inhabited, and even if it is the risk of a falling drone that's been shot down seems roughly on par with the risk of the other falling hot debris from the fireworks - so what _new_ safety risk has been introduced by the presence of a drone?
I don't object to justified regulations that mitigate some irresponsible risk - but I don't see anything in this scenario that calls for such regulations. No new danger to the public, no safety risk beyond whatever already existed by setting off controlled explosions over a populated area.
Personal drones are not illegal and to be quite honest, they aren't that expensive. Gotta remember, these aren't the type of drones that the military uses, they are more like remote controlled airplanes of yesteryear with a lot better range and a lot better control.
If anyone is worried about personal privacy issues, trust me, there are cheaper and easier ways to keep an eye on you without the use of a personal drone.
HMMMMM enough gun powder to blow a city and you still have time to worry about the little drone over the water? the military and news, brainwashing, is why people have a problem with "drones", lol not hobbiest like myself who film as well..
OMG. So awesome.
This looks like it should have been part of the Aladdin magic carpet ride.
I'm just glad the drone didn't take a direct hit. Lovely though.
Drone plus GoPro prolly would have been a $1,000 hit, so yeah. LOL
Thank you Andy, The music and the fireworks are far better then flowers who die !
??
Very cool!
That's really cool...fireworks in 3D! Can do without that music though - major YUK! Would rather hear the explosions anyway.
mute button works quite well
You have no fucking taste loser.
@DrSmokeTrees so because someone doesn't like listening to con te partiro they have no taste? The music SUCKS with this video, plain and simple.
toph2223 You have no fucking taste loser.
And to those sticking up for the sucky music, actually, I have quite a bit of taste in music and know more about it than most. I just don't care for something that apparently lots of other people don't care for either, judging by all the comments and thumbs-ups. On the other hand, at least this "loser" doesn't have to lower himself to expletives and name calling just because he says "yuk" to a bunch of noise that dozens of others don't seem to like either. Now who're the ones with "no effing taste"? :D
There is no way a drone, weighing only ounces, can knock a heavily-rigged-military-grade mortar out of place. And even if that plastic toy actually deflected a firework round, it would only be redirected a few feet.
Then again, a dog could have been spooked and bit a spectator, so lets call off the entire show.
Hahaha Just what I've been saying. People need to lighten up and enjoy life and be responsible for their own actions for a change. No more stupid regulations for every damned thing.
Damn this video was cool and the song from Andre Bocelli ... wow... how beatiful things humanity can create!
Who else is watching this on July 2016 to hype up for the 4th?
Me
👍
I'm watching this on july 4th 2016 xD
Brian Michael Finn Oh thank god I thought I was the only one
I'm surprised that there is hype for a couple of fireworks
Step Brothers background song! 😂😂 nice!
the song is italinan mama mia!!!
I sure hope to God the government doesn't do it's thing and make something like this illegal. It's going to be really sad when all these people with drones won't be able to use them. Meanwhile we see drones in the air all the time and it's the cops using them to try and make you a criminal. It's already illegal for realtors to use drones to survey their own properties. It's also illegal for farmers to use drones to determine what areas need fertilizer and water. Let's stop this insanity. Make drones legal for everyone under a thousand feet. The government has no business controlling more aspects of our lives. And before you complain about the dangers of doing something like this, it's no more dangerous than shooting controlled explosions in the air. Besides, there were safety zones.
Look - drones are for extrajudicial killings ONLY, ok?
"And before you complain about the dangers of doing something like this, it's no more dangerous than shooting controlled explosions in the air."
Depending on the size of said controlled explosions, you need a pyrotechnician's license to use them if they're large enough. Otherwise it's illegal. Your comparison is moot.
Signed, The Big Scary Government.
It is also illegal to use drones for search and rescue.... Sad but true.
And chem trails, the worst. Quit complaining you negative people.
Oh how right your forecast was
I never thought one could pilot a drone into commercial fireworks and actually get the footage intact!
Love the shots of the horsetails btw
