Postby sidd finch » Mon Jul 03, 2017 10:12 am

WIth the 4th of July holiday almost upon us I thought that this would be a nice way to get an early start on the festivities in the USA..... remember kids do not try this at home... :)

Pretty cool! I don't think I'd want to try this with my drone, if I had one. :TU:
I see there are a number of these vids on YouTube.

Fireworks videos were sure dull before they invented drones!

I would almost expect to see that effect in an upcoming James Bond movie. Where bond has to travel through the fireworks... lol

Those were the coolest fireworks I've seen. How high up would you say that drone is flying?

my guess would be about 1000 ft in the air.

As a general rule of thumb, a shell should burst at 30 meters (100 feet) for every 25mm (inch) of diameter, plus 15-30 meters more. So a 75mm (3 inch) shell, the smallest common size, should burst at around 100 meters

I spotted three drones last night hovering around the fireworks, with their conspicuous red and green lights. It was kind if eerie seeing them hovering in place and then all of a sudden dart sideways, like the description of UFO's given by normal folk years ago. I also saw a satellite cross the sky as I was looking up; nothing unusual there.

We saw a drone during our fireworks too. Red and green lights. Changing direction. It was pretty obvious what it had to be. I was thinking exactly the same thing re UFOs.

I agree, Robert. It's so strange when I'm out in the back yard when, from out of nowhere, a drone comes zipping by at rooftop level. We are not alone!
