Flying a drone through a fireworks display

Wow! What a great idea! Amazing that one of those explosions didn't take the drone out, or at least damage the camera. Do you know where this was taken? Trippy when whoever produced this reversed the flick for a while towards the end. And Rhad, you might find this crazy coming from me, with classic and psychedelic rock being my favorite stuff, but I actually liked the music. I thought it worked very well.

A great find, and you get another Blade Runner official pat on the back, and I don't mean with my blaster. -

 

this is awesome! for a moment I thought it was Paris, then I thought it was from the 4th of July.

then the video says it was taken in Florida in May.

a very cool use of "drone" technology.


remember when we used to call them remote control cameras and they were used for cool stuff like this?

 

Is this in NYC?

 

Spoiler

 

So cool. I wonder if it would be hard to pilot that thing at night.

 

This is what drones should be used for.

National Geographic > NSA.

 

RC not a drone. The term "drone" is out of control.

 

pretty awesome. I think phase II of this project is a trap door for dropping frogs with parachutes on the masses.

 

Very cool and I liked the music. It would've been nice to hear some of the actual explosions though.

 

I am also surprised the drone didn't or camera didn't get damaged. I've been near big fireworks displays twice where the wind shifted and got hit by some of fallout. While I didn't hurt I remember the fallout being warm and in some cases hot enough to sting a little. It seems like flying very close to large firework explosions could do some damage to the rotors and motors of a drone.

 

It is a drone. And thank you reddit.

Here is the culprit.

Where I live, my buddy shot down one of these types of things down that was flying near the house. About an hour later, these two older guys (British) came to the front gate asking for their device back. We told them to buzz off and then he threatened to call the police. When the local police wouldn't do anything, he came back a few days later and said would sue us. Still haven't received any court summons. We pulled the USB card out of it, but there was no info on it.

 

This story has reached a "cool" temperature, brother.

 

That was beautiful

 

Pretty cool.

Reminds me of when I tried acid back in college.
