Fireworks filmed with a drone

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 ...

[@FTBLETSAS]

amazing stuff. perhaps the best drone video i have ever seen.

[@DJ_Ichiyo]

Συμφωνώ :3

[@timrs2001]

This is the video that has set the standard for all of us with drones to try and reach. Amazing work.

[@kenmasters007]

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.

[@chuckugly]

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?

[@DroneOhio]

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 :-)

[@nes.torfernandez]

Pretty dangerous

[@Noadvantage246]

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

[@francoisluneau]

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...

[@Randomperson-vi7qh]

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…..

[@WorthlessClips]

Drone pilot ? Calm down. You bought a drone and used it. That's it. Get over yourself

[@esyphillis101]

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.

[@DemetriusVilla]

For those of you saying this flight was not worth the risk, consider the financial risk return standpoint: KZbin 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.

[@superroop]

I googled how to make money from KZbin, 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.

[@MrAnn33]

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.

[@LonAlexUk]

Beybit Williamnov than in your case ratio is higher than $1 per 1000, because u got more than $17

[@DemetriusVilla]

SwSAS1786 You didn't understand the risk part apparently.

[@cyleleghorn246]

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.

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.

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.

[@tinkerbella7391]

[@NotOneToFly]

***** 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.
