Always a big fan of your hard work and dedication Joel

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you! I appreciate the comment

[@poopsackmcgee12]

+Joel Robinson No problem. As a quick question, how much did this show cost?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

+Cameron Lonergan I'll just give you a ballpark, more than $500, less than $1000.

[@blackcatBOOM16]

Cant go wrong with fireworks shot in multiple stations! very nice setup Joel!!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

That's the way to go! Thank you!

[@fhritpguy2799]

I did a whole show of cakes but for the finale finally we used a 3 inch tube on a 3.5 pound motar, but you amazing setup! love it!

Happy 4th Joel

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Happy 4th to you as well!

[@robertp4564]

Nice set up and a nice shoot site.

[@robertdementdement1615]

wow what a awsome show

[@SargentH12121]

First off, happy 4th! I always look forward to watching your stash, setup, and show videos! I love that you can do so much and make such great shows using only consumer fireworks! It makes me want to do the same thing! Sadly, I live in Pennsylvania, where I can only get fountains (legally, at least). Have you considered getting an ATF license so that you can use professional products?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you! If you get your ATF license, it will open up a lot of possibilities for you in PA. I've been working on this already actually. There are a lot of other restrictions where I currently live as well.

[@dannyvargas7435]

Nice setup bro I wish I could get fireworks like u

[@mdubs54]

Any tips for beginners as far as firing systems are concerned? We've gotten pretty good at staging correctly and timing by hand but its a little sketchy sometimes as well as the high chance of mis-timing. Any info on where to start and get the hang of it would be highly appreciated. Fantastic setup and keep up the great content!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I have a bias opinion on this matter, so please take that into consideration. In my opinion, save up for a Cobra. It might be pricey to start, but it will enable you to do so much more in the future! Other options would include the cheaper import systems that you can find on Quantum Fire. These are the kind of systems I personally started using. You could also look into making a nail board or other homemade way of firing your show without dropping a bunch of money on the equipment.

[@cgphillips8556]

What A setup video!!!! :0 Great setup

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you!

[@homerjrules]

Hey Joel, you ever make it back to the Superstore in Hannibal, Mo? If you do ask for the Silent Night salute rockets. They have to keep them in back. They are crazy loud! $39.99 for 6. Well worth it!

[@Twiistedpyro]

Great looking setup man!!!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you!

[@Twiistedpyro]

+Joel Robinson thank you!!!

[@Twiistedpyro]

And did you get my stash entry... I'm mrfirecracker01

[@seannannenga2083]

Check out Attitude Adjustment from Phantom. Really expensive but it is soooo loud when you mix with da bomb (also from Phantom) I know you had an iffy experience with Phantom but in NW Indiana it's all we have that I trust. You're the man keep it up!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I'll keep that in mind! It's not that I had a bad experience per say, I just can't get over the prices!

[@VisualVariant]

Lol I had to double take at your wedding ring, I watched your vids a while back. Grats on finding a woman good enough to be called wife.

[@scottyrocketsiialternative7878]

That had to take a long time to set up wow!

[@LilOutdoorsmangoogleplus]

Why aren't you using any Excalibur's or shells this year?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

[@joaojose9331]

opa

[@trevorkutche1224]

nice setup! what state do you live in that you can buy all those fireworks at a store?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Check out the 2016 shopping trip video for more info on the store we purchased most of these fireworks. There are many states that have stores where you can buy fireworks though

[@BloxxCartoons]

Have you ever used the War Hero 500 gram cake by brothers? Highly recommend you try it.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I have not, I'll have to remember that. Thanks!

[@BloxxCartoons]

+Joel Robinson Got one this 4th, and way exceeded my expectations lol.

[@pyroboomman1236]

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thank you!

[@lucky52313]

Hey Joel where the video of u setting them off

[@jakesheldon2191]

Did you already make the show video or when will you do that?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I posted it last night!

[@jakesheldon2191]

+Joel Robinson yep thank you I watched it already. It was really good :)

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@rank9262]

hey joel, i have a question for you. using the firewire ignitiators, did you have many/any misfires? i want to try those out for next year's show but I'm hesitant. I used 75 talons in this year's show and only 1 failure. also, do you use a brass awl and put the firewore directly into powder on each cake ahead of time or what? im trying to do everything i can next year to not spend 12 hours out in the field setting up...

[@rank9262]

also, I'll have parts of my show (the recording of the full show failed sadly) uploaded soon, and would love some feedback if you get a moment. bear in mind, this was our first year to do it electronically, and we had 2 modules with a ton of scab wiring, and a manual remote.. it was tough but rewarding. We even got some drone footage this year I'm looking forward to seeing! :)

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

The first version of the firewires were the ones that had issues. You might have seen those in Displayfireworks1's video. That was a very early beta run if you will. They have since been improved. I have tested many of them with absolutely no issues. We had 88 cues in this show and 100% firing success! The only thing to keep in mind, is with Cobra you cannot use as many in parallel or series since they have a higher resistance than ematch. I would recommend picking up some lollypokes (Brass awl). I never show us attaching them in videos since some people criticize the best way to do this. If you want to shoot me an email, we can discuss it further! Also, please send me a link to the video whenever it's uploaded!

[@rank9262]

+Joel Robinson thanks for the swift reply! I do have a brass awl and used it this year. I'll shoot you an email to talk about it further, as I understand what you're getting at regarding not showing that part. i actually have a video of exactly how I do it, and was thinking about posting that soon too, because im a glutton for punishment. lol. by the way, nice setup vid. can't wait to see the show, dude!

[@joedirt9468]

When is the 2016 our stash video gonna be up

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

As soon as I go through the many many submissions! Shooting for the next few days. I'm still taking submissions through today

[@joedirt9468]

+Joel Robinson ok thanks will it be uploaded tomorrow

[@pyroschmit1287]

+Joe Dirt probably not, he has alot of stuff to do. Might not get it done till tomorrow

[@pyroschmit1287]

+Pyro Schmit *end of the week

[@joedirt9468]

+Pyro Schmit ok just thought I'd ask but thanks for replying

[@TheSheepDogPatriot1776]

[@dotsonkyle60]

When you gonna put the show video up?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

It's now up!

[@jamesbarry2593]

Hope you dont mind me asking but how much for a show like this ?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I normally do not give out the price, but I will say it was less than $1000, more than $500

[@letssmilemorefuhry7400]

Do you get payed for putting on shows??

[@connorslump8492]

When is the show going to be uploaded ? :D

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Hoping tomorrow! I had three cameras recording it, so I need to look through it all and pick the best one! Plus, still trying to get through stash submissions to have that video up by end of week!

[@xxrobertxxstuntsandvlogs313]

Joel I live up to your job

[@chad-_-8766]

when will u upload them going off?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Oh, of course!

[@neryalvarado6161]

Dope

[@PyroGonz]

How long does it take to setup a show?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

With the two of us, it took about 6 to 7 hours.

[@tonycookievlogs1427]

+Joel Robinson hello from California, Reedley keep up the hard work and where u from

[@tonycookievlogs1427]

+Joel Robinson and I been a sub for 5 years and 6 months

[@tonyhernandez9027]

Awww man, no fireworks shopping video!!! :(

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I posted one a few days ago?

[@timhymer]

Hey Joel....What camera did you use for the time lapse? How long was the recording and did you have it hooked up to a power source?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Tim Hymer For the time lapse I was just using a GoPro hero 4 and it was recording for probably half hour during the lapse I showed. It can run for a few hours though and there are other time lapse settings available. I just recorded normally and sped it up while editing.

[@timhymer]

Thanks Joel. I was thinking of doing a time lapse for my setup this year and I'm totally green with this setting. I have a Gopro 3 Black but, I figured my setup time would out last the battery life.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Tim Hymer I believe they have longer lasting batteries you can buy. I actually have 3 total batteries so I could just switch them out every so often when we take breaks etc.

[@timhymer]

That's probably the route I go. Buy another battery. Thanks Joel!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Tim Hymer No problem! I hope it works out well!

[@reedhill5233]

Why aren't you using mortar racks

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I didn't have them

[@pamnegron1]

Where is the video of the show?

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

It's now posted

[@ayushnand5617]

Why are doing all the expensive fire works?

[@Lord_James]

It's a show so small fireworks wolud not work

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I'm not sure what you're asking? Are you saying the fireworks we are using are expensive?

[@Lord_James]

+Joel Robinson I love your channel!!

[@carter4356]

how did you get the sheet with the channels

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

I scripted the show in COBRA Show Creator. Using the program you can print cue labels.

[@carter4356]

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

This video is clearly labeled as a setup video. Many of my subscribers are here to see this kind of video. If you don't like this kind of video, go watch something else.

[@bretetzler253]

5th

[@antonioalire1855]

9th

[@markforbes5745]

Who else just lights them one by one?

[@silverwarrior461]

Me.

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Probably 90% of people that shoot fireworks off around the 4th lol

[@dj_hotwater1006]

People who don’t have a lot of money to blow. Literally

[@tonyhernandez9027]

Oh yea, sorry, I forgot about it >_

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

:)

[@hassanrasmy7271]

lol

[@nuclearthreat545]

all this guy does is tie together consumer fireworks like wtf any one can do this

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Yeah.. that's kinda the point. I post videos like this to show my setup, so people can learn to do this themselves.
