Simply bc the article doesn't add anything of substance that the YouTube video description doesn't, here is the direct link to the creators YouTube link:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9KZ3jgbbmI&feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9KZ3jgbbmI&feature=youtu.be</a>
Stunning, also good this was filmed over water. I'd hate to think what would happen if a firework took out the drone and it hit a person. From that height it would likely do some serious damage.<p>I'm all for commercial drones, I just hope those using them do a proper risk assessment, take steps to prevent injury to people or property and have applicable insurance.
There were four quadcopters at the show in Westlake Village, CA last night (well, 4 at one point, I only saw 2 return). I'm pretty sure they were all DJI Phantoms based on the LED placement. They were not invisible. I wouldn't say they were a nuisance, but that's probably just because I was more curious about them than annoyed. Maybe in a few years when the novelty has warn off they will be more annoying. I don't know if they were flown by locals, by the host, or by the fireworks company. I was a bit concerned that the operators flew right over the crowd at the end which seemed unsafe and unnecessary.
Well I think soon in every firework show we will see 50 of those flying around and disturbing the view...
Its like people that take Ipads to concerts - screw all the people behind me, at least I will have a great recording!
Beautiful!<p>It's like a remake of the "skyrocket" Linux screensaver for a nice gpu.
