OK, I finally have a video of my 4th of July fireworks on Youtube. Looking for any suggestions, critiques, comments. Just looking (like every one here) to make next years show better. Thanks.

The only thing i see wrong is something you couldnt control lol needed some wind to move out the smoke that was covering the effects lol Looked a lot better than mine

Yeah the air was pretty still. It was supposed to last for 17 min, but I got a little happy pushing buttons. This was my first time with a Cobra firing system.

i'm just trying to find as many pics as possible to see how everyone is running the electronic firing. everyone's got their own style, and it's great to learn from.

At Pyrodan,
Wow you had that platform loaded up nice. I'm trying to look at that wire, is that wire blue? The non regulated initiators?

Yes they are the Firewire initiators. I was very happy with them. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to fire electrically who does not have their 54 yet. Lol, I just ordered your type 54 dvd a couple of weeks ago. There are already plans for a second dock !

Besides having an overwhelming desire to jump through my computer screen with a chainsaw to cut down that &*^# tree obstructing the view.... I didn't see anything that needed fixing! Looked like an awesome show! Great job.

Crab170; That is 2 Megawatt 250's fired at the same time. One in front of the other, but the second one flipped around so the shots move towards each other for that cone effect. As I am still a "pyro peasant" and limited to 1.4, you have to use your imagination and get a little creative some times.

Rick in Tampa; Thank you very much! And yes the tree sucked. May have to move the audience next year. We might move the dock to the middle of the pond. Or video from a different spot.

Nothing a little home made C4 can't fix!! For the tree I mean... Not the audience... :rolleyes:

Well it is my best friends property, and he likes his trees. Maybe a little trimming.......
