Watch What Happens If You Fly A Drone Through An Explosion Of Fireworks In The Night Sky

Everybody loves firework displays. They are beautiful and enjoyable to look at. However, they look even more amazing when you are right in the center of the fireworks. During a fireworks display at the closing ceremonies of the Sunfest Music Festival in West Palm Beach, Florida last May, videographer Jos Stiglingh came up with an idea. That is to fly a drone equipped with a video camera right into the middle of the fireworks. The footage he caught was nothing short of amazing.

Stiglingh mounted a GoPro Hero 3 Silver on a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter drone. He then remote controlled it to fly over and into the fireworks. Here are a few screengrabs of the footage that the drone took. Watch the full video below.



Watch the beautiful display of fireworks as the drone flies near, above and through them. Just amazing.

GoPro-Wearing Cyclist Gets Robbed At Gunpoint. Luckily The Robbers Didn't Know What A GoPro Is.


Notice to robbers who prey on cyclists: Before you rob one, make sure you know what a GoPro is and what it does. Malcolm Fox, with a GoPro camera strapped to his safety helmet, was cycling through a wooded area in Somerset West, South Africa when a man waving a handgun came out of nowhere and ordered him off his bike.

The first man was then joined by two other men. They took Fox's cellphone, car keys, Oakley sunglasses, and bike. They then let go of Fox and told him to go through the opposite direction. And then they escaped.

Luckily for Fox, the robbers didn't seem to know what a GoPro is. One of the robbers appeared to stare at the camera for a moment but then didn't think much about it. They let Fox go without taking the contraption attached to his helmet.

The footage of the robbery was given to the police which led to the arrest of the three suspects. The items they stole were recovered and given back to Fox.

A GoPro is a wearable video camera which is popular among outdoor enthusiasts like cyclists and mountain climbers. It's an effective device for recording action without you having to hold the camera in your hands.
