A drone equipped with a GoPro camera ventures into the middle of an explosion of colourful fireworks at West Palm Beach, Florida. Mesmerizingly beautiful!



Oregon during July 4th celebrations, while the other is from earlier this year in West Palm Beach, Florida. Both were shot using a DJi Phantom, a line of popular consumer quadrocopters used by videographers.

With the right colored heat shrink tubing, wouldn't they be quick and easy to make OD?

perhaps, but i can't even find the uncovered ones down here. i'd actually be ok with even those if i must, and i'd just coat them in electrical tape to insulate them.
