4th of July 2016 Fireworks Setup 

That's the way to go! Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate the comment

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

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

Thank you! Cheers!

I hope it lives up to the expectation! :)

I don't have my racks right meow

+Joel Robinson right meow? haha what the fuck?..

+RecklessSk8R Ah man, you're missing out. Go watch Super Troops now

+Joel Robinson Don't you mean go watch super Troops Meow? Btw I subscribed :)

+RecklessSk8R lol

Thanks man!

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.

Just posted last night!

is this a business for you??

+laetrille Nope! We just love fireworks!

Joel Robinson Me too!

You are in the right place then!

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!

I posted the shopping trip of the experience! Stateline Fireworks in NH

Happy 4th to you as well!

Oh yea and did you see my firework stash submission

I'm still going through them! I respond to each one, so you will know when I check them. Shooting to have that video done by the end of the week

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.

It is now posted!

Thank you!

+Joel Robinson thank you!!!

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

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

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

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

I posted it last night!

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

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you Ed!

Im stealing the effect at 3:40 lol

Do it! It looked awesome haha

Thank you!

Thank you!

opa

It's now up!

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

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

+Joel Robinson ok thanks will it be uploaded tomorrow

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

+Pyro Schmit *end of the week

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

It's now posted

I didn't have them

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!

Oh, of course!

I posted one a few days ago?

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! :)

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!

+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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

thank you

It almost rained but then sun came out, woo

It was a perfect weekend for fireworks here! Sunny, 70s to mid 80s with low humidity. Couldn't ask for better weather!

Lies!

I just posted it last night

It's a show so small fireworks wolud not work

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

+Joel Robinson I love your channel!!

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

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

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

Me.

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

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

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.

:)

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