Aerial photos of fireworks

[aenbacka]

Anyone has experience with using the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced for aerial photos of fireworks? Now with New Year just around the corner, would be of interest.

If it's a large display you can just have it set on auto and get as good results as anything.
Mostly results are better than you'd think.
If it's just a few from your own backyard you might struggle.
If not very familiar with the area be wary of cables etc when taking off and landing in the dark.

I took these on the 4th of July at our local show...I left the RED LED's on by mistake but all settings were default. I think I got lucky.

I took video of our local fireworks in July 2015. But what are we going to do now that the FAA regulations specifically forbid flying after dark?

No more fireworks shots or maybe just don't get caught

Technically, if you follow these guidelines, you should be fine.

Good point! I think line of sight sometimes gets confused with no night flying. The FAA from what I can tell has not made this a "rule".

Yes, please quote your source that regulations specifically forbid this. The FAA site still calls these "guidelines", and they don't even mention after dark use: Model Aircraft Operations
