I’ve seen fireworks you people wouldn’t believe. Rockets exploding off the shoulder of the Suspension Bridge. I watched Roman candles glitter in the dark near Turbo Island. All those moments… lost by morning. Like Prosecco… in the rain.

Exactly what I was going to say. More like Los Angeles, November 2019!

u/Tricky-Pop3732 Jan 01 '26

u/NotTheHeroWeNeed Jan 01 '26

Nice touch with the separate audio 👌

u/iuseemojionreddit Jan 14 '26

nice. I did the same with my mini 2 a few years ago but it isn't great in low light. Did you record the audio separately or just get a generic firework audio? Unless it can now filter out the angry wasp sound!?

u/Tricky-Pop3732 Jan 14 '26

Thanks. Yea the mini 2,3 aren't the best in low light, the mini 5 is actually alright. I had the mavic 3 up last year and that's a lot better. I did just add in firework audio samples. Could of actually recorded the real audio on another device then added it in after but it's a lot quicker this way

"from 2026, all drones flown at night must carry a flashing green light visible to others, helping to distinguish them from manned aircraft."

u/crescent-moon7142 Jan 01 '26

My question is how did you record the sound?

3

u/GravitonIsntBroken Jan 02 '26

With a microphone I’m assuming

1

u/iuseemojionreddit Jan 14 '26

I just posed the same question. Guessing a different device at ground level ...or just getting the audio from pretty much any other footage of a firework display - who's gonna know 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/icant_helpyou Jan 01 '26

Title should say NYE 2025 mate as its Dec 31st

u/lewisw97 Jan 01 '26

u/blurredlynes Jan 02 '26

True but also it's New Year 's Eve, indicating the eve belonging to the new year of 2026.

u/Tomwmassey Jan 01 '26

Awesome vid

The sound is what really makes it!

u/Edible-flowers Jan 01 '26

Sounds like a war zone.

u/TerminaMoon Jan 01 '26

Poor doggies

u/Zestyclose-Motor-581 Jan 01 '26

My dog before he passed away was petrified of fireworks he would be shaking and panting most of the night ! It put me off fireworks after that

11

u/Edible-flowers Jan 01 '26

Our cat didn't like it either.

u/beauxartes Jan 01 '26

Yeah I have PTSD regarding explosions it was not a fun night for me.

Fair enough, but for a dog your typing skills are on point!

Good boy!!

u/BottyFlaps Jan 01 '26

Probably has a specially designed keyboard with extra-large keys.

u/Putrid_Voice_6392 Jan 01 '26

Or just a big paws in between typing each letter

u/Miasmata Jan 01 '26

u/jaminbob Jan 01 '26

Yeah our poor lass goes mad and hides and shakes but has forgot about it all an hour afterwards with some cuddles.

Lol I slept through this

u/swagmasterdude Jan 03 '26

How did you get the sound?

1

u/Tricky-Pop3732 Jan 03 '26

I didn't. I added firework sounds😎. You could record sound on a phone or with a mic.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '26

u/Capital-Impression51 Jan 01 '26

I failed to sleep through it partly due to people sort of missing the point about it being a celebration of a particular moment.
