WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (KRON) — One of the biggest debates every Fourth of July is what’s the best place to sit to view the fireworrks. Photographer Jos Stiglingh may have found the definitive answer. Stinglingh strapped a Go Pro camera to a quad-copter drone and then flew it inside the fireworks explosions at a display in West Palm Beach Florida back in May. Neither the camera nor the drone was damaged. Enjoy along with the music.

Beautiful, but I don’t think an old B-17 pilot would like it.

Easily $2500 with the high-quality gimbal and first-person-view (FPV) operator goggles and electronics. Could spend a lot more.

Under $800. Give it a few years and they’ll be selling them at Walgreens.
