Celebrity Watch What Happens When a Drone Flies into Fireworks The drone goes inside the explosions, and it's pretty awesome By K.c.

One intrepid videographer documented a fireworks display with a GoPro camera strapped to a DJI Phantom 2 drone. The video has been viewed on YouTube almost 2.4 million times. While the cameraman pointed out that the gear wasn’t damaged, it could have been a costly experiment if one of the fireworks had scored a direct hit. The drone costs about $1,300 and the camera is about $300, but the result is priceless.
