Seriously, what's the carbon footprint of 500 or so drones flying in unison... Still less than an average fireworks show, for sure.  Those might go the way of the dodo, especially here in Quebec where we had to cancel some fireworks displays due to there already being too much smoke in the air with all the wildfires.

 

Edit: wait. It looks like they've sped up the film speed. A lot.  How slow moving are these in real time?

Yeah it's pretty slow. In this one, you can see other drones whizzing by.

When heading for a tree they get supersonic, when you want 2return to base" some calculations having to be made involving; slowest speed, run out of power, and finally, best place for unscheduled landing.

Just go to the settings menu and see if you have 'Tree-kamikaze' mode enabled and toggle that off.

Awesome! Way more possibilities than a firework display will ever have and NO FUCKING NOISE so pets can sleep in piece. This hopefully is the future!

Certainly better since the puppers will be able to enjoy it too. But that many whirring drones? It may sound like a swarm of bees or something.
