On New Years Eve I decided to fly my Mavic 2 Zoom up to capture video of fireworks, however, the evening almost ended in disaster when a stray flying ground bloom almost collided with my Mavic 2! Thankfully it was just a near miss, which you can see 12 seconds in. After that I put a lot more distance between the drone and any skyward shooting explosives!

That is super! Almost shot down by "friendly fire" Curios to know your settings, and how much was needed in post.

I was shooting in 2.7k at 60fps, 400 ISO with my shutter speed at 1/60. I did some basic color and light editing in Premier, but most of the processing work involved getting the slow motion right and cutting out large quantity of empty pitch black footage!
