Surprisingly, mounting the camera ON the fireworks seemed to go okay.

question: are fireworks always spinning when they go up like that? or is that just because of the weight of the camera off balancing them? 
rusty t rombone is pretty sure that violates the Geneva Convention

How the camera was mounted

I think balancing the firework by adding weight evenly and adding fins could possibly reduce the spinning.

actually, I believe...by reducing the drag on the third osciollator valve,
he could greatly increase the negative thrust, normally described as carthiogenic apathy resistance. Whatever. I read a lot of text.

Carthiogenic is like cardiogenic, but it's really when there is failure of the McCartricles of the heart. So named after Joseph McCarthy and his well known McCartricle failure...and hepatitis.

Huh. I didn't realize there was a racial thing here. I'm white and I definitely like fireworks, just grew up with it I guess. Is this not a universal love?

What about Black people? Do you guys like fireworks?

You can use one of the 808 key-chain tiny cameras. If you want HD, use the #11.

Cost? About 30 USD.

There were webpages warning that there are sellers taking the older, non-HD versions and reflashing them with software-upscaling of the low-res imager to HD resolutions, fake HD.

From what I can tell, the $40 ones claiming to be #11's are real #11's.

There was a #12, but the user reviews are mixed- video's a bit better in some circumstances, worse in others, sound is bad, and it's REALLY prone to skipping frames.

I read that entire massive 808 camera page the other day
and I can't believe how excited I am about it
and how cool it all seems.

I love when awesome stuff like this
arises tangentially from an otherwise inconsequential bit of entertainment. 
When the time comes, it'll happen about this fast.
