You need to watch it full screen to see what I mean.

Throughout the piece the camera stays pretty steady, so I'd guess the drone was the sort that has a stabilized camera mount. If that's the case, then the camera wouldn't tilt just because the drone does. For those few seconds, it looks like the drone titled forward enough that parts of it came into the camera's field of vision.

The YouTube page says it was filmed with a DJI Phantom 2 and filming it with a GoPro Hero 3 silver. The arrangement probably looked something like this one:

when the music is not about America putting a boot in someones ass.

I wonder what the people actually viewing the show had to endure, Proud To Be An American?

This is beautiful so much more so without the typical 4th BS on top of the show.

Thanks for this. We watch all the large shows from our tower at home or from a friends hill at their home so we don't have to deal with the junk that goes with this.

This was beautiful!!

But this guy would have been singin' the blues if one of those rockets had accidentally shot down his drone. But I guess no risk, no reward, Right?

Looks like a near miss at 2:27...
