Hi,

Im a firer for a pro pyro company and i have been making their promotional video for them. I am a proper video production person with broadcast equipment, so i took it all with me on yesterdays show.

This is a rather interesting shot i thought I would share

Here it is

Let me know what you think.

When you say water pipe, you don't mean PVC do you?
I'd like to see the full video when it's done.

I suspect that the pipe used for the video may not be the actual mortar used to fire the mines, and was just chosen to make the shot easier. Therefore it wouldn't really matter what material it was.

The pipe is four inch water pipe, but obviously thats not the tube we fired the mine in. Using an actual mine tube would mean having to cut the bottom off it which want an option.

Someone took a pic of the tube cam gear:

Hey guys. I placed a video camera a few cm away on the field next to a 210mm mortar facing upwards...
I wanted to see how a 210mm shell leaving the mortar looks like.

I did this during a commercial show.


Here ist the video!

I especially like the deep *thump* hehe! I was NOT near the cam or the mortar but a few 100m away.

What would be interesting would be to have a really thick polycarbonate plug in the bottom so you could watch the shell leave

You´re right, that´s the attempt of the post above mine... But you know what?! I think doing this pulls
alot of money for equipement and so on and yields NOTHING.

I mean, the lift charge will blacken the protection glass immediately and all you got to see is
a intense flash followed by nothing... I really don´t know why or how people want to try that.
