I buy these fireworks, let them off and observe what they do effects wise and video, then watch the clips again on DVD, just to be certain in my mind, and write my initial findings and impressions of them, does that satisfy your answer?

I'm confused then - because from reading your previous posts (see above) you state you already have recorded them and compiled DVD's???

Like I said, if you aint personaly shot it... dont review it

Someone mentioned an interest in some Cat4 reviews.. I am sure when all the Cat4 boy's have recovered from "Silly Season" we can do some reviews on some of the cakes and candles. I have have some really nice items this year that I am sure some of the people will be interested to hear about and may even like the idea of trying them as a project... not that I am siggesting anything

We had what was effectively a 12" maroon at one of the shows recently! A 12" silver brocade crown turned evil!

Will have to send you the vid mate

sounds like a Vid I wouldn't mind seeing as well Rich

(and yes - still reeling after silly season - busiest season so far AND opening a retail outlet at the same time makes for a busy boy!)

Got a realy nice cake.. used this at various displays and it is brilliant.It is the 130 shot Brocade Waterfall Mine Cake. Talk about a gold curtain and it is very wide. Long hang time as with most gold effects and works very well even behind a tree line as it shows not only above the trees but can be seen clearly through the folidge.
tech spec :- 30mm, 130 shot (10 banks of 13) fan cake
From personal experience, when hand firing this cake and looking at it from less than 3 metres you get the impression it has fired but no effect untill you look up as the first couple of metres above the cake are transparent... had me worried for a minute..lol

People who saw Trafalgar 200 would have seen these fired from the 3 barges.

Another favourite Cat4 cake is the 100 shot Rainbow Z fan cake - seen at last UKRA event. Nearly all pyro nuts present commented on this cake due to the brilliant colours, pinks, light blue, green etc.

Both these cake are roughly 20 seconds duration and Cat4.
