Can you post a link ? Kimbolton don't make the little consumer ones, i didn't say nor think they did, i believe they make the cat4 version at their UK factory thou. So to clarify, that one don't look like the ones Kimbolton have made in China and then import. 

 

I set off a few from Kimbolton firework night and they certainly had little coloured jelly bean stars popping out from them but IIRC no crackle. I was wondering how the shogun version compared.

It's better in real life, not spectacular but great for little kids, the video doesn't do it justice at all, it's actually only a garden firework so i'm not sure why they're setting it off that far away. However i was asking for a video of the shogun one like the one the chap on the video was dismantling, would be interesting to do a compare and contrast, the one in the video looked very loosely packed for a fountain.

Very similar to the Kimbolton one really, still no crackle thou. In real life the jelly bean colours are good.

This shows the colours better; note the low smoke:-

That's more like it, do you have a video of the 3" cat4 version ?

Do you mean the Kimbolton 75mm gerb, which is colour chip and crackle?

Yeah sounds like the one.

The base of the gerb is 2.3 metres from the ground.

Seemed higher in real life.
