CDC-9898 has some nice hang time (go to 3:20 if it does not start you there)

Nice can't wait to check it out. Will this be a 1.3 or 1.4 show?

Thanks guys glad the video was helpful!
Next time I will try to use Manual focus to make sure everything stays in focus, I was just worried this time that if I did the manual focus wrong then the whole video would be out of focus. I need to learn to use my camera better, but at least most of it came out well.

There is a big echo as you can hear which really amplifies the sound. It's a wide open field, around 300 feet in every direction to the closest building.

Amazing show! Great song selection and emotion, I teared up a little. Timing with the comets and mines was on point. Finale was awesome as well.

Here is a video of all the new mystical cakes. These cakes were a big hit and everyone loved them. The new CDC Competition cakes are especially nice as they go very high and have nice loud breaks. Master Blaster was also one of the crowd favorites as well as CDC-9898.
Thanks again to Mystical for providing these new cakes for us to check out and to Pyro Boss for arranging it!
Edit: I forgot to add, turn on annotations to see which cakes are which, also here is the firing order in case you can't see the annotations: Royal Brocade (not new but wanted to make sure I had the camera pointing in the right direction) Mines Mini Menace CDC-9797 Night Magic Master Blaster Attitude Adjustment CDC-9898 Red Alert CDC-9999 CDC-9696 Fanatic Triumph Vendetta

I am not sure, but would imagine that a 2" display shell will have a lot more composition than a 2" consumer shell. The only limitation I see is that reports cannot have over 85 g of flash composition. You can read more about the specifications for display shells here: www.nrcan.gc.ca/explosives/publications/guidelines/9945#AD11To post a picture be sure to hit the reply button instead of using the quick reply, then you can add an attachment, or upload your image to an image sharing site like imgur and use the insert image button. Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks for the report. Are you able to leave it in the box and access all fuses or do you have to unpack it from the box that holds all the motors together? Regarding the 50mm, that is the max for a consumer mortor/shell in Canada. the 1.75" is for reloadables in the USA. however even though we can have a 50mm shell the amount of pyrotechnic composition allowed is only 25g, where I think its 60g in USA. The rule is specifically for shells that are part of a single shot tube. I think in the USA they can have single shot tubes that are even bigger than 1.75" Some more info here: www.nrcan.gc.ca/explosives/publications/guidelines/9945#AB2411.0 Shot Tubes 11.1 Construction Inside diameter: no more than 50 mm (C) 4.0 Shells (These are allowed only as a component of a shot tube.) 4.1 Construction Outside diameter: no more than 50 mm (C) / No more than 1 shell/tube

Welcome to the forum. Maybe try to get the word out to the people in your town, as the ones that get to enjoy the show would be the most likely to donate. You could also look for a company to sponsor the show. Good luck!

I have what you posted in the first picture (minus the external battery)
The software is not really intuitive and there is not much documentation. It does do what its supposed to do though. You can even load music into it and set your queues to the music, but there is no lift time delay though so you would have to workout the lift time of shells and calculate that in yourself. The demo mode is not really that useful, it basically shows an image with random fireworks going off at the times you set your queues.
You don't need that second remote to fire to music but I believe it would help. I think with that remote you hook your sound system into it and it starts the script from the remote at the same time the music starts. You could play the music and start the script manually if you wanted but it may be harder to get them both started at the same time.
I did not really do a ton of research on it, but I did see they were active on pyrouniverse and it was not a one off firing system from some random company. It was hard to find out much as not many other people were posting about it so I just bought it as the price was much cheaper than a cobra and I though the software may be a little better or be improved. Unfortunately it seems they have moved on to their new system and there will not be much else done with this one. I did reach out to them on pyrouniverse about some improvements they could make and they responded about new stuff coming, but I think they were just referring to the new system they came out with.
What I have used it for mostly is step firing which works well. I also used the programming function do my finale with a few items going off with a few seconds delay and that worked well. What I did was use step fire at the beginning then fire the finale with the step fire.

I have a MB32Q from rfremotech which has some programming featues. It's a pretty nice system for the cost, but the software is bad. If you want to get one the cheapest way is probably ebay. They had a sale on their new system recently but I think its over now. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I like how on this cake the screamers go off and distract you from the breaks about to go off
