Why You Need To Be Recording Your Blasts

Capturing blasts on video provides drillers, blasters and their crews valuable information on the shot performance. When analyzed we can see exactly how the rock moved, displacement, excess energy being released, ejections, and ideally a muck-pile achieving the desired fragmentation.
