General Kiting

Check out Chris Henderson's work. Don't have the link to any of his photos on hand but this is one to an interview he did about it:
http://www.mawsons-huts.org.au/cms/2010/01/qa-with-dr-chris-henderson-kite-aerial-photography/.
He's built a stereoscopic rig and a remote controlled single camera rig for photography down in Antarctica.

Christies Beach Sailing Club....

Travelling kite - no spars...

Very cool Mick

Nice Photos Mick

Have you got any photos of your camera rig?

Do you have to manually adjust where the camera is pointing or have you got it set up with remote pan and tilt?

Its a very simple rig - no remote, one orientation at a time.

It would be even simpler if the tripod mount was central.

Milang and Adelaide on the weekend...

Love that jetty shot

Some bloody good shots for such a simple rig.

KAP compilation from Beachport, SA, on the weekend...

Mick,

Can I offer a suggestion, with several pics on this thread exceeding 3 Mbytes each, it just takes ages for the page to load, so some compression would be nice, ie rescale to some where near 1024 pixels rather than what I'm guessing the 4000 odd that the cam outputs. . Most of the time if the page takes too long to update I just give up and look at another thread.

Either way, nice pics.

Regards,
Norman.

Personally I like the full-res pics, but I do agree with Norman.

Perhaps 1024 'previews' on the page with a link to a photo bucket album (or similar) at the bottom would work

Hobbyking order placed - awaiting order to arrive and see what happens from there! Am thinkn of making up a sealed waterproof acryllic housing if its a cheap entry into KAP,then cool.

Ultimately tho,of course GoPro Hero2 is where its at though. But for 40 bucks AU I doubt I can complain when its that cheapa quality.

HD Wing Cam and Turnigy KeyChain recieved the other day, and picked up a clear Overboard phone case so we'll see if we get some wind tomorrow

Hi Rickbeam

What lifting kite are you using?

I have trouble getting kitesurfing shots because my kites get unstable over 20 knots.
