Kite Aerial Photography - How I KAP

by Kraft R. Schmidt, Herscheid, Germany back


How do I take my aerial pictures?

As you can see below I use a 'HKA' (human kite anchor). The HKA is flexible, movable and has buildin intelligence, which is quite helpful while KAPing. Until now the HKA has always been me. Guess why? I intend to use a remote controlled HKA, but I am still searching - for volunteers!
I use my rig fixed on a FLS (ferry-line-system) to vary rig-altitude and to recover and maintain rig and camera without landing my kites.

May the wind blow for you!
