   What an incredible set of photographs. I tried to do something similar with a kite mounted camera with no success as a kite is a delicatly balanced creature and the weight of the camera (The smallest I could find) was just too much!

   elsie: it is quite common to attach video cameras to kiteboarding kites, but even on much smaller ones can support a camera. Usually you attach it to one of the lines, preferably a centered line on smaller kites. But attachment directly to the kite is possible as well.

   insert music "magic carpet ride".

   I want this a) in higher frame rate b) optical image stabilization.
   c) in stereo or 360 (see siggraph expo for all the mobile panoramas)

   Surely you have a rocket big enough for all that?

    heh, heh, thanks… Troy: there are some new ones I just posted which give some new perspectives. Cost & weight…. I have a rocket on order that may offer an improvement, hopefully on frame rate. Hey… you don’t know the frame rate from a still image frame!

    I am going to try for my Level 1 Cert this weekend in the Black Rock desert… RockSim says I should break Mach2 with a J570 engine…. On the other hand, the Binder Design THUG rocket is a stubby one, and may become a "landshark" as they call them on the playa 😉
