This is going to be a hot little rig in a year or two's time when all the initial bugs are eliminated !

Kites......as a "sky hook"

 I use a Delta Sled single line kite that was initially put into service as a "sky hook" for supporting various antennas and soon discovered that it makes a very good platform for aerial photography !

My  'GoPro HD' camera hanging in a diy 'Picavet' which keeps the camera horizontal and very stable.

These two pics ( a residential building site and the Koeberg Conference and Sports Centre) were taken with the above rig hanging approximately 60m above them.
