This is the first picture I took using a kite to lift my camera. The kite is a 7m^2 Parasled. The camera was a Canon T90 attached to the kiteline in a rather simple
cradle (manual tilt and rotation) with modified walky-talkies to operate the shutter.
The picture shows the house we rented on Fanoe with Bernhard, Lisa, Emiel, Martin, Harry and me starring
up in order not to miss the moment when the camera seperates from the lifting device (fortunately, she
didn't do that).
I was quite satisfied with the first picture and took some more on the beach of Fanoe (will publish them
sooner or later) and I currently plan to build a better cradle with 2-axis remote control, a picavet
system and all the other sexy features.
