We'll see how it works. These are sold as "single use" camcorders but my son tweaked it so that it can be used again and again with the images downloaded to the computer via USB cable. It'll hold about 17 minutes of video.  Kite-Cam!  DSCF0008-small.JPG  bamboo Since 24 Jun 2005 165 Posts da 'chung; taiwan Stoked Wed Aug 30, 06 5:38 pm     be sure to post the results. i'm anxious to see that perspective. blowhard Since 26 Dec 2005 2025 Posts Windward Thu Aug 31, 06 6:31 am    spycam I hope I don't get MAL DE MAR(seasick).from wacthing it REGISTERD came up with the ME CAM idea it follows you around, perfect for us showoffs jeffreyc Since 23 Aug 2006 43 Posts   Thu Aug 31, 06 7:43 am     Will your son share the cam tweek?

The smoothest kite cam I've seen is hosted on KiteCinema.com. I'm not sure what exactly their setup is like, but it's super smooth, as apose to some that I see... Mocean Since 21 Sep 2005 343 Posts Newport Obsessed Fri Sep 01, 06 8:57 pm     For 30 bucks, I'm not expecting too much from mine, but it'll be fun to see the perspective. The wind hasn't been cooperating for the cam yet - yesterday it was nuking so I was using my little kite, and today it turned NE and wasn't filled in on the beach. But...if anything good comes out of it, I'll be sure to post. High of 88 in Newport today!
