ok.... this was try #1... not much kiting in the vid because I found out that mounting the camera up by the kite on the front line = shaky video, sketchy kiting, and the kiter is too far away. Try #2, I'm going to move the camera down by the depower strap.

until then, enjoy... (ps...song has explicit lyrics)

Cool vid - try putting the camera about 1/4 down the center strut, should be less jitter. Here's a kite cam vid I did last year:

here's the cam
http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/546970039.htm

I bought a 1GB SD card. I can hold a little over an hour of 600x800 vid.

it's "splash proof". I found a kids science experiment that came in this test tube like thing. I did a few mods to the test tube and sealed it up good. It stayed dry, but phil didn't crash the kite.

I've used the same cam when I was hydrofoiling (attached to my helmet), and it works great.

Would have kitlooped but the wind was a bit nukey (lit 7m) and the camera on the bridles was doing some really weird things to the handling. I am looking forward to the second generation front line or center strut mount. Very Happy

Thanks for letting me be the guinea pig Brett!
