What happens to the camera when you land your kite?? My lines get drug in the sand alot.....I backstall the FS, grab a steering line to flag it out
and the other lines get drug in the sand.... Would this destroy the camera??????

It gets whacked around :D don't worry, it can hack it!
... I forgot to close the deflate zip on the Synergy when I did the "Feast, Day 2" movie ... so the kite went up, flailed around, I popped safety and
dropped it. Sorted it out, relaunched then later on inverted the kite and had to dump it again. All the while, the camera bounced around ...
On sand, no worries. Grass, probably ok. Anything else - dunno!
One point - check the lines are still in guide fingers before you relaunch ... I didn't check and the lines had come out of the Kitehero and gotten
twisted up. I sorted them out with the kite in the air, but next time I think I'll put cable ties around the fingers!

yeah, it'll flap around. on the fs when you leave it with the stearing lines then the camera will be fine. Once you flag itm the camera will likey
lay on the snad, but no biggie. But I'd found hat the kite hero works _much_ better when the center lines have a swivle. what's nice about the kite
hero is that it can also double as a tripod mount for the go pro 
:bigok:
