end product - 2 castors with the wheel taken off, bolted together, 1 gopro buckle, 3 nuts and bolts, piece of cylinder rubber (taken from the post of an old landboard foot strap) a lump of lead to use as a counter weight (about 1/2kg) and 2 extender poles. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151201514048?var=450245657022&...

Very nice Carl... I like how well the swivel mont shots edited in with the others.

Is there any concern about it getting caught up in the lines?



I'm going to take a nap now

yes and no??? what happens is the boom swings around until it hits the line then either stops there or rotates back the other way. I suppose if you had your kite really low and it rotates past the lines then you bring the kite up whilst its there then you could trap it.
