Tying it to the buggy might be a new twist (needs to be stabilized though), but otherwise KAP (Kite Aerial Photography) is over 100 years old.

Excellent overview video with Cris Benton on the Make channel (and Cris's workshop is lust-worthy).



ATB,

awesome video, but the trick is how to make good action-buggyfootage an not senery-tills..

I ws thinking of using a styrofoam airplane with the GoPro on the nose. And tether it to the buggy.

I saw this a while back, and am still curious about the mount.

Hey, I thought it was different and Kudo's for going outside the box on the thought process. Great ideas have to start with something!

they would probably be using a gopro kite strut mount like this

This was my idea... Tie it to the back of your buggy

Those Lanier U2 foamies are such cool foam planes, but they are somewhat slow, delicate gliders rather than rugged planes/kites.

Exactly 10 years ago, I rubber banded a mini Mustek digi cam in movie mode to the rubber motored U2 model. It was my very first youtube video, posted as "World's First In Flight Video from a rubber band powered aircraft!"

Unspectacular, but fun!




My RC bud and I later gutted it and put an RC rig in it...it eventually destroyed itself more each time we tried to "improve" it!

are there mounts for arcs and open cell too? Some shots look like they were taken from on the lines.
