Wonderful to see a video about innovation and adaptation of an old idea made better by modern equipment and materials. Our need to "see" the world from different angles, drives the creative process... I really appreciate this video! Thank YOU.

Beautiful photography. Lucky for the budding KAP enthusiast today that they don't have to be such tinkerers to get started. Most everything you need can be easily purchased pre-made with electronics installed.

Just amazing!! Congratulations!!! A very nice car too

I remember seeing this and thinking, "How cool!" Now I have a Phantom drone and this video seems quaint.

Dave Thompson quaint but you can't use a drone in National Parks or here when Trump is visiting and it becomes a no-fly zone. It's really an effective way to circumvent no-drone laws!

Don't get me wrong, SiC - I love this! :)

amazing! this man is an inspiration.

I really apreciate this video i have truly been inspired. I wish i had more mentors around in my life who thought like him...

one of the best videos i have seen today

.. the silly putty switch is an awesome idea and very worthy of replacing my ice cube melting time switch. thanks

I have been building drones for 4 years..... but kites are the way to go. - vested interests are determined to see the end of personal drone usage...

very creative work..like it a lot..congratulation

@ creepyloner1979: Yea, right. Except for the fact that of course balloons WILL NOT work in wind (or be exactly as "unstable" as a kite would be then). Plus, just one single filling of helium for a balloon capable of lifting a SLR will cost you hundreds of dollars. If you have that kind of money, settling for a rc-helikopter would actually be much better. I like the idea of doing this with a kite - it has something poetic, aside of all its other advantages (low-tech and inexpensive).

This is amazing.. :o

thanks for share!

Just WoWW...

exactly at 1:02 pause it and you can see a shark. loks like a great white but i dunno how big it is

Very interesting ... Also, very illegal in most states.

@zac856314 he explained in the video why he didnt do that

what in the world is in the water at 1:00 ? is it the Loch ness monster?!?!??!

i want that.

can you make a kite that carries people

id still say shark. but now that i look at it id say somthing smaller like a blue shark. but somthing else. im not good with shark names unless its near shark week

great! how about building one for me? 50$? uh?

@taxiuniversum if it's too windy for a tethered balloon, it's too windy for a kite. if it's not windy enough for a kite, even better for a balloon. enough helium to lift a dslr and balloon would actually cost well under $100, but to hell with helium. hydrogen is cheap and easy to produce and so is hot air.

All the nay sayers. "You should use a hydrogen balloon." "to unstable" you don't get it. He likes photography, kites and building. So he built it! I say we'll done sir! You invisible it, you built it.

and P.S. - Sharks do "hover". Go see a great white in a shark tank. Watch how they barely move. Its okay, i forgive your ignorance.

i would NEVER trust my dslr camera to something that plummets out of the sky the moment the wind changes. and not a single mention of balloons in the entire video? they mention pigeon-mounted cameras but not balloons, which work just like this guy's kite, except with less vibration and no need for wind.

lol

Camera kite? Yeah ok! Thats a gay liberal method!
