The weather has turned cold and windy so I thought it might be fun to fly a kite. I thought I could try fixing my mini-camera to the kite and see what we could see. The answer is 'not a lot' as it is shaking around far too much. Initially I was going to make a mounting that would hang below the kite but for speed I just tied it directly in place. Maybe next time I will make the mounting and see if that helps the stability. My wife bravely stayed in the car this time as we were having snow and sleet showers so we don't have an alternative camera view to make sense of what is happening. Here are a couple of videos of people getting it right alixdent https://youtu.be/eCTorY2xu8U James Moore https://youtu.be/GjIv9EwtBDM Main components - Polyester Kite from 'The Works' Filmed using FujiFilm FinePix S4800 and Mini Camera This was the eBay listing I used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201163709063 Edited using Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition Mini Camera playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3Ym4jci7AjTxOn4-ZIojMx Kites playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0cQEd8EvTU8x2pySWEaJGH Failed Projects playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3Y2WryRyOhxwL-lUR0i6Vj My Channel page https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan Oldest videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=da Most Popular https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=p&flow=grid&view=0 Newest videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid Playlists https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/grandadisanoldman/ Merchandise - Check both of these links if you are interested as the prices will vary and the shipping charges will be different. http://www.redbubble.com/people/grandadiaom/portfolio http://grandadisanoldman.cottoncart.com/ I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk My "GrandadsOtherChannel" channel is generally where I will host the videos that give extra detail or longer versions of the videos I post on my main channel https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadsOtherChannel
