I'm interested in kite aerial photography, and I'm looking for a light
weight camera. I gather from reading around that most people prefer to
suspend the camera semi-permanently from the kite, and use a remote
trigger system. I'm playing around with a "dolly" type contraption that
sails up the kite string on pulleys, trips the shutter, and returns to
the ground to view the image, or advance the film, or whatever.

Hi Marten, I too would advise to get a larger kite. I haven't done any
KAP myself, but a contoct of mine from Flickr has a lot of experience.
He shares his knowledge with anyone who asks. Best starting place from
his part:

Lots of people have shared their KAP rigs here:

Good luck and show us some results when you get them. Seems like a lot
of effort before you rech results.
Cheers,
Wiliam
