will have to see what is around. things i forgot you have to take into consideration are both the position of the sun and also the direction of the wind. makes planning shots a bit more of a challenge

she'll be right

maybe, lol. i took a pano today at a lake that would look awesome in kite pics, but i would have to be on the other side of it due to the wind direction. not even sure how to get around the other side, lol.

Easy, skip the kite, get an rc chopper....

It's how the pros do it(or how I think the pros do it)....

Matt - I saw your doppleganger!

So they are giving away RC choppers these days? And why would I need a pro setup?

It's very rarely a need, more of a want.

And if you listen to me, you're about as far away from being a pro as possible....

Think it would be cool on an r/c chopper with a talented pilot, so you can get the angle and heights you want.

Just on my wish list....

ah i get you. i dont wish for things as i know i dont have the means so there seems no point, lol

ah, i know why i miss understood you.

to skip the kite would be the opposite of what i want to achieve. i just want to have fun and fly a kite and try and fluke a decent shot in every now and then. there may be views that would require a helicopter, but i care not for them as the whole idea of attaching the gopro to the kite is just to see what you get, like a lucky dip camera type thing. i would have no use for a helicopter, lol.
