Aerial Video from a Stunt Kite

Check out this video footage from a camera mounted to a stunt kite. The last time I tried something like this was many years ago and it didn’t work so well because digital cameras weren’t around yet. I later tried lifting a normal sized video camera in the mid 90’s with a parafoil but that didn’t work very well either. I think I’m gonna have to try this myself and see how well it works.
