Great Pic...

How do you trigger the shutter whilst it is up there?

That was what I was just wondering gubby. Are you up there with it OZKiteman or is it remote control?

has to be remote, I would think

Thank you guys for your comments.

Here are some answers:

I trigger the camera by remote control up to 1 km away.

1) The camera is mounted on a aluminium rig with 2 motors (called servos). One rotates the rig 360 degrees (Pan).

2) The other servo moves a tray where the camera is attached up and down (Tilt).

3) The third channel in the radio send a signal to an infra red bulb which flashes in front of the infra red receptor of the camera triggering the shutter.

4) the rig is attached to the kite line just like a cable car ( Pendulum suspension).

All I have to pray is for a good and steady wind. If you want more info about the system just google KAP (Kite Aerial Photography)

Cheers.

Thanks for the info OZKiteman really love all of your shots, have you thought of doing any Tilt Shift Photography with your shot's?

They are the perfect angle for that type of shot.
