I was doing some Kite Aerial Videography the other day and got this idea. What if I fly the rig above the boats, camera facing straight down?

The sun was setting and the shadows grew long. Every now and then the clouds covered the sun and changed the light completely. Nice! I had to do some KAV experimenting.

So I fixed the flying line to the ground and walked over to the rig and sat it up for the occasion; camera pointing straight down.

Then i put everything up into the air again and walked over to these boats I would like to capture on video.

First i flew the rig pretty close to the ground, let’s say just five, six meters over the boats. I had connected the GoPro to my phone so I could see what was going on and it looked pretty cool!

Then i decided to fly the rig a little higher and sent it all up to … well … about twenty meters off the ground. Still things looked really cool.

All the boats down there made for a quite unique pattern when seen from above. Here are a handful of photos from my little experiment.
