Great pics....what amazes me is that kites can be flown just about anywhere; but not drones. Of course kites are tethered and drones are free to roam. Drones can drop out of the sky, and kites can spiral down too. My understanding the reason we can't fly over people is a safety factor. Had a guy on the beach here in Florida, in a National Park, with huge kite that had an aluminum frame. He was flying over people. If it came spiraling down, that frame could take out a child. I asked the Park Ranger and he said kites are fine, drones are prohibited.
So why are kites allowed, and drones are banned? Just curious. ...

Back in 1993 I was station on Governor's Island NY (It's just off the tip of Manhattan - New York City) when it was a U.S. Coast Guard base. One nice summer's afternoon I was in the middle of the soccer field with my kids flying a HUGE Kitty Hawk kite. I estimate it was about 1-2 miles of line attached to the kite. Have a great day - enjoying flying when the Base Security come up, and 'ASKED' me (well - told me actually) to bring in my kite. When I asked why? Their answer - It was showing up(ON RADAR!) in the landing corridor for the JFK Airport! HOLY CRAP!! LOL!!

Anyway - great pictures! What, and where were they taken? New Zealand? But what beach? (I like to look up places we might visit someday.)

Thanks for posting!!

Very nice for a 12 MP camera. The pictures were so cool when I blew them up and could see all the individuals on the ground and the beach. Well done, I hope you can figure out the video transfer problem. Good luck on your fishing, I am still waiting for the water to warm up in March. Keep enjoying

You can also attach a camera to a kite.

You have to use the Forum media button to post the link , you cannot just copy and paste anymore into the text field.
Its hidden with those 3 dots just in case you do not see them out your phone.
