KAP RIG Parts & Bits

Downlink

 

Finally I was able to install a downlink on my the Pentax W90 camera. I had to use the PC/AV port on the camera and Fatshark 100mw 2,4 ghz transmitter, good for transmitting the movie channel over 300 meter.  The ground station has a color screen and is very compact. The screen is (only) 5cm. I used Velcro to stick it on the RC. Depending on the location and circumstance I can connect the groundstation with my Samsung tablet PC using the USB port for a more detailed view (if needed).

Biodroom workshop

Today, we had a great kite workshop at the Biodroom in Antwerp.
With the help of Emma, my daughter and some "real" kite makers we got 25 red kites up in the sky.
That's promising for next the 19th!

And if you don't like kites you can make some beautiful booths
