KAP Equipment

Kite aerial Photography (KAP): Using kites to get aerial pictures with a very unusual angles. A camera is lifted to get these pictures from a height anywhere between the ground and euh... airplane flight level..

The Equipment:

BROOXES BASIC KAP KIT (BBKK)
The kite Aerial forum provided valuable advice that really got us started. We ended up with a Brooxes Basic kap RIG; suitable to our requirements (for the moment). The quality of the equipment exceeded our expectations.






Adventure photography doesn’t get any better than this. Waterproof, shockproof, dustproof and coldproof plus an inventive LED lens lighting feature for unparalleled macro photography from a compact.   The way bad PENTAX Optio W90 adventure cam looks every bit as tough as it is. 
  • 12.1 megapixels
  • Rugged, Waterproof, Shockproof, Coldproof
  • Digital Microscope mode with LED lens lighting


GoPro’s HD HERO Naked is the world’s highest performance wearable 1080p HD video and still photo camera. Professional quality 1080p / 960p / 720p HD resolutions record at 30 and 60 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card (not included).  The camera can also shoot automatic 5 megapixel photos at 2/5/10/30 and 60 second intervals during your activity, hands free. Press the shutter button once at the start of your activity and record up to 2.5 hours of poster-print quality photos of you and your friends, living it up.
