A short flight to test the GoPro HD hero at sunrise.
A very interesting camera for its size, weight, angle and surprinzingly its 5 million pixel.

Kite aerial photography can be a stressfull activity...
There was almost no wind, the water was very shallow and we wanted to shoot a motu (islet) on the coral reef of the island of Tahaa’a, we decided that a Zodiac was the only solution to create our own wind but all of a sudden the engine stopped and the rig was gently falling. At the very last second the outboard engine could be started again and we could gain speed to recover the rig before it was too late... But that was hot!
Risk management is to make sure you have a reliable engine when towing a kite....

Testing the limit of the Go Pro Hero definition.
This Kite Aerial Photography panorama of 2 GoPro ultra wide angle images looks OK when seen @ 20% but @ 100% the quality is not acceptable.
Still a great tool for web illustration but definitively not for printing.
BTW, this is Vahine Island a small 9 villas resort on the island of Tahaa'a, society islands.
