An other challenging KAP session…
The previous day I only had my Ricoh GR and the wind was too weak to really take of but the air traffic (choppers and small Cessna) was pretty dense and VERY low… no wonder, this section of Cable Beach is in the approach cone of the runway ! This morning I contacted Broome’s airport air traffic control and requested a 400 feet clearance between 4 and 5 PM to fly my kite; my request was accepted.
Having only one kite while traveling (Dan Leigh Delta R8) my only option in case the wind was too weak was to reduce the weight of the rig. While getting ready and waiting for the camels to arrive on the beach, The Ricoh GR and its wide angle converter were flying smoothly, I then had to remove the converter and then changed the Ricoh for the Canon S 95 with CHDK but by the time the Camels were there, the wind died a bit more and in hurry had to pass to plan B and C : the minimalist pendulum rig for the Go Pro (a piece of rubber around the Go Pro and a wire attached between the rubber band and the kite string, (a very clever German engineering designed by Wolfgang Bieck) but of course I had forgotten the mini SD card for the GP3 and had to switch to the GP2 which had no SD card… I quickly took the SD card from the Ricoh, set up the interval mode to 2 seconds and in no time the Go Pro 2 was flying right above the camels, hoping I did not forget anything in the set up.
Everything went smoothly almost as planned with a bit of adrenalin and stress but that’s part of the fun !
