Autopsie of the Ricoh GX 100...

This camera was attached on a kite line, flying over the lagoon of Fakarava in the Tuamotus(French Polynesia) when all of a sudden the Kite took a dive in the laggon, bringing everything down.
Obviously the Ricoh does not like Salt Water...

Autopsie of the pan servo of a Kite Aerial Photography rig which took a deep dive in the lagoon of Fakarava.
A few minutes in the salt water was enough ti ruin the fragile mechanism...
