Kite aerial photography in its simplest form is the creation of a photograph with a camera on a kite or suspended from a kite line.

In a more advanced form it employs a video transmitter on the camera rig that sends an image to an LCD on the ground which is used to determine the best time to snap an image remotely using a radio control connected to servos on the KAP rig. Advanced rigs, like the one we used, can also use radio controls to pan and tilt the camera.
