More Early Images May 23
Just putting some notes out here so I’ll remember them later.
My plan for my KAP kit is to create basically a mini-packable kit (which will be a soft kite, hoop winder + BEAK*), and a big not-so-packable kit (Rok + soft kite + big winder + RC kit + maybe video downlink eventually). This is somewhat in parallel to my mini-packable camera gear– Camera + 2 lenses + 2 flashes + triggers, or even smaller Camera + CLS triggered SB-600… which gets me off-camera lighting in one small bag) vs. big gear (Camera + buncha lenses + 2 Alien Bees + Softboxes + etc. etc. etc.)
BEAK: “Brooxes Easy Auto-KAP” — basically one servo that rotates the rig, and another that triggers the shutter. You set the tilt on the ground, then it just rotates about 30 degrees and snaps a picture. No real control, but you get a whole lot of pictures. My current rig is like this, but without the rotation. Most of the parts from this can be converted to a full RC rig. Although I might just get a 2nd frame for the full RC model.
