Kite Aerial Photography

Brooks Leffler and David Wheeler built and donated a kite-borne photography system that enabled our Aerial Recon Team to get wonderfully detailed low-altitude overhead imagery of the Seven Site and the reef near the Norwich City shipwreck on the Niku V expedition (2007). KAP was also used to help survey the "Maid of Harlech."

TIGHAR had tried a video camera-carrying kite during Niku II (1991), but stability in the strong trade winds was a problem (just watching the tape made everybody sick.)
