Smartphones, kites, and Kickstarter: announcing a KAP rig


Sparrowscope

Hi everyone,

I've been working away on a rig design that's intended to make KAP really easy and much less expensive than it has been in the past. I've put it on Kickstarter and one of my backers told me that I should write about this on the KiteLife forums!

This rig is called the Sparrowscope, and it uses a smartphone or an iPod Touch as a camera, video downlink, and remote control receiver. It's using the headphone jack of the phone to send motor control information for pan and tilt. Here's a little animation that shows a demo:

If you'd like to find out more about it, check out the Kickstarter video! And if you can help me get the word out about the project, I'd really appreciate it.

Have a great weekend,

Ori
