More of a booklet than a book, it does have some good bits in it.,

This review is from: View from a Kite: Kite Aerial Photography How to Attach a Camera to a Kite and Take Stunning Aerial Photographs (Paperback)
28 pages from start to finish, the author found other books on the subject too "technical" and wanted his book to be as much fun as the hobby.
You'll get several B/W photos taken from kites, a number of diagrams giving some detail about a couple of camera holder set-ups and some bits about triggering your camera once you have it airborne. The photos and drawings aren't greatly detailed, neither is the text but I did learn a little about how to hang a camera (no info on choosing a camera to fly with)from a kite. I'd like more information to consider this book to be of great value, including a bibliography of those "too technical" books.

View from a Kite
Written by: Carl Scott Hanson Published by: Dorrance Publishing This is an interesting book... not something I ever would have imagined myself reading, but I was considering giving it to my brother as a gift and that is why I got it. Who the book is for: Hardcore photographers who want to try something different. What I liked: This book is very in depth and shares just how much work kite aerial photography takes. What I didn't like: This book is very thin and not really gift worthy. My conclusion: I didn't try anything out of this book, so I can't testify to if it really works or not, but I do think the instructions were thorough, and it sounds like it would work. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I received this book free to review from Dorrance Publishing Co. The opinions expressed in this review are my true thoughts and feeling regarding this book. I am disclosing this information in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

This review is from: View from a Kite: Kite Aerial Photography How to Attach a Camera to a Kite and Take Stunning Aerial Photographs (Paperback)
For $9 I cannot expect too much. If the book cost more I'd given it a 1-2 star rating.
The book is filled with low quality and rather uninteresting B&W photos. I'd rather have more technical information and instruction than this filler. The book does give instruction on crude triggering devices and creating a Picavet--perhaps the most useful information.
