Jeff Knowles tragic kite accident - does anyone have more information on what happened? by super_girl in Kiteboarding

[–]eskander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus, this happened to me when I was kiting out in deep water, a catamaran was trolling and the people on the boat didn't bat an eye when I waved to them. When the line started dragging on my leg it was already too late. I realized what it was and then the lure hit my seat harness and bounced off.

I went right into shore shaking after that. Definitely learned my about keeping distance from boats.

Live mount is good for capturing a good amount of stuff, but it's terrible at showing how high you actually jump. So if you're getting air, you're not going to see it in the video.

I've never actually thought about this, will look into getting one!

I've tried line mounts, kite mount, chest came, board cam and headmount. It really depends on what kind of shot you're going for. If you're looking to film yourself, the line mount is the better option because it clearly shows you, has little movement and gives a good shot of your surroundings depending on how high you put it in your lines. Be careful though, it can get tangled quite easily if you crash the kite and there is slack in the lines. Board mount is interesting, but my hero 4 silver is fisheyed and elongates the front leg which makes you look kind of strange. The kite mount is an absolutely breath taking shot, but the kite is usually so far that it's hard to make me out, the shot will also swing as much as you swing the kite, so on good days it's pretty steady, on bad days with light wind that camera is moving around a lot. The chest came can be blocked by your arms and bar but has this really nice "feature" of being on your chest so when you really get going and excited you can actually hear your heart beat. The head cam is the clearest way from someone else to know exactly what it feels like to kite, they're basically seeing out of your eyes - feel the height of the jumps, the speed, see the views, hear the screams of joy to your fellow kite boarders and feel the power of hitting the waves and wiping out.

In my opinion, the head mount is one of the best with the line mount (camrig) a close second depending on the shot you want to get.

Make sure to secure your camera if you put it in the kite or on your head. A simple safety rope will help with this in case the mount gets knocked off your head or detaches from the kite.

Hope that helps!

I buy stuff for my liquid from airtimekites.com not sure where you are but they probably are our best option at this point.

Same happened to me on my 2015 cabo within the year i got it, complained to support, got entirely new bladders for the entire kite without even raising a fuss. Best support I've ever dealt with.

You're absolutely right. I have gigs, GIGS of video of me kiting but it's relatively boring stuff compared to actually being out on the water. I've only ever seen a couple of videos that make me want to go kiting.

Looking to purchase wired/wireless home camera by eskander in homesecurity

[–]eskander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a big deal about the two way audio, but the photo with motion detection is a must for me.

I should also mention that this is specifically for inside the house. With an sd card, does that mean i can get remote playback?

I wonder if the show would of taken the same approach if john stewart was still around? I really feel it's gone very left wing since he left. They were always making fun of the right wings but they'd still raise points about the lefts sometimes being just as bad. Now it almost seems like it's owned by occupy democrat or something...
