The act of taking pictures using a camera attached to a kite or kite string.

The camera equipment and accessories are known as a rig, and consist minimally of a disposable camera and a mechanism for tripping the shutter. More complicated arrangements can include autowinding cameras, remote control for taking multiple shots during one flight, for directing servo motors for aiming, or for zooming the lens.
