I removed the 'citation needed' on the sentence that describes the range of equipment that is used, as it was silly. The references at the bottom of the page all give enough examples, with pictures, plans, schematics etc.

[edit] Photos

I removed the lovely photo of San-Francisco because the caption on the photo indicates that it was taken from a dirigible, not a kite. So we need some more examples of photos taken from kites. It would also be good to have some photos of kite cameras and stabilizing mechanisms. Regards, Ben Aveling 09:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I have replaced this image as it was taken from a kite (click on the image for details). I agree that some extra photos would help the article. Beechhouse (talk) 15:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
According to text in the image, it was taken "From Lawrence Captive Airship". I've updated the wikipedia commons page. Sorry, Ben Aveling 11:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
The Lawrence Captive Airship was the name given by Lawrence to the large camera and balancing device used to take the photos. Probably the best background on the image can be found at:
