Not enough people are paying attention to this!
It is very woo yay. And very calm and peaceful looking. I'm not sure I could be that zen with a DSLR literally on the line...

I might try this, but not with my hi-def camcorder
But I might buy a wireless webcam and risk that instead

You could always make a parachute / airbag for it, just in case...
Ideal design:
Remote control to decouple from kite line, automatically kicks in if connection to remote control is lost for whatever reason. Once decoupled, parachute deploys. Camera is mounted on pre-inflated airbags (hence very lightweight) which also double as a flotation device for water landing.
