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.
