About
me
| Matthias
Grimm (* 1966), living in a litte town named Münstedt in the
administrative district Peine (Lower Saxony/Germany).
With kite
flying I started in autumn 2004, after I visited with my
daughter Jessika the kite festival in Wolfenbüttel. I
wanted to know more about the many interesting flying
objects and so I found
the page of the german
kite forum. On that page I found many useful
informations to satisfy my hunger for knowledge. In nowadays
you can meet me nearly daily in the german kite forum. |

First I started
with two line kites and trickkiting, than I tested single line
and four line kites. Meanwhile the flying of single line kites
and the construction of kites predominates. I resigned with the
two lined kiting completely.
During
my search in the internet I found in summer 2006 informations
about people which made aerial photos with the help of kites.
That was extremely interesting for me, especially I had more and
more fun in single line kiting. The more so because I am taking
photos for more than 25 years. So I started collecting
informations about kite aerial photography. I found a lot of
informations in the internet and got many useful hints from Ralf
Beutnagel. Many questions became answered and so the first
rig was developed. I was ready for the first aerial pictures.

During
my first visit of the kite flyers meeting in june 2007 I got
many new insights in KAP. The "KAP-Point" was the
meeting place for many KAPers. It was a good opportunity for me
to become acquainted with the KAPer scene and to gaze the
different solutions for kite aerial photography. Meanwhile
I have two rigs (Canon G10 and Canon G1X)
with radio control and image transmission as well as a hand adjustable Rig (GoPro Hero2)
for kite aerial photography at disposal. I am
thankful for many technical hints and practical tips which I have received up to now from all sides. I have regular telephone and personal contact to
the other members of our KAP-Team
(Ralf Beutnagel, Wolfgang Bieck and Andreas Napravnik).
Common kap activities and kap reports round off this cooperation. |
