Hey John! I just wanted to say that we are the biggest fans of your work!!

Thanks Warren ;o) I will let the team know. http://www.armadale.org.uk/groupmembers.htm We are amazed at how much you have all achieved too in such a short time!!

that's a great balloon flight, John-- 18g cameras sure save a lot of helium!

Hi We have found that working with children there is no problem using our standard KAP equipment: http://www.armadale.org.uk/aerialtechniquesforchildren.htm However, the biggest hurdle has been getting the adults who are responsible for the children to continue using KAP.
Our use of the 808 cameras is to simplify the rigs used and to also dispel worries about breaking more expensive cameras. Balloons (and poles: http://www.armadale.org.uk/pole.htm) are an ideal way to demonstrate aerial techniques indoors, especially with very young children, before venturing out.

It is a natural step to then move on to better equipment.
