Technique, the takeoff

The camera is not fixed on the kite, it is hanging on the line, 50 meters below the kite.
1 - I normally fly the kite, using 50meters of line.
2 - When I feel the kite stable and safe enough, I hang the camera system on the line.
3 - I then let more line go, depending of the expected altitude. I have the line in one hand and the radio transmitter in the other. I can move around, moving the camera, I aim the camera and take pictures with the radio-transmitter.
