HiCam Camera Kit is a set consisting of the camera mounted on a frame with slow-release mechanism (to delay taking a picture).
The origin of the HiCam camera cradle was a desire to create affordable and quality KAP. The cradle can use the widely available Fuji "Single use" camera which uses ISO800 film, or the excellent Olympus Stylus Epic, or any similar camera. The camera model should have no zoom, as zoom models are not very suitable for KAP.
When used with the Olympus results can be obtained which will compare with the best. The cradle will also suit experienced KAP'ers who want a simple light rig which can be taken hiking etc. where a radio controlled rig and large kite would be too big and heavy to carry long distances.
The rig uses a modified viscous timer originally developed by model aircraft enthusiasts and used by David Hunt in his inexpensive KAP rig . His design was part of the inspiration for the HiCam. You will note that the HiCam timer is more advanced and can be varied.
The HiCam Camera Kit is available for sale. If you wish to buy one, please contact us.
