I’ve learned that kite flying techniques really come alive with expert help. At CS Kites, Benny gives great advice to both newbies and experienced flyers. He helps everyone get better at flying kites.

When I started, Benny showed me the basics of wind and how to launch a kite. He stressed the need to pick the right spot and know how wind changes kite behavior. These lessons were key for me to get better.

As I got better, Benny taught me advanced kite flying tricks. I learned aerial stunts and how to fly multiple kites at once. These skills opened up a new world of possibilities in kite flying.

Benny also helped me solve problems while flying. He showed me how to untangle lines and fix kites in mid-air. This knowledge has been super helpful, making sure my flights are smooth even when things get tough.

Thanks to Benny, my kite flying skills have really improved. His knowledge has not only made me better but also made me love this hobby even more.

Exploring kite flying has led me to a new way to capture its beauty. Drone aerial photography combines traditional and modern flight. It offers a unique view of kite flying.

Drone technology has changed how we see kite festivals. From above, I can see the vibrant colours and graceful movements of kites. It’s like painting with light in the sky!

To get amazing aerial shots, I’ve learned a few tricks:

• Fly when wind speeds are at least 3 m/s for stable shots
• Use a lightweight camera like the Canon Ixus 135 (120 g) for better maneuverability
• Choose static objects as control points for accurate georeferencing
• Shoot between 11:00 and 16:00 when wind conditions are typically ideal

Safety is crucial when flying kites and drones together. I always follow local rules and keep a safe distance from others. Communication is key – I work with event organizers to know when and where I’ll fly my drone.

By following these guidelines, I can safely take stunning aerial shots. These shots show the magic of kite flying from a new angle.

Hong Kong has many kite flying spots that mix city life with nature. I’ve found great places for both new and seasoned kite flyers.

Tai Po Waterfront Park is great for a calm kite flying session. It has open fields and views of Tolo Harbour.
