Subject: Kite aerial videography

The latest issue of Videography (a pro video production trade) has
an interesting news item on Supercircuits of Austin, Texas. It
seems that Supercircuits makes specialty micro video cameras for
production and surveillance work. They also make portable
microwave links and micro-sized 8mm/Hi8mm vcrs.

Now small cameras have been around for a very long time, but these
are extremely small! Their PC-8P pinhole camera has a 1/32" lens,
is 1 5/8" x 1/5/8" x 1/2", and weights 1/3 ounce! SHEESH! List
price is $350 US.

The cameras are available for sale to anyone, but to buy the
microwave transmitter you must present proof that you have an FCC
licensed microwave frequency. This does not apply to export sales. 

I'm going to find out more about this firm and their products.
Anyone interested in kite video applications can contact me and
I'll distribute what info I have.
