Panoramas are tough, but if you take enough shots from the same place some will stich properly. I've done KAP for 2-3 years and am much happier with my drones. If you want to do cinema photography the only choice is drones. Your restricted to perhaps some great photo's with KAP but little choice in planning and videos don't normally work well with KAP.

Looking at doing something like this off my boat instead of risking a $1000 drone going into saltwater. SJcam 4000 in it's waterproof case but no gimbal.

In many places kites are not allowed . Are their rules regarding the FAA and flying over NY?

Why don't they use a fishing reel?

This makes no sense at all. A kite is unpredictable with wind conditions. You can't carry a nice camera. You can't get any moving shot. You can't get any high altitude shot. You will have a permanent string in the way of one of your shots. There are so many reasons why this is a silly old idea 😂
