Reels

On this page I present various spools and spool mounts that I use for aerial photography, but also for “normal” kite Flying.
To clarify the construction, I start with the technical designs of the spools , to then show the practical results, i.e. the operational spools and mounts.

Stratospool and hand spool side by side

Stratospool and hand spool next to each other – the different bobbins fit on both. For kites that need a thicker line, I use the right-hand spool, for light wind kites like Dopero or Delta I use the hand spool with the appropriate line, even Kevlar.. 😉
