PAP steht für Pole Aerial Photography = (Hoch-) Stab-Luftbildfotografie
Hierbei wird eine Kamera auf einem Teleskopstab befestigt.
Auslösung und Video-Kontrolle erfolgen wie bei der KAP-Methode.
Vorteile: man ist vom Wind unabhängig und kommt auch mitten in einer Stadt zu Luftaufnahmen.

Sometimes there’s no wind to go KAPing or there’s no space to get the kite aloft. You don’t always need more than 10 m for the camera. First I put together two telescopic poles. But getting 9 m upright let the poles with the rig bend.

So I looked for an apple picker telescopic pole, took one of my pool poles and an old pole from a clothes spider (?). This light weight telepole gets up to 8 m. With a platform on my VW bus I reach 10 m – enough for an unusual point of view. A gallows carries the rig or you can put the camera for 360 degrees panoramic pictures or for spherical virtual reality pics (VR) onto it. A two way water-level helps to get the pole upright. >Foto<

The camera is triggered radio controlled or by cable same with the video signal.

PAP gets KAP

When I add a modified pan-servo I can use the PAP-rig for KAPing. I just have to let a metal lip slip under a bar and fix all with a special nut. A rubber saves the nut from loosing. After connecting the servo with the RC-receiver the changing is done.
