Milwaukee Harbor, Komatsu North America

My current kite aerial photography rigs and a flat winder of string, fits in a small shoulder bag and weighs a little over 2 pounds. My rig’s portability let me do a quick flight at the new Komatsu headquarters, across from the school of Freshwater Sciences on Milwaukee Harbor.
