Looks pretty solid, I just got the contour+2 also and will be looking to rig it to my kite. I like the contour, very easy to use and great quality.

that will work just fine. since you have the +2, before you head out, sync the bluetooth with your smartphone and check your perspective to make sure your camera is in line with the rider position. one degree off is noticeable so have someone assist you by just having the kite in the wind window and confirm the camera is pointed at you and you are centered in the frame. once you send the kite to noon, you will probably lose the bluetooth connectivity though so just do it while its with the wingtip close to the ground. also use 1920x1080 as this won't be as wide of an angle (135 degrees instead of 170) one last thing, that mount has been known to "wobble" slightly even in locked position, so maybe throw a rubber band around the housing and mount to keep it tight against the mount. I use a different setup but yours will work just fine. also don't forget to rotate the lens so its in the correct orientation when the kite is parked when riding. have fun-stringy
