This kite allows you to take digital images from nearly 80 feet up. Once you’ve landed the kite, simply connect the camera to your computer and transfer the photos via USB.

The delta wing kite looks the business, too, if we may say so, giving the Spy Kit all the stability you need to take truly first-rate snaps and create your very own version of Google Earth, albeit with a more low-level feel.

The Spy Kite measures 4(H) x 120(W) x 60(D) cm and weighs 0.052 kg. The toy, which is currently out of stock, will set you back £29.99 (about $57 USD).

If fishing isn’t your cup of tea, here is another fun way to spend those hot summer days in a true Star Wars style.

This new line of Star Wars kites will start to ship in July and can now be pre-ordered from the official Star Wars shop.

There are six different models to chose from:

• Darth Vader Superflyer Kite ($38.99)

The design of the FredriksonStallard Kite ($45) is something you don’t see every day for these kind of toys. Kites are generally colorful and have a somewhat childish look, but this one is all black. A dark stealth fighting looking bird, said to be “amazingly easy to fly”.
