Whoa, Jim! If you're flying low enough to have to focus, I hope God is your
copilot! And don't let that get around; the FAA won't be happy with your
altitudes.  [;-)

I'm a pilot, and have done a very limited amount of 35mm aerial shooting
years ago, from Cessna 152s and 182s, and from sailplanes. It occurs to me
that, flying solo, the KO should work well because you grip and fire it with
one hand.
