I run a kite shop here in Atlanta and can tell you that the main difference in pricing has to do with quality. Premier Kites makes some cheaper, but good quality general kites....but I would suggest looking at Prism or HQ. Both have excellent kites, but I prefer Prism for their single lines and stunt kites, while HQ is amazing for their foils (power/speed kites).
Prism has a great Stowaway Delta that we sell a ton of at our store, they retail for about $35. I highly suggest these for people looking for a single line that is of great quality and not very expensive. It comes with everything you need all in a great package. The kite folds up nicely into the bag, and the flying line hooks right into the bag as well.
We also have carried that same line winder you linked and I can tell you that its okay for light flying, but if you have something that has a bit of a tug on it and your not paying attention, the handle that you wind the line in with can slip out of your fingers and start turning really fact and do a number on your hand. I would suggest either using what comes with the kite you purchase, or opt for something like these. They are classics, and they even come in a wooden version but for some reason I dont see theirs listed on Amazon. Anyway...just some suggestions, hope I've helped some!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HQ-117366-Infinity-Sport-Kite/dp/B001TKFRWG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_h_b_cs_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1VEVZ4TVQB01QSXBC256
this kite should keep you busy for years without you ever learning all it's capable of :-) it's about 150us and you'll need some high end lines that will cost you about 25 max.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HQ-Shadow-Sports-Stunt-Kite/dp/B0035FVGFA/ref=sr_1_1?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1410477266&sr=1-1&keywords=hq+shadow is a bit cheaper but it's more of a basic learner kite. you'll get started ok but in about a years practice you'll know how to fly it and need a different kite (or want one anyway) but it's more directed to light wind.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prism-Nexus-Stunt-Kite-Spectrum/dp/B000XA046M/ref=sr_1_9?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1410477343&sr=1-9&keywords=prism+kite
this prism nexus is the cheapest I would advise. it's even more basic than the second HQ but it should be great fun and only half the price.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prism-Quantum-Stunt-Kite-Fire/dp/B000BMBQY6/ref=sr_1_8?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1410477343&sr=1-8&keywords=prism+kite
is a good capable trick kite. price is about 150 I would think
I just ordered a suspiciously similar kite from Amazon. I believe it's slightly different, but it's tough to tell because the pictures on the Amazon site don't seem to even agree with each other. Yours has a sort of pectoral fin, whereas the one I ordered only has that in some of the images.
Regardless, the Amazon one seems to come with a tail (pictured in the listing) that just looks like a windsock. Maybe this helps? Once I get it in hand and a chance to try it out, I'll send you a message.
So real para-cord has a breaking strength of some 500 lbs, unfortulety most para cord I fined in local shops is a poor knock off. I have had really good luck with some thing like this : https://www.amazon.com/emma-kites-Outdoor-Tactical-Camping/dp/B00ZPR1TV2/ref=sr_1_4?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIta7yn9L54QIVC77ACh04YA0mEAAYASAAEgK4ZPD_BwE&hvadid=174233429679&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9032172&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=7329536342166832212&hvtargid=kwd-4220457650&hydadcr=24657_9648987&keywords=kevlar+kite+string&qid=1556690067&s=gateway&sr=8-4
it is available anywhere form 25 lbs to 2000lbs
I think any delta kit would do. I just got into kite flying a few months ago. The delta kite from amazon fly super well in very low winds. I’d say it’s a great beginner kite and you can fly it on most days.
Thanks for the response!
I've been flying a kite like this and I've been thinking about attaching a gopro to my kite like in this video
I noticed that they were flying a kite that was more similar to yours and the weight of the kite may have contributed to the stability of their video. If I were to buy a kite similar to the one in the video, do you know what keywords/size/length/price I should look for?
Thanks again!
Something like this. Less than $20 on Amazon.
These entry level parafoil kites are pretty darn simple, I don't think there's much of a difference which brand you get.

I bought this one for my kids. It’s cheap easy to fly and fairly well built. Nothing wrong with any of the other recommendations but this my be more suited for a non hobbits looking for his kids. IMHO

For a single string parafoil kite, I would suggest the Prism Stowaway Parafoil.
Once you're ready to move on to a two string kite, I would suggest the Prism Snapshot 1.2.
That's a prism 75' tube tail
