Could suggest one thing, which I am learning to do at the moment, and that is flying 60 scale remote control helicopters. These things can apparently carry 3 house bricks, so a camera isn't going to be a big issue.
Still learning to fly at the moment, which is damn lot harder than it looks. Had one crash already, but that was due to a mechanical failure mid flight. Very nasty, and pretty expensive, at £400 so far for repairs. Ended up getting a 30 scale chopper, for about £500 all told, and alot cheaper to fix, but so far, fingers crossed haven't crashed it yet.
The plan will be to put a 8 megapixel camera on board, with a live video feed so you can see what your taking photos of. Also need to build the platform to keep things steady.
