fairly sweet. couple of teens strap a camera to a balloon and send it up for some sweet pics 20 miles up. it's a bit more technical than that but you get the picture. a lot of pictures at the flickr site

Good luck with the helicopter idea. i've done it before and it made the damn helicopter so unstable that it was fighting me to stay in 1 spot. I got it up pretty high then the damn camera broke loose from the vibrations and down it came lol. i watched the video afterwards and you can see the thing come tumbling to earth FAST lol.

Nothing wrong with it breaking, it sounds cool anyway :P

I think one of these days I'm going to rig up my CVS camcorder to some HMT multi-stage model rocket. Its $20-30 1-use cam you can hack to make into a 'real' camcorder, and it saves ~10 mins of Xvid video, 100% solid-state electronics. As long as I could recover it after a few miles of flight... :-X


BTW I can't recall, don't you need some FAA clearance to fly small shit a certain height into the air, like 1000'??
