    Saw an R/C Helicopter being used to survey a construction site earlier this year. Checked it out when it landed and it was fitted with a Nikon digital SLR. It didn't even have a petrol motor - it was running on batteries!

    You might want to contact a commercial surveying firm and ask if anyone is using a similar system and how they've gone about it/what issues they had, etc. Don't see much point in re-inventing the wheel.

    Anybody interested in this subject might like to access the 7:30 Report that was shown on ABC 1, Australia tonight (8/10/12). You should be able to access online.

    There was a segment on drones. Drones launching missiles, drones flying through houses, drones controlled by I Phones and drones taking on passenger jets (passenger jet 1, drone nil :roll: ).
