@taxiuniversum if it's too windy for a tethered balloon, it's too windy for a kite. if it's not windy enough for a kite, even better for a balloon. enough helium to lift a dslr and balloon would actually cost well under $100, but to hell with helium. hydrogen is cheap and easy to produce and so is hot air.

@ creepyloner1979:
Yea, right. Except for the fact that of course balloons WILL NOT work in wind (or be exactly as "unstable" as a kite would be then). Plus, just one single filling of helium for a balloon capable of lifting a SLR will cost you hundreds of dollars. If you have that kind of money, settling for a rc-helikopter would actually be much better. I like the idea of doing this with a kite - it has something poetic, aside of all its other advantages (low-tech and inexpensive).
