As an alternative to copters or fixed wing platforms, I recently began using a PhotoShipOne FlyLine for aerial photography. Not only does this remove the "FAA Airspace" problem, but these bad boys are incredibly smooth, and can carry a LOT of weight. Here's our FlyLine (Stabilized with a Kenyon KS-4 Gyro) at a local climbing gym in preparation for the USAClimbing National Bouldering Championships later this month. Don't forget to click on "HD"!

City Rock- FlyLine (2 min 14 sec)

Special thanks to PhotoShipOne, Castle Creations, Kenyon Labs, and ThunderPowerRC for everything they've done to make this setup possible!
