Search the web for what some other guys have done for camera ships... I've seen some setups where the camera pod is gyro-stabilized... makes for much more steady pictures.

I know a very large RC chopper was used to film a motion picture shot already... "Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius" I believe... to get a golf-ball's eye view of a golf shot, looking back at the player. I think it was much larger than the hobby-type RC helis, though... it looked more like one of those Yamaha RMAX giants that are used for crop dusting, etc. (see link below). Those things cost a small fortune, but are supposedly very simple to fly... sounds like they have multi axis gyro stabilization and an on board computer that helps you fly it!

You definitely have a lot to learn... get some books on RC helis (Ray's Authoritative Helicopter Manual is very good) and do some research on the web... get a good RC flight simulator (RealFlight G3, Reflex, Aerofly Pro, etc.) and start learning to hover. RealFlight comes with a controller, so you can buy that and start learning on it llong before you decide which radio you want to spend $$$$ on... I'm not sure about the others. And lastly, research the heck out of what others have done, and figure out what your needs are for the heli, camera equipment, etc.
