Default helium blimp camera platform

I also fly blimps at half time shows. The envelopes leak bad. You won't be able to store them with helium in them. they leak out. I We have had many enevelopes for the baloon and they have all leaked the same. They get holes in them very easy. I am pretty sure it will lift the light camera. Not much more. Ours is about 12 feet long. They are expensive to keep filled and will not fly in the wind. Just the air system in the field house blows it to the ground once in a while. Really comes down fast if you get close to a hallogen light. Blows big holes in it. They are fun though. I will probably mount a vidio on it this year.
