Default Cheap aerial photos?

Hi. I'm looking for a way to take cheap aerial photos. I don't need video but if that is easier than I can live with it. I have very VERY little flying experience, but I need to be able to have decent aerial pictures for my business. I have tried model rocked based cameras, but they tend to be inaccurate and usually not the best of quality. I was told by my local model shop that I might be able to find some answers on here. He was thinking that I could use an RC plane with a vid camera mounted on it. The plane he had was a 6' wingspan. I don't know, but I think that would be a bit too big for what I am thinking. The camera he had was a 1 ounce camera, that ran off a 9v and used a radio transmitter to send video to a laptop or TV.

Would there be a cheaper way to accomplish aerial pics other than the $400 option he had?

Thanks.
