    May I add that I fly RC helis from time to time and those 6+ channel ones get very complicated and expensive very quickly, looking at over a grand just to get the thing in the air, that's no including the cost of the camera weight, balancing weights or mount.

    Quadcopters are easier to fly though... You can mount DSLRs to them also (if they're big enough of course).

    This is true on some levels, it's easy to fly a basic one but to get anywhere near the same control a skilled RC heli pilot would get with you need to spend a lot of money and know what you're doing.

    Can't imagine having a DSLR is that far forward is gonna make it any easier to fly either.

    The little helis take load pretty well actually, it will obviously be balanced around the camera but I've mounted a gopro to considerably smaller ones with only small weights to balance it out, the rest is all 'trim' done to the heli itself.

    If anyone was looking for a basic setup I could help them get off the ground.
