Not sure of the readability of this but I just got a 500 size rc electric heli that's big enough to put my Gopro under it. If we have enough people to do a large size for base game I could hook it up and get some interesting airial video.

I have put some thought into aerial videos myself awhile back and here is what I have found.
They make a relatively light weight rc heli with video that takes some suprisingly good 30 minute videos.
Go to YouTube and look up Airhogs videos.
I forget the name of the model.
It is cheap priced like around 40 bucks.
Another upside is it has a rechargeable dock on the controller. After doing some research I found you can use a mini usb plug and a 12 volt adapter to tie it in with your car for recharges.
Downside is no audio.

Also......
On the rc forums they also use some small lightweight cameras that can be gutted from their housings and insert them into radio shack project boxes for all sorts mounting possibilities.
One popular cheap camera is from RCA small wonder series.
They can be found dirt cheap on eBay.
I bought one for fun and it takes very good audio and video. You could probably mount with it still in original case if you tapped a couple holes in case.

I already have te camera an it's HD. Only issues I may run into is the sounds may be drowned out by the motor and I only get 5 min per flight pack and it takes about an hour to charge each pack. That's why it would need to be a big game our a forecast only match.
