Ashok, We need a little more info than just a "birds eye view." Do you want to get into aerial photography or are you simply shooting from a hillside or tall building? Todd

ok, this is the best way to get a birds eye view shot. Though what I say below DEFINATLY is risking your camera, it can be done, and be done safely. Think weather balloon... Make a frame around a thick walled helium containing balloon. and mount your camera to said frame.. attach to a flexible and STRONG cable.. let it raise to the hieght you want. This also can be done with a Kite.. but personally I dont trust a Kite. I like having the loft from gas. One could combine the two, and add fins to stablize it. Oh yeah, the Wireless remote shutter option is required, and for Higher Alt. imaging, you might need to bump the signal with a mod or 2 on the lasers.
