Just found this cool idea. Don't blame me if your camera goes out to sea.

Very cool idea, this may be a new way to document our tree work

I'd try to use new line and a burr free rod/reel.

Try it with spider wire, light and strong. I'd find a better way of securing camera too, just in case it wants to fall out. Velcro perhaps.

A dab of silicone should do and keep the weight down. But the right foam would hold it pretty good.

I was thinking this is such a good idea a person (not me) could market a kit. The balloons, helium, cam mount, and a remote self destruct balloon popper with a parachute.

Or if you got good with the set up, could maybe make money with aerial real estate shots.
