It's a wonderful idea and the shots were amazing, but was there any kind of technological barrier before? Has this seriously never been thought before?

Or maybe it's just the "I could have thought of that!" feeling.

The only downside is you don't have remote-control over the depth/aperture. you'll notice most of the high-quality editorial photographs have great depth that isolates the animal and makes a greater image.

with this setup you need a really wide lens or a fish-eye to make a good composition. cool up-close photos but you give up control over the mechanics of the camera.

A Veho Muvi Micro DV Camcorder attached to a remote controlled car or helicopter. Will be doing that on my next trip to the Serengeti
