The problem is from the paparazzi standpoint is that the FAA has said
absolutely no way to fly the plane over a crowd until they draft rules
for the use of UAVs. Anyway, these guys are working on separating the
imaging system from the platform, so we could use tethered balloons in
a worst case scenario.

How big (pounds/kilograms) is the lidar imaging system that you want
to use? You can get alot of lift out of a balloon. These ballons are a
bit expensive (about $5k), but could be done if you were charging
someone for their services. You can check with the guys at pict'earth
about this ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cool stuff eh? Now if we can just get in touch with the right people
to help us pull this off at Coachella.

I've been looking for something very boring - lidar from such a platform. Seems 
impossible at the moment though.
