    Do you think there would be a demand for an elevated aerial business in this climate.Basically it would consist of having a van and a electronic mast than can reach to a hightof 40 feat and you use a laptop to take the photo about 10mins work.it would be ideal for auctioneers,construction sites etc.the start up cost would be low.

    There is already a couple of these around Dublin so depending on your location if it's a viable option for you.

    It will take a lot longer than 10 mins to get a good shot. You'll find cables, litter etc which will have to be avoided or moved. Client will want to see image and then will request move or other adjustment.
    Assume minimum of 1 hour from the time you arrive, unless jsut simple auctioneer shot of single house. However, that market is in doldrums.
    Remember also to get a good photo you need to manually adjust focus and apeture. Can that be done from the laptop?

    Seems like a good idea. Thought I saw some add on the net where you can get masts that go up to 60 or 80 feet ? Perhaps it be used for surveys, road traffic accidents, outdoor events, advertising shots etc etc ? Do you think it would be successful ?
