In this paper, we propose to use a remotely controlled quad-motor helicopter with an onboard ARM processor that controls a CMOS camera with a servo motor, and interacts with a Bluetooth module. Snapshots are transferred from the helicopter to smartphone with a Bluetooth module. Smartphone controls the rotation of the CMOS camera in order to capture a picture vertically down or horizontally. Unfortunately, the vibration of the air-borne chopper degrades the quality of the photos. How to reduce the vibration of the chopper for taking good-quality photos is an important issue that remains to be tackled.
