They are far to expensive. Currently we (openstreetphoto) are looking at
big Electroglyders. Shortly we will have some snapshots from a smaller
one. The one that is in the progres to be build will have a spawn of
around 3 meters and could potentially carry a digital reflex camera.

If you want to go Quadcopter I strongly suggest to go for a real open
source project. Because you will not realise how much it will annoy you
if you have to change something but can't do it because the platform is
closed.
