You don't need gyro stabilised if you have a fast shutter.

People are using all sorts of things to do aerial photography, helium
balloons, kites, rc blimps...

There is even videos on how to make 2 axis + shutter camera holders:

Although for this purpose vertically down would be the most beneficial
I think. Kites would be too limiting.

Anyone know anything about UAV blimps?
