I know I've seen video of a an Iphone 4 that was sent to 160,000 ft on a weather baloon, before it popped, they were using a HD camera for video and the Iphone for the GPS tracking so they could recover it. A dad and his young kids did it for fun.

Lower the altitude, add some RC electric fan thrusters, voila, Recon drone.


Hell, If I had the time and money, I'd do that. Just not send it over my local nuke plant.
