I have rented airplanes and helicopters, and gone to the top of towers.
airplane / helicopter rental costs about $250 per flight. with a helicopter, you should use a stabilization system, and the rotors are in some of the shots.

I've linked up two long selfie sticks but only with a small camera on the end.

It works. I think I want to do the rocket thing and maybe a GoPro and a baseball with a parachute that opens when it reaches the top of the arc. Balloons on a string, cheap - go to a party store. Camera set to interval shooting. Kite... I wonder what the lift is on one of those big kites with flight controls?
Then for the more exciting, a potato canon or an aerial lift from fireworks? Water rockets? Slingshot, I mean giant kind, surgical tubing. No I won't be sending up a DSLR but honest, the possibilities are far beyond anything I can think of.

Yep - I put my 5D up on a kite.
