What kind of camera works best for Aerial Mapping? Technically, any camera will work for aerial shooting, but compact cameras in the "poin-and-shoot" class are the right size for balloons and kites. Phones with good cameras can also work.

, or you will have to add an external shutter trigger (see the camera trigger page).Standard Consumer Cameras. See if your camera is on this list of continuous drive cameras at Digital Photography Review.
