I wonder if Maplins sell them yet?

Have a search around. I think you'd be very happy with what you could find.

I'd search for things like RC Helicopter Camera Footage. Then do another search for How to transmit video 100 meters wirelessly. Got a feeling the results should make you happy, and you'll be able to put the 2 together.

Was looking into something like this with a friend earlier on, but the only drone style things he was able to come up with were military use ones, and costing around the £1000 mark. Brilliant...but not for my uses haha.

Have wired up cameras to RC helicopters at uni. That was pretty cool. Adding a remote broadcaster would be easy enough. You could even make it more fun by getting a few of those quad-copters and getting them on the same radio frequency to carry larger loads! Check out the Amazon Drone Delivery system. That style of chopper.
