P3D Floating 3D Revised

Thanks to all who responded to my question regarding the lift of a balloon
filled with helium.

I should have been more specific as to what I'm trying to do. I want to
build an ultra light stereo hyper camera, say 150 grams, to be floated at a
distance of between 20-30 meters ( 60-100 feet). We're talking a couple of
chocolate bars weight here, so hopefully they could be lifted without a
major investment in balloon power. 

kites are out due to the inherent problems with wind and stability. Hot air
is feasable although extremely limited. I'm just trying to get over the
trees for some new perspectives in scenic photography, as Alberta has some
spectacular scenery, but I can never get the height I want!
