Recommendation for aerial photography (UAV & Helicopters) camera

[AP_OZ]

Hi,

I have recently started getting in to photography using helicopters and UAV's. At the moment I am just using a Go-Pro for video and some cheapish Sony cameras for the still shots. I have included some the examples of my work so far below.

- What I want to do is start taking some high quality still images from my small helicopter UAV. Can someone please recommend me a camera that fits the following criteria:

1. Low weight
2. small in size
3. able to do at least 720P video
4. Simple controls to switch between video / still settings remotely.
5. Relatively robust and can handle a bit of knocking around.

Regards,

John.
