It looks like a way to "ooh, I should add that feature... and that one..." into bankruptcy, but DIY Drones has a $28 UAV controller, and a just released $60 one that uses an ATMega 1280 that, if flown on a hobby-scale airframe that falls within the standard FAA R/C rules, line-of-sight and below 400 feet, could make a really cool aerial photography platform...
Of course to that controller you have to add accelerometers or gyros, and a GPS device, and by the time you're done upgrading everything you're no longer under a hundred bucks, but you are under a thousand...
