I'm working on a project where I want an arducopter to recieve waypoints from a pin dropped in an android app, go to that location, snap a picture, and transmit the image once it has been taken to a server accessible by the app. My question is: what is the best way to link camera and transmission of the image. I have considered Eye-fi cards, potentially a wifi shield for the ardupilot, perhaps a very crude and mcguyvered radio transmission (like for FPV), drone cell, or perhaps some other suggestion from those of you out there.Essentially -- I need to get the image on a camera to a network, preferrably while the copter is still in the air (it will be in an area with great wifi accessibility, if it helps.)

If I go the route of hooking up an arduino with an ad breakout board, the ttl camera, and Dronecell, all of which I have, alonel with a quad kit from 3dr, how can I power the setup involving the arduino camera and Dronecell , preferably from the distribution board, an esc, or even the apm 2.5? Sorry, not the best electrical engineer!

I think best way would be with 3g or 4g but Wifi might be easier if u don't plan on going far
