Hovering droids like...

I watched A New Hope again last weekend, and something clicked with these little guys.  What about using a remote controlled drone as the base for the little hovering camera droids?  Like the one following the sandtroopers in the "this door is locked, move on to the next one" scene.  (They also show up in Episode I, floating around Jabba and the race announcers during the podrace.)  
Thoughts?


Finally found the "call letters" for the thing:

Looks a little bulky, but I'm sure someone with some skill could mold a body out of thin polystyrene and maybe mount a fan in the bottom. The fins could probably be used for steering, although I don't know the first thing about drones.
