You can definitley do this with a mid size quad and gopro/small point and shoot. I personally don't like the wide angle of the gopro. I mainly use mine for mapping and find the wide angle causes excessive warping/distortion. One thing to consider would be a Canon point and shoot. They are pretty cheap and can run CHDK which lets you do a lot of cool things like remote triggering, running scripts, saving raw files etc...That is what I currently use and it works well.

As for the quad choice the phantom is a pretty basic platform that will do what you want. I haven't flown one, but my understanding is they are pretty easy in stabilize mode. I haven't personally flown this either but I have a kit that is running a similar flight controller/software and I really like it. It has a bit more functionality than a phantom, but will probably take a bit more effort to set up as well.

Either way I would suggest getting a small toy quad to learn first. The Hubsan is great learner. It is much better to crash one of these than an expensive phantom/camera set up. Plus you can fly this inside as well. Also check out /r/Multicopter. There is a lot of good info there.

Introduction to Microwave Remote Sensing by Ian Woodhouse is a great textbook that's actually readable. It's $10 for the kindle edition (which you can read on your computer with the kindle app), or free if you have a kindle unlimited subscription.

Edit: Also definitely look at the Alaska Satellite Facility's Vertex data portal. Its much more user-friendly than ESA's data portal if you are looking at Sentinel-1 data and includes a lot of other radar satellite missions in its database. They also have really nice tutorials for working with SAR data.

Remote sensing and image interpretation is a good read and a great addition to an office bookshelf. Dated in that some better stuff isn't there but a lot of it still holds relevant today

You could probably find a better price or another source googling around

Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Second Edition by Emilio Chuvieco is very comprehensive and the writing style is quite reader-friendly.
