I bought one mainly for the fun of flying but I did record my hunting land from above pretty cool when I got to the bedding areas, got some turkeys on roost and im trying to locate coyote's with it. I haven't used it to spy on any one. Im not a nosey person dont care what my neighbors doing. Also had a good time flying it while ice fishing. Had a blast
I want one... Better than the 12 gauge with "Dead Coyote" T shot..
The 'death ray' that can knock out drones from up to a mile away using radio waves

One of these would be great to film those great days on the water. Flight time needs to improve lot though.
I saw on CNN online that a guy in Tennessee shot down a drone that was hovering over his backyard while his daughters were there.
He was charged, in part I believe for threatening 4 people who came to his house afterwards.
I haven't heard of this happening for a while. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Two airliners had drones flying close to them on approach in New York last week. Like many other things, they can have a positive use or can be used as well for evil. The report on the airlines said a drone could be constructed on 3D printer out of explosives.
I am interested to see how policies changes as drones become more ubiquitous. Public policies often lag several years behind technology, so this would be a window on how drones could be used. The current FAA rules don't seem to match how some of the concerns.
Manni, if you weren't trying to pee on Lake-Link by pointing out it was an ad on L-L, I apologize
Saw a fishing show recently where they did a "behind the scenes" segment on filming Alumacraft boats to make teir catalog.
Was sorta interesting, and they used drones for a lot of the shots
Show was Sportsman's Journal
I watched Al Lindner fishing with Mark Fisher last week on TV. Some of the shots were well overhead looking down at their boat. I'm thinking that drones must be in use to get these kinds of shots. I know helicopters are used in some shows, but these shots were clearly not that.
Makes for interesting perspectives.
