I've heard this thing hovering above the neighbourhood a few times now and caught the bugger a few streets away high up earlier today. I know its a drone... and a pretty sophisticated one too by the expanded view (and check out the camera!). I just wonder what it is up to. A Jihadi drone? Or am I being paranoid?

:roll: Paul, don't be too concerned as it is a drone with a Go Pro camera attached. Most likely a neighbor trying to get a peek at your other neighbor's wife nude sun tanning

A lot of real estate photographers are now starting to use drones to get interesting shots of the property in question.

A Drone that large probably has a DSLR, not a GoPro Camera. It could be a new way to do survey work aerialy?

If he were violating my airspace it would be lying on the ground in several pieces because I would shoot it with my Remington rather than my CANON.

Of course it is a hanging target while it is in the air.
