Just found this. Drone looking over Carlyle lake with a 'fish eye' lens.

seems odd that it looks liked it actually scares a sail boat away, but I doubt that's the case. But the lake is way larger than the video makes it look..

The drone may have been harassing the sailboat a bit but not chasing. These pictures make me want to get a drone and a Hero camera. Bet I could launch it off my Legend boat for aerial recon.

yeah, it was probably coincidence that the drone flew close to the sailboat and the boat took off. I take it that with a drone you'd need a really calm day though. And I noticed that the pilot of the drone didn't get too far down the lake to be out of signal.

If he was using a modern transmitter, his range would be at least a few miles. From
the time of the flight, I'd say he was worried about his batteries dying. That is a
definite 'no-no'. The battery charge level can also be transmitted thru the TV camera
to his headset.
