I've read this is an off-the-shelf Sony 1000 video camera modified with 'secret sauce' by Insitu for UAV purposes. Sure is an interesting picture, eh?
----------------------
Enjoy this picture of the Insitu ScanEagle UAV. This one helped rescue Captain Phillips in 2009 from Somali pirates by providing from the USS Bainbridge real-time aerial footage of the lifeboat Captain Phillips was kept hostage in.
Decided to post this drone picture on 18 February because the day before, the Washington State House passed drone regulation legislation. If my State Senate passes EHB 2789, the drone industry will dramatically expand in a safe, thoughtful way.
One might like the Insitu website on this fine UAV. My other ScanEagle pics are HERE.

The attraction of unmanned aerial vehicles or remote piloted vehicles or drone, I feel, is the different perspective that they offer for the capture of still and video imagery.

Move cursor into photo, now RIGHT click; now select ORIGINAL & you will then need to use the horizontal & vertical scroll bars to view the entire high resolution photo.
It takes 2 people; 1 person operates the UAV's flight controller, the other person operates the camera controls & has a monitor so they can see the stills, or videos the camera is taking.
It has a flight time of 6-7 minutes, battery powered.
Line of sight maximum distance is .75 mile for flight controller & costs, "multiple thousands of dollars" not counting the camera
I was so enthralled when walking past Pierce Park that I forgot about my camera when the UAV was flying overhead.
Here's an unique angle of the ScanEagle for you!
