Why not just put in an Ultrasound sensor to get a 50m radius 3D Map around the Boomerang and the Software should definitely be able to compensate for the rotation?

[Wavefire]

Maybe a bit of both hard/software compensation. Through the rotation you get a 360 degree picture that gets interpreted through software. Maybe even put a laserscanner in there to get a topographical map of the ground. Or Ultrasound? After its return, data gets distributed through your wireless and your entire team has a map of the suroundings. You could simply use a minidrone instead... but where is the fun in that 

Personally I'd avoid any RF addons. A drone can always get detected by a scanner, same with any active surveillance gear. But a "dumb" boomerang that records and then transmits on retrieval is close to impossible to detect, especially at night. But the software compensation is a great idea. The spinning motion would give you a complete picture of the target area. My next char is getting Throwing weapons for sure!

If you want to go completely wireless even better! Throw your Camerang, catch it, read out gathered intel via skinlink and burst the data to your team via line-of-sight direct lasertransmission. Should be safe enough

Remember, kids, that if you have the right program, you can model image-against-time to provide a three-dimensional map of an area through simple camera work.  It may take a couple more seconds' processing, but hey ...

[The other Bandit]

I think processing power is one of the few things that is not in short supply in the year 2070   

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

You can have a billion gigahertz (or whatever) processor, but if you don't have the right code, all it's going to do is waste cycles really frickin' fast.  Speed is great, but brains and planning will always trump it.

[Wavefire]

So we have basically designed a flying camera that is virtually impossible to detect, will return to your hand (saves nuyen) and with a few seconds of processing and a probably legal video editing program will give you a 360, 3D map of the compound you want to raid. And given it the catchy name of the Camerang! I may have been wasting my Throwing skill on grenades and knives, Camerang is where it's at!

... um, actually we're talking about the RenrakuAustralia product, the BoomerEye (p. 24, Run & Gun), and what could be done with it.  Boomerangs do make a very distinctive, and moderately loud, noise all on their own - you'd be counting on the individual to not recognize what the hell the sound is, and the light levels to be low enough that the BoomerEye goes unspotted during its two-Turn flight.  So the goal is for it to go effectively unidentified, if not effectively unnoticed.

And here I thought we were being brilliant and innovative.

Never having thrown a boomerang how loud would you classify the sound as being? Foot steps, whisper, speech, louder or quieter?

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

Go out to a Little League baseball field.  Stand on the pitcher's mound while someone you really, really trust stands at home plate throws baseball bats past you at a distance of five or ten feet; that's what it sounds like at a distance of maybe twenty or thirty feet, because it's doing lots of work using the muscle energy that went into spinning it into rules-lawyering a loophole about pressure differentials into convincing the GM of RL into keeping it aloft.

Somewhere between a silenced and a standard gunshot, I guess.

[MrGray]

if it was me I would get thrown to 5 and the concentration in aerodynamic 2 and improvisation weapon 2
anything throw able becomes a weapon

[The other Bandit]

Movie silenced gunshot or real life silenced gunshot?
If the former yeah ok if the latter... damn loud boomerang!

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

Consider the lowly helicopter.  Consider the incredibly loud 'eggbeater' sound it makes, flying through the air.  The helicopter utilizes the exact same methodology to fly as a boomerang does; the only differences are that the boomerang is both smaller and not motorized.  You're dealing with an item with a blade that's often what, a foot long, two to three inches wide, and up to an inch thick?

It's not gonna be silent.  Like I said, go out and have someone throw baseball bats past you.  Or better yet, go out and learn how to throw a boomerang, and see for yourself.  They aren't loud, but they sure as hell aren't silent.

With no back ground noise, its not hard to miss.....
