The HEXO+ is a drone designed to follow you around and film activities such as action sports, capable of capturing incredible aerial footage for a low cost.
Xavier de le Rue, action sports filmmaker and the founder of Squadrone System in Palo Alto, California, “needed a solution that would make aerial filming possible in the most remote places: on mountains, in the snow, and in all sorts of unpredictable situations that were quite a pain to deal with when trying to sync a drone pilot, a cameraman and a rider.”
The Kickstarter campaign ended as a massive success and you can get more information from the HEXO+ website.
The drone utilizes MAVLink in order to track and communicate with your iPhone, enabling users to control zooming and the position of the drone with their phones.
