I was also concerned when setting up the Hexo+, but found that the Velcro did a fine job keeping the camera in place. If you're a bit wary about a strip of Velcro being the only thing keeping your $500 GoPro falling from the gimbal and meeting the ground at significant velocity, you're not alone. Instead, it rests in the gimbal's cradle and is secured using a clamp that surrounds its lens, held in place with a Velcro strap. The GoPro itself doesn't need to be secured using tools.

HEXIO PLUS DRONE PROFESSIONAL

It's a little larger than DJI Phantom quadcopters, including the Phantom 3 Professional (8.0 by 13.8 by 13.8 inches, 2.8 pounds), but it's not a drastic difference in size. It measures 9.6 by 17.1 by 16.1 inches (HWD), with small propeller blades that don't extend too far away from the body. Given that it's powered by six rotors, the Hexo+ is surprisingly compact. One of those is our Editors' Choice, the DJI Phantom 4, which is priced in line with the Hexo+ when you take the cost of a 4K GoPro Hero4 Black camera into account.

HEXIO PLUS DRONE MANUAL

That's a big limitation, especially given its $999 price (without a camera), and makes it a tough sell when compared with more versatile drones that include both automated flight options and manual control. It offers a number of automated camera moves, but there's no way to fly it manually. Instead, think of it as your virtual documentarian, following you around and filming your exploits from the air. The Hexo+ isn't the type of drone you get to fly yourself.

H ttps://How to Block Robotexts and Spam Messages If we reach our goal it’ll mean that there is a real need for HEXO+ and you’ll be the signal for that, so thanks in advance for your support. We’re putting the project in the hands of the Kickstarter community because it is the best way to be directly in touch with the users of our product and build this together. This accounts for $50k, the smallest budget we believe is necessary to make HEXO+ a reality, and starting at $499 apiece, an affordable one.īut that’s not all. We need to pay for molds, minimum orders on parts and build. Now, taking the leap to industrial production requires funds that we can’t secure without your help. Why? Because they would all love to have a tool like HEXO+. Our strong historical ties with the action sports community have given us extensive access to athletes and filmmakers and everyone is willing to support HEXO+. The shots we obtained are just awesome and that’s what matters. The drone is fast and agile, and the flight controller as responsive as we want it to be – from our action sport movie-making people perspective.

HEXIO PLUS DRONE SOFTWARE

What we’ve done so far is take our initial idea to the stage of a working prototype: we’ve been ramming through hardware and software hurdles until last month, when we managed to consistently make our prototype work in field conditions.

We also integrated over the air gimbal control to obtain the best possible camera angle based on the relative positions of the drone and the subject. The onboard software is based on the 3D Robotics open-source code, and we optimised the MAVLINK implementation and the behavior of the drone to improve response time to commands sent from the mobile app. On the drone side of things, we have combined a drone that’s designed and optimised for aerial filming and action sports: robust construction, payload capacity and high speed and stability, thanks to the six tilted propellers. Finally, the smartphone and the drone communicate relative position to each other and data over the MAVLINK protocol, developed by the ETH in Zürich. This enables a quick, accurate tracking of the subject and is key in achieving great images. This user interface is backed by trajectory anticipation algorithms that crunch data coming from the sensors on the drone and smartphone to predict the next, most likely position of the subject.

On the smartphone side we have an intuitive interface for you to handle your drone easily, position it where you want in space and potentially (stretch goal!) wifi video live feed. Our team has strong roots in critical aeronautic software development and that made HEXO+ possible. You might think this is borderline magic, but it’s actually all orchestrated by a smart and lean use of technology.
