Battery Life

10 to 15 minutes

When it comes to autonomous flying, the Hexo+ Drone has got it right! It is a rare camera drone that does not use a handheld remote, but is instead controlled using just a smartphone app. It can record videos with great precision that look like pro aerial cinematographers work and can perform specific camera moves.

These camera moves include pans, dollies, and circular motions that are easy to program using the app and have amazing effects on your recordings. It is completely capable of taking off, flying in the air and landing back on the ground, as well as of course, following you! This makes it easy for people using this as a sports and action camera to take pictures and cool videos of themselves without having to hold or mount a camera.

As there is no need to really pilot the drone, it uses a 3-axis gimbal (0° to 90° motion range on all 3 axis), predictive tracking algorithms and a camera movement mobile app. It uses data fusion algorithms to find your present location based on GPS and phone sensors, and thus has the ability to follow you easily.

The Hexo+ has max speeds of up to 45mph, allowing it to fly properly even when there are strong winds, while also being able to resist damage from slight drizzles. The drone is equipped with digital compass, GPS antenna and accelerometer. It features over 80 custom camera movements, and has a flight time of about 10 to 15 minutes on a single complete charge with its 5000 mAh 3S lithium-polymer battery.

The Hexo+ does not have a GoPro attached to it, so you will have to buy your own. It is compatible with the GoPro models - Hero 3, 3+ and Hero 4, and works seamlessly with the drone to provide great quality footage!
