Hexo+ autopilot drone captures cycling heroics

Aerial footage might once have been the preserve of big-budget films, but a new design of inexpensive camera drone promises to make cycling stars of us all.

The fully autonomous £330 Hexo+ uses a gimbal to carry a GoPro camera to capture footage. The flying camera platform works in conjunction with a smart phone to automatically follow your movements at speeds of up to 45 mph.

The Hexo+ has alrady raided more than $500,000 on crowd funding website, Kickstarter.
