Xavier de le Rue Is Filming An Entire Movie With Just His HEXO+ Drone

We've posted quite a number of times about the HEXO+ drone, a drone company started by big mountain snowboard legend Xavier de le Rue and which was built entirely for the purposes of filming its buyer as it rips down the mountain with no one operating the drone – just its internal software.

Now Xavier is putting his money where his mouth is and making an entire film with just his HEXO; no cinematographers, no photographers, just the drone he carries on his back. With a number of new pre-programmed filming routes, Xav is claiming that Hollywood-level aerial filming is now available to anyone. "And that's, I think, my biggest pride in this project," Xav said, and which he clearly aims to prove with this new film.

Would you consider dropping filmers and shooting with only the HEXO+?
