Dude these guy's are ripoffs. They saw that the Hexo+ got funding and copied them 10 days later. Everything they have on their page is CGI or faked with a remote control aerial copter. This was the original - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sqdr/hexo-your-autonomous-aerial-camera

The original guys are also way more dedicated action sports athletes at heart, fuck these copyartists.

Ill be that guy to go ahead and say that this will not be on the market due to the fact that the NSA will buy the company out and use 1 drone for each citizen of American to increase "safety" for everyone in America.

I'm getting one. I was almost set on the hexo+. but the airdog is just smarter for my use. It's way more compact and packable, keeps the gopro in the case for protection, and can handle more weather. You can also take the airleash into the water so you don't have to worry about wrecking your phone. I wish the two of them had joined forces and produced one awesome drone that combined the best features.

6 days left in the campaign, I ended up getting the 2 pack but my buddy backed out. Anyone in Canada interested in going in on the other half to save a few bucks?
Also, they reached the million dollar stretch goal today, so obstacle avoidance is going to be implemented. Bad ass!

Sweet protip that saves shittons of money: Train your falcon to follow you while skiing and teach it the art of filmography. Also bitches love falcons.
