HexaKopter offers new form factor

Just when you thought that you’ve seen all the remote controlled helicopters in town, along comes the HexaKopter – a 1.2kg, six-rotor device which is capable of staying in flight for slightly more than half an hour, toting around another 1kg of cargo with a high-definition camera to shoot amazing images from above. According to creator Holger Buss, the HexaKopter is a snap to fly, and is able to fulfill a wide array of applications including aerial photography, environmental measuring and as a toy. What we like most about this is its unique design, but the HexaKopter’s in-flight recording will most probably have any sound drowned up by the din of its rotors and engine.
