Hexo+
Some might consider it the ultimate selfie stick. Others might use it create Lord of the Rings-esque panoramic videos. Either way, this self-flying drone is designed to both follow and film you. It works with a GoPro, and can be controlled using a simple-to-use app that gives simple instructions, like follow (close or from afar) and hover (high or close). Unfortunately, the GoPro isn’t included with your purchase.

Inspired by the United States Marine Corps, SeaVees’s new boots are made with weathered roughout leather. Each boot’s heel and toe are also polished off with a deep wax finish.
