Snap Launches ‘Pixy’, A Free-Flying Camera Drone That Can Fit In Your Pocket
Who would’ve guessed that when Snapchat first debuted with its creative filters in 2011, it would one day morph into a technology giant taking photography to new heights with a flying drone?
Now, with ‘Pixy’, the company’s personal pocket-sized, free-flying camera sidekick, users can capture their most precious moments from new perspectives wherever, whenever.
According to Snap, not only is Pixy able to fly in four preset flight paths, but it can also float, orbit, and follow users’ lead without any controller or setup required.
Even more impressive, at the end of every flight, the drone will find its way back to land gently on the palm of your hand.
When recording with the drone, your videos will automatically and wirelessly be saved into Snapchat Memories, where you can then edit and customize the content using the app’s editing tools, including Hyperspeed, Bounce, Orbit 3D, and Jump Cut.
Create your masterpiece in no time, and share it to your Chat, Stories, Spotlight or any other social media platform with just a tap or two.
Pixy is now available in the US and France for US$229.99, while supplies last.
