Snapchat launches Pixy! - No it isn’t a dog…

It’s a camera drone

Snapchat says ‘ It’s a pocket-sized, free-flying sidekick that’s a fit for adventures big and small.’ It does look quite cute in our opinion and fits in the palm of your hand. With the simple tap of a button, Pixy flies in four preset flight paths. It can float, orbit, and follow wherever you lead, without a controller or any set-up. And, Pixy finds its home in your hand, landing gently at the end of the flight. So it is kind of a pet. Videos from flights are wirelessly transferred and saved into Snapchat Memories. From there, use Snapchat’s editing tools, Lenses, and Sounds to customize what you capture. With a few taps, you can automatically crop into portrait and apply quick Smart Edits, like Hyperspeed, Bounce, Orbit 3D and Jump Cut. Then, share to Chat, Stories, Spotlight, or any other platform. Pixy is available for purchase today in the United States and France while supplies last for $229.99.
