Move over selfie stick, there’s a new selfie aid on the market! Just released this week, Snap has a new flying camera for taking video of your adventures. For some reason they insist on calling Pixy a “flying camera” and not a drone, but that seems like basically what it is.
It takes off and lands on the palm of your hand to shoot 2.7K videos and 12 MP photos of your adventures. Sounds like you’ll need a Snapchat account to join in the fun. According to TechCrunch, “Once the drone is done shooting a video, you can open Snapchat on your phone. Videos from your flights are automatically transferred wirelessly to your phone. By default, they are stored in your Snapchat Memories.”
Seems like a fun thing to try out until I saw the $230 price tag! Compared to standard drones, however, it’s quite affordable.
