A promotional video (below) shows a group of friends sending Pixy to the sky to capture shots of the trinity as they roam the countryside. Starting a flight with Pixy involves choosing one of several flight modes: hover, hover, reveal, love, and follow. For example, follow the prompts of the standalone device to monitor your movement, keeping you in the frame at all times as it takes pictures and videos from the air. Content, videos or images are then automatically stored wirelessly in Snapchat Memories. From there, you can deploy Snapchat editing tools, lenses, and sounds to customize your content, including fast-paced Smart Editing apps like Hyperspeed, Bounce, Orbit 3D, and Jump Cut. Once done, you can quickly share your clip or photo via Snapchat or another platform. snapchat Snap describes its new drone Pixy as “a pocket-sized, free-flying assistant that is suitable for adventures large and small.” The tiny flying machines lift the scales just 100 grams (0.22 lbs) and start and end their flights in the palm of your hand. The protective bumpers around the propellers ensure that your fingers will not crumble as they come to the landing, saving you from the kind of horror show that struck Enrique Iglesias several years ago. The Pixy is available for purchase now in the US and France for $ 230, though you should be extremely patient as the shipping time is currently displayed at 16 weeks. Accessories include extra batteries, a dual battery charger and a conveyor belt that incorporates a bumper. This is the second physical product released by Snap, as it follows in the footsteps of the company-equipped Snapchat Spectacles camera released in 2016. The device, which can capture video and images and also offers augmented reality features, is now available at his third iteration.
