Pixy: this is the new Snapchat flying drone that is chasing you

From time to time, accessories are launched on the market that are, to say the least, curious. This is exactly what happens with the autonomous gift pixies. Developed by the Snap company, its objective is to provide a good solution to get the photos and videos you want to stand out in what is its flagship product: the social network Snapchat.

With reduced dimensions and a design that does not fool anyone due to its intense color yellow (a clear reference to the platform mentioned above), this is not a device that is intended for drone professionals. Not much less. It is a product of basic use and that can be considered pocket-sized, and that has an integrated camera that has a resolution of 12 megapixels. Its resolution reaches 2.7K, which is not bad at all,

In addition, it includes 16 GB of storage space, which ensures that I was able to store a good amount of videos and photos: 100 and 1,000 of each of them, according to the manufacturer. It is important to mention that it is not capable of recording audio, so this limitation must be taken into account. And what can be done with what is achieved? Well, if the proper configuration is done, download it in a profile of Snapchat Memories. At the very least, the idea is striking.

Important things of this autonomous mini drone

The first thing to note is that it is created to work autonomously to make life easier for users. In this way, once it is flying it is able to record and take pictures without you having to do anything, because it can be said that it “floats” around you to follow you using different sensors and its camera. By the way, you don’t have to chase it to turn it off: by putting your hand under it, the accessory lowers until it rests on it. Funny as well as useful.

It does not lack WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity so that connectivity is optimal, and this Snapchat product arrives with a 860 battery mAh to use the drone for up to eight flights in a row, using the four default options for use that it has (this component is interchangeable). A curious product that does not include a stabilizer no water resistanceso you must keep it in mind.

Price of this Snapchat product

At the moment Pixy has been put up for sale in France and the US, but it is normal that it ends up reaching all the places where the social network has a presence. Regarding what you have to pay to get it, its price is around $230 (It is possible to add more batteries and a charger for $20 and $50 respectively). An option that is striking and that, obviously, you should not expect more than something basic from it.
