As its “one more thing” product debut at the Snap Partner Summit Thursday, Snap unveiled a freaking camera drone.
Called Pixy, the admittedly cute lil yellow flying camera sends the footage it captures to your Snapchat. Should come in handy for, uh, bird’s-eye view selfies?!
Snap describes Pixy as “pocket-sized,” and it does look pretty itty bitty. Snap also emphasized that it’s easy to use: It doesn’t have a controller “or anything complicated to set up.”

So what does the drone actually do? It can float a few feet above your head, according to Snap, and then automatically transmit the video to your Snapchat Memories. From your memories, you can re-work that footage into a Snap.
It’s available to purchase in the U.S. and France “while supplies last.”
This is the second “camera” product for Snap. Its first physical product, Spectacles, can overlay AR effects on the world around you and capture footage for posting to Snapchat.
