SnapInc is grounding Pixy and ending future production of Snapchat's selfiecamera drone as part of a broader reprioritization of company resources.
We’re afraid it’s time for Snapchat users to say goodbye to aerial selfies. Snap is apparently grounding Pixy, Snapchat’s first selfie camera drone, ceasing its future development altogether less than four months after takeoff.
If you’re a frequent Snapchat user and haven’t gotten your hands on the little photogenic drone, don’t fret. According to a person familiar with the matter, Snap will still sell the remaining inventory of the current iteration of Pixy to customers in the U.S. and France on its dedicated online store. The drone itself costs $230 with the bumper and carrying strap, rechargeable battery, and USB-C charging cable.
When the Pixy flight ends, all the images are automatically saved to your Snapchat Memories. From there, you can edit and share them on Snapchat or another platform. The only caveat is that a full battery powers the drone for five to eight flights, so make them worthwhile.
