When you're finished, you can easily share your video or photo on Snapchat or another platform.

Snap new Pixy drone is described as "a pocket-sized, free-flying sidekick that's perfect for adventures big and small."

The tiny flying machines weigh only 100 grammes (0.22 pounds) and begin and end their flights in the palm of your hand. Protective guards around the propellors ensure that your fingers don't get shredded as it approaches the runway, saving you from the horror show that befell Enrique Iglesias a few years ago.

Pixy is now available for $230 in the United States and France, though you'll have to be patient as the shipping time is currently listed as 16 weeks. Additional batteries, a dual battery charger, and a carrying strap with a bumper are included as extras.

This is Snap second physical product, following in the footsteps of the company's camera-equipped Snapchat Spectacles, which were released in 2016. The device, which can record video and images and also has augmented reality capabilities, is now in its third generation.
