Ready for use on [Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-video-lenses), the device maintains a compact construction that weighs in at just 101-grams and features a knob on the top for toggling it between different shooting settings. The drone is rated, according to the brand, for up to five flights thanks to the internal battery to make it a great addition to a user's day trips for capturing aerial footage. The Snap 'Pixy' drone features a quad-copter construction that's bright-yellow to make it an instantly recognizable addition to the social media brand's product lineup. A series of plastic bumpers around the edges protect the unit from damage, while an emergency landing function takes over in the event that control is lost.
