Meet Pixy: The Drone Camera That Wants to Up Your Snapchat Game

1. Pretty cool but kind of useless. They want to do this kind of stuff but won't even give android dark mode.

2. This drone is just a 50 dollar toy drone from walmart with the name brand treatment. 230 dollars with horrible wind resistance, horrible cameras, etc. You can purchase a mavic mini for the same price and get much better videos, much more flight time and wind resistance, gps tracking, and something that wont be abandoned in a year.

3. Will it avoid bumping into things with the 360 view? I doubt it

4. It's not enough, it's a big chunk out of what would a superior version with sound, range, duration and camera features. Bothers me that they haven't done better with low-light, and you can't see anything on the screens in daylight anyway, we desperately need daylight viewable phones, not our computer's monitor.

5. Is this the same people who never dropped fly nixie lol

6. This wil be soon in ..Tech Fail museum

7. Looks like another failure, I don’t really see anyone using this

8. Hey cnet, I love you, but your new logo sucks.

9. What is this new CNET logo? Looks cheap asf

10. No thank you

11. this is just more surveillance under the guise of 'entertainment' you could imagine the amount of data collected about an individual by having a drone follow you around

    aw but never mind that, we all need a pixie in our life. am I rite

12. If it doesn’t record sound?

13. I thought this was a fake account because of the new logo. Looks a bit amateur?

14. Hope they realize every single influence who uses this on a monetized site like YouTube or IG is going to have to get a Part 107 license from the FAA or pay large fines. It's not an easy thing to do either, you have to study weeks for it and take it in person at an FAA testing site.

15. It’s a first generation device which will have many flaws but it will get better with every new one

16. No thanks I rather use my iPhone with 4K 60Fps with sounds

17. This seems really cool.

18. I likey likey

19. can you shoot video on landscape mode or only upside mode

20. yes everyone is happy with cameras in the glasses

21. looks good cant wait to lose 10 of em

22. That would be kind of neat to follow me around in the yard.

23. So many issues, so little time. Does it fall under FAA regulations? If so, it has to be registered, ID'ed etc. If you try to charge someone for the photos, there is a whole list of regulations to cover that. Even though it has follow modes, there is no mention of obstacle avoidance and yet the video has several shots of this drone flying in a heavily wooded area with tree collisions inevitable. There is no mention of any kind of controller so once this thing launches, its on its own. If it looses sight of you for any reason, maybe it lands or maybe if just flys off into the sunset. On the plus side, the props are enclosed so it probably just bounces around until it finds its target, crashes or runs out of power. For another 200 bucks, I'd go with the DJI Mini 2 or Mavic series instead of this toy.

24. the absence of lips is freaking me out

25. aww thats so nice sharing my cute sweet friend..stay happy and blessed forever dear….

26. This drone can use follow feature meanwhile dji mavic mini 2 can’t
