It’s an Influencer’s world, and apparently we’re all just living in it.

Snapchat has recently unveiled “Pixy,” a drone that will not only follow you around wherever you go, but will also pair with your phone in order to take videos and selfies for you.

It’s a small device at less than four ounces and can fit into the palm of your hand, but unlike most drones you can’t control it.

It can perform four different functions: Hover in place, orbit around you, take video as it flies away from you, or follow you around as you run.  So it’s perfect for any budding influencer in your life.

According to TechCrunch, the Pixy can record five to eight videos on a single charge, and when you're done recording, you just hold your hand out, and it lands on it.

You can order one at Pixy.com for $230, or $250 if you want an extra battery and dual charger.
