Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

Snap is a flying camera. Some might call it an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. We call it adventure inspiration. Functionally it is a powerful flying vehicle with an ultra high definition camera that is optimized to capture photos and video for you from the air.
It’s extremely easy to operate – unfold it, pull out your smartphone, release it into the air, and begin to fly!
You can control Snap with your phone, or put it into tracking mode and let it follow you. Snap is portable (read ultra-compact), safe, an excellent flying experience, and shoots UHD pictures and videos.

Purchasing Snap, Warranty, and Returns

Yes, we are charging you when you pre-order. This early commitment helps us ensure we make the correct number. We thank our early supporters by shipping in the order received – so those who order first will get Snap first.

Functionality

Nope. It works – straight out of the box. Yippeee.

Video & Audio

Yup! Snap streams live video to your smartphone.

Flight

Snap has tested well in winds above 20 mph. We suggest not operating it in wind over 15 mph.

Tracking

Snap uses the GPS and accelerometers from your smartphone to keep track of your location and keep you in frame. We use some fancy predictive feedforward modeling and smoothing to make the video look as awesome as possible.

Safety & Regulation

You can use Snap anywhere indoors or outdoors as long as you are respecting all the local laws and regulations. Snap requires a clear view of the sky in order to get a GPS lock, which is used for maintain positioning and automated flights. We recommend doing your first flight outdoors so Snap can maintain position automatically.  We also suggest you also respect local flora, fauna, and people.
