Snap launches its first drone

So far as I can tell there are no real spec numbers anywhere. No video size/framerate/resolultion specs I could find (admittedly I only spent 1 or 2 mins clicking around looking for them).

Which kinda indicates the target market they're gonna aim this at. This is for people who want to know "Can I upload the video to Snapchat?" not for people who are wondering "Is this 1080p? Or 720? Surely it can't be 4k?"

I prefer sample videos to specs, because specs are pretty much worthless. The 2021 Macbook Pro has a 1080p camera, but the actual quality is worse than the 720p camera in the 2015 Macbook Pro.

The website has some sample videos, and you can tell the quality is very poor compared to pro drones, but definitely good enough to share with friends and family.
