The A1 drone from Antigravity, together with Insta360, enables users to record 8K 360° video in a single flight, making it the only production drone to achieve this. The standard battery of the A1 drone weighs 249 grams, which enables it to operate under the FAA’s 250g registration requirement while providing complete 360° imaging capabilities that eliminate the drone from recorded footage.
Key Features
- 360° 8K Resolution Video
- Insta360-Powered Invisible Drone Effect
- Vision FPV Goggles & Grip Controller
- FreeMotion FPV Head Tracking View
- Capture Multiple Angles in One Video
- Reframe Videos When Editing
- Obstacle Avoidance System
- Automatic Landing Gear
- Flight Battery Included
- 8.8 oz Weight for Regulation-Free Flight
Flight Experience and Controls
The A1 drone operates through Vision FPV goggles and a Grip controller, which serve as its primary flight control system. The Free Motion mode of the system enables pilots to change their viewing direction through head movements without affecting the drone’s flight path. The system provides users with a traditional FPV flying option through its forward-only locked mode.
Users can operate the Grip controller through thumb stick control or gesture mode, which enables arm extension for lateral movement and wrist rotation for smooth orbital flights and hand elevation for altitude control. Users who want to use traditional buttons can still access them through the system.
The drone features automatic landing gear deployment and retraction, checks payload weight before takeoff, and it has foldable arms for transportation.
This is a very sophisticated and unique option for those who want creative video options in flight. However, the one downfall of this system may be its price, but it offers something that, as of right now, no other drone system has. I’m sure DJI and others will respond to this release in the futur,e though.
