A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Antigravity, a bold new name in the drone world taking shape under Insta360’s wings. Back then, we only hinted at what was coming. Today, the wait is over — Antigravity is officially unveiling the A1, the world’s first sub250g 8K 360° drone, built to capture every angle, every detail, and every moment without limits.
For me, the real surprise was discovering that the Antigravity A1 doesn’t just come as a drone — It’s bundled with an FPV headset and a one-handed motion controller. This combination means you’re not just piloting with sticks and screens as is conventional, but stepping into a truly immersive flight experience. The motion controller lets you guide the A1 as naturally as pointing your hand, while the FPV goggles immerse you in the view, making the whole experience feel intuitive, exciting, and a little bit futuristic.
At the heart of Antigravity A1 is a dual-lens camera system that captures everything around it in 360 degrees. The lenses are mounted on the top and bottom of the drone’s fuselage, enabling complete environmental capture with no blind spots. Its dual-lens setup mirrors the capabilities of Insta360’s popular X Series, making it easy for anyone to capture stunning 8K 360 footage — this time in the sky.
Advanced stitching technology renders the drone invisible when viewed through the goggles and in the final footage. The result is an immersive, clean video that places drone pilots directly inside the scene without distractions.
Antigravity FPV goggles and Grip controller for A1 360 drone
A key feature of Antigravity A1 is its unparalleled level of immersion. The drone, the Vision goggles, and the Grip controller work together to enable a new way to explore the skies.
With Antigravity’s unique FreeMotion technology and responsive head tracking, pilots can look freely in any direction while flying the drone using intuitive hand gestures. This separates flying the drone from viewing the surroundings, allowing pilots to look in one direction while flying in another. The result is a level of immersion that makes it feel like you’re really there — turning Antigravity A1 into a tool for aerial exploration.
The 360 immersion doesn’t end when the drone lands — recorded footage can be viewed in 360 degrees repeatedly, letting users discover new angles every time they watch.
Regulatory-friendly and travel-ready.
Weighing only 249g (55.0 pounds), Antigravity A1 meets regulatory requirements in most countries and regions. It’s the perfect drone for creators, families, travelers, and first-time pilots seeking a powerful yet accessible tool for aerial storytelling. Its compact size makes it easy to pack, carry, and launch in seconds. This lightweight design makes it a direct competitor of the DJI Mini 4 Pro.
Redefining Easy and Safe Flight
Antigravity A1 is built with simplicity in mind. Pilots fly using the Grip controller, which responds to natural hand movements, eliminating the need for traditional stick controls. Paired with the Vision goggles, users can freely explore their surroundings in real time with full 360-degree visibility. To ensure that Antigravity A1 is used solely for exploration and storytelling, it includes a payload detection to prevent misuse or unauthorized modifications.
“We didn’t want just to build another drone. We wanted to create an entirely new way to fly,” said BC Nie, Head of Marketing at Antigravity. “A1 is the first step in reimagining flight as something anyone can enjoy — something safe, intuitive, expressive, and endlessly creative.”
No gimbal, no stress!
The 360 dual-camera design eliminates the need for conventional mechanical gimbals, which are not only heavy but also the most fragile component on a drone. The AI-enabled electronic image stabilization completely eliminates unwanted drone movements, delivering buttery-smooth footage.
The video above was filmed with the Antigravity A1 drone, and it’s a perfect demonstration of just how rock-solid the EIS is. Even after landing, you can reframe the footage without losing detail, and there are truly no blind spots — from the ground to the sky, front to rear, and both sides are fully visible. I’ll never forget one flight when a bird suddenly swooped in and attacked my drone from behind. At that moment, a full 360° perspective would have been priceless, letting me replay the scene and see exactly how it unfolded.
