Before the official release of the Antigravity A1, the company launched a giveaway valued at $20,000 to introduce its groundbreaking technology to the creative community. As part of this initiative, Antigravity offered its first 360-degree drone to a select group of content creators and hobbyists, giving them the opportunity to test the drone in real-world conditions. The program was designed to gather authentic feedback, explore creative possibilities, and showcase how the A1 could empower new perspectives in aerial storytelling.
Now, you have a second chance to get the Antigravity A1 for free. Antigravity is partnering with visionary travel filmmaker Sam Newton to put your creativity in the pilot’s seat and open up new ways to tell your story in 360°.
As mentioned, Sam Newton is a visionary travel filmmaker known for capturing immersive stories from unique perspectives around the world. His work is driven by curiosity, movement, and a constant push to see places differently. That shared mindset is what brings Sam and the Antigravity A1 together. With its 360-degree capabilities, the A1 gives Sam and other online content creators the freedom to explore new creative angles and tell more immersive stories, making it a natural fit for the way he approaches travel filmmaking and visual storytelling.

How to Edit A1 Footage to Win Your 360° Drone
Get started by downloading the official Antigravity editing software right here. To unlock the full creative potential of your footage, we recommend using the Antigravity Studio desktop app—it’s packed with all the tools you need to bring your 360° vision to life, far beyond what the mobile version can offer.
The functionality of each app is the same, so go ahead and pick whichever one fits your personal style. However, we recommend using the desktop app if you plan to work with the sample footage.
Note: If you are using the mobile app, the song can be found under the category “Pop Music.”
Tips for Making your Winner 360 Video
To help you bring your creative vision to life, here are some practical editing tips that can take your 360° video from good to unforgettable. These simple tricks will help your story shine and make your footage truly stand out.
- Selecting “Free view” before keyframing allows more flexible reframing. The viewing angle remains unchanged, no matter which way the drone is rotated.
- Spice up your videos by using roll angles to inject some dynamic movement and impact. It can add way more visual flair than just tweaking the view angle.
- If your flight path is smooth and stable, try cranking up the speed on the footage for a more dramatic approach.
Prizes, Prizes, Prizes
Winners will be hand-picked by Sam Newton to receive amazing prizes, including an A1 bundle and other awesome Antigravity goodies.
You have 11 days to capture (download), edit, and share your video!
