Insta360-Incubated Antigravity Launches A1: 249g 8K 360 Drone with Headset Control
Antigravity, a brand incubated by camera manufacturer Insta360 and its partners, has officially launched the A1, a lightweight drone weighing just 249 grams. The device features a dual-lens 1/1.28-inch system capable of recording 8K 360-degree video. A key innovation is its headset-first design, which pairs the drone with Vision goggles that mirror the pilot’s head movements in real time, offering an immersive flying experience. The A1 supports a fly-first, frame-later workflow, allowing users to capture the entire environment and adjust framing or perspective during post-production. Control is simplified through a Grip controller that translates hand movements into flight paths, lowering the learning curve for beginners while retaining FPV mode for experts. Additional features include automated Sky Path routes, Deep Track subject locking, and one-tap cinematic maneuvers via Sky Genie. The drone also incorporates safety features like payload detection and user-replaceable components. The A1 became available for purchase on December 4, with three bundle options ranging from $1,599 to $1,999, each including the drone, goggles, and controller.
