Antigravity A1 announces the first 8K 360 Drone

Antigravity, the joint venture between Insta360 and third parties, announced the availability of its previously announced Antigravity A1 immersive drone.

“A1 takes the freedom of 360 capture and gives it wings,” said Michael Shabun, spokesman for Antigravity. “It’s rare to see a team translate an idea into a completely new product category.”

Unlike traditional quadcopters, A1 relies on a headset-first configuration. where the Vision Goggles are a vital component of the experience, rather than just being an accessory.

This system is designed to be intuitive from the first takeoff. The Grip controller’s FreeMotion Mode translates hand movements into precise flight paths, allowing users to steer simply by pointing the controller.

This “point-to-fly” simplicity makes A1 significantly easier to master than traditional dual-stick drones, the company claims.

Powered by industry-leading Pancake optics and dual 1-inch Micro-OLED (2560×2560) displays, the goggles mirror the pilot’s head movements in real-time. Together, these three elements combine to create a seamless interface that allows users to have a truly immersive experience of the sensation of flight, rather than simply piloting a drone.

At the heart of A1 lies a dual-lens 1/1.28-inch sensor system capable of recording 8K30fps, 5.2K60fps, or 4K100fps in full 360 degrees. Every flight captures the entire environment in one pass. No gimbal adjustments, no missed angles. The “fly first, frame later” workflow lets users choose perspectives in post, from cinematic pans to creative effects like Tiny Planets or deep subject tracking. FlowState Stabilization ensures the footage remains smooth and steady, even in windy conditions.

Weighing just 249g with the standard included battery, A1 fits in the palm of your hand and complies with EU C0 class and similar sub-250 g regulations worldwide. It offers up to 24 minutes of flight time, or up to an extended 39 minutes of flight time via an optional high-capacity battery, combining portability with performance.

A retractable landing gear system protects the bottom lens during takeoff while maintaining an unobstructed view for invisible-drone shots.

The new Sky Path system allows pilots to design, save, and automate complex flight routes. Once you’ve configured the perfect path, you can let A1 fly itself. Creators can execute precise, repeatable flight paths to stitch together the same route at different times for stunning transitions and effects.

Sky Path also transforms the A1 into something that can be shared. As the drone flies its route autonomously, hand over the Vision goggles to friends or family. It allows anyone, regardless of skill level, to instantly access the joy and immersion of 360 drone flight, turning a solo passion into a group adventure.

A1 comes packed with intelligent tools that make professional results accessible to everyone:

• Sky Genie: Sky Genie takes what professional pilots usually master in years and offers it in seconds. With a single tap, A1 executes complex 360 maneuvers like Orbit, Spiral, and Comet, delivering instant, cinematic results.
• Deep Track: Powered by Insta360’s renowned tracking technology, Deep Track locks onto your subject with unwavering precision, handling framing of your shot, keeping a target centered with superior accuracy.
• Virtual Cockpit: Flight meets fantasy. Through an immersive overlay, take flight in real-time with a dragon, turning a standard flight into a mythical journey. Expect more skins over the coming weeks as A1 releases.
