Antigravity A1: A 360° immersive flight experience that makes you feel like you’re flying

At the heart of the Antigravity A1 is a dual-lens 360° camera system positioned above and below the aircraft, capturing omnidirectional footage with no blind spots. Furthermore, the drone’s unique advanced stitching technology completely removes the drone from the live view and recorded footage through the goggles, providing pilots with a clean, immersive video experience that makes them feel as if they’re actually there.

One of the key features of this drone is its unprecedented immersive flight experience. The drone, Vision Goggles, and Grip Controller work together to create a new style of free-flowing exploration of the sky. Antigravity’s unique Free Motion Mode and highly responsive head tracking allow pilots to freely navigate their surroundings with head movements while controlling the drone with intuitive hand gestures. This allows the direction of gaze to be separated from the direction of flight, creating an aerial experience that truly makes you feel like you’re there.

Don’t miss a shot. Unleash your creativity with 8K 360° shooting

The Antigravity A1 inherits the functionality of Insta360’s popular X Series, making it easy for anyone to capture 8K 360° panoramic footage from the sky. Because all angles are recorded, you can freely recompose the shot after shooting, ensuring you’ll never miss a photo opportunity. It’s also possible to export multiple angles from a single video in various aspect ratios while maintaining high image quality, dramatically expanding the freedom of expression.

The lightweight 249g aircraft complies with drone regulations in many countries and regions, making it safe for first-time users. Developed as a convenient yet powerful aerial photography tool, it is ideal for content creators, families, travelers, and beginners.

The future of drone piloting made possible by the Grip Controller and Vision Goggles

The Antigravity A1 is designed for simplicity. Unlike traditional stick controls, it is controlled with the Grip Controller, which responds to natural hand movements, making it intuitive even for beginners. Furthermore, by connecting it to the Vision Goggles, you can fly with a 360-degree view in real time, allowing you to freely explore unknown spaces.

Safety has also been taken into consideration, and the inclusion of a cargo detection function prevents misuse and unauthorized modifications, ensuring that operation is limited to the purely enjoyable purposes of aerial photography and exploration.

BC Nie, Head of Marketing at Antigravity, commented:

The Antigravity A1 is scheduled for a global release in January 2026. Details such as the final price and included contents will be announced closer to the release date. The company is currently seeking participants from around the world for a co-creation project to shape the future of the product.
