Antigravity has officially launched the A1, a groundbreaking drone that boasts the world’s first 8K 360-degree capture capabilities. This innovative product, developed by Antigravity in collaboration with Insta360 and other partners, promises to transform aerial photography and videography. The A1 aims to deliver a unique flying experience, offering users the ability to create immersive content like never before.
Revolutionary Features for Aerial Exploration
At the core of the Antigravity A1 is a sophisticated dual-lens camera system. This setup captures environments in complete 360 degrees, eliminating blind spots. The lenses, positioned on both the top and bottom of the drone, work in tandem with advanced stitching technology. This innovation renders the drone virtually invisible when viewed through the accompanying goggles, providing a seamless and immersive experience for users.
The immersive flight experience is further enhanced by Antigravity’s FreeMotion technology, which allows pilots to fly the drone while looking in any direction. With intuitive hand gestures via a specially designed Grip controller, the A1 separates the act of flying from the surrounding views. This feature allows users to explore the skies while focusing on specific points of interest, significantly enhancing the overall experience.
Designed for Creators and Aerial Enthusiasts
The Antigravity A1 is engineered to fit seamlessly into the lives of creators, families, and travelers. Its lightweight design, weighing only 249 grams, means it meets regulatory requirements in most regions, making it accessible for casual users and seasoned pilots alike. The drone’s compact size facilitates easy transportation, allowing users to launch it quickly and effortlessly.
With a focus on creativity, the A1 enables users to capture stunning 8K footage that can be reframed in post-production. The drone allows for dynamic camera movements, Tiny Planet effects, and horizon flips, which can be utilized to create cinematic first-person view (FPV) style footage. This capability makes advanced editing more accessible, empowering users to produce high-quality content without extensive technical knowledge.
Safety and ease of use are also key considerations for the A1. The Grip controller enables natural hand movements, replacing traditional stick controls. The Vision goggles provide real-time, 360-degree visibility, enhancing the flying experience. The drone comes equipped with safety features, including a return-to-home function and a payload detection system, ensuring responsible usage.
BC Nie, Head of Marketing at Antigravity, emphasized the brand’s vision: “We didn’t want to just build another drone. We wanted to create an entirely new way to fly. A1 is the first step in reimagining flight as something anyone can enjoy—something that is safe, intuitive, expressive, and endlessly creative.”
Antigravity A1 is set to launch globally in January 2026. While final pricing and bundle details are yet to be announced, the company is inviting creators from around the world to participate in a co-creation project. Selected participants will receive a pre-production A1 to test and contribute ideas. The best submissions will be integrated into the final product, with a chance to share in a reward pool totaling US$20,000.
For those interested in becoming part of this innovative journey, applications for the co-creation project can be submitted at www.antigravity.tech/hub. The Antigravity A1 promises to redefine the landscape of aerial storytelling and creative expression.
