If you thought drones had already reached peak innovation, think again. The new Antigravity A1 — the first drone ever to capture in 8K 360° — is about to change the way we see the sky, explore the world, and tell our stories. Born from a collaboration between Insta360 and pioneering third-party developers, the A1 blends immersive visuals, intuitive controls, and travel-friendly design into one jaw-dropping aerial experience.
A Revolution in Flight
🌐 360° Capture, Completely Reimagined
At the heart of the Antigravity A1 lies its dual-lens camera system, positioned above and below the drone’s body for true all-around capture — with zero blind spots.
Thanks to advanced stitching technology, the drone itself disappears from the shot, leaving behind nothing but clean, uninterrupted footage. When viewed in the goggles or during playback, you’re transported inside the moment, free from distractions.
🕶️ Step Inside the Skies with Immersive 360° Flight
Flying the Antigravity A1 isn’t just piloting — it’s entering another world. Using Vision goggles and Grip controller, you can look anywhere and fly anywhere with FreeMotion technology and responsive head tracking.
Natural. Intuitive.
This lets you gaze in one direction while steering the drone in another, creating an exploration experience so naturally you’ll forget you’re still on the ground. And when you are done? Replay your flights in 360° over and over again, spotting details you missed the first time.
🎥 Built for Creators Who See Every Angle
Whether you’re a travel vlogger, action sports filmmaker, or weekend adventurer, the A1’s 8K 360° footage means you’ll never miss a shot. Like Insta360’s X Series, you can reframe in post, choose any aspect ratio, and create viral-worthy edits with Tiny Planet, horizon flips, and cinematic FPV-style moves — all from a single flight.
Highlight Reels from One Take
Use reframing tools to generate multiple edits, angles, or formats (vertical, horizontal) for different platforms, all from the same original flight.
✈️ Travel-Ready and Rule-Friendly
Weighing just 249g, the Antigravity A1 avoids licensing requirements in most countries. Toss it in a backpack, take it on a hike, or bring it on your next trip — it’s ready to take off in seconds.
🛡️ Safety and Simplicity, Built In
Forget complicated joystick setups. The Grip controller follows your natural hand movements, making flying intuitive for beginners and pros alike. Pair it with the Vision goggles for a seamless 360° live view. Plus, built-in return-to-home and payload detection features keep your flights safe and responsible.
