Meet Antigravity A1: The World's First 360° Drone

Antigravity A1 is not just a new drone. It is a transformative flight experience designed from the ground up to change how we explore, film and tell stories. As the world's first drone with integrated 8K 360-degree capture, Antigravity A1 brings a new dimension to aerial creativity. This bold innovation is the first product from Antigravity, a consumer drone brand developed by Insta360 in partnership with leading tech collaborators.

By blending immersive visuals with accessible flying technology, the A1 doesn’t just fly, it places users directly inside the scene. For creators, explorers and professionals across the UK, this is the next step in aerial storytelling.

Total Immersion With Every Flight

Antigravity A1 uses a dual-lens system to capture everything around it in 360 degrees. With advanced image stitching software, the drone literally disappears from its own footage. No blades, no arms, no shadows. Just pure immersive content.

This invisible drone effect enables a totally seamless viewer experience. Live feeds are uninterrupted by hardware and post-production footage looks like it was shot by magic. Every flight becomes a blank canvas where the only limit is imagination.

Your Eyes In The Sky

The A1 pairs with Antigravity’s custom Vision goggles and Grip controller to deliver FreeMotion, a flight system that redefines immersion. Pilots can look in one direction while flying in another. It feels intuitive, fluid and instinctive.

This level of control gives users the freedom to explore like never before. You are not just piloting a drone; you are experiencing flight from within. And once the drone lands, the immersion continues. View captured footage in full 360, again and again, discovering new details with every watch.

Edit After The Adventure

Forget worrying about lining up shots mid-flight. With 8K 360 capture, every angle is recorded at once. Pilots can focus on the experience rather than the framing. Later in editing, footage can be reframed in any aspect ratio without losing resolution.

Creators can apply signature effects like Tiny Planet, horizon flips and dynamic camera moves. For those familiar with Insta360's X Series, the workflow will feel familiar and intuitive. The A1 offers professional-level flexibility in post without the usual complexity.

Built For Portability And Peace Of Mind

At just 249 grams, Antigravity A1 is below the registration threshold in most countries, including the UK. This means it offers hassle-free flying without additional licensing. Its compact build makes it easy to transport and quick to deploy, ideal for creators on the move.

Safety has also been prioritised. A return-to-home function ensures pilots never lose their drone. Meanwhile, an onboard payload detection system prevents modifications or misuse, reinforcing the drone's storytelling-focused purpose.

Availability And What Comes Next

Antigravity A1 is expected to launch globally in January 2026. While final pricing and bundle details are still under wraps, anticipation is already building. As the market's first all-in-one 360 drone with live view, real-time control and editing-ready footage, the A1 is set to become a game changer.
