After teasing what’s about to come a few weeks ago, Antigravity, a new drone brand incubated by Insta360 and third-party collaborators, has announced its first product: the Antigravity A1. The company positions the A1 as the world’s first all-in-one drone capable of capturing 8K 360-degree video without the need for an external camera attachment. According to the company, the Antigravity A1 8K 360 Drone is designed to merge high-resolution immersive capture with a simplified, gesture-based flight control experience. At the core of the A1 is a dual-lens optical system, with one lens mounted above the fuselage and the other below. This top-and-bottom configuration allows for full environmental coverage with no blind spots. Advanced image stitching technology processes footage in real time to remove the drone’s body from view, producing clean, uninterrupted 360 imagery when viewed in the Vision goggles or during playback. This stitching process is key to the “invisible drone” effect. It enables pilots and viewers to feel fully immersed in the aerial perspective without the distraction of propellers or drone structure appearing in frame. It’s going to be interesting to see how “seamless” the stitching will really be if you fly closer to objects, since there is quite a gap between the two lenses. Antigravity A1 8K 360 drone in flight.

This separates the pilot’s viewing direction from the drone’s flight path, a departure from traditional FPV systems. Using the included...
