Technical Specifications of the 8K 360 Drone
At the core of the A1 lies a dual-lens 1/1.28-inch sensor system engineered for comprehensive 360-degree capture. The camera records at 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, with additional recording modes at 5.2K60fps or 4K100fps. The FlowState Stabilization system maintains smooth footage even in challenging wind conditions, while the “fly first, frame later” workflow enables users to select perspectives during post-production editing, including cinematic pans and effects like Tiny Planets.
Weighing 249 grams with the standard battery, the A1 complies with EU C0 class regulations and similar sub-250-gram restrictions globally. Flight time reaches up to 24 minutes on the standard battery or 39 minutes with an optional high-capacity battery. The aircraft features a retractable landing gear system that protects the bottom lens during takeoff while maintaining clear visibility for overhead shots.
Control and Flight Experience
The A1 utilizes a headset-first design where the Vision Goggles serve as a vital component rather than an accessory. Powered by Pancake optics and dual 1-inch Micro-OLED displays at 2560×2560 resolution, the goggles mirror the pilot’s head movements in real-time. The Grip controller’s FreeMotion Mode converts hand movements into precise flight paths through a “point-to-fly” interface, significantly reducing the learning curve compared to traditional dual-stick drones. For experienced pilots, FPV Mode provides classic control dynamics.
The Sky Path system enables pilots to design, save, and automate complex flight routes. Once configured, the A1 can fly autonomously, allowing users to experience the immersive journey without manual control or hand over the Vision Goggles to others regardless of skill level.
Intelligent Flight Features
The A1 incorporates several automated flight modes. Sky Genie executes complex 360-degree maneuvers including Orbit, Spiral, and Comet with a single tap. Deep Track, powered by Insta360’s tracking technology, maintains precise subject framing. Virtual Cockpit overlays immersive elements in real-time, transforming standard flights into creative experiences with options for additional skins in development.
Durability and Safety
User-replaceable lenses and propellers reduce repair times and environmental waste. The A1 includes a payload detection system that identifies excess weight or unsafe modifications, preventing misuse of the aircraft. Antigravity Care offers affordable replacement and flyaway protection plans.
Software Integration and Pricing
The A1 integrates with the Antigravity app and Antigravity Studio desktop software, supporting automatic reframing, color correction, and auto-editing tools. The software’s automatic highlight detection identifies optimal flight moments for instant social-ready clips or professional exports.
Antigravity A1 officially launches on December 04, 2025, with three bundle options: the Standard Bundle at US$1,599, the Explorer Bundle at US$1,899, and the Infinity Bundle at US$1,999. Each bundle includes the drone, Vision Goggles, and Grip controller with varying accessories. The A1 is available through the Antigravity Store, Best Buy, and authorized retailers worldwide.
