The DJI Competitor Got Unveiled

Antigravity, a new drone brand started by Insta360 and other partners, has officially unveiled its first product, the Antigravity A1 Drone. Set to go head-to-head with DJI, the A1 stands out as the first drone capable of shooting 8K 360° video. Its dual-lens system, mounted above and below the body, can capture the entire scene without blind spots, and Insta360’s stitching tech ensures the drone itself disappears from the shot. At 249 grams, the A1 also stays under common weight limits, making it easier to fly in most regions without extra restrictions.

The drone comes with Vision goggles and a new Grip controller that ditches the usual twin-stick setup. Instead, pilots steer by moving the controller and looking around with the goggles, which track head movements. The result should be a more natural flying experience, with the drone going where you point while you explore the view in real time. The A1 also borrows features from Insta360’s cameras, like the ability to reframe footage in editing, switch angles after the fact, and add effects such as Tiny Planet or horizon flips.

Most of the specs are still under wraps, including exact flight speed, battery life, and detailed video recording options. Antigravity says pricing and bundle info will be announced closer to the official launch in January 2026. Until then, the company is running a co-creation program where selected testers can fly pre-production units, share feedback, and even compete for part of a $20,000 reward pool.
