A dual-lens 1/1.28-inch sensor system capable of recording 8K30fps, 5.2K60fps, or 4K100fps in full 360 degrees is the heart of the new Antigravity A1 drone, which introduces  a new class of drone: the 360 Drone.

Unlike traditional quadcopters,  the A1 relies on a headset-first configuration, where the Vision Goggles are a vital component of the experience, rather than just being an accessory. So, if you see someone that looks a bit like a Martian, with antennas emerging from their head, look up, because a A1 drone may be hovering above you.

The Vision Goggles, are, in fact, an essential part of the flying package. Powered by industry-leading Pancake optics and dual 1-inch Micro-OLED (2560×2560) displays, the goggles mirror the pilot’s head movements in real-time. Also key to the experience is the Grip controller, which confirms that the system is designed to be intuitive from the first takeoff. The Grip controller’s FreeMotion Mode translates hand movements into precise flight paths, allowing users to steer simply by pointing the controller. The experience is fully realized when the Grip is paired with the Vision Goggles. Together, these three elements combine to create a seamless interface that allows users to have a truly immersive experience of the sensation of flight, rather than simply piloting a drone.

“A1 takes the freedom of 360 capture and gives it wings,” said Michael Shabun, spokesman for Antigravity. “It’s rare to see a team translate an idea into a completely new product category.” In fact, this “point-to-fly” simplicity makes A1 significantly easier to master than traditional dual-stick drones, removing the steep learning curve that often prevents people from experiencing flight. However, A1 grows with you; FPV Mode remains fully accessible for pilots who demand classic control dynamics.

At the heart of A1 lies a dual-lens 1/1.28-inch sensor system capable of recording 8K30fps, 5.2K60fps, or 4K100fps in full 360 degrees. Every flight captures the entire environment in one pass. No gimbal adjustments, no missed angles. The “fly first, frame later” workflow lets users choose perspectives in post, from cinematic pans to creative effects like Tiny Planets or deep subject tracking. FlowState Stabilization ensures the footage remains smooth and steady, even in windy conditions.

Weighing just 249g with the standard included battery, A1 fits in the palm of your hand and complies with EU C0 class and similar sub-250 g regulations worldwide. It offers up to 24 minutes of flight time, or up to an extended 39 minutes of flight time via an optional high-capacity battery, combining portability with performance. A retractable landing gear system protects the bottom lens during takeoff while maintaining an unobstructed view for invisible-drone shots.

Antigravity notes that “the new Sky Path system gives you ultimate control over your flight. It allows pilots to design, save, and automate complex flight routes. Once you’ve configured the perfect path, you can let A1 fly itself. This frees you to sit back and simply enjoy the immersive journey without touching the controls, or focus purely on creative direction. Creators can execute precise, repeatable flight paths to stitch together the same route at different times for stunning transitions and effects.

Sky Path also transforms the A1 into something that can be shared. As the drone flies its route autonomously, hand over the Vision goggles to friends or family. It allows anyone, regardless of skill level, to instantly access the joy and immersion of 360 drone flight, turning a solo passion into a group adventure.

Antigravity says that the A1 comes packed with intelligent tools that make professional results accessible to everyone.

Sky Genie: Sky Genie takes what professional pilots usually master in years, and offers it in seconds. With a single tap, A1 executes complex 360 maneuvers like Orbit, Spiral, and Comet, delivering instant, cinematic results.

Deep Track: Powered by Insta360’s renowned tracking technology, Deep Track locks onto your subject with unwavering precision, handling framing of your shot, keeping a target centered with superior accuracy.

Virtual Cockpit: Flight meets fantasy. Through an immersive overlay, take flight in real-time with a dragon, turning a standard flight into a mythical journey. Expect more skins over the coming weeks as A1 releases.

Here is some more information, shared by Antigravity, about the new drone:

A1’s user-replaceable lenses and propellers make the drone easy to repair, cutting down on return shipping and material waste. For added peace of mind, Antigravity Care offers affordable replacement and flyaway protection, keeping everyone flying with confidence.

A core part of this design is the payload detection system, a first for consumer drones in this class. This smart safeguard actively detects excess weight or unsafe modifications, preventing the drone from being used for purposes it was not designed for. This technology ensures the A1 remains a force for fun, creativity, and exploration, never the opposite.

A1 integrates seamlessly with the Antigravity app and Antigravity Studio desktop software. The software supports quick transfers, automatic reframing, color correction, and auto editing tools. From instant social-ready clips to professional-grade exports, creators can manage their 360 workflow in one connected ecosystem.

The editing process is designed to be powerful yet easy to use. The software’s automatic highlight editing finds the best moments from your flight, allowing creators to get polished, ready-to-share videos with just a single tap.

Since its unveiling, Antigravity A1 has received some of the industry’s highest honors, including the Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2025, TIME’s Best Inventions 2025, the Good Design Award 2025, and the ‘Best of Innovation’ title in the CES Innovation Awards 2026. A1 was also the recipient of 20 awards from top media outlets at the recent IFA 2025.

Antigravity A1 is now officially available in key markets, in three bundles:

• Standard Bundle — US$ 1,599
