Drones Reinvented: 5 Reasons the Antigravity A1 Changes Everything

You've seen drone footage before. You may have even flown one.

But unless you've flown Antigravity A1, you've been looking at the sky through a keyhole.

Traditional drones demand that you be a pilot first and a creator second. You have to worry about stick sensitivity, gimbal tilt, wind direction, and obstacle avoidance, all while trying to get the shot.

It’s stressful. It’s outdated.

A1 is the world's first 8K 360 drone*. Rather than upgrade what the market offers, why not reinvent it?

That was the founding mission of Antigravity. Rethink drones and how we use them.

Read on as we share some of the core reasons behind A1's release, and how our mission is setting the stage for some of the most exciting takes on flight out there.

Record Everywhere, All At Once

With a standard drone, the camera only sees what you point it at. If a bird flies past your left wing, or a whale breaches behind you, tough luck - you missed it.

A1 records everything, in every direction, all the time (so long as you hit record!).

That means you don't need to be a skilled pilot to get cinematic shots. You can fly straight forward, completely focused on the flight path, knowing that the drone is capturing the mountains behind you, the river below you, and the sky above you in 8K resolution.

Once you've landed, sit back and choose the best angle, or simply enjoy what you captured in full 360.

Better yet, with our intuitive editing in-app or on computer, you don't need to be a master editor to put together stunning shots. From complete automatic highlights to the powerful effects. Tool after tool, ready to help build jaw-dropping clips.

Aspect Ratios? History

We live in a multi-screen world. You need horizontal video for YouTube, vertical video for TikTok, and square video for Instagram. With traditional drones, you have to decide before you fly which format you are shooting in.

With A1, aspect ratios are dead. Because you are capturing a 360-degree sphere, you can export the same flight footage in 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 without losing quality. One flight gives you content for every platform. You never have to choose between "cinematic" and "social-ready" again.

If You Can Point, You Can Fly

Traditional controllers look like they belong in a cockpit, covered in switches and sticks that can take weeks to master (some would argue it takes months or years!). A1 replaces that complexity with the Grip controller.

This motion controller works with your natural instincts. Want to fly forward? Squeeze the trigger.

Want to turn left? Simply point, and the drone moves in that direction. Our FreeMotion Mode removes the barrier between your brain and the drone. It’s liberatingly easy, allowing you to focus on the view rather than the mechanics.

A True "Out of Body" Experience

Most FPV goggles just show you a video feed. Vision goggles transport you. We cannot stress this enough.

Because A1 captures in 360, your view isn't locked to the drone's nose. You can fly forward while looking sideways, or look down to see the ground rushing past.

This level of immersion is powered by dual 1-inch Micro-OLED displays with a stunning 2560x2560 resolution per eye. Combined with our advanced Pancake optics, the image is crystal clear from edge to edge, making the world feel tangible.

If you've been waiting to feel fully immersed in flight, A1 is the solution.

Fearless Flight (Replaceable Lenses)

The biggest fear for any drone pilot is scratching the lens. On most drones, a scratched lens means sending the entire unit back for costly repairs and weeks of downtime.

A1 was built for the real world. It features user-replaceable lenses that you can swap out in minutes. If you clip a branch or kick up some gravel, you just twist off and twist on a new lens in no time.

Just like that, you’re back in the air. Simple.

The Bottom Line

Antigravity A1 was born to challenge an industry that has hit a ceiling. We believe flight should be an instinct, not a skill test.

By stripping away the complexity, we’ve created a truly unique experience with lower stress and barrier to entry. It’s time to make flight less like work and more like wonder.

A1 is out now via our Official Store and authorized distributors.

*The term "world's first" refers to the fact that, as of July 28, 2025, Antigravity has announced the market's first 8K all-in-one 360 drone. It captures high-quality 360 video directly without the need for an external 360 camera attachment. The drone features a built-in 360 camera, supports real-time data transmission, and allows users to adjust shooting parameters on the fly.
