The Rules of Flight Have Changed: Unboxing the Antigravity A1

For too long, capturing cinematic FPV footage meant spending hundreds of hours in a simulator or risking thousands of dollars in a crash. The alternative? Boring, static shots from traditional camera drones.

With Antigravity's A1, we've gone beyond simply bridging the gap. We've demolished it.

As the world's first 8K 360 drone, it combines uncompromising image quality with a control scheme carefully designed to feel intuitive. Flight truly made seamless, and more immersive.

With 360 capture means you never miss a shot, and its sub-249g weight class means it’s ready to travel whenever you are.

If you're still doing research, or you're one of our early pioneers, keep reading to catch some of the game-changing features that make A1 simply like no other experience out there.

8K 360 Means You Never Miss

With a traditional drone, you have to be a pilot first and a filmmaker second. Sometimes that means you don't even get to enjoy the experience, either.

If your framing is off by an inch, your shot can be ruined. A1 solves this with our philosophy of shoot first, frame later.

Because it captures the entire environment in 8K 360, the drone doesn't need to be pointing at the subject. Simply fly, and then choose your angle in post-production once you've wrapped up flying. Front, back, side, or top-down, it’s all there.

Motion Control: Fly with Instinct, Not Joysticks

Forget the steep learning curve of dual-stick controllers. A1 uses the Grip controller, a motion-powered, one-handed controller that translates your hand movements directly into flight. Point up to ascend. Point forward to fly. Twist your wrist to steer. It gamifies the flight experience, turning complex maneuvers into intuitive gestures. If you can point a flashlight, you can fly the A1.

True Immersive Flight

Most FPV drones just strap a screen to your face. The A1 Vision Goggles put you inside the flight.

As we capture in real-time 360 degrees, your view isn't locked to the drone's nose. Fly forward while looking sideways at a passing cliff, or look down at the river rushing beneath you.

It is a true out-of-body experience, one designed to really make you feel as if you're flying.

This is where Sky Path also changes the game. Draw a complex flight route in the app, and the A1 will fly it autonomously with centimeter-level precision. While the drone handles the flying, soak in the view like a passenger in your own personal aircraft.

The fun doesn't stop there, either. With Virtual Cockpit, you're able to overlay skins onto your interface. Flying over snowy peaks? Switch to the Dragon skin and feel like you’re riding a mythical beast through the mountains.

Auto Editing - Edits for You

Great footage is useless if it sits on your SD card forever. The A1 app features Sky Genie, an automated shooting mode that executes complex cinematic moves (like orbits and ascents) with a single tap. Once you land, our editing tools help you reframe your 360 footage, track subjects automatically with Deep Track, and export a polished video in minutes.

The Golden Weight: <249g

The best drone is the one you have with you. Weighing in at just 249g, the A1 falls under the critical weight limit for registration and training in many regions*, folding down to the size of your palm, making it the ultimate travel companion for creators who want to move fast and light.

The drone also features an industry-first payload detection system, preventing unsafe modifications or the carrying of unapproved weight. This ensures A1 remains a tool for pure creativity and exploration, keeping flight safe and responsible.

What’s in the Box?

Opening the A1 feels like unlocking the future of flight. While the contents vary depending on the bundle you choose, every A1 box is packed with the essentials to get you airborne immediately:

• Antigravity A1 Drone: The heart of the system.
• Vision Goggles:FPV-style goggles to immerse yourself in the experience.
• Grip Controller: Our intuitive motion controller.
• Flight Battery: To power your flight.

Which Bundle is Right for You?

We know every pilot has different needs, from the weekend warrior to globetrotting professionals. Here is how the lineups stack up:

*Note: When using High-Capacity Batteries, the total weight will exceed 249g. Always check local regulations before flying.

Ready to Break the Mold?

The industry has spent the last decade trying to make you a better pilot. We decided to make the pilot irrelevant.

With Antigravity A1, don't worry about framing, don't worry about crashing, or even regulations. We've removed the barriers so you can focus on the only thing that matters: the feeling of flight.

The sky isn't the limit anymore. It's a playground to explore.
