Insta360โ€™s Antigravity unveils 8K full-degree drone, challenging DJI


Antigravity, a drone brand incubated by Chinaโ€™s leading full-degree camera manufacturer Insta360, on Thursday unveiled its first product โ€“ the Antigravity A1 featuring a built-in 8K 360-degree camera and pilot goggles.

The machine is equipped with a dual-lens camera system mounted on both the top and bottom of its fuselage โ€“ a design that mirrors the capabilities of Insta360โ€™s popular X series action cameras, providing complete environmental capture without any blind spots, according to Antigravity.

Included with the drone is a pair of goggles and a hand controller, enabling pilots to fly the craft using a droneโ€™s-eye view. Similar to Insta360โ€™s cameras, the A1 is said to be able to record all angles, allowing footage to be replayed in 360 degrees.

Weighing 249 grams, the A1 โ€œmeets regulatory requirements in most countries and regionsโ€ and is set to hit global markets in January, according to the company.
