15 Aug 2025

Insta360 has unveiled the A1, a revolutionary 360-degree drone under its new sub-brand, Antigravity.

The innovative flying machine comes with first-person-view (FPV) goggles and can shoot in stunning 8K resolution.

The unique design of the A1 allows it to capture every angle of a scene, giving users an immersive experience while flying their drones.

Flight control

The A1 drone uses Antigravity's proprietary FreeMotion technology for flight control. This innovative system works with the Vision goggles and Grip controller to provide an intuitive flying experience.

Instead of using traditional joysticks, you just have to point the Grip controller in your desired direction of flight.

The drone also features folding arms for easy transportation and weighs just 249g.

The A1 will be available globally in January next year
Launch details

The A1 drone is set to be launched globally in January 2026. However, there are questions about its availability in the US market due to a possible ban on certain Chinese-made consumer drones over national security concerns.

Insta360 has not yet revealed pricing or bundle details for the A1, but they will be announced closer to the launch date.

The A1 is similar in size to DJI Air 3S
Design innovation

The A1 drone is similar in size to DJI Air 3S, with four propellers and automatic fold-out landing gear.

It also weighs about the same as DJI's drone.

The unique design of the A1 makes it "invisible" to both lenses, meaning you won't see any hint of the quadcopter itself unless you catch a hint of your own shadow.

Headset lets onlookers see your view
Control system

The A1 uses a headset similar to DJI's Goggles 3, but with an added circular screen on the outside of the left lens. This feature lets onlookers see what you're seeing.

Inside the headset, you can look around 360 degrees while still getting information about your speed, altitude, battery life and recording status.

The device captures the full experience around you when filming so that you're not restricted to looking in one direction as you fly around.
