Antigravity drone takes off with a new way to shoot

Insta360 unveils Antigravity a new drone company and a flying 360 camera with goggles slated for early 2026.

Antigravity drone reshapes filming with 360 degree view

Insta360 is launching Antigravity as a standalone drone company. The A1 drone will ship with a 360 degree camera and built in goggles, aiming to put you inside the flight rather than behind a controller. The company plans to bring the product to the United States, though full specs and pricing have not been released. The A1 is in the sub 250 gram class and resembles a small DJI Mini, but the user experience centers on head mounted viewing.

Reviewers say the 8K capture across every direction enables postflight reframing, letting creators zoom and pan after the flight. However the image quality drops when you zoom and the headset link is not yet on par with top rivals. The device leans toward slow flight rather than a thrill ride and the front sensors are aggressive. A traditional controller and propeller guards are in development, and the company has not disclosed range or battery life.

Antigravity could reshape how people tell aerial stories. By removing the need to chase a subject with the controller, it lowers the skill threshold and invites a broader audience to fly. At the same time a camera that sees in every direction raises questions about privacy and how regulators will treat this kind of wearable drone.

Whether the venture succeeds depends on access to the US market and on how well the tech actually works at scale. If it takes off, expect imitators and a quick race to improve safety, reliability, and price. The broader trend may be a shift toward wearable flight experiences that blend cinema with on the move capture, which could push existing players to rethink their designs.

The tech push continues, but safety and privacy must keep pace.
