A new consumer drone promises to remove the complexity from flying while capturing full 360-degree video in high definition. The Antigravity A1, which its maker calls the world’s first all-in-one 8K 360 drone, has officially arrived in the Philippines.
Priced starting at Php84,990, the Antigravity A1’s system is built around a headset-first philosophy. Instead of a standard remote, the primary controller is a “Grip” that uses a “point-to-fly” method. By simply pointing the controller, users can steer the drone, a approach designed to eliminate the steep learning curve of traditional dual-stick piloting.
The experience is completed by Vision Goggles. These goggles feature dual micro-OLED displays and mirror the pilot’s head movements in real time, creating an immersive feeling of flight. For experts, a classic manual FPV control mode remains available.
At its core, the Antigravity A1 drone uses a dual-lens 1/1.28-inch sensor system to capture 360-degree footage. It can record video in 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, 5.2K at 60 fps, or 4K at 100 fps. A key feature is the ability to choose the viewing angle after filming, allowing creators to reframe their shots during editing. Built-in stabilization is intended to keep footage smooth.
Weighing 249 grams with its standard battery, the drone falls under widely recognized sub-250g regulations, which can simplify rules for operators in many regions. Its flight time is up to 24 minutes, extendable to 39 minutes with an optional larger battery.
The drone introduces several automated features. A tool called Sky Genie can execute pre-programmed cinematic maneuvers like orbits with a single command. Another, named Sky Path, lets users plot and save automated flight routes for precise, repeatable shots or for sharing the headset view with others during autonomous flight.
This drone also features Deep Track, Insta360’s renowned tracking technology. Virtual Cockpit, on the other hand, lets the user experience flight journeys like never before. While the skins are limited at launch, more skins are coming soon.
The company also emphasized a focus on safety and longevity. The A1 includes a payload detection system meant to prevent unsafe modifications. Its lenses and propellers are user-replaceable, which the company says reduces repair waste.
Antigravity A1 has already received notable industry recognition, including a spot on TIME’s Best Inventions 2025 list and a “Best of Innovation” award at CES 2026.
You can purchase the Antigravity A1 drone in PH via different bundles, depending on your needs. The Php84,990 Standard Bundle, the Php97,990 Explorer Bundle, and the Php104,990 Infinity Bundle all include the drone, goggles, and controller, with differences in batteries and accessories.
