The Antigravity A1 was officially launched in Malaysia today, making it the world’s first 360-degree drone with a built-in camera capable of recording videos up to 8K.
As a subsidiary of Insta360, the camera technology from the parent company is used on this drone to ensure the footage produced is of high quality. Weighing 249g, it is not only easy to carry but also complies with most drone flight regulations in various countries.
The Antigravity A1 comes with FreeMotion control that allows users to simply point in the direction to fly to make it beginner-friendly. At the same time, it is equipped with two cameras on the top and bottom of the drone’s body to ensure full recording from every angle.
The built-in camera is equipped with a 1/1.28-inch sensor that is capable of producing images up to 55MP as well as 8K video recording. It also comes with smart functions such as Fly First, Frame Later and Sky Genie.
Interestingly, Sky Genie allows users to perform movements that usually require professional pilot skills but can be achieved in just a few seconds.
With just one touch, the Antigravity A1 is able to perform complex 360-degree movements such as Orbit, Spiral and Comet, thus producing cinematic recordings instantly. In addition, a 360-degree obstacle detection system is also included to add a layer of safety during flight.
The Antigravity A1 also offers an FPV mode for those who want more precise control. The uniqueness of the drone lies in the combination of a headset and a controller that can produce a more comprehensive flight experience.
Vision Goggles provide a fully immersive flight experience in 360 degrees while the OmniLink 360 transmission system supports a distance of up to 10km with low latency for more enjoyable control.
In addition, Insta360 technology is used to combine footage from both cameras into a single video with 8K resolution to ensure higher quality recording results.
The Antigravity Grip controller is different from standard drone controllers because it resembles an airplane control stick more, with movements performed through hand gestures.
To fly up, users only need to lift the Grip while to move left or right, they just need to twist their wrist.
In terms of performance, the AntiGravity A1 offers a flight time of up to 24 minutes with a standard battery or 39 minutes with a high-capacity battery.
The Antigravity A1 is offered in Malaysia in three package options starting at RM6,099 for the Standard Bundle, RM6,999 for the Explorer Bundle and RM7,499 for the Infinity Bundle.
