Antigravity A1 Review: A 360-Degree Drone

The world's first 360-degree drone is fun all around, if you don't mind the steep price or wearing goggles to control it. As someone who has been reviewing camera drones for over a decade, it's rare for me to encounter one that feels genuinely new. While DJI's continual stream of steadily improving, ever-reliable drones almost always impresses, what Antigravity has done with its first-ever product, the A1, essentially invents an entirely novel subcategory: the 360 drone. Using the same shoot-first, frame-later technology as the Insta360 X5 (Antigravity is technically a distinct company from Insta360, but the brands have close ties), the A1 has twin cameras to capture everything around it, allowing the user to reframe the footage later using mobile or desktop apps. Each of the cameras uses a 1/1.28-inch sensor and an ultrawide lens to capture a hemispherical view.
