Insta360 has never played by the usual camera rules. While most brands focus on capturing a single perfect frame, Insta360 builds its reputation on capturing everything, everywhere, all at once. From action cams to pocket 360 cameras, their ecosystem is built around one simple idea: shoot first, decide later. The Antigravity A1 brings that philosophy to the skies, turning Insta360’s signature 360° approach into a drone that sees every angle in a single flight.

What Makes the A1 Different?

The Antigravity A1 records in 8K 360°, giving creators the freedom to fly first and frame later. Missed a perfect angle? No problem - the footage captures it all. You can reframe clips for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or any platform from a single flight. Want a cinematic pan you didn’t plan? Easy. Need vertical clips for social media alongside horizontal footage for your vlog? Done. One flight, infinite edits.

Another standout feature is the drone’s “invisible” effect. With smart lens placement and Insta360’s stitching tech, the drone itself disappears from the footage, leaving only immersive 360° visuals that feel like a camera flying on its own.

Flying Experience and Vision FPV Goggles

Forget old school joysticks. With the Grip Motion Controller and Vision FPV Goggles, flying feels intuitive. Wherever you point, the drone goes, and wherever you look, you see. The goggles act as the command centre for your aerial experience, featuring dual Micro OLED panels with a crisp 2560×2560 resolution for lifelike clarity and vibrant colours even in bright outdoor conditions. Ultra-low latency keeps everything responsive in real time, while the wide field of view creates an immersive sense of being in the sky. Adjustable interpupillary distance and cushioned ergonomics keep things comfortable for longer sessions, and head tracking adds a natural layer of control. Paired with the Grip Motion Controller, these goggles turn flying into a cinematic experience.

Why Creators Will Love It

The A1’s biggest strength is flexibility. One flight can generate multiple angles and formats for social media, vlogs, or cinematic edits. Insta360’s software makes reframing simple, letting creators achieve shots that feel planned, even when they’re spontaneous.

Action Sports: Lock subjects in post with Deep Track, no need to pan perfectly mid-flight.

B-roll: Invisible drone effect keeps props out of the frame, perfect for establishing shots.

The Explorer Bundle makes it ready to fly straight out of the box.
