Photos: World’s first 8K 360 drone, Antigravity A1, launches with immersive VR controls

The Antigravity A1 drone, launched globally in late 2025, is touted as the world’s first all-in-one 8K 360-degree drone featuring immersive VR controls. It captures ultra-high-resolution 360-degree footage using a dual-lens system and advanced stitching technology that removes the drone’s body from the video in real time. This allows users to reframe and edit shots after flight, providing creative flexibility without needing to aim the camera mid-air. The drone’s lightweight design, under 250 grams, makes it portable and compliant with many regional drone regulations, including the EU’s C0 classification. The A1 introduces a novel FreeMotion flight control system using VR-style Vision goggles and a Grip controller, enabling pilots to navigate through head movements and hand gestures for a natural flying experience. It also supports traditional FPV manual control. Autonomous flight modes like Sky Genie and Sky Path automate complex maneuvers and custom routes, while Deep Track keeps subjects centered in the frame. Safety features
