Antigravity A1 Drone with 360 camera

 Antigravity A1: A New Take on Drones! - YouTube

In this video, Marques Brownlee explores the Anti-gravity A1, a unique 360-degree camera drone that prioritizes a fun flying experience over traditional gimbal-based aerial photography.

Key Features & Capabilities:

• 360-Degree Recording: Unlike standard drones, the A1 features top and bottom lenses that record everything in 360 degrees (8K at 30fps), allowing for flexible reframing in post-production (1:05-1:35).
• Invisible Design: Through stitching software similar to the Insta3 X5, the drone and its propellers are rendered invisible in the final footage (2:05-2:16).
• Immersive FPV Experience: Users wear goggles with a 90-degree field of view to see what the drone sees. An Omnilink transmission allows the pilot to fly in one direction while looking around freely in 360 degrees (4:45-5:09).
• Joystick Controls: The drone uses a specialized joystick instead of dual sticks, which MKBHD finds intuitive for this style of flying (5:40-6:28).
• Safety & Regulatory Compliance: The drone weighs 249g and includes features like obstacle avoidance, auto landing, and return-to-home (3:19-3:38).

Considerations & Feedback:

• Stitching Smudge: There is a slight, noticeable smudge on the horizon line where the two lenses stitch together (8:06-8:23).
• Goggle Comfort: The goggles lack a top strap, which could affect comfort during extended flight sessions (8:48-9:00).
• Learning Curve: While the drone is easy to pick up, flying in public can draw attention, and new users should practice in safe, controlled environments (8:25-8:34).
