Antigravity’s 360-degree drone is 20 percent off ahead of its next update
Insta360 Antigravity A1 is one of the most interesting drones on the market thanks to the included viewing glasses, which offer a 360-degree first-person view through the drone’s cameras (a screen outside its lenses shows what the pilot sees). Its cameras can shoot 8K video at 30 frames per second, or 5.7K at 60 frames per second. And now the company has launched its deepest discounts yet on all plans, slashing 20% off the list price on Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Antigravity through April 16.
The current promotion ends as the company prepares to release a new set of features via a free software update. Before we get into those features, here’s what each plan includes and how much they currently cost. The most affordable bundle, which Antigravity calls the “Standard” bundle, costs $1,279 (originally $1,599). It includes the A1 drone, Vision Goggles, remote control, battery, carrying case and four spare propellers.
The “Explorer” and “Infinity” packages sell for $1,519 (was $1,899) and $1,599 (was $1,999), respectively. They include additional propellers and spare batteries, as well as other accessories not included in the entry level, such as a shoulder bag and charging hub. The most expensive package includes a fast drive for transferring drone footage to other devices, as well as high-capacity batteries instead of the standard batteries included in other tiers.
In February, Antigravity launched a new Flight Simulator mode, which lets you practice flying with the vision goggles without having to pilot the drone. On April 15, the company will launch voice commands to let you trigger certain shooting functions with a command, time-lapse capture in multiple flight modes, and the virtual cockpit. This latest inclusion can insert virtual assets into your view for fun, making it seem like you’re riding a dragon or flying in an airplane cockpit.
Here’s a look at the A1 when we got our hands on a prototype ahead of its launch:
