Insta360’s Antigravity A1 is one of the most interesting drones on the market thanks to its included Vision Goggles, which provide a 360-degree first-person view through the drone’s cameras (a screen on the outside of its lenses shows what the pilot is seeing). Its cameras can shoot 8K video at 30 frames per second, or in 5.7K at 60 frames per second. And now, the company has launched its biggest discounts yet on all bundles, knocking 20 percent off the list price at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Antigravity through April 16th. Antigravity A1 drone Where to Buy: $1599 $1279 at Amazon (Standard) $1599 $1279 at Best Buy (Standard) $1899 $1519 at Amazon (Explorer) The ongoing promo ends just as the company is set to release a new set of features via a free software update. Before I dig into said features, however, here’s what each bundle includes and how much they currently cost. The most affordable bundle, which Antigravity calls the “Standard” set, costs $1,279 (originally $1,599). It includes the A1 drone, Vision Goggles, a remote control, a battery, a carrying case, and four spare propellers. The “Explorer” and “Infinity” bundles are selling for $1,519 (was $1,899) and $1,599 (was $1,999), respectively. They include additional spare propellers and batteries, as well as other accessories not included in the entry tier, such as a sling bag and a charging hub. The priciest package comes with a quick reader for transferring drone footage to other devices, and high-capacity batteries instead of standard batteries included in other tiers. In February, Antigravity shipped a new Flight Simulator mode, which lets you practice flying through the Vision Goggles without actually having to fly the drone. On April 15th, the company will launch voice controls to let you trigger certain shooting functions with a command, timelapse capture in multiple flight modes, and Virtual Cockpit. The latter inclusion can insert virtual assets into your view for fun, making it look like you’re riding a dragon or flying in an airplane cockpit. Here’s a look at the A1 when we got hands-on with a prototype ahead of its launch: @verge I tried Antigravity, the first drone from Insta360. It’s a flying 360-degree camera with these wild goggles that have a screen on the front, point-to-fly controls, and the ability to film in every direction and piece together dynamic videos afterward! The company says it’s coming to the US for as little as $1,300 or as much as $1,700 if Trump’s tariffs allow and claims it’s standing up a whole Antigravity company to make it happen. #todayimtoyingwith #drone #dronefootage #dronetok #tech ♬ original sound – The Verge
