Overview
- On sale now in the U.S. at Best Buy and Antigravity’s store, the A1 starts at $1,599 with $1,899 and $1,999 bundles adding extra batteries and accessories.
- It records 8K 360-degree video and uses Vision goggles and a motion-sensing Grip so pilots can point to fly, then reframe footage after capture.
- Early reviews describe intuitive, beginner-friendly flight with obstacle avoidance, autonomous return and landing, and a foldable 249-gram airframe.
- Hands-on testing cites a cumbersome multi-piece setup with goggles and a pendant battery, tricky syncing and file transfers, the need for a spotter, and value concerns versus DJI alternatives.
- Antigravity says footage stays on local storage and only limited activation and safety data are collected, as DJI’s position in the U.S. remains uncertain and an FCC-cleared Avata 360 hints at near-term competition.
