Now, camera maker Insta360 is launching its first drone, under a new drone company, to serve that exact demand.
It’s called Antigravity, and in January 2026, it’ll ship a flying 360-degree camera which — unlike today’s drones — will always come bundled with goggles that put you inside its virtual cockpit.
Like the Hover X1, which ditched controllers entirely, it feels like Antigravity might have just unlocked a whole new category of drone.
On the sunny day I flew a prototype in a Northern California park, I remember seeing a few birds fly by.
Even if the Antigravity A1 doesn’t wind up being a winner, I’m now convinced DJI and competitors will follow.
