Antigravity has released the A1, a drone featuring the first 8K 360-degree camera system [1, 2].

This launch represents a shift in aerial cinematography by providing a single-flight solution for full spherical capture. By eliminating the need for multiple flights or complex stitching from different angles, the device aims to streamline the workflow for professional content creators [2].

The A1 utilizes a dual-lens camera to capture true 360-degree footage [2]. The hardware was detailed in a sponsored presentation by tech reviewer Marques Brownlee and officially announced in February 2026 [1, 7]. Distribution for the product involves XTI Aerospace, with operations referenced in Englewood, Colorado [3].

Promotional offers for the device vary by platform. A report from Mashable cited a discount of $300 [4]. However, a promotional video from Brownlee offered a 25% discount on the A1 [5], alongside a 20% discount on accessories during Prime Day [5].

Additional incentives were offered to early adopters. The first 25 buyers were eligible to receive a free flight battery, and a double-lens replacement kit [5]. These offers were tied to promotional windows spanning 2024 and 2025 [4].

The company designed the A1 to expand creative possibilities for those requiring high-resolution immersive video [2]. By integrating 8K resolution into a 360-degree format, the manufacturer intends to provide a level of detail previously unavailable in single-drone spherical captures [1].

“The A1 is marketed as the world’s first 8K 360-degree drone.”

The introduction of 8K 360-degree capabilities in a single drone reduces the technical barrier for creating immersive VR and cinematic content. While traditional drones require multiple passes to simulate a full environment, the A1's dual-lens system allows for a more efficient capture process, potentially disrupting the high-end aerial production market.
