- New teaser video reveals official launch date for Antigravity drone
- Price and bundle details still under wraps
- The A1 is a sub-250g drone packing Insta360's camera tech
If, like us, you've been awaiting the Antigravity A1 with bated breath, it's time to exhale. The company just released a short teaser video revealing the 360 drone's launch date – and it's very, very soon.
According to the video, the A1 will be available to order on December 4 2025. Unfortunately, the price and details of any of its bundles are still unconfirmed, but we've been told you will be able to buy the drone on that date.

TechRadar Cameras Editor Tim Coleman had the opportunity to fly a pre-release version of the Antigravity A1 over the summer, and declared it "the most exciting drone for years" with "heaps of potential" due to the way it delivers a completely different flight and video capture experience to existing camera drones from the likes of DJI.

He pointed to the A1's immersive flying style, which uses FPV-style goggles and a motion controller, as a key reason for its appeal. Apparently, it's so simple that a child could master it, particularly given the drone's suite of safety features (including both GPS-powered return-to-home and object sensing) and modest top speed.

(Image credit: Future)The real creative magic happens after your flight ends and you enter the editing process.
The A1 runs on the same "shoot first, frame later" camera technology as the best 360 cameras from Insta360, allowing you to set angles, fields of view and more using the accompanying mobile and desktop apps.
This means you don't need to stress too much over capturing everything during the flight, but can instead point the camera exactly where it works best in post-production. It's a huge departure from the way traditional camera drones operate, and Tim described it as a potential game-changer.

We'll know more next week – and you can expect a full, in-depth review of the Antigravity A1 here too.
DJI not to be outdone
We should also mention that, if rumors are to be believed, the Antigravity A1 might not be the only 360 camera drone in the works.
Market leader DJI is strongly tipped to be prepping its own drone, dubbed the DJI Avata 360, for launch – potentially even by the end of this year.
The Avata 360 will reportedly carry a similar video setup to the DJI Osmo 360 camera, with dual 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors supporting 8K 50fps capture as well as 38MP still photos. As always, we'll bring you updates on this as we get them.
