Insta360 had already announced the Antigravity in August according to rumors, it was supposed to be released in January, but due to DJI&s impending launch of its own 360° drone ;) Antigravity A1
The Antigravity A1 is thus the first 360° drone on the market and pursues an interesting new concept regarding the flight experience. The A1 uses Insta360&s technology to stitch together a 360° 8K image in real-time from the images of an upward-facing and a downward-facing fisheye camera, allowing the pilot to look in all directions via vision goggles during flight, completely independent of the flight direction. Similar to the selfie stick of a 360° camera, the four distracting rotors, which are located exactly in the boundary area between the hemispheres, are automatically removed from the image, so that the pilot has a clear view and seems to float freely in space. According to initial user reports, this is a completely new and impressive experience. Image transmission including control should work up to a distance of 10 km. Meanwhile, a 360° video is recorded, from which any desired image sections can be exported later (naturally no longer in 8K) so flying is completely decoupled from camera operation. ;) Antigravity A1 The A1 is controlled using a joystick that is supposed to intuitively translate hand movements into flight movements (Point-to-Fly control). If it is moved upwards, for example, the drone rises; sideways movements lead to sideways flight. The A1 is rotated using a scroll wheel located on the grip. What is new about the control is the possibility that the flight image exists separately and independently of the flight direction and can be intuitively changed by turning the head. For example, while looking to the left, the drone can be steered to the right using the joystick. ;) Antigravity A1 Automatic obstacle detection is intended to prevent collisions for example, if the pilot is not looking in the direction of flight. The goggles feature two 1" micro-OLED displays with a resolution of 2,560 x 2,560 pixels. There is also an automatic flight mode ("Sky Path") in which the A1 follows a pre-drawn path, allowing the user virtually as a passenger to concentrate entirely on the free 360° view. Unlike the Avata 360, the A1 weighs 249g, making it light enough to belong to the A1 drone category, so it can be flown without a license (registration and insurance are still mandatory in this class). Flight time is 24 minutes with the standard battery or 39 minutes with the high-capacity battery however, with the latter, the flight weight is likely significantly higher than 249g, and the A1 slips into a higher drone class DJI therefore refrained from selling such a battery ("Intelligent Flight Battery Plus") in Europe for the  Mini 4 or 5 Pro. Antigravity A1 ;) Antigravity A1 Antigravity A1 Key Features- 8K 360-degree recording with upward and downward facing lenses - 360° live view and head tracking via the vision goggles. - Intuitive Point-to-Fly control with the Grip Controller. - Fly first, frame later: Never miss a shot thanks to easy post-flight editing - 249g light, drone class A1 - Invisible drone effect through advanced image stitching - Safety features such as Return-to-Home and a payload detection system - Dual 1" micro-OLED Vision Goggles - Two types of control via Motion Control in FreeMotion or FPV mode - 24/39 minutes battery life ;) Antigravity A1 vs DJI Avata 360 PriceThe Antigravity costs 1,399 Euros in the standard bundle with vision goggles, Motion Controller, battery, transport case, and 4 spare propellers, and 1,599 Euros for the Explorer Bundle with two additional batteries and a charging station. It will be interesting to see if DJI will undercut this price and how well the A1&s FPV flight mode can compete with the Avata 360&s true FPV mode thanks to its rotatable camera module. ;) Antigravity A1  more infos at bei www.antigravity.techdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Antigravity A1 - die erste 360° Drohne ist da |
