Last year’s Antigravity A1 is the best beginner drone I’ve ever tried. I put a friend who’d never flown into its virtual cockpit and didn’t worry one bit. The A1’s also nice for people who’d prefer to think about flying rather than filming, because you can reframe its 360-degree footage after.
But until today, that meant wearing the company’s FPV goggles and spending upwards of $1,599 on the complete set. Now, Antigravity is halving the price of entry to $799 in the US with a new “Follow Me” kit that replaces the original headset and motion controller with a wristwatch and ring instead.
The idea is that Antigravity can be your robot cameraman, automatically flying, following, and filming you with a minimum of gear.
