"The A1 is a compact aircraft, weighing just 249 grams. Folded, it measures 5.56 x 3.79 x 3.2 inches; unfolded with its propellers extended, it reaches 12.15 x 15.05 x 3.51 inches. That weight is especially notable because it means recreational pilots won't have to register the drone with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). In the United States, all drones that weigh 250 grams or more need to be registered, so it clears the threshold by a single gram."
"Across its body, the A1 carries eight individual cameras, each equipped with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, f/2.2 aperture, and an ISO range of 100 to 6,400. Harnessing the magic of Insta360 software, these cameras all work together to record 360-degree hemispherical footage. You don't see the sphere at once; instead, the drone routes its video feed directly to the goggles and narrows it down to a 65-degree field of view. You physically turn your head to see the rest of the scene."
The A1 is a compact, foldable drone weighing 249 grams with unfolded dimensions 12.15 x 15.05 x 3.51 inches and folded dimensions 5.56 x 3.79 x 3.2 inches. It carries eight cameras, each with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, f/2.2 aperture, and ISO 100–6,400, which combine via Insta360 software to capture 360-degree hemispherical footage at 8K. The drone streams a narrowed 65-degree field of view to goggles, requiring head movement to explore the scene. The 249-gram weight exempts recreational pilots from FAA registration in the U.S. Antigravity is a new Insta360 sub-brand, and Antigravity Studio serves as the proprietary editing app. The A1 prioritizes simplicity, appealing to first-time pilots, though it may not suit all use cases.
