Antigravity A1, the World's First 8K 360 Drone, Now Available Globally

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Antigravity today announced the global commercial availability of the Antigravity A1, the world's first all-in-one 8K 360 drone^[1] designed for immersive flight. Following its highly anticipated unveiling earlier this year, A1 is now shipping to consumers worldwide via Antigravity.tech and authorized retailers.

 
Meet Antigravity A1: The future of 360 drone tech

Incubated by Insta360 and third parties, Antigravity launches A1 to redefine the category by merging high-fidelity 8K 360 capture with intuitive motion control. By capturing every angle simultaneously, A1 eliminates the need to frame shots during flight, coining the phrase "fly first, frame later," allowing pilots to focus on enjoying the thrill of flight above all else.

"A1 takes the freedom of 360 capture and gives it wings," said Michael Shabun, Spokesman for Antigravity. "It's rare to see a team translate an idea into a completely new product category."

8K 360 Capture Made Simple

A1 uses a dual-lens, 1/1.28-inch sensor system capable of 8K30, 5.2K60, and 4K100 full-sphere recording. Each flight captures the surroundings in a single pass with no gimbal adjustments or blind spots. In editing, users can create smooth pans, controlled reframes, or effects like Tiny Planet and subject tracking.

Fly with Instinct, Not Joysticks

A1 introduces a new control paradigm designed to make flight feel intuitive and immersive. Instead of relying on traditional dual-stick inputs, A1 responds directly to natural hand movements, allowing the aircraft to follow the operator's intended line with precision.

The system centers on the Grip, a one-handed motion controller that translates movement into controlled, stable flight. FreeMotion Mode interprets these gestures in real time, enabling directional changes and complex maneuvers without conventional piloting techniques.

Paired with the Vision Goggles, this control model places operators inside the flight path. The goggles feature industry-leading Pancake optics and dual 1-inch Micro OLED displays that create a highly detailed visual field. This allows operators to maintain forward motion while freely shifting their viewpoint toward surrounding terrain or points of interest, delivering perspectives previously unattainable with standard FPV systems.

Share the Adventure with Sky Path

The new Sky Path system gives you ultimate control over your flight. It allows pilots to design, save, and automate complex flight routes. Once you've configured the perfect path, you can let A1 fly itself. This frees you to sit back and simply enjoy the journey without touching the controls, or focus purely on creative direction.

Lightweight, Safe, and Sustainable

Weighing just under 249g, the A1 is regulatory-friendly in many regions. It offers 25 minutes of flight time and a transmission range of up to 14km. Designed for longevity and responsibility, it features user-replaceable lenses and a payload detection system that prevents unsafe modifications or weaponization.

Global Recognition

Antigravity A1 launches with significant industry acclaim, having already secured the Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2025, TIME's Best Inventions 2025, the Good Design Award 2025, and the 'Best of Innovation' honor at the CES Innovation Awards 2026.

Pricing and Availability

Antigravity A1 is available for purchase starting December 4, 2025, at the Antigravity Store, Best Buy, and authorized retail partners globally.

China's 15th Five-Year Plan set to bring about fresh momentum for global growth

BEIJING, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) will not only present major opportunities for the country's development, but will also create new momentum for the growth of the global economy, participants said at an international conference that opened on Dec 1.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Understanding China Conference in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, they said this once again underscores that China does not pursue a closed or isolationist path to modernization.

Li Shulei, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, which adopted the recommendations for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan, decided that China will expand opening-up at the institutional level, take the initiative to open wider to the world, create greater space for two-way investment cooperation, and pursue high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.

These key decisions provide the policy guarantees needed for China to share its development opportunities with other countries and advance common development, he said.

Li, who is also head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized that opening-up and cooperation for mutual benefit are integral to Chinese modernization.

Former Ethiopian president Mulatu Teshome said that China's 15th Five-Year Plan demonstrates the country's determination to strengthen the foundations for basically achieving socialist modernization by 2035.

"The Chinese path to modernization offers a new choice to developing countries and particularly to African countries, as well as to the Global South at large, by presenting an alternative model to the traditionally conceived perception of Western-style development," Teshome said.

He noted that the Chinese approach is grounded in national realities and features priorities such as high-quality development, common prosperity, harmony between humanity and nature, and innovation.

"The success stories registered by the 'Chinese path to modernization' model offer a new option to other developing nations, and this option, I believe, can contribute to the realization of a community with a shared future for humanity," he said.

Zheng Bijian, founding chairman of the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy, said the 15th Five-Year Plan again makes it clear that China will never follow a closed, self-isolating path to modernization.

"On the contrary, we welcome the active participation of countries around the world in China's modernization drive, and view China's reform and development as opportunities for the common progress of all nations," Zheng said.

Andrey Bystritskiy, chairman of the board of the Foundation for Development and Support of the Valdai Discussion Club, a Russian think tank, said that China's domestic success has paved the way for it to play a constructive role in promoting the common development of humanity through its own agenda and a distinctive development model.

Bystritskiy added that the process of Chinese modernization has strengthened China's confidence in its own capabilities, reinforced belief in its development path and injected both immediate and long-term momentum into global development.

Since its launch in 2013, the Understanding China Conference has been held eight times, serving as an important platform for cultural and intellectual exchanges and becoming a key window for the world to observe China's development strategy.

This year's event has gathered a record 800-plus participants from home and abroad including officials, scholars, entrepreneurs and representatives of international organizations.
