With DJI currently out of the picture, a new drone brand is looking to take over the skies in the United States. The Antigravity A1 is out and proving to be a nice option for drone videographers to consider, while DJI is facing a ban on its new drones in US markets.

To kick things up a notch, the world’s first 8K 360 drone is getting a new major feature as it is introducing a built-in flight simulator. The company has also announced that it is expanding its US retail availability as well as offering a 15% discount in the US from now until February 9th, 2026.

The Antigravity A1 Updates

As we covered when it was first released, the Antigravity A1 is a new drone brand and flagship product that is aiming to capture the empty skies left in DJI’s exit from releasing new drones in the US. Designed on the power of Insta360’s algorithms, the Antigravity A1 brings a host of unique drone features to its 8K 360 video capabilities.

The big news here with this update is that the A1 is getting a new Flight Simulator, which will be accessible directly inside the Vision Goggles. This feature aims to create a complete virtual flying environment that will be able to replicate the A1’s physics and handling, which can be a nice way for new users to get used to the FPV experience before they send their drones up for the first time.

The Antigravity A1 is getting this new feature starting on January 29th, 2026.

Expanded Access and Discount

Along with the news of this new feature, Antigravity has also announced that the A1 is expanding its availability to more retail stores and Amazon. The company is also quick to point out that it is fully compliant with the FCC “Covered List” update, which ruled out DJI from selling its newest drones in the US.

The Antigravity A1 comes in three bundles (Standard, Explorer, and Infinity) all of which are currently on sale with a 15% discount now through February 9th, 2026. If you’re curious to check out the Antigravity A1 yourself, here are the full specs and purchase options below.
