Insta360, famous for its 360-degree cameras, is launching Antigravity, a new drone brand in August 2025. Designed to make flying and filming easy, their first drone, under 249g with an 8K 360-degree camera, is for both beginners and experienced creators.
Antigravity is all about accessibility and does so by avoiding complex features for simplicity. Developed with third parties, the sub-249g drone avoids recreational registration in many countries and has an 8K 360-degree camera. This is all about effortless operation to help you can focus on creativity and not technical challenges.

The drone’s controls are designed to make aerial filming as easy as taking a smartphone photo. For families, travelers or casual users, it’s quick to launch and record, without a steep learning curve like traditional drones.
The 8K 360-degree camera, using Insta360’s dual-lens expertise, captures the entire scene, so you can reframe footage post-flight to focus on any angle, whether it be hikes, sunsets or cityscapes, without needing to frame in-flight. This makes content creation so much simpler, giving you more control in post-production.
Safety features like payload detection to prevent risky modifications ensure compliance with tightening drone regulations, making the drone a reliable tool for creative exploration. Plus, the Antigravity Hub platform allows you to share your ideas and shape future products, while offering rewards for adopted suggestions.
Details like battery life and control methods are still under wraps, but leaks suggest two models: a compact one with enclosed propellers for agility and a foldable one for portability. Both have dual fisheye lenses for seamless 360-degree footage, so the drone is invisible in the video, promises clutter free aerial shots.
Insta360’s success with action cameras, challenging GoPro with user-friendly 360-degree models like the X5, gives them credibility. Their 2022 Sphere accessory for DJI’s Mavic Air 2 was a preview of this. Antigravity puts Insta360 in the game with DJI, leveraging their imaging expertise in a market that’s ripe for innovation.
