Insta360 Antigravity A1 drone preview: A 360-degree FPV drone unlike anything else

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-24 21:00:34

If DJI is entering the 360-degree action camera market, why shouldn't Insta360 venture into drones? That was my immediate thought when the company announced its first drone, the A1, from a spin-off brand and team called Antigravity. So, what is the A1? Is it an entry-level device? A camera for creators looking to spice up their videos without years of practice? A competitive POV drone? It’s a bit of all three, but the Antigravity A1 isn’t just a drone. It will eventually launch in a three-part

Alex Livesey/Getty Images ZDNET's key takeaways The Premier League is working with Adobe to exploit generative AI. Explorations show customers want to create, not just consume content. Long-term hyper-personalization goals should be approached carefully. The English Premier League football season starts this weekend.

Thanks to this never-ending cycle and the ups and downs on discounts, phone recommendations are always in a state of flux—phones that are good to buy right now may not be the best choice later on, and phones that were skippable early in their release cycle can suddenly become insane value after a price drop.

According to the government, China may use the chips to build up its arsenal of military technology, and it simply can’t have that. At the same time, America’s considerable and longstanding chip export controls may also be aimed at slowing China’s own chip industry.
