DAY 01
When the Antigravity A1 arrived on my doorstep today, my first question was why a drone that weighs less than 250g – the magic number that lets you fly it without a licence in most countries – needs such a big box. Turns out it’s because the Insta360 spinoff’s debut effort comes with everything you need to get airborne, plus a bunch more besides.
Beyond the drone itself, even the basic kit comes with a pair of Vision goggles and a Grip controller; my comprehensive bundle also includes a battery charger, enough extra batteries for over an hour of flight time, and a shoulder bag to lug it all around in. My first few hours were spent updating firmware, with even the batteries taking 15mins each.
