Briefings
Antigravity reduced the entry price of its drone from $1,599 to $799 by replacing its original headset and motion controller with a wristwatch and ring. This new Follow Me Kit allows users to fly the drone without wearing FPV goggles, making it accessible to beginners who prefer thinking about flying rather than filming. The change was announced in October 2026, with the new kit replacing the previous headset and motion controller entirely.
Key points
- The Antigravity A1 drone's entry price was reduced from $1,599 to $799 using a new Follow Me Kit.
- The new kit replaces the original headset and motion controller with a wristwatch and ring.
Context
The Antigravity A1 drone is a beginner-friendly FPV camera drone that previously required wearing FPV goggles and a motion controller, costing over $1,599. The new Follow Me Kit eliminates these accessories, allowing users to fly the drone without wearing goggles, making it accessible to beginners who prefer thinking about flying rather than filming.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single anecdotal quote from a user and a single product update announcement. No specific dates for the kit's release, sales data, or technical specifications are provided. The claim of halving the price is based on a single user's experience and the stated price reduction, which may not reflect market averages or all available options.
