New hardware releases from DJI and Antigravity highlight advancements in consumer drone capabilities. The Antigravity A1, developed in collaboration with Insta360, focuses on 360-degree cinematography using dual ultra-wide-angle lenses to capture 8K video. To simplify operation, Antigravity released the ‘Follow Me Bundle’, which replaces traditional FPV goggles and motion controllers with a 1.7-inch touchscreen smartwatch and a gesture-based Ring Remote. This kit utilizes AI-driven DeepTrack technology and GPS to maintain subject tracking around obstacles.

In parallel, DJI introduced the Air 3, a portable device weighing approximately 720 grams. It features a dual-camera system, omnidirectional obstacle detection, and a flight time of up to 46 minutes, supporting 4K video and vertical formats.
