Antigravity A1 — Cons
✕8K 360 video tops out at 30fps, while DJI Avata 360 lists 8K 360 video up to 60fps.
✕Uses a 1/1.28-inch image sensor, while DJI Avata 360 lists two 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors (equivalent to 1-inch imaging area in 360° capture mode).
✕Sensing is forward and downward only, while DJI Avata 360 lists omnidirectional vision sensing with LiDAR support.
✕FCC transmission distance is listed at 10km, compared with DJI Avata 360’s 20km FCC transmission claim.
✕Internal storage is 20GB, compared with 42GB on DJI Avata 360.
✕High-capacity battery increases takeoff weight to 291g, which removes the standard-battery sub-250g advantage.
DJI Avata 360 — Pros
✓Records 8K 360 video up to 60fps, ahead of Antigravity A1’s 8K 30fps maximum.
✓Uses two 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors (equivalent to 1-inch imaging area in 360° capture mode) with 64MP effective pixels per sensor.
✓Lists omnidirectional vision sensing supplemented by forward-facing LiDAR and a bottom infrared sensor.
✓FCC transmission distance is listed at 20km, compared with 10km on Antigravity A1.
✓Includes 42GB internal storage, more than A1’s 20GB.
✓Supports 120MP 360 photos, DNG RAW, D-Log M, O4+ transmission, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4.
DJI Avata 360 — Cons
✕Takeoff weight is approximately 455g, so it is much heavier than Antigravity A1 with the standard battery.
✕Max flight time is listed at approximately 23 minutes, behind A1's 24-minute standard-battery and 39-minute high-capacity claims.
✕Drone-only configuration starts at $479 via authorized US retailers, but compatible goggles and motion controller are sold separately; building a complete immersive flying setup adds significant cost on top of the base price.
✕Dimensions are larger than A1's folded travel size.
✕No bundled flight simulator or practice mode is listed in the official DJI Avata 360 feature set, unlike Antigravity A1 which includes a simulator for training before first outdoor flights.
✕It is less focused on the sub-250g beginner-friendly ownership story that helps define Antigravity A1.
Where it shines
✦Capture 8K 360 footage without deciding the final camera angle during flight.
✦Fly with Vision Goggles and a Grip Motion Controller instead of a conventional dual-stick setup.
✦Carry a 249g drone with the standard battery when local rules favor sub-250g aircraft.
✦Use the high-capacity battery when longer creative flights matter more than sub-250g weight.
✦Reframe footage after landing for vertical, horizontal, forward, rear, top-down, or Tiny Planet-style edits.
✦Train with the flight simulator before flying outdoors for the first time.
✦Use Auto Edit, Sky Genie, Deep Track, and one-flight-multiple-angle workflows for quick social clips.
✦Fly with a compact bundled setup that officially includes the drone, goggles, motion controller, battery, case, and spare propellers in the Standard Bundle.
Where it shines
✦Record 8K 360 video at up to 60fps for smoother immersive footage.
✦Use D-Log M when you want more flexible color grading than basic normal color footage.
✦Fly with O4+ transmission in open areas where the longer FCC transmission claim matters.
✦Rely on omnidirectional vision sensing, forward-facing LiDAR, and a bottom infrared sensor for stronger situational awareness.
✦Capture 120MP 360 photos for high-resolution spherical stills.
✦Use 42GB internal storage before adding a recommended microSD card.
✦Fly with DJI controllers and goggles listed as compatible in the official specs.
✦Choose a heavier 360 drone when imaging hardware and obstacle sensing matter more than sub-250g portability.

Our Verdict
Antigravity A1 is the better fit if you want a lighter, more approachable 360 drone with an all-inclusive Standard Bundle at $1,279, sub-250g standard-battery takeoff weight, point-to-fly controls, and the option of much longer flight time with a high-capacity battery. Its biggest advantages are portability, beginner-friendly immersion, and the fact that the drone, goggles, controller, case, and spare propellers are bundled together from the start. DJI Avata 360 is the stronger technical camera drone if you prioritize imaging hardware, 8K/60fps 360 video, 120MP 360 photos, O4+ transmission, 20km FCC range, and omnidirectional sensing with LiDAR support. The main tradeoff is that DJI Avata 360 is much heavier than A1 with the standard battery, and goggles and motion controller cost extra on top of the $479 drone-only base price. Choose Antigravity A1 for travel-friendly immersive flying and a complete out-of-box experience; choose DJI Avata 360 for stronger official specs and higher-end 360 capture performance.
