5 Reasons the Antigravity A1 Changes Everything

I am watching as many reviews as I can and so far, I really like what I see. Glad to see it being sold at BBY.

Still would like to see what DJI has to offer but it's going to be hard to beat when you come in over 249g, you are still using a bunch of old equipment (goggles/controller) and it's based on Avata platform. Something tells me DJI can't wait and they are forced to launch now but they're going to have a lot of catching up to do.

Best Buy has a 15% restocking fee on all returned drones, unless you claim a defect upon return. However, because of Holiday Extended Returns, you are not limited to the default of 14 days. It's "returnable" until January 15th.



Also available at B&H with no restocking fee.

I'll probably end up getting it from B&H with no sales tax but it depends on what kind of promo BBY has later on. Their price tends to drop faster than the other retailers but I balked at the 15% restocking fee when I first saw it as well.

The BB workaround exception to the 15% restocking fee on drone returns is claiming any unverifiable defect, like poor range or not getting the advertised flight time. They won't question it.

I've seen little about how it is controlled. By where you look? I see trailers with people holding there arm out. I can't do that. Thus I wait to understand better how the drone is controlled.

also watched lots of reviews.
The goggles look great, although reported to be uncomfortable after a few flights. External battery doesnt really worry me.
Range and signal strength looks sketchy on some reviews and fantastic on others so prob need to wait until some "real" users report their findings
I think an advantage it will have in the 360 space, is that insta software seems pretty good and intuitive for editing the 360 videos and pics.
I do like that you can replay a flight in the goggles and look around as if it was happening live. This is cool.
Im pretty sure Ill make the leap in the new year, just want to see some reviews from our community first.

It can only be controlled by their version of the Motion Controller.
That's a huge drawback for me, too!

The only advantage is seems to offer over the Avata360 is sub 250g for no RID and no FCC registration required with the standard sub 250g battery, but without a spotter, flying with goggles means no VLOS, so you are already in violation of hobbyist exception, and so need a 107, and must therefore register and have RID broadcasting anyway! LOL!

Might as well get the extended batteries pushing it over 250g and get 50% more flight time, but then the Avata360 is undoubtedly the better choice, as I'm sure it will have an RC option instead of only a motion controller.

Yeah rumor says there is an RC coming but I still don't think there is a manual mode so I guess RC is more useful for those who can't get accustomed to the MC. We obviously don't know this for sure but if it's anything like the DJI, the RC will lose a few cool features that you can only get with the MC.....like "head-tracking" on the DJI it makes sense there are some things "the sticks" can't do well, not sure what it is but apparently, RC coming this summer. You have to wonder if it's even compatible with the goggles:
