I'm hearing the pricing is out of line and will come down by quite a bit so I'm not going to be the first to pay more for early access. There is no anti-gravity deadline so buying it later in 2026 should be no big deal.
Antigravity A1 release date set for Dec 4th.

Really a shame that DJI allowed a no-name drone company to beat them to the punch with the world's first 360 drone. They're getting all the good press along with all the features and it's all because DJI didn't face the competition in the market required to continue to drive innovation. Might be too late at this point.
We've been asking for DJI to do so many things now that Skydio is gone but they never found their way. In fact, DJI seemed to have slowed with less compatibility between products and the same feature sets not improved. For example, the AG A1 has skypath which the old DJI drones had but has since been abandoned; the Skydio had it but for camera drones, not the greatest; much better for FPV and a *must* for 360 drones. Will Avata 360 have it? Not likely if they stick with the same old equipment they're using for NEOs and Avatas or else they would have done it already. I guess we'll see.
Watch/playback videos in the goggles? How's the OA? Is it really 8K? So many review videos to go through, stay tuned. I suspect we'll hear a lot about this on the run up to the Avata 360, this is DJIs chance to reign supreme before they wink out in the US.
For those who don't have time to watch all the reviews; here's a quick overview:

Small promo currently at Best Buy, the $1999 package now comes with a $100 BBY gc. It's an early look at more possible holiday pricing to come. Still a bit too much for my liking, I would prefer something about $1499 before I bite.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like the DJI Avata 360 is going to launch before Christmas so it only gives AG more time to get the A1 in line with the lower price predicted for the Avata 360.

Something I've noticed is that the pricing of 'alternative' drones seems to be more or less in line with the now 'normalized' cost of post-tariff Chinese drones... which means that US buyers will be paying well over the actual price of still superior DJI products as they are sold throughout the rest of the world.
For sure, we are being taken advantage of. You have to look really hard for a good deal and even more so if you look outside of DJI drone range (and area I'm not familiar with and therefore less likely to pay the higher price primarily because I'm not getting a superior product to begin with). I'm curious to see what happens after next week.
That happens in any market with tariffs. Add a tariff to raise the price of an imported product, and the prices of domestic products will go up to meet the imported price. The "Chicken Tax" on light trucks is why trucks are high-profit products for US carmakers.
Droning on and on...
