XTI Aerospace, Inc. is expanding its drone portfolio through its Drone Nerds subsidiary with the addition of the Antigravity A1, an all-in-one 8K 360-degree aerial platform. Designed for immersive storytelling and surround-view capture, the A1 introduces a fresh approach to creator-focused drones by recording everything around it in a single flight. For professional content creators and enterprise users alike, this means fewer re-takes and more flexibility once the footage hits the editing timeline.
A New Perspective on 360 Aerial Capture
The Antigravity A1 is built around a dual-lens 360 system mounted above and below the fuselage, effectively removing the drone from the final shot. This configuration enables seamless 8K 360 video capture at up to 7680 x 3840 resolution, delivering high-detail immersive footage. Instead of committing to a fixed camera angle mid-flight, users can reframe and choose perspectives during post-production, making one flight far more productive.
For creators working on real estate tours, travel films, inspections, or cinematic projects, the ability to capture the entire environment in a single pass reduces the need for repeat flights. It also helps conserve battery cycles and time on site. The result is a workflow that feels more efficient without compromising visual quality.
Immersive Flight Meets Smart Transmission
Beyond resolution, the Antigravity A1 focuses on the immersive flight experience. When paired with Vision Goggles, users can explore footage in a full 360-degree environment, looking freely in any direction. This changes the way pilots and creators interact with aerial content, shifting from standard framing to exploratory storytelling.
The drone also integrates the OmniLink 360 transmission system, supporting live view at up to 2K at 30fps. This ensures that pilots maintain situational awareness while monitoring capture quality in real time. Combined with forward obstacle sensors and dual fisheye lenses, the platform is engineered to enhance navigation awareness and environmental perception during flight.
High-Resolution Imaging and Flexible Power Options
On the imaging side, the A1 supports 55MP still photos at 10496 x 5248 resolution, making it suitable for high-detail panoramic imagery. Video capture modes extend beyond 8K, with 5.2K and 4K options available for creators balancing resolution and storage efficiency.
Battery flexibility is another highlight. Manufacturer-listed figures indicate up to 24 minutes flight time with the standard battery and up to 39 minutes with a high-capacity option under specific conditions. Flight distance per charge is rated at up to 8 miles with the standard battery and up to 14.3 miles with the high-capacity configuration, depending on environment and usage.
Strengthening the Drone Nerds Portfolio
By integrating the Antigravity A1 into its lineup, XTI Aerospace, Inc. reinforces Drone Nerds’ role as a platform serving enterprise, government, and professional creators. The addition introduces a differentiated 360-degree solution that complements traditional aerial imaging drones already available through Drone Nerds.
The Antigravity A1 and its accessories are now available through Drone Nerds online channels. As part of the broader ecosystem supported by XTI Aerospace, Inc., this launch underscores the companys continued focus on expanding advanced unmanned aircraft solutions. Pricing and availability details can be found through official sales channels, with units currently listed as available.
