The Antigravity A1 makes a big deal of it being not only under 250g, but actually not able to fly if it's made to be over 250g through additions, while DJI screwed up the Mini 5 Pro by making 249.9 +/- 4g and then having it turn out most of the drones they shipped are more like 251-253g making them not qualify for microdrone status in most countries other than the EU.
The other issue is price. The Avata 2 clocked in at US$999 (including Goggles 3 and Motion Controller 3) and Antigravity is rumoured to hit the same price point with their Ai (also including their goggles and motion controller).
If they can hit the same price, or better offer just the drone and keep it compatible with the Goggles 3 and Goggles N3 (which the current Avata 2 are), then it has a serious shot at stomping on the A1.
A few days ago I was thinking that the problem with the Insta360 Antigravity is thst it can't record high quality standard footage when close to subjects due to the stitch line being precisely in the middle of the shot. I thought DJI should design their drone so that the two oposing cameras can tilt 90 degrees, thus having one of them facing straight forward (with ability to tilt up to 90 degrees up and down while filming) for the best quality standard footage (similar to filming in single lens mode with a 360 camera). Lo and behold, it seems that DJI has gone ahead with the far superior design I imagined just a few days ago. I get the feeling the Antigravity will be DOA. As always, well done DJI!
The DJI Avata 360 is on its way to receiving a global release. In the meantime, more details about DJI's upcoming 360° drone have emerged that indicate the Avata 360 could be more versatile than the long-awaited Insta360 Antigravity A1.
