Antigravity put the A1 on sale today, October 20, in a Follow Me Bundle that costs $799 and leaves out the Vision Goggles and the Grip motion controller every A1 has shipped with since December. In their place come an Insta360-branded Watch Remote and Ring Remote, a set of full-coverage propeller guards and the high-capacity flight battery. The Standard Bundle with goggles stays at $1,599, and the new bundle sells through Antigravity’s site, BestBuy.com and 266 Best Buy stores.
The same announcement, a three-minute video and two press releases out of Los Angeles, adds a dual-stick Remote Controller and a 4G Cellular Module. Antigravity’s UK store sells both today. Its US store answers both product pages with “this page is (currently) unavailable in your country or region.”
The $799 Bundle Weighs 351 Grams and Gives Up 16 Minutes of Flight
The Follow Me Bundle takes off at 351 g (12.4 oz), Antigravity’s spec sheet says, against 249 g for the Standard Bundle. The same high-capacity battery that gives a bare A1 39 minutes delivers 23 once the guards are on.
Top speed falls from 35.8 mph to 24.6 mph (16 to 11 m/s) and wind resistance from 24 mph to 12.1 mph (10.7 to 5.4 m/s). Antigravity rates every figure with the guards installed, and the guards are the point of the bundle. They enclose each propeller so the drone can track a rider or a child through trees and close quarters. The box holds one A1, one Watch Remote, one Ring Remote, four guards, one high-capacity battery, a lens guard, four spare propellers and a crossbody bag. No charger brick, no goggles, no motion controller.
The weight matters for an American buyer. The A1 has sold on its 249 g standard configuration since launch, a figure DroneXL has set against the roughly 400 g DJI Avata 360 more than once, and the $1,999 Infinity and $2,249 Ultimate bundles have always carried the heavier battery and needed FAA registration. The $799 bundle is the cheapest A1 that must be registered and broadcast Remote ID as it comes out of the box. Antigravity’s buy page says as much in a footnote, that takeoff weight exceeds 249 g with the high-capacity battery. A Follow Me buyer who adds the $99.99 standard battery and takes the guards off is back at 249 g.
The Watch Remote is a 44.7 g, IP67 wristwatch with a 1.72-inch touchscreen and a GNSS receiver on GPS, BeiDou and Galileo. The drone fuses that position with its visual tracker, which is how Antigravity says the A1 keeps following a cyclist who ducks behind a tree. Its Bluetooth live view runs at 360p and 15 fps with about 300 ms of latency, out to 490 to 656 ft (150 to 200 m) in the open and 66 to 164 ft (20 to 50 m) around obstructions. The 8.2 g Ring Remote is one button on a strap. Hold it, point at the drone and move your arm, and the A1 follows your hand from up to 33 ft (10 m) away.
Existing owners can buy the watch, ring and guards as a $339.99 accessory kit, listed on the US accessories page at $271.99 under what Antigravity calls a 20% owner discount. Goggle-free Infinity and Ultimate versions of the bundle sell for $1,049 and $1,265, marked down from list prices of $1,169 and $1,409, and a Motion & Follow Me Standard Bundle with goggles costs $1,789. The buy page labels that goggles-plus-watch upgrade ”+$100” on both base bundles, and the video description says the same. The Infinity pair is priced $100 apart. The Standard pair is $190 apart.
The Dual-Stick Controller Antigravity Promised for Summer Sells in the UK for £52
Antigravity’s Remote Controller is a 256 g, two-stick transmitter that supports Mode 1, 2 and 3, runs five hours on a 2,300 mAh battery and needs the Vision Goggles to fly. The UK store sells it for £52, down from £65. The US store does not sell it.
This is the product Antigravity’s FAQ said was coming in summer 2026, which DroneXL flagged in its coverage of the April spring update as the answer to the most consistent complaint about the A1, from pilots who want sticks rather than a wand. It arrived on October 20 with a new Fixed View that locks the goggle image to the drone’s heading so a pilot can frame with the Virtual Gimbal, alongside the existing Free View where head and drone move independently. It talks to the goggles over a 33 ft (10 m) link, and two of its buttons are customizable.
The press release says nothing about which regions get it. Its footnotes say product availability may vary by region for all three products, and that 4G services, data plans and network availability may vary by region for the module.
The 4G Module Covers US LTE Bands but Lists Coverage Only for China and Europe
The 4G Cellular Module is an 11 g box with a built-in eSIM that takes over the A1’s video feed whenever the OmniLink 360 link drops. One module costs £95.20 in the UK plus a data plan, and Antigravity lists coverage for mainland China and Europe only.
The UK product page lists FDD-LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 25, 26 and 66, bands the US carriers run on, next to the European and Chinese ones. It names no US carrier, and the US store returns the same regional block as the controller. A drone-plus-goggles pair of modules costs £220.80, each with its own plan.
Antigravity first showed the module at IFA in Berlin on September 4 and said then it would be available by the end of September. It went on sale three weeks late, with two conditions the IFA announcement did not mention. It cannot be used with any propeller guard, so it rules out the Follow Me Bundle’s main safety feature, and it cuts flight time to 29 minutes on the high-capacity battery and 17 on the standard one, at a takeoff weight over 249 g either way.
Since December 22, 2025, the FCC’s Covered List has barred new equipment authorizations for foreign-made drones and the components the agency’s determination names as critical, a list that includes controllers and data transmission devices, as DroneXL reported the day the order came down. The A1 itself was authorized before that date, and Antigravity said in January that its import, sale and operation continue without restriction. Whether that order is what keeps a controller and an LTE module off the US store is something Antigravity has not said, and the word “currently” on its block page is the only hint it has given that the block is temporary.
DroneXL’s Take
The Follow Me Bundle is the first A1 configuration I would hand to a parent without a lecture, and it costs half of what the goggles kit did when I first flew the A1 last December. Antigravity has also delivered the two things reviewers asked for most, a stick controller and a goggle-free way to fly, nearly four months after MKBHD said the ring remote was still in development.
The cost is the number Antigravity built the A1’s marketing on. Regulation-friendly 249 g is still the headline on the buy page, and the cheapest A1 you can now order weighs 351 g at takeoff, which puts a $799 family drone in the same FAA registration and Remote ID bracket as the Avata 360 that opened US orders at $719. An American buyer who wanted the sticks or the 4G range gets neither, and I would not expect a conventional controller for a Chinese-made drone to clear FCC authorization quickly under the Covered List as written. Buy the bundle as the easiest 360 follow-me drone on the market, and budget five dollars and ten minutes for the FAA registration it now needs.
