I have just received my first Drone for 999 Euros, which I chose purely because FPV goggles are included and you pilot much better compared to piloting a Drone just by looking at the screen on a controller.
As soon as I unpacked the things and saw:
* The Drone
* And the Controller
...I can tell you that I got scared. They are so small that the photos and the various videos on YouTube really deceive you.
You say: "Now this is a Drone? And this is a Controller?"
Could they be fake toys? Camouflaged? And yet...
They are incredibly small, but their capabilities are incredible.
Everything came together inside this small black bag (2nd photo), where you can carry the little bag wherever you go.
On any trip.
Just each time you will spend about 5-10 minutes until you take them out of the little bags and get them ready to fly.
And at the end... after the flight, until you put them back carefully into the bags (especially the Drone), it will take you about 5-10 minutes.
.
I had planned to get the "Antigravity A1 Infinity Bundle" with the High-Capacity Batteries, but the Drone would have a label saying C1 category.
That is, you need to get a "Drone Pilot License"
(and renew it every 5 years) because with the High-Capacity batteries the Drone exceeds 249g grams.
.
So I chose this specific Drone
"Antigravity A1 Explorer Bundle" with the Standard-Capacity Batteries (not High-Capacity), because it is (and has a label) C0 category, and thus no "Drone Pilot License" is required as long as it is under 249g grams.
(Not that if I want to load it - Camouflaged - with High-Capacity Batteries, I can't... Who will check you? Will all the Police be carrying precision scales? HaHaHa)
.
Anyway, this whole package of the "Antigravity A1 Explorer Bundle" meaning as a box inside the wrapping (sealed), as soon as you receive it, you wonder: "Did I pay so much money for this small box?"
And as mentioned above, it deceives you. This "Antigravity A1 Explorer Bundle" package should cost less.
Just when you take the Drone out of the little bag, until the moment you put it back into the little bag (after the flight), you will handle it with great reverence, because it seems so delicate that you think even with your fingers you will damage it.
.
P.S.:
Finally, I should mention that the first time you remove everything from the box:
You should dedicate at least 1 hour I would say, or maybe even more, to doing Updates on the following:
* A1 Drone — Firmware Update.
* Vision Goggles — Firmware Update.
* Grip Controller / Motion Controller — Firmware Update.

IMPORTANT:
To "ACTIVATE" (Enable) all 3 above, because I struggled to understand how to Activate all 3 together...
And there are many who do not know how to Update a Drone...
You must have your Smartphone battery full, at least up to 80% for sure, and Data (Internet browsing data, either from a package, or from a promotion, etc...)
And since you have "Mobile Data", and of course the batteries fully charged in:
* A1 Drone
* Vision Goggles
* Grip Controller
You must enable on your Smartphone:
* Wi-Fi
* Bluetooth
* Location
* Data (the data for browsing the Internet)
* Flight Mode turned off, since the Smartphone is used as a Tablet without a SIM card inside.
And you go into the app for your Antigravity A1 Drone, the "Antigravity App", and proceed to ACTIVATE (Enable) according to the instructions of the "Antigravity App".

- The Updates for all 3 devices:
* A1 Drone
* Vision Goggles
* Grip Controller / Motion Controller
are all done together in one step, through the "Vision Goggles"
You do not update each one separately, above.

1ST FLIGHT AND ON EVERY FLIGHT:
IN WHAT ORDER do you TURN ON the devices before the flight:
Grip Controller → Vision Goggles → Drone.
IN WHAT ORDER do you TURN OFF after the flight:
Drone → Vision Goggles → Grip Controller

I have the Avata 2, the Avata 360, but this one does what I can't do with the others; to shoot content in 360 it's magical and super easy in post-processing, it does everything by itself. You become a little professional cinematographer without any knowledge. Also, the immersion with the goggles when you turn your head is incredible.

The future is here. A drone completely different from anything available until today. A unique flying experience and image far from the ordinary. Any comparison with another DJI drone only (because all the others are toys) would be unfair both for this one and for its competitors. A new era begins and the ANTIGRAVITY A1, thanks to INSTA360's expertise, seems to have the upper hand

It is a Drone by Insta360.
No matter how many videos you watch, you won't understand the feeling unless you wear the headset. The sensation of takeoff is extremely realistic.
The motion controller works! After 10 minutes you stop thinking about it and just fly.
Meanwhile, the cameras record everything in 360, the drone is invisible, and the app does the editing by itself (if you want), and does an excellent job.
