Platform enables surround-view capture in a single flight to support more efficient workflows for professional creators
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XTI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq: XTIA) ("XTI" or the "Company"), an aerospace technology company focused on building and scaling its Drone Nerds, LLC ("Drone Nerds") subsidiary, a drone platform serving enterprise and government customers, today announced the addition of the Antigravity A1, an all-in-one 8K 360 drone designed for immersive flight, to its product lineup.
Antigravity A1 represents a new approach to creator drones. As a 360-degree aerial platform, the A1 captures its entire surroundings in high-resolution 8K video. Its dual-lens system, mounted above and below the fuselage, removes the drone from the final footage, enabling creators to capture every angle in a single flight, allowing users to revisit and reframe footage during post-production. This feature can help reduce the need for additional flights, potentially conserving time and battery resources. When paired with Vision Goggles, users can view the footage in an immersive 360-degree environment, freely looking in any direction. With the A1, users move beyond traditional piloting to experience a more dynamic perspective of flight.
"Our customers are continually looking for tools that improve efficiency while expanding what's possible from the air," said Jeremy Schneiderman, CEO of Drone Nerds. "The Antigravity A1 addresses both needs by enabling full-scene capture in a single flight and giving creators greater control in post-production. This addition strengthens our product portfolio with a differentiated solution designed for immersive content creation."
"Partnering with Drone Nerds enables us to bring Antigravity A1 to a broader community of professional creators," said Michael Shabun, CEO of Antigravity. "The A1 represents a new approach to aerial storytelling, designed to give creators greater creative control and flexibility while simplifying the capture process. For hobbyists, it offers a new way to experience the world from an aerial perspective, reflecting the sense of exploration and flight that has inspired generations."
