360 degrees drone, unlike anything else

If dji enters Movement cameras market 360 degreesWhy should I Insta360 not fly on drones? That was my instant idea when the company announced the first drone, A1, from a cross brand and a team called anti-.

So, what is A1? Is it a device for beginners? A camera for creators looking to spice their videos without years of training? A competitive POV drone? It is a bit of the three, but the anti -Jawra A1 is not just a drone. It will be eventually launched in a group of three parts: airline unit, OLED VISION GOGLES and a dedicated Motion Motion control unit.

In its current form, Antomatic A1 weighs about 249 grams (8.8 ounces), which helps it get rid of the requirements of drone licensing in most areas. (Since it is a pre -production model, this may change slightly before it reaches retail. It is like Insta360 x5 camera It is a type of cocoon to combat A1.

With the two camera units, the A1 can capture the 8K video, stretching through a ball -like fabric from the drone. With sewing algorithms that the company has constantly improved more than five generations of 360 -degree cameras, and this should lead to smooth shots where A1 never cut off the width. The drone will not appear in your video. It is like a “invisible” personal stick for the company, but, well, in the sky.

The A1 plane does not differ into any other drone that you played-something I learned when it experienced the pre-production unit in the Mercedes-Benz race in Schlüsselfeld, Germany. Of course, these cars include high -speed, wet conditions and some near short palaces.

Thanks to the work in Engadget, I am Drone Dabbler, but the A1 A1 is a different experience from the beginning. The A1 control includes connecting and directing accompanying glasses from the perspective of the first person, which is an affordable console. However, unlike other drones, you can search (and move) anywhere you want.

In nearly 15 minutes of flight time (you can see the prominent points here), I found it amazingly an intuitive experience. With other FPV drones, your width is locked in the direction of the camera. Certainly, you can rotate drones competing to see them elsewhere, as with DJ embodiesAnd it is not the same. Since the A1 360 -degree video clip is to glasses, playing your head will never affect the direction you face. Instead, you will only see what is about drones as it flies, making it easier for rising drones. Best of that, you can swing and move while searching elsewhere-like video game control items for the first person.

This freedom of movement is raised by a unique A1 console, which is best described as a mix between a traditional drone unit and WiIMOTE. While some physical buttons and faces adjust the height, video recording start/stop and more, guidance includes a click a click. When you move your hand to the right side, the retina appears on the Gogles screen. The pressure on the trigger and then the release of the A1 will lead in this direction, a procedure called anti -clown control.

As I mentioned, this means that I am not forced to search for the place I will go to – although it is better to avoid accidents (or collision with expensive Mercedes). If you are fascinated by FPV drones, this is a simpler experience that you feel more free. You can look anywhere you want, not the debtor to the place where cameras are directed on other drones. I also think I can get friends and family flying A1 with minimal training. When talking about the spectators, Insta360 guarantees their smart touch: the glasses contain an external screen so that the spectators can see what is happening. There is nothing faded by watching another person flying a drone without being able to see POV.

A1 is a small drone, and is supposed to be thanks to its low weight. But even in this production stage, the resulting video looks better than I thought. In addition, it provides a great diversity if you are looking for moving footage.

After I tested the A1, I sent me Antigravity my video from the drone, so I was about to reformulate and re -put the shots. You can even use the same 10 seconds and frame (or crops) to three very different angles. For example, you can extract a car tracking snapshot, a bright snapshot of the drone pilot or only the blue sky of Germany from one clip. This is the exciting part here.

Insta360 has built excellent editing tools (mobile devices and desktop) for their cameras in the past, and plans to do the same for the first drone. There was no early version of the program without hiccup factors, but the editorial was easy enough to discover that the key frames would prove the drone’s viewpoint. I can then add several key frames together, and put signs on the objects I want to keep in the frame or track. I started freeing my shot to get fun in a strange way, and I have never I enjoyed this task.

Another feature The company confirmed is the discovery of the load. Although the exact weight limit is still improved by performing more tests, Antirgravity says that A1 will not be able to fly if the drone discovers that it carries something that should not – a step for more possible licensing problems. The company also alluded to future accessories and peripheral devices to expand the A1 experience – which it has done successfully through work cameras and boy.

Some specifications are still a mystery because the drone is a continuous work. To this end, the company Opening applications For the participation construction project, where the participants will get anti -gravitational pre -production A1 to make notes. Ideas of these laboratories will be combined in the final retail version, and the best ideas can win a share of the awards of $ 20,000.

The A1 airline has been the most enjoyable race that enjoyed a long -term drone. However, with a customized glasses and a custom control unit, what is the cost of the trip? This may decide whether the Insta360 views can descend a place next to the DJI drone.
