The 360 camera<\/span> company Insta360<\/a> has entered the drone market with a spin-off brand called Antigravity<\/a>. This new company hasn’t released a drone<\/a> yet, but it’s coming soon and will likely have a slightly different take from current market leaders like DJI<\/a>. Antigravity’s drone is expected to feature 360 cameras with 8K resolution. It will also fall under the 250-gram weight limit, meaning it won’t require a license.<\/p>\n

The 360-degree camera makes sense from the company that makes our favorite 360 camera<\/a>, though the usefulness of shooting straight up into the drone is questionable. Think of it as a 360 camera with about 260 degrees of usable footage. This isn’t a new idea. There are mounts to attach Insta360’s X5 camera<\/a> to drones, but it’s awkward to take off and land such pairings, something Antigravity’s drone will likely simplify.<\/p>\n

Antigravity’s new drone should arrive later this month. We’ll have a full review once we’ve had time to test it out. \u2014Scott Gilbertson<\/em><\/p>\n

Ironically, as Insta360 encroaches on DJI’s drone supremacy, DJI is wading into the world of 360 cameras with its first-ever Osmo 360<\/a>. It can capture 8K video at 50 frames per second, slightly outpacing Insta360’s X5 camera<\/a>, which shoots 8K at 30 fps. The Osmo employs a square 1-inch HDR sensor, can connect directly to DJI’s wireless microphones using OsmoAudio, and maintains the Osmo Magnetic Quick-Release system for quick mounting.<\/p>\n

More interestingly, DJI claims the Osmo 360 can shoot 8K video at 30 fps for 100 minutes, which is a full 20 minutes longer than the Insta360 X5. It also only weighs 183 grams, 17 grams lighter than its top competitor. You can shoot with just a single lens at 4K 120 fps, and you can switch between the front and rear lens without pressing pause.<\/p>\n

The Osmo 360 isn’t launching in the US (yet)<\/a>, but it costs $550 and is available globally. Like DJI’s Mavic 4 Pro<\/a> drone, those in the US can still preorder it from retailers like B&H<\/a> and Adorama<\/a>.<\/p>\n
