Antigravity A1 Follow Me: the 360° drone flying on the wrist

Filming alone a hike or bike trip normally requires a choice between driving a drone and living the moment. The new Follow Me set for the Antigravity A1 is trying to reduce this compromise: a screen watch and a ring replace the FPV helmet and transform the 360° drone into an autonomous cameraman. The idea is attractive, but the first tests recall that "autonomous" does not mean infallible.

A watch to take off, track and frame

Announced on October 20, 2026, the Follow Me Bundle brings together the A1, a Watch Remote, a Ring Remote, goal protectors, a bag and all-wheel protections. The watch is used to select the subject, launch or land the device, activate the return to the starting point and select the tracking modes. His GPS chip works with visual tracking to help the drone find his subject after a brief obstruction.

The ring adds the Drag-to-Fly function: by holding the button, you move the hand to bring the drone closer, away or reposition it. Automated trajectories also produce orbits, spiral climbs and other kinematic movements. This is an important evolution for the A1, which previously required Vision glasses and a sign controller for its main experience.

Film first, choose the angle then

The A1 uses two 1/1.28 inch sensors, placed above and under the device, to record up to 8K at 30 frames per second. The software assembles the sphere and erases the drone from the image. This allows you to reframe the video after the flight, switch from a front view to a rear view, or create multiple mounts from the same sequence. TechRadar found the follow-up excellent during race, skateboard and cycling, including between trees.

This freedom distinguishes the A1 from the conventional small drone-followers, which record a determined angle in flight. It also reduces the risk of missing framing when moving quickly. Antigravity asserts that the GPS of the watch improves tracking during obstruction; This claim remains with the manufacturer, although the TechRadar test is encouraging.

Prices and availability in Canada

The Canadian Antigravity store displays the Follow Me set of accessories to $371.99 CAD on promotion, against a current price of $464.99 CAD, for owners of an A1. The shipment is estimated within 14 days at the time of verification. In the United States, the complete drone package is displayed at US$799, but a reliable Canadian price for this precise configuration was not visible; No approximate conversion is therefore proposed.

The price may vary depending on configuration, retailer, promotion and region. The manufacturer also warns that the availability of the 4G module, data packages and networks varies across the country.

Limits and Considerations

Automatic tracking does not replace pilot vigilance. The Verge reported three collisions during its trials, including near electrical wires, thin branches and haubans. The journalist also observed a slow watch interface, several steps before the start of the follow-up and a tendency of the drone to drift to a nearby street or property. The protections, however, helped the aircraft to withstand the impacts.

Weight should also be monitored. A1 weighs 249 g in its light configuration, but [Follow Me configuration with high-capacity battery and protections reaches 351 g] (https://www.antigravity.tech/si/drone/antigravity-a1-follow-me/specs), for an announced flight time of up to 23 minutes. In Canada, [any drone of 250 g or more must be registered] (https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/drone-safety/registering-your-drone), and it falls into the category of small drones, with the applicable pilot certificate depending on the operation. Protections count in the operational weight.

Finally, avoidance sensors do not necessarily see very fine obstacles. We must keep the aircraft in sight, check airspace and avoid treating an automated mode as permission to fly near people.

Conclusion

Follow Me Bundle makes the Antigravity A1 more accessible and convenient to film alone. His real innovation is not only the wrist control, but the combination of automatic tracking and a 360° video that he frames afterwards. However, independent results are shared: spectacular in some situations, the system can still encounter obstacles and requires an attentive pilot. For creators who absolutely want 360° capture, the idea is strong; For others, cheaper drone-followers remain more rational.
