On December 4th, Yingling Antigravity, jointly incubated by Insta360 and a third - party, officially launched its first consumer - grade drone, the Yingling A1.

The Yingling A1 uses technological innovation to break down the traditional drone control logic into two independent systems: flight operation is controlled by a motion - sensing remote controller, while the viewing perspective is determined in real - time by head movement, thus completely decoupling flight control from the viewing perspective. It is the first system in the industry to integrate 360° panoramic image capture, immersive first - person view (FPV), and motion - sensing control mode.

The Yingling A1 system mainly consists of three core hardware components: the drone main unit (A1), the flight goggles (Vision), and the motion - sensing remote controller (Grip).

Specifically, the Vision flight goggles of the A1 adopt a lightweight Pancake optical structure, with the overall weight controlled at 340 grams. The goggles are equipped with dual 1 - inch Micro - OLED displays inside, with a single - eye resolution of up to 2560×2560, providing users with a clear and detailed visual experience. In terms of battery life, the goggles support up to 150 minutes of continuous use. When users wear the goggles, through the OmniLink 360 panoramic image transmission system, the 360° real - time images captured by the drone will be synchronously transmitted to their field of vision. This image transmission system can reach a maximum transmission distance of up to 10 kilometers under FCC standards, ensuring the stability of the images during long - distance flights. Users only need to turn their heads to freely view the surrounding environment, and this action will not interfere with the drone's established flight direction and speed, ensuring the independence of observation.

On the control side, the Grip motion - sensing remote controller changes the traditional joystick logic and provides a more intuitive "point - to - fly" motion - sensing control method. Users only need to lift their fingers in the target direction and pull the trigger, and the A1 will respond to the command and fly in that direction. This design lowers the control threshold, allowing users to focus more on the flight experience itself. At the same time, to meet the professional needs of advanced users, the system also retains the complete FPV mode, allowing users to switch back to the traditional control logic for precise operations when needed.

The imaging system is another core of the Yingling A1. The fuselage is equipped with a dual - lens panoramic imaging system based on a 1/1.28 - inch sensor, supporting the recording of 360° panoramic videos at a maximum of 8K@30fps. It also supports high - frame - rate recording at 5.2K@60fps and 4K@100fps, and integrates FlowState anti - shake technology to ensure stable images. This panoramic recording method fundamentally revolutionizes the aerial photography process: users do not need to be distracted by composition and framing during the flight, and a single flight can completely record all the environmental information of the surrounding 360°. After the material is captured, users can freely crop the same panoramic material through post - production software and export flat videos with different compositions such as front - view, top - view, and surround - view.

In addition, the supporting software also provides a deep - tracking function, which can automatically identify and lock the subject in the frame and correct the offset during shooting; the intelligent camera movement function allows users to trigger complex camera movement effects such as tail - flicking, spiral ascent, and elliptical circling with a single click.

In terms of hardware design and safety, the Yingling A1 is optimized for daily high - frequency use scenarios. The overall weight is only 249 grams, meeting the no - registration or simplified flight regulations in most regions of the world. The fuselage structure adopts a replaceable lens design and is equipped with an automatic landing gear to protect the lower lens during takeoff and landing.

In terms of battery life, the standard battery can provide about 24 minutes of flight time, while the long - range battery can extend the time to about 39 minutes. To ensure flight safety, the A1 is equipped with an intelligent obstacle - avoidance system, which uses fisheye lenses to achieve all - round perception, and the obstacle - avoidance strategy uses a front - view system consistent with the flight direction. In addition, the system also integrates a load - detection function, which can identify the external weight or non - original modifications in real - time to ensure that the device is only used for the intended experience and creation purposes.

The Yingling A1 is officially available for sale on the Yingling official website and the official flagship stores on Tmall, JD.com, and Douyin starting from today. During the launch period, the official offers three version combinations for consumers to choose from: the standard version includes the A1 main unit, the Vision flight goggles, and the Grip motion - sensing remote controller, with a discounted price of 6,999 yuan (original price 7,999 yuan); the standard - battery three - battery version adds additional batteries and accessories on the basis of the standard version, with a price of 7,999 yuan (original price 9,399 yuan); the long - range - battery three - battery version is equipped with long - range batteries and accessories, with a price of 8,499 yuan (original price 9,999 yuan).
