Antigravity adds watch and ring controls to its A1 drone
Antigravity has introduced a Follow Me kit for its A1 drone, adding a wristwatch remote and a ring remote.
The A1 uses 360-degree cameras, allowing users to choose what to show in their footage after recording.
The new controls let the drone track and film a person, while users can guide it with hand gestures instead of wearing the original goggles and using its motion controller.
The watch shows a preview from the drone and offers controls for launches, video modes and preset flight moves.
The complete kit costs $799 in the US, while the watch and ring accessories cost $340; the propeller guards are included in the full kit.
The lower-cost setup makes the drone easier to use without a headset, though testing found that the drone can still crash or lose track of its subject.
Antigravity has not given a next update date in the information available.

The full kit, which includes the drone, costs $799 in the US, while the watch-and-ring accessory kit costs $340.
The watch combines visual tracking with built-in GNSS to help the drone follow moving subjects.
Users can also gesture with the ring to move the drone, and use the watch touchscreen to select flight modes and pre-programmed moves.
Reviewers noted limitations, including difficult controls and cases where the drone failed to avoid obstacles or keep tracking.

What people are saying
I’m cautiously impressed.
the A1 is not yet intelligent enough to dodge everything or stay with me through thick and thin.
