Insta360’s Anti-Gravity Drones Challenge DJI and Competitors

Key Takeaways

1. DJI is entering the 360-camera drone market with its budget-friendly Osmo 360.
2. Insta360 is responding to DJI’s advancements by introducing two anti-gravity drones.
3. Early images of Insta360’s drones suggest a design similar to DJI mini drones.
4. The weight of Insta360’s drones is expected to be under 250 grams, typical for camera drones.
5. There is no confirmed release date for the Insta360 drones, and their final name remains uncertain.

Interesting developments are taking place in the drone industry. DJI is stepping into Insta360’s established domain with its upcoming and seemingly budget-friendly Osmo 360. Meanwhile, Insta360 seems to be taking a proactive stance against DJI by introducing two anti-gravity drones. Recent leaks have shown early images of what looks like Insta360’s initial counteraction against DJI. The drones, dubbed “Antigravity,” are expected to be a direct answer to the new DJI Mini 5 Pro, DJI Flip, and DJI Neo.

Speculation on Specifications

Details regarding the specifications of these first drones from Insta360 remain under wraps, aside from a clear glimpse of the dark Flip/Neo-like Insta360 drone in one of the images below. The alternative to the DJI Mini is still largely hidden behind a privacy cover, but its design, featuring four foldable propeller arms, is strikingly similar to the typical DJI mini drones.

Weight and Launch Uncertainty

It remains uncertain how much the two drones will weigh, but it’s likely they will be standard camera drones weighing less than 250 grams. The question of whether “Antigravity” is merely a working title or the final name for the product is still unanswered. Unfortunately, there is no word on a release date yet, as only these images have surfaced, so it could be a while before the first Insta360 drones are officially launched.
