A1 Follow Me Kit
A drone-tracking kit launched by Anti-Gravity that uses a GPS watch to control a drone so it automatically follows and captures 360-degree footage, without requiring a remote controller or headset.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Anti-Gravity A1 Follow Me Kit controls the drone via a GPS-equipped watch, replacing a traditional remote controller or headset.
The drone can automatically follow the user and capture 360-degree footage, avoiding obstacles such as trees and fences along the way.
The A1 has a leading mode in which the drone can fly ahead of the user and adjust its route according to changes in the user's direction, provided a bird's-eye view is maintained.
In testing, the drone still collided with thin twigs, and after hitting a thin branch the watch immediately indicated the crash location, with little damage to the body.
The full Follow Me Kit is priced at $800, half the price of last year's wand-and-goggles solution.
With the headset removed in the new solution, users re-frame shots via the watch screen and buttons, but there is no real-time video feed, so the captured image cannot be precisely previewed.
In complex environments, the drone occasionally drifted into neighbors' yards or even hit plants, exposing the shortcomings of path planning in complex environments.
