Combining traditional stability and FPV creativity

On the CES 2026 show floor, Antigravity CEO Michael Shabun talks about what makes their 8K 360 degree drone different than any other drone on the market. Chuck had some time in the flying cage and talked to Michael about his surprises with the 360-degree viewing. Michael explains how the drone, Grip controller, and Vision Goggles create a "become the camera" experience, combining traditional stability with FPV creativity. They discuss both personal and commercial applications that become possible with the Antigravity's feature set.
