Antigravity, an Insta360 brand
A1 8K 360

Can the Antigravity, an Insta360 brand A1 8K 360 be imported and sold in the United States?

The answer

Reported authorized before the cutoff

Reported to have been authorized before the 22 December 2025 cutoff, on public sources rather than on a grant record we have loaded ourselves. Treat it as reported until we have. If it stands, that authorization attaches to the model and survives, so this aircraft may still be lawfully imported, marketed and sold, including newly built units. What cannot happen is a NEW authorization, for a new model or a revision needing a fresh grant. Two live risks sit on top: the FCC has proposed in PS Docket 26-189 to withdraw import and marketing rights from already-authorized foreign aircraft it calls military grade, and CBP can detain specific shipments independently. That proposal has not been adopted, so nothing has changed for this aircraft yet.

The status is reported in public sources we consider reliable, but we have not yet loaded the underlying record. We do so before any quote.

From the board

Launched eighteen days before the cutoff and got authorized in time. Our pick of the non-DJI prosumer aircraft still lawfully sellable here.

Who can buy it, and with what money

Two different gates. Whether a platform may be sold at all is set by FCC authorization and binds everyone. Whether a particular buyer may spend a particular kind of money on it is set by procurement law and binds public money only. The same machine can pass one and fail the other.

A public agency
Not with this money

Foreign produced. Federal procurement rules and most public grant terms bar public money here, and a public buyer should treat it as unavailable until their own counsel or grant officer says otherwise. Several states restrict it by statute as well. When we compiled this on 27 August 2026 we found statutory restrictions in Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Connecticut and Nebraska. That is a sample of what our search turned up, not a complete or authoritative list, and this law changes and varies, so check your own jurisdiction. You may still lawfully own one with private money.

The drone rule, which came first

Drones sit under a different and earlier action. On 22 December 2025 the FCC added all foreign-produced uncrewed aircraft systems and their critical components to the Covered List, with no weight gate. Aircraft authorized before that date keep that authorization, and the FCC has said the update does not prohibit the import, sale or use of models it previously authorized, so newly built units of those models may still be imported and sold. What cannot happen is a new authorization for a foreign-produced model. A US-produced aircraft sits outside that entry entirely, so no expiry runs against it. Foreign-produced aircraft rely instead on the Blue UAS exception, which runs to 1 January 2028. Blue UAS Cleared and Blue UAS Select are two different lists and we name which one an aircraft is on. Which aircraft a public buyer may put budget against is a separate question again, set by the American Security Drone Act for federal buyers and by state statute for a growing number of state and local ones, so confirm the rule that binds your own money before you commit it.
