Quick Answer: Which Bundle Should You Buy?
Choose the Antigravity A1 Follow Me Bundle if your main goal is to put yourself in the film using Watch and Ring controls. Choose the Remote Controller Bundle if you want to steer the aircraft with two sticks, view the flight through Vision Goggles and arrive with three high-capacity batteries.
At SpeedyDrone's checked prices, the choice is C$949 versus C$2,299. That C$1,350 difference buys a different control system and a larger supporting kit. It does not turn the A1 into a different camera. Both packages centre on A1's 8K 360° recording and the ability to choose your framing after landing.
Make the control decision first. Extra batteries cannot make a goggles-based system the right purchase for someone who wants a wrist-controlled follow shot. Equally, a low entry price will not help a creator who really wants to design the aircraft's movement with familiar sticks.

In this buying guide
Start with Follow Me
You want the aircraft to follow the subject while you use wearable controls.
No is consistent with this choice. Watch + Ring operation does not require Vision Goggles.
If yes, ask about extra compatible batteries. More flying time does not automatically require changing control systems.
Start with Remote Controller
You want both hands on sticks to shape the aircraft's direction and movement.
Vision Goggles are required for this Remote Controller. If you want sticks with a phone or built-in screen instead, resolve that mismatch first.
The three included batteries, hub and Quick Reader support a more complete repeated-shoot workflow.
Before either purchase: confirm a legal operating plan for the actual weight, location and control method.
What's Included in Each Bundle?
The Follow Me package concentrates spending on the aircraft, wearable controls and guarded tracking configuration. The Remote Controller package includes the goggles viewing system and more equipment for repeat flights and file handling. Compare those groups as systems rather than counting every accessory as equally valuable.

“Not listed” describes the checked store offer; it is not a claim about every small factory-supplied item. Confirm wall-charger, cable and memory-card needs before checkout. Neither purchase should be treated as including a Grip Motion Controller simply because older A1 packages used one.
The useful question is which included equipment solves a problem you expect to have. A hub matters when managing several batteries. A Quick Reader matters when moving footage into a compatible editing setup. Vision Goggles matter when you actually want the viewing experience required by the dual-stick controller. None becomes necessary merely because it appears in the larger box.
Hands-Free Follow Me vs Manual Flight Control
The decisive difference is who is driving the aircraft's movement during the shot. With Follow Me, the subject's movement is central and wearable controls manage the tracking experience. With the dual-stick Remote Controller, the pilot directly shapes the route. Both still need a pilot who monitors the operation and can respond when conditions change.
Follow Me: stay in the story
The Watch Remote provides essential flight and capture functions and a subject-selection interface. Antigravity combines positioning information from the wearable system with visual tracking. The Ring Remote adds Drag-to-Fly gestures for repositioning the aircraft relative to the subject. This is more capable than simply pressing record and hoping a subject remains inside a fixed frame.
The practical appeal is reduced dependence on holding a conventional controller throughout a self-filming session. A traveller who wants a view of themselves in an open landscape may value that interaction more than extra batteries or a headset. Antigravity also provides preset Sky Genie moves; these are another way to request a shot, rather than a substitute for checking the route.
Hands-free describes the interface. It does not mean supervision-free, collision-proof or permitted everywhere. The scene still needs suitable space, visibility and a safe recovery plan. Trees, changing subject direction, people entering the area and an unsuitable route remain reasons to stop or change the shot.
Remote Controller: design the movement
Antigravity's new Remote Controller uses a familiar two-stick layout with Modes 1, 2 and 3. Its Fixed View aligns the live view with the aircraft's heading, while the Virtual Gimbal provides composition control. Free View lets the viewing direction explore the scene independently of the flight path. Those are viewing and piloting choices within the A1 system, not different cameras.
This controller requires Vision Goggles. It is not the equivalent of a screen-equipped DJI RC 2, and buying it does not establish a phone-only flying route. Treat the goggles as part of the control system, not an optional bonus you can leave at home for the same workflow. Antigravity's Remote Controller documentation states that requirement.
This route makes sense when planning a reveal, a controlled lateral pass or a sequence in which the aircraft must move for a specific storytelling reason. Familiar sticks can make that intention easier to express for someone already comfortable with them. They do not guarantee smoother results without practice, a suitable site and good judgement.
One hiking-film brief, two purchases
Consider an illustrative brief: a short travel film needs a person moving through a permitted open landscape, followed by a view that establishes the surrounding terrain. If the main missing shot is the person in their own video, Follow Me addresses that problem directly. The buying decision should still include how the pilot will supervise the aircraft and maintain the required visual contact.
If the creator instead wants to choose the precise flight direction, start a reveal at a planned location and repeat several attempts, Remote Controller is the more relevant control route. Its extra batteries support those separate flights. This is a planning example, not footage we have tested or a claim that either package can complete a particular shoot in a set time.
In either case, 360 capture lets the editor select the visible angle afterward. It cannot move the aircraft to a better position, recover a subject hidden behind a solid obstacle or correct an unsafe flight path. Reframing is creative flexibility after capture; piloting still determines where the recording happens.
Battery Life, Weight and Portability
The headline flight times refer to two different equipped aircraft configurations. Both compared packages include high-capacity batteries. The Follow Me specification adds Full-Coverage Propeller Guards; the 39-minute A1 specification is not the same guarded setup.
High-capacity battery + full-coverage guards
Specified takeoff weight: 351 g
High-capacity battery, without those guards
Specified takeoff weight: 291 g
Antigravity measured both maxima at 25°C in still air, with a 5.2K/30fps camera setting but video recording switched off, flying below 50 m until automatic low-battery landing. The published forward speeds differ: 5 m/s for the guarded Follow Me test and 6 m/s for the standard A1 endurance test. The Follow Me test also identifies roughly 15% battery remaining at that endpoint. These are not matched, recorded-video tests of two controllers.
Use the figures to understand the configurations, not to promise a 23- or 39-minute finished recording. Wind, manoeuvres, temperature, recording settings and your landing reserve affect usable time. The manufacturer's Follow Me specifications and A1 specifications give the conditions separately.
Three batteries mean three separate flights
The Remote Controller Bundle contains three high-capacity batteries. Multiplying the stated maximum gives 117 minutes across three batteries, but there is a landing and battery change between flights. That total is not continuous airborne endurance, guaranteed session length or an allowance to fly farther away.
For packing, Follow Me removes the need to carry goggles and a conventional controller for its intended control route. The larger bundle brings more components to prepare, charge and transport, while reducing the need to buy those listed components separately. The stated aircraft weights are takeoff weights, not total packed-system weights. Choose portability around the complete bag you will carry, not just a number attached to the aircraft.
What Do Canadian Buyers Need to Know?
Neither specified setup is a sub-250 g microdrone. The guarded Follow Me configuration is 351 g; A1 with the high-capacity battery used in the Remote Controller Bundle is 291 g. An older advertisement describing a 249 g A1 does not describe either of these equipped configurations.
Transport Canada requires drones weighing at least 250 g to be registered and marked with their registration number. The pilot also needs the certificate appropriate to the operation. Its Basic operations guidance sets conditions concerning visual contact, airspace, separation from people and proximity to airports or heliports. If a planned shoot falls outside Basic conditions, assess the correct operating category and its additional requirements before buying for that use.
Who is supervising while the subject moves?
A wearable and automatic tracking do not remove pilot responsibilities. CAR 901.37 prohibits a pilot from simultaneously operating a moving vehicle, vessel or manned aircraft. Do not read cycling promotional images as permission to pilot A1 while riding. If solo cycling is the reason for the purchase, resolve the Canadian operating arrangement first.
Who is watching the surrounding airspace?
For an ordinary VLOS goggles operation, plan for the visual-observer requirement under CAR 901.38. A live headset view does not replace unaided observation of the airspace and other hazards. Include that person and a safe place for the pilot in the practical plan for a goggles-based purchase.
The applicable Canadian Aviation Regulations govern those responsibilities; Transport Canada's registration guidance explains the weight threshold. A bundle name, propeller guards or obstacle-avoidance feature does not authorize flight near people, through an obstruction or beyond an applicable visual-line-of-sight limit.
For a purchase check, identify the actual equipped weight, the proposed site, airspace, people nearby, who will be pilot and whether goggles will be used. Those answers are more useful than asking only whether the product has Follow Me. Also obtain any required site permission. This section is a buying-planning summary checked October 26, 2026, rather than approval of a particular flight.
Is the More Expensive Bundle Worth It?
The C$1,350 listed-price gap is worthwhile when the Remote Controller system and its supporting equipment answer needs you can name. It is difficult to justify when the only reason is that the larger bundle looks more complete.
Spend more when the workflow requires it
A buyer who wants two-stick flight, accepts the required Vision Goggles and regularly plans several separate flights has a coherent reason to consider the Remote Controller Bundle. Three batteries, the hub and the Quick Reader then support the same intended workflow. The advantage is the included control, power and file-handling arrangement, not a claim that every image will be better.
Compare the actual listed components and any additional equipment you still need. We have not assigned separate retail values to the accessories or claimed a bundle saving, because that would require current matching accessory prices. A larger kit can be convenient without every included item being essential to every customer.
Keep the smaller package when the goal is self-filming
Follow Me is the stronger fit when wearable tracking is the reason you are buying A1 and the legal operating plan is suitable. Spending another C$1,350 on a control route you do not want is unlikely to improve that decision. Start by deciding whether one battery meets the intended session; if it does not, ask about compatible power accessories before switching the entire workflow.
There is also a valid “neither yet” outcome. If you want a conventional controller with a phone display, this Remote Controller's goggles requirement needs resolving. If you expect a registration-free aircraft in either listed configuration, the weight does not meet that expectation. Clarify those points before using a price comparison to choose.
Already own an A1? Check the upgrade path first
A complete new-aircraft bundle may be the wrong starting point. Antigravity's October 2026 announcement confirms an accessory route for existing A1 owners to add the Follow Me experience. The dual-stick Remote Controller is also a separate accessory, with Vision Goggles required. Ask SpeedyDrone to check your existing equipment, current firmware and the accessories you actually lack before quoting another aircraft.
If you are still choosing between A1 and a different aircraft, our DJI Avata 360 versus Antigravity A1 comparison addresses that wider platform decision. This guide's verdict concerns the two new A1 packages, so it should not be read as a new cross-brand performance test.
Final Recommendation
Buy Follow Me for an A1 system built around filming the subject through wearable controls. Buy Remote Controller for deliberate two-stick flying with Vision Goggles and a larger power-and-transfer kit. Choose after confirming the actual Canadian operating plan, not because one package has a bigger number on its price tag.
Before checkout, confirm the exact bundle name, required controls, battery count, registration and certificate needs, plus any charger, storage or existing-equipment questions. If one of those answers is uncertain, contact SpeedyDrone with the shot you want and the equipment you already own.
