A 799 USD watch-and-ring kit turns the Antigravity A1 into a hands-free riding drone. What follow-me filming means for motorcyclists, and the real limits.

Every rider who has watched a drone follow a motorcycle through a mountain road knows the shot: the camera gliding behind you, the whole bike in frame, no chase vehicle. The hard part has always been control. If you are on the bike, your hands are busy, and the original Antigravity A1 asked you to fly it with a headset and a one-handed motion controller. The Follow Me Bundle, announced October 20, 2026, changes the setup for riders: a watch remote on your wrist and a ring remote on your finger, and the 249 g (8.8 oz) 8K 360-degree drone tracks you on its own for 799 USD complete.
Why a 360 drone specifically matters for motorcycles: because it captures everything around it, you do not need to nail the framing mid-ride. Film the whole pass, then choose the chase angle, the side profile or the pull-back reveal afterward. On a bike, that "fly first, frame later" approach is not a luxury, it is the only realistic way to get usable footage while riding.
You pick yourself as the tracking target on the watch remote's touchscreen, hold the ring remote's button, and go. The watch's built-in GNSS plus visual tracking algorithms keep the lock on a moving rider, and hand gestures can nudge the drone left, right, up, down, closer or farther, which is handy at a stop. Because the watch sits under or over your riding glove and the ring is a simple button, the control burden on the bike is close to zero. At 249 g (8.8 oz) with propeller guards included, the A1 is also light enough to carry in a tank bag or pannier without thinking about it.
Riders should go in with clear eyes. Early field tests flag tracking caution around power lines, utility infrastructure and thin branches, and a curving tree-lined road is exactly where those live. Add the practical riding realities on top: wind along exposed coastal sections pushes a 249 g (8.8 oz) drone around, launch and land only from safe, legal ground away from traffic, and keep the drone within visual line of sight as most aviation rules, including Transport Canada's, require. A little pre-ride planning, a chosen launch pull-off, a checked battery, and a practiced stop-and-start routine matter more here than with a regular action camera, because you are managing airspace as well as footage. The wearable batteries run roughly five hours paired with the drone, fine for a day of stops, not for a full tour without charging. The straps are described as delicate, so glove-on, mount-and-road-vibration durability is a real question. And follow-me riding means planning: launching from a safe pull-off, checking local drone rules, and accepting that the drone will not read blind corners for you.
If you already own an A1 like I do, the accessory kit at 340 USD (reported 272 USD for original-configuration owners) is one of the cheapest meaningful upgrades in moto filming, and I would take it over another action camera without hesitating. If you are buying from scratch, 799 USD for the complete bundle is a far better entry point than the 1,599 USD goggle-era Standard Bundle was, unless first-person flying is the part that appeals to you. Touring riders who film the Cabot Trail type roads will get the most out of it: sweeping coastal sections with pull-offs are exactly where this bundle earns its price. Track-day riders need to check facility rules first; many circuits prohibit drones entirely.
Disclosure: this is an analysis of Antigravity's official announcement and early hands-on reporting, not a hands-on review of the Follow Me Bundle. I own the Antigravity A1 Standard Bundle and carry drones on my motorcycle trips.
Antigravity A1 (Standard Bundle) — where to buy: Amazon.com • Amazon.ca. The Follow Me Bundle and its accessory kit are sold through Antigravity's official store and major electronics retailers including Best Buy.
Yes. The Follow Me Bundle's watch remote and ring remote let you select yourself as the tracking target and let the drone follow using GNSS and visual tracking, without a headset or handheld controller.
The 249 g (8.8 oz) A1 packs easily and the wearables free your hands on the bike. Limits: about five hours of wearable battery, tracking caution around power lines and thin branches, and local drone rules that vary by region.
The complete bundle is 799 USD in the United States. The watch-and-ring accessory kit alone is 340 USD, reported at 272 USD for existing original-configuration A1 owners.
