Potensic ATOM 3-Axis Gimbal 4K GPS Drone, Under 249g, 96 Mins Flight, Max 6KM Transmission, Visual Tracking, 4K/30FPS QuickShots, Lightweight for Adults and Beginners, Fly More Combo

Bought the Atom over a year and a half ago. I flew it maybe 3-4 times in the first month since it was winter time and super cold out. Then life got busy, and I forgot I even had this thing until this past weekend, I finally broke it out of the box again. Man is thing is impressive. Especially for the price point. Best value for your dollar out there. It’s super easy to fly, even for someone with little to no experience with flying quadcopters/drones. My 6 year old figured it out in about 3 mins. Camera and video quality are fantastic. Takes great photos. I keep pushing it farther each time a take it out to the field nearby. So far I’ve flown it 2,600 ft or so away from my and the streaming feed stays strong, but only if you’re in an open field with a good line of sight to the drone itself, otherwise it gets a bit laggy. It can take quite a beating too. I’ve crashed it 3 times into trees now. Only once did it need a blade/prop replacement since one got cracked. Otherwise it gets right back up, dusts itself off, laughs, then it keeps flying like nothing ever happened. The camera modes are fun, been playing with those too. For this price point you even get a “follow target” mode. So I had my kiddo be the target and run around the field. It tracks him pretty well, as long as he doesn’t do a 180 on a dime and run the other direction and it can’t keep him in frame fast enough so it loses track…which is to be expected from any drone really. The speed is amazing. It’s slow enough in beginner mode where you never feel like it will get away from you. Normal mode kicks it up quite a few notches to where flying it around is quick and fun, then you get to play with all of the distance and height limiters. Now sport mode is ridiculously fast. 35mph out of this little thing is nuts. Battery life is drained on sport mode, respectfully so. Batteries seem to last between 20-25 mins depending on use. Which is surprisingly quite longer than you’d think, especially if you’re used to $50-100 drones. Night and day difference. My only gripe with it is that it could use some quieter propellers. It’s significantly louder than my neighbor’s DJI Mini 3. Speaking of, these are two very similar and comparable drones. Practically all the same features, but the DJI has a slightly better camera and controller. This one has some features that the DJI doesn’t have, and the DJI has features that the Potensic doesn’t have. However, for the price, I can nearly buy two of these at the discounted rate for the price of one DJI…and my neighbor even tells me every time we fly together that he is super impressed with this Potensic and that he nearly bought this one too before he got the DJI. Overall, if you want the best entry drone out there with some of the best features for the best price. Look no further.

Me gustó mucho el dron solo que la caja del dron venía muy maltratada y pensé que era usado y venía abierta la caja

This is my second drone from Potensic (had the Atom SE prior). This is the only drone you need for your professional content creation. Let me explain: Price/Quality ratio: Easily the best there is in that price range period. Remote: Simple, intuitive, natural are the qualities that comes to mind when using it. Make sure to align the drone and the antennas for best performance. The remote opens to get your phone in the middle to connect to the app/remote/drone. The controls are sensitive enough for a smooth experience and a precise one. It is reactive and the controls are easy, even for a beginner. App: A clean interface that does a really good job at guiding you when you need it and letting you be autonomous when you feel comfortable enough. A manual is included in the app so any questions you have can be answered on the spot. The app lets customize your flight experience and is easy to use while the drone is in the air. Drone: With a weight of 249g, no need for registration or anything. The level 5 wind resistance makes it easy to fly in almost every condition without the trajectory of your flight being affected. The small size of the drone makes it easy to bring along for any trip. I do recommend keeping it in the designated case to make sure you don’t damage it. The drone looks well done and professional. With a microSD card of reasonable memory size, you can take shots all day and then easily transfer to your computer or phone to then edit or just look at your footage. This drone is solid but be always mindful of your surroundings. GPS tracking will get you your drone back if you venture too far, and it will lend exactly where it started with the auto return key and auto lending feature. Camera: A 4k with 30fps and 12MP lets you make nice and clean videos and pictures. You can take your content creation to the next level with the intelligent modes, and it has never been this easy. The camera is responsive and stable. With the 3-axis gimbal, it will make your content amazing without having to edit for hours. Fly More Combo: I absolutely recommend this combo as you get a charging station, a case and three batteries of around 30 mins flight each (depending on the flight mode: sport, normal, video). The batteries hold their charges, and the flight time is decent with one battery. Customer service: Responsive and helpful, they will make every effort to help you and will stay with you until completely satisfied. Potensic is a rising company that easily sets the bar as to what a drone should be and do. I absolutely recommend this drone for beginners, all the way to professionals. This drone will get you there. Will definitely by again when new models are available !

Relatively novice, this is my second drone. I began with a Holy Stone 175 which seemed like a nicely featured package for the price, but I found learning to control it well awkward- crashing a lot. Not disastrously- but rarely landed 'on all fours'. Not something I'm heavy into, but these have become quite a nice "tool" to have if you want to get a bird's eye view of your property, etc. So I began shopping for something with a bit more features and function which would hopefully both provide a better experience and be more user-friendly. In mind, I was mainly thinking about features such as automatic collision avoidance, which I soon found not especially available without a much higher price tag, and rarely found on drones that stay below the weight / size requiring FAA registration, etc. I was already familiar with many of the automatic path / auto-return type functions, but didn't have the ability of auto-hover, which many now have and something you'll find to be a real plus- the drone instantly holding it's location and altitude at any time you're not actively moving the controls. A higher level of wind resistance / compensation also a great feature that not only improves photo/video, it helps to keep you "in control" and not over-compensating in ways that will cause the novice to crash. Nearly all brand drones in this range touted having these functions, and for me the most frustrating aspect was that ALL of their ads barely provided more than a short bulleted list of functions, focusing almost entirely on hyped up videos with no real details that would help you make a good choice. I'd at first been leaning toward purchase of a DJI, which had great reviews until discovering that one thing they failed to disclose without some deeper investigation was that the DJI control was going to hound and pound you with advertising pop-ups in the midst of your fun unless you paid an extra fee to stop them. Who needs annoying ad hype getting in your face while trying to control drone flight? Don't we get enough of that already?! That killed it for me with DJI- no way will I buy and support any product which goes after consumers like that. Probably the biggest factor that entered my final decision to go with the Potensic Atom was it's wired control connection with the smartphone, instead of it's relying on wi-fi link which I'd found to be pretty problematic with my first unit, even in areas where it shouldn't have been a problem. And in my use so far, this has proven to really boost trouble-free connection with the drone, and fast, solid communication with it. The improved connection, and the basic flight stability of the Potensic has meant that now I'm not only flying more often, with further distances and for longer periods, I've done so without even coming close to having a single 'crash', landing both in auto and manually 100% so far. I'm still a little awkward with the controller, in that you really have to learn how to hold these things without accidentally having a finger activate or change a function that you didn't mean to. With this one, today I accidentally pressed the power button and shut off the controller with the drone at 200 feet up and running low on power. Thankfully the auto-hover kept it in place while I powered back on, re-established connection with the drone and safely brought it down. Another great feature of the Potensic is the 3-axis gimbal camera. It provides incredibly steady and clear hi-res video. Long-life batteries offer flight times of as much as 30 minutes before need to return for a fresh battery, and the package that comes with 3 batteries, the soft carrying case and multi-charging accessory means you can put in a lot of time in the air before need to call it a day. A bit more initial cost, but worth it if you can spare the extra at buying time. Overall so far, I'm super-pleased with my purchase of the Potensic Atom (the Atom SE was actually said to be the right choice for the novice/beginner, but it fell short of some features I wanted, and the Atom hasn't been tough to learn in the slightest.)

Buena calidad en los materiales, buena duración de la batería depende el uso pero si dura unos 25 min aprox con viento y uso frecuente, como extra puedes comprar las cubiertas de helice para protección si eres primerizo ya que a veces por los nervios llegas sentir que pierdes el control. El alcance muy bueno y en todos los sentidos
