Don't want a DJI? - New' 2024 Potensic Atom Mini Drone is good!!!

[@n8nkqrp595]

Great video. Thanks! I bought one a few weeks ago and LOVE it. Just went on a range test, through trees etc, and made it over a mile in a mixed residential / farming town. If anyone wants to see the flight, search on '1.6 km death flight' and you'll find it. lol. BTW, as noted below, there's a setting to disable both, the nags on how to fly, and the RTH beep, Also, you can silence any alert with a short press of the power button :)

[@TTOMMORO]

I bought one of these drones recently, and I love it. It came with a smart battery charger, three batteries (93 minute flight time with all 3) extra blades, a nice carrying case, all for $279 plus tax!! I am very happy with it, and was glad to see this video showing me features I didn't even realize it had! Thanks!

[@evilrainbow]

wherever did you get such a deal?

[@adsaccuracy]

I got one and It Is fantastic. You won't be disappointed.

[@dronecamps]

I have to agree. Makes me want to make some more videos on it.

[@countleppe5774]

I Have Had A Potensic Atom For Months Now And For The Price And What You Get For Your Money In The Combo Package Kit I Don't Need To Go Any Further Regarding Expense. I Don't Need To Be Ruled Now All The Time By DJI Drones Which Have Been Way Ahead Of Their Time So long. Great Little Drone This One.

[@wilfdarr]

I have one question: how do you type your posts? You capitalized the first letter of every word: if you're doing that manually, that's impressive!

[@Dreidelmeista]

@@wilfdarr I was going to say the same thing, but I think you said it politer lol. I’ve known irl one person to do it and she gave me a blank stare and said she just liked it 😑

[@n3tfury]

@@wilfdarr I don't know about impressive....

[@jrtuae007]

I have the Potensic Atom with 3 axis gimble, awesome piece of kit

[@edgee400]

I have a dji mini and I love this one more. The video is on par but my biggest reason is no GEOFENCING. I've been many places where drones are allowed on vacation and have been blocked by or asked to get permission with dji app. With this I fly where I want when I want. If you compare apples to apples any dji in this price range you won't get obstacle avoidance. And most of your cons will go once you learn the app. All cinematic modes work great too.

[@joegoliver3]

I agree 100%. Those are my reasons too. Especially here in Florida where I live in St Pete. The DJI app won't let me fly in 90% of places known for drone flights. But I'm hopeful Potensic never ever adopts geo fencing for anything other than a suggestion and not a limitation.

[@FabianNotts]

Looks good :) We need good competition for DJI

[@AquaTech225]

Only if others can get up to their speed and possibly out do them. Not much a competition if they always sitting behind

[@vietdoan3211]

Great video my friend! I just got a Potensic Atom last month. As a drone newbie, I really like the Return To Home feature especially when I lost sight of it and got panicked! LOL 😂

[@almeisam]

There's an option to silence the beeping for RTH, and it dropped out of sport mode when you got low. You can set the RTH altitude, and there's an option that has to be unchecked every time to use that selected height. The weather has not been good enough where I am for me to ever fly mine outside. Works well indoors though.

[@dronecamps]

Thank God that beep is annoying as F. :)

[@leechild4655]

@@dronecamps i was looking for a way to open the controller to get to the beeper but I think it sonicly sealed so needs to be cracked open but sometimes its sealed in a way you have to destroy the housing to get to the electronics, it aint worth it. Luckily they now have an update where you can turn off the beeping by quick click on the controller power button. hallehuya

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

The quality is really great, nice drone🤝

[@johnmajka5404]

I have 6 DJI drones including 3 Mini series DJI. Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, AIR 2S, AIR 3, FPV Drone. All are Fly More Combos. I just got the Autel Evo Lite +, Premium Bundle & I ordered the Potensic Atom 3 Axis Gimbal Fly More Combo last Friday. I wanted a few decent drones without Geofencing. The only reason I bought a Mini 3 & Mini 3 Pro is because my wife took over my Mimi 3 pro, as soon as I got my Mini 4 Pro lol.

[@yates6608]

Who cares.

[@nwsights6301]

I dig this drone compared to a DJI Mini 2 or 3 just for the price the tracking feature video quality extra batteries a better carry bag it's a no brainer! I got mine yesterday haven't had a chance to fly it but I'm excited to!

[@queirozdrone]

Excellent drone, I'm so happy with mine and making lots of videos on my channel in a mountain region of Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷🎉

[@KriswixxReviews]

Superb review, and editing too man. Took the time to do this, really loves the hobby. Good stuff. I like it, i'll keep an eye out for one used or trade.

[@TTOMMORO]

I paid 279 plus tax for the kit he showed at the beginning. Nice case, three batteries, a smart charging hub, extra blades etc.

[@henrytaaffe7058]

awsome footage Sir.

[@w00tb0ss]

Love mine. I fly it around my 3 property. Just found out you can fly at night. Has an ir camera to land on its own.

[@majorproblem6392]

, my potensic atom se doesn't connect anymore with the remote control after i flew it a few times,, what can be the problem?, i hope you have an idea how ti fix my concern. Thanks

[@d33dub]

there are follow me modes / circle mode etc on the drone, it's under the record button. The SE is a slightly more basic drone that doesn't have a 3 axis gimble.

[@whatareuduing]

this is my first drone ever and will be trying it out this weekend. I like your content and approach.

[@arekbownik9284]

So I just got this drone, my first ever. Took it for a spin in my local park. Fly so smooth but the video looks disturbed. Can I set the camera to a better quality?

[@Cozydrone]

I am a dji guy,but if dji for some reason gets banned, it is good to know there is a second choice 😊

[@christopher4101]

Thanks for the upload👍 After researching a bit about budget folding camera quads, this thing seems awesome for the price. I think im going to order one from Amazon (instead of spending more for a mavic mini) after watching your vid. Plus, id hate to take my new toy to the grand canyon (where i plan to take it first) & be told i cant fly there by the drone manufacturer lol. This quad seems like a decent quality & budget friendly safe bet... Again, thx for the "review"👍🙏💯

[@MrTrazz09]

im intrestednon this product, question: does the SE variant does not have 3axis gimbal? whenever i look up specs for the cheaper Atom SE it doesnt say it has a gimbal but ang EIS camera

[@malithwithana3401]

Cool video ✨ Any idea how this compares to fimi mini 3 or fimi x8 mini v2??

[@rayanair1]

hello! Does anyone know if you can fly it with VR mode in the app ?

[@blackeg0lridertv]

I'm pretty amazaed with one click that you can choose any 1-3 options of 5 options...circling , boomerang, etc . feature we cannot see in DJI Air, mini, mini pro...great drones and without GEOFENCING is a Great favor

[@dukepull]

sweet looks like i’ve found my next drone

[@blackberrybunny]

Great flying skills! I just got my first drone--THIS one! I like it a lot. However, I am visually impaired, and seeing all of that stuff on my phone is difficult. Do you think I could use my ipad somehow? Is there some kind of converter cable or something?

[@NuTT62]

Great drone, I love mine.

[@pensbyrob]

I just got that drone today I do like it so far.

[@redjack56]

This looks like a fun little camera drone, is there a big difference in the Atom and the Atom SE aside from price ? I’m a novice but I have flown some drones in the past, I’ve always wanted another drone but strictly for FUN , would either of these be a good option for a novice ? I’m not into FPV or even filming I just want something fun to fly that is easy to control and not too fast so I can learn at my own pace.

[@wilfdarr]

Gimbaled camera.

[@evilrainbow]

SE has a 2 axis gimbal, non-SE is 3 axis

[@MichaelBarber-z8f]

Greetings. I really like the Potensic Atom and Potensic Atom SE drones. I own the SE Drone. Fantastic video 💯 and long range. Long battery time. Oh now you can disable the beeping sound in the updated version. In the settings. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video and God bless 🙏

[@BringerOfLight1]

Ty for this great Hands on full review. I am very much thinking on pulling the trigger to buy my 1st drone..I watched a few of this model on the Tube. Yurs by far is the best I've seen. I very much grateful ,this awesome..only thing I'm concerned with,there are rumors of a version 2..should I wait or purchase this awesome deal now? Ty so much 🤩

[@MrDapperGent]

Fascinating

[@tenlittleindians]

Does it bind with fpv goggles? Does it have the range of a DJI radio system? Will an aftermarket transmitter bind with this radio system? Are extra batteries easy to find and affordable?

[@globaldeception7414]

I been 10k feet out once.. bte smack the power button once real fast the beeps stop. That was an update feature

[@scottlewis6691]

I just bought the atom 3. Love it

[@TheNaven007]

how does it handle in the wind?

[@tenlittleindians]

Will it bind to fpv goggles? Will aftermarket transmitters bind to this radio system? Does it have the range of a DJI radio system? Are spare batteries available from 3rd party vendors?

[@outsidepnw5381]

Do I have to connect the cable of the controller to my phone? My usb port is broken lol

[@RenzorTheRed]

Is this quality enough for real estate photography?

[@VinydFPV]

Footage looks pretty damn good!!! Im a freestyle drone guy but i do have one pretty good camera drone in my fleet a DJI mini 2 but i would definitely add this to the fleet... what up Justin?? You good??? Hope so bro...

[@dronecamps]

All good man. Just got back from a family vacation with 6 kids. Loving life and back to making videos. Doing what I love the most.

[@kennethhamburg8909]

You can cancel the beeping when returning to home in the safety setting's

[@geoffowen7627]

Just receivved mine 2 days ago, not had.much time to fly it yet, first thing I did was order spare gimble sticks, I will lose at leadt 1 🤣🤣🤣 You can set silent rth in the app to stop the evil beeping, nice little drone, only flown mine once around the garden, can't wait to have a proper go when I get time

[@martynraynes1973]

I use a holystone hs600 but my 250g is a Holystone hs360se. I think the Atom will be replacing my Hs369se. I have only been out flying 4 times so new at drone flying.

[@Mariocota-n5r]

Potensic o Dji mini 2 se????

[@sniktawwatkins3412]

Does it have the care/ insurance pk. ?

[@HarryHamsterChannel]

Panning looks good here. Try the "video" speed. It's even better.

[@alainboyer7891]

If you buy and find a good unit this drone is very very good....but some unit quality problem.....but potensic is very good service after sale..

[@realjaxon]

Where did you get that helipad?

[@eugeneaustin]

hi Justin that is a real cool drone, video is brilliant better than i've ever seen the gimble is really smooth as i'm in the UK we can't buy it yet, but when it is definitely buy one great review mate

Cool, thanks

Hi great video it's been available in the uk scince it's launch, I've had mine for 3 months now from amazon, great little drone,👍

[@allenw.phillipsjr.3753]

I would like to know where I can purchase a portable orange helipad for my quadcopter !

[@f62darkstar]

Amazon

[@scottlewis6691]

Mine has always landed within 1 foot of the launch spot

[@zira_fluff4105]

Good coverage. The thing that concerns me about this and many other affordable 'consumer' drones are the smart batteries. If this company disappears in the next 6 months and one needs more batteries, the drone becomes e-waste very soon.

[@dronecamps]

I see your point. But Potensic has been around for 5 years or more. Both Holy Stone and Potensic are the 2 main sub-Dji brands on Amazon. They’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

[@richardbently7236]

Well I have a DJI Mavic Air and let the batteries sit for year and DJI designed them so they will not charge without operating/surgery on the battery. So i have 3 good batteries with little flight time that are pretty much e-waste. It's a really scumbag move by DJI. Buying new batteries having the BATTERIRS Repaired and buying a new drone all cost about the same. I decided to buy a used Potensic Atom 3 axis with fly more on EBAY. Maybe some day ill befriend someone who will salvage my batteries.

[@Outerspace_cgn]

I like it

[@dronecamps]

Me too

[@Amberdogproductions]

Does it have remote ID?

[@travneal23]

No. The drone less the 250 grams

[@Amberdogproductions]

@@travneal23 I have 2 dji minis at 249g with remote I.D.

[@joyindeeamornchai754]

Sounds like a great drone for the price but before ppl start saying this is better than DJI, you must also factor in that the DJI Mini 3 gets a larger 1/1.3" image sensor at a bright F1.7 aperture, the Potensic Atom gets a much smaller 1/3" image sensor plus a even less bright F2.2 aperture so on paper DJI definitely wins in the camera department

[@scottwilkins]

Those batteries really look like two 18650s side by side. :)

[@OnlyDayzfanz]

Just think my first time flying completely raw no assist

[@droneready8278]

That 96 minutes is probably for the 3 battery version...32 minutes x 3?

Yes! And now with Zoom functions. :)

[@topperyo]

Can it carry a gopro ?

Maybe a de-cased Gopro .

i will buy one when uncle sam comes through at end of month......can you replace anttena if you break one??

[@IMAGENESNY]

IT DOES 4K 60 FPS.?

[@Chris-Someguy]

@@IMAGENESNY 30 fps

[@tomspallone1868]

You started to mention something about under 250 grams while going thru an airport? What’s the story?

[@fredmunson8603]

Good test. Can you set the RTH height?

[@dronecamps]

Yes it’s adjustable in the app settings

[@DaleK-j9g]

90 minutes is flying all 3 batteries....not 90 minutes per battery

[@Scot-land]

I always hear people singing praises about DJI but in my opinion DJI are overrated

[@leisurecide9478]

Just buy a DJI

[@MD_is_me]

Why???

[@HarryHamsterChannel]

Or flush your money down the toilet.

Geo Fence Yourself.

The only reason you should care so much that you’d comment that is if you owned DJI. I’m willing to bet you don’t
