Best beginner drone under $100? | Potensic T25 Review

[@hardwiredreview]

Sorry about the poor Broll quality of this video. I filmed this while on vacation so it was kinda run and gun!

[@TheUrbandilema]

Which you prefer this or maviv mini by dji...btw great video bro. .newly sub to u from Instagram...

[@hardwiredreview]

@@TheUrbandilema if you have the money I would DEFINITELY consider getting the Mavic Mini. It offers so many more great features and the camera is stunning! However if you are tight on a budget and just want a drone to play around with than this is the one. Thanks for checkin out my channel! 👍🏻

@@hardwiredreview tanx for the info..yea i like your reviews...ur voice sounds like a younger version of dslr shooter Keleb..

[@TonyTechBytes]

Nice review, Nate! I’ve been looking at drones, but I was discouraged by the price. Hopefully big drone manufacturers like DJI drop prices too from the competition lol.

[@hardwiredreview]

Yeah I am hoping for that too Tony. Thanks for checking it out!

[@Creative7inc]

It's not always the best option to go for the name brand companies! Especially when you're just getting started, this drone seems like the perfect option. Thanks for sharing it with us!

I was given one by a friend because 3 motors had failed. It was only $9 for a set of motors, so I thought I'd give it a try. 7 minutes flight time? Nope. 4 minute avg flight time on 3 good batteries. It flushes better than my toilet. It may land ok, or may slam into the ground. It's always a surprise. The plastic seems cheap, but it's actually fairly resilient. I've kicked it hard twice ( it was heading for my face). I've flown it into walls full speed. It's dropped dead on asphalt from 40ft, and survived. And Superglue welds this plastic right up. This is TOY with lots of features, that all kinda suck. It took off and flew into a friend's head once, and t-boned my neighbors car, so it can be fun and entertaining. Again, it's tougher than it looks. I've flown it as far as 1000ft away. Unfortunately, it returned safely. So I'm saving it for a future kamikaze run against the Mavic Mini that took out my Parrot Swing.

Thank You for a Honest Review and Experience.. T25 needs one major upgrade - Battery Life to be doubled and for Potensic and others to Stop advertising 30 minute flight times when they mean really 7 minutes per battery.. Other is to actually make it back to Home when battery is low and not crash because the battery dies on the way home..

[@Sea_Leech]

Well theres things you forgot to include 1. It specifically says not to be flown in (highly) windy places so it is stable but not in windy places 2.theres two chargable batterys, so as soon as one battery gone out of power, put the other one in (ofcourse charge it while using the other) so as soon as your done with one battery, put in the other and carry on. 3. If you dont care about it being the most awskme expensive thing ever, then good. I only got a drone so i can see the area im in from a birds eye view, not to fly like like a boss doing loops and stuff, but once you are amateur at flying this drone it can be fun to fly. So this guy aint wrong, but he is saying if you want more specialised flying drone needs then not good, but this one is cheap for how worth it is, so its better to get this if you just like flying it around and not going * insane*

Thx for the heads up, I bought the d88 instead

[@hardwiredreview]

ayy! Thanks for checking it out!

[@EditWithFelix]

Very cool! Great stuff and very informative 😊

[@sethrohitheflo]

What altitude can it fly up to?

[@hardwiredreview]

100ft

[@jasonguthrie5099]

I was thinking 🤔 about purchasing the Potensic T25 I'll probably just wait till I can save a bit more in my budget for a better one .the Potensic T25 is a great starter one for the price ..

[@garyprice9122]

I bought this drone a few months back as my first drone. Video quality is not great but for a cheaper drone it's been fun. A week after purchasing this drone I found the Mavic range and kinda kicked myself.

[@hardwiredreview]

Yeah I am highly considering getting the Mavic Mini as well! Thanks for checking it out Gary! 👍🏻

[@HiTechKing]

Pretty cool drone the dji tello is also a pretty good drone for under $100

[@hardwiredreview]

Yeah that is also a really good option! Thanks for checking this vid out!

Haven’t been on here in 2 weeks 😂😂 what’s up man?

[@hardwiredreview]

Hey dude! Thanks for checking it out!

[@valeriepittman5066]

Good grief, what do you expect from a little cheap beginner Drone? It's basically just an introduction level to drones. Parents don't want to spend a lot of money on a heavier advanced drone that their inexperienced kids are going to tear up the first week that they get it. This lightweight designed model drone is perfect, and suits its purpose well. Later if parents observe respect was apparent in their kids in the handling of the drone, and enough experience was achieved then a bigger, more advanced drone may be next on their list. It also would depend on whether or not the kids were really into that sort of thing or if they played with it for only the first week that they got it. Lol

[@hardwiredreview]

Yeah but why have a camera when you can't even distinguish what's in a photo?

[@valeriepittman5066]

@@hardwiredreview Wow seriously? You have a very good point there. Sounds like something a little better would be best all around.

[@hardwiredreview]

Yeah

[@klappy803]

I'm gonna fly it over a lake...cheap is what i'm looking for

[@hardwiredreview]

haha!

[@paradisenatura3375]

Im LOVE this drone

[@hardwiredreview]

Nice

[@ericzaremba8675]

I own a potensic drone. You seem very spoiled and sheltered. You need to learn the features and the settings before making a final judgement. Sure there are way better drones on the market...this one is a cheap toy packed with a lot of features for the price. In my opinion this is the perfect starter drone. Really my man...give a little more honest review for the people who cant spend hundreds of dollars of dads money on a DJI. BTW: You wouldn't have crashed if you set the return home altitude to be above the trees.

[@hardwiredreview]

In my review I did say that it would make a great starter drone just as you said. However all of the features including return to home are not easy to find in the manual and in the app. With that said although the price is right and there is a fair amount of features, the camera is atrocious and those said features are buried so far deep in the already confusing app that a newbie to the drone world would have no idea how to use them.

[@Joe_Blo]

These are just larger $13 micro drones you can but on AliExpress. They're a toy. A disposable $100 toy.

[@hardwiredreview]

Yeah pretty much. There fun though for beginners who want to learn how to fly without the fear of crashing and breaking an expensive product.
