Potensic Atom at the Snake River Canyon

[@Bondango]

You could fly a kite over that canyon and I would watch the video, amazing spot to fly. Great to see the Atom doing its thing now 😊

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank You! It is such a fun place to fly!!

[@MichaelBarber-z8f]

Extremely impressive Drone 🙂👍💯🏞️.. a very beautiful and amazing flight . Hi Marcus 👋 My friend. I love these kind of flights. The Snake River Canyon is fantastic 💯. Thank you so much for the video and God bless 🙏.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Many thanks Shane! Enjoy that little Atom drone!

[@finnybflyin]

So, we learned to set the speed before we go low into the canyon. It would have been so cool to set the active track on a motorcycle while in the canyon. The return to home video at the canyon's edge was awesome! You are able to show that the Potensic has potential! Thank you for the tour, Marcus. Cheers, Brendan

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Brendan! This was one of my most enjoyable flights with the Atom drone.

[@RDsRCReviews]

I always enjoy watching your drone flights over the canyon. The Atom is a decent drone.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Ryan. Yes, I like the little Atom!

[@FadeToBlackLLC]

That place looks amazing. Really awesome footage.

What a great place to fly a drone . Only after starting to use a drone after buying a mini 2 se and find your videos very useful for a beginner. Keep up the great content.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much! This little Atom packs a big punch for the $$ spent.

[@elis5453]

@@IdahoQuadcopter I would love to fly my drone there

[@benmiller6500]

wonderful place to Fly

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I so agree! 👍

[@RobinDrones]

The video quality on your Atom looks stunning. I'd say it looks as good as the mini 4 pro in good lighting 😉

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's good, the bitrate isn't what more expensive drone have, but overall the video is quite good.

[@willspzs]

Top my friend

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Your second Atom is performing much better than first one. Nice testing out at the canyon, the video quality looked decent for a budget drone. I'm glad the signal issues are solved, at least for this unit, but I'm concerned QC issues since the first had all those issues. Great testing Marcus, and thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Ron! It's a decent little drone!

[@PilotsError]

Amazing flight as always, would love to have flown my old Parkzone Radian at that spot, that bird would fly all day on one battery :) Marcus "no fear" Crawford lol

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh, heck yes, your fixed wing would be perfect at the canyon! Thank you!

[@daniel.d2150]

Subscribed! This video has seriously given me a push toward buying this wee drone, it is really up there with the dji 2. Also what a fantastic place to capture some amazing footage. Much respect from Scotland UK.👍

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Awesome, thank you Daniel!

[@pp2trancos]

Con lo llano que esta ahí arriba, la caída que hay hacía el río. El primero que lo encontró debió de alucinar bastante

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I'm sure it was quite a site to see!

[@stevetaylor8446]

They still have more to sort out on the software. We should have a manual override to be able to take it down low if we are ip high. Another hood idea would be to have the speed option on the phone screen. I was about to mention the return to home feature when you're gluing lower down, like a big hill or in your case a Canyon, whether it goes on the height it started at or from say lower down in the case of the Canyon and you answered that like you read my mind. Thanks again Marcus brother, as always...another honest and thorough video. Have a good week buddy

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I agree, you shouldn't have to go into the setup menu to change the speed of the drone. 👍

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

That little Atom has a great picture! Where DJI shines is the transmission/ CS and price point and quality. Awesome little drone, if the price was right, it would be a terrific budget drone imo. Thanks for sharing, Marcus! P.s. so that's where the bug guts came from 😂

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

So many bug guts out there! 🤣

[@rpguy4]

Enjoyed your video and commentary. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is absolutely my pleasure! Thank you!

[@georgekelly1948]

Thanks for the flight, Marcus. Not good conditions to fly here today, so I jumped on your little bird. Cheers, buddy.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you George! Spring is coming!

[@baxter6504]

Hi, Marcus. I love your videos. Snake River Canyon is on my bucket list! I am curious how people get down to the river's edge. Pethaps you could show us the paths and trails one day. Keep up the good work! 👍🏿

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I've flown from the bottom of the canyon before. There is a road by the Swan Falls dam that goes down into the canyon. Thank you!

[@George71964]

I didn't see the shark but I did see the flies pestering you again😊. As always I enjoy you videos, especially the Snake River Canyon.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, where ever there is livestock, there are plenty of flies! 🤣

[@HikeFly22]

Another nice video. Good to see the atom working smoothly for you finally.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, yes, this was a good flight!

[@slq5541]

Thanks, was hoping you would take the Atom to the Snake!!!!!!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That was a really fun day of flying!

[@spyguy7007]

totally outstanding video. My question finally answered regarding negative altitude. Great channel !!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Awesome, thank you!

[@capeRCouple]

Might just order this for review this week

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's a decent little drone. 👍

[@tavares4140]

Muito bom

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you for watching!

[@FredHarvey-wp2qy]

Cool flight, Marcus! It is surprising that the Atom tries to nanny the pilot by not allowing Sport Mode under 26M. I was also surprised that it stayed in Sport Mode after you descended into the canyon. I expected it to revert to normal mode as you descended. I don't know if it was a glitch in the software, or if Potensic gave the pilot a work a round if he wanted to go fast down low. I always enjoy our flight together! Thanks!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Fred. Because often a Potensic drone is purchased by a first-time flier, they put in a lot of safeties.

[@mast3rbug]

Did you know that about 5 to 7 days of no activity, the battery will self discharge to 50-70% in storage mode to protect it. Maybe the reason why the battery was not 100% charged in your case. Also, when in sport mode, if you lower under the minimum altitude, it will get back in Normal mode automatically.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Good information, thank you.

[@ssb73q]

Hi Marcus, nice review of the Atom at a beautiful location, thanks for sharing. All you need now is a round landing pad so you can do precision landings. vbg

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Richard. Video coming soon!

[@jerrybrooks9659]

Great video. How do you transfer straight to the computer from SD. I can with my Atom but my Dji reads it but won't play it? Super frustrating!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I use a card reader, and upload the files to my PC. 👍

[@BaqPaqJaq]

Yay little Atom2 made it to Snake River Canyon ❤ Has a pretty crisp image👍🏻. I wonder why there’s no override for the negative equity sport mode. For a safety feature they could just have put an extra button to confirm yes sports mode is wanted 😂.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Does this drone have geofencing like the DJI drones?

[@FlyinFlynnMedia]

That camera is pretty decent Marcus. Glad you got a good replacement and got to fly it at the Snake River. Maybe take off a little further from the edge next time please😮😊!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! I hear you John. 😄

[@a2tomm]

wow ,as always an amazing place ,question though what kind of bugs are flying all around you ,here in Pa no bugs yet

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, there were a lot of flies. Wherever you see livestock, there will be flies.

[@123windyron]

Any zoom on that bird ? And i would be worried about being so close to the edge if there was a medical emergency and fall over the edge that would be catastrophic or if that rock edge would collapse and cave in crazy thinks happen that wouldn't be good either thats a long way down.just a thought...

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It does have zoom, but it's just a crop. And yes, it's a long way down! 🙂

[@nicholascrocker4329]

Is it perhaps not a good idea to take off so close to the edge? If the drone has to return to home because of signal loss it might miss the landing pad and end up at the bottom of the gorge 😢.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I was watching it pretty close. 😎

[@finnybflyin]

I have another question for you Marcus. Do you drive your Tahoe to the SFDM or do you take a flight. My guess is that you fly since you are across the country in Boise, Idaho.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh heck yes Brendan, I'm flying. 😀

It's idiot proof meaning it won't allow a stupid pilots to wreck.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! Nothing is foolproof! 🙂
