Potensic Atom Maximum Distance Test

[@flotfpv]

Wow! You hit it. Great maximum distance test! with the Potensic Atom! 4.72km!! 👍👍👍

[@RCEscape]

32 minute flight time is what I want on my 5" quads!! Lol!! Thanks bro!

[@bullDJI]

I have been flying DJI drones since 2017 until now, when I had a signal range of 400m or 1300ft with the Phantom 2 V+ and that was glorious back then! But I rate this Potensic even with minor shortcomings, such as the waypoints fly in straight lines, not arcs, and it is only possible to plan within about 500m from the HP, or it does not have anti-collision sensors and other trifles. So I rate this drone as successful and great for beginners. As we can see, it can cover a distance of around 4.5 km, which is a nice result, it can also use intelligent modes (quick shot), the 4K camera has a nice stable image... The battery lasts 32 minutes. It is well. the price is about 400 dollars or 386 Euro appeared in our Czech market for the combo version. The drone itself then costs around 295 Euro or 309 dollars approximately. It is well. Good price so I praise this drone.

Looks like you could've gone 5k but that's farther than I'll ever want to fly with a drone! Thanks for risking your drone for us :)

[@xtremefight]

I like the video but you spent over 15% of the battery sight seeing and talking. Not exactly a range test.

[@BDX55]

Did you watch the whole video? After the first one he put a new battery in and sent it out again, this time ignoring the low battery warning and got it to 4.7km before returning. I think that’s a good range test.

[@PixelRacer64]

Relax. Easy to figure out that yes! It's capable of 6km.

[@Nonsensenoalph]

You have waisted a lot of battery time with talking and going straight up to a high altitude stopping and panning around. Fresh battery no talk off the ground and go straight line don't stop

[@bradley7506]

You are in a very wide open location with absolutely nothing to block the signal. Most of us aren’t that lucky. Glad you got such good range though.

[@EduardoGardini]

I'm interested on this drone and I've seen some long-range flights at the pilot's own risk, without FPV and canceling Return to Home. Potensic reached 4330 meters away, returned to the starting point with more than 30% battery. I wouldn't take that risk, but this risky experience was useful in giving us a basis for the limits of this drone. Happy flights, greetings from Brazil.

[@basretie5179]

4720 meters is a nice distance. I had 4200 with the Potensic Atom , but it was with trees and houses and factories along the way :) Very nice test .. and i would love to fly there :)

[@BlairAir]

I think you could have gotten further by taking off immediately vs. losing over 5% battery covering the points you were discussing. That was important content, but a full battery could have helped achieve a greater distance. What is the most efficient speed for the Atom?

[@Flyingboots1]

Video speed is the most battery saving speed to fly at.

[@JasonCarrara]

That's all I need to see plus the video looks great buying one thank you. Bought a holy Stone 720r. And it's 50/50 whether you're going to have a decent flight or it's going to toilet bowl and crash. One flew away on me they were nice enough to replace it but same issue so returning it and definitely going to buy the Adam. Would probably go with the DJI mini 3 but with the accusations that I don't want to support that type of thing and don't want to buy something that's about to get banned we're going to go with the little atom here. And it's $100 cheaper

[@PixelRacer64]

So 9.5 km or 5.8 miles

[@chipsawdust5816]

I'm a little concerned that your gimbal angle was -5, -7 during some of that flight. Noticed it more on the first flight. Is that something you can tap on the camera icon and manually reset? Or is it fully drone-controlled? I understand that the ground didn't have much contrast but there was a horizon and it would seem the camera would want to keep that pretty close to zero at all times.

[@RCEscape]

That would be the camera tilt angle and not the horizon level.

[@chipsawdust5816]

@@RCEscape Ah OK. Looked like the horizon was a bit tilted and I think you made a comment on it in the video. I guess I'll know more once mine shows up, thanks for the videos on this drone. Not many out there, mostly the SE.

[@crispy2473]

Wasted way to much time and battery before you even started the range test. Think you had already used approx 20% of battery. After explaining the camera and RTH you should of changed battery for a true test. However I do like the way that you put the video together and the way in which you explain things.

[@MiltonPapa]

Dji mini 2.. Much better camera and zoom.. Atom has no zoom and is half the size camera of the dji mini 2.. Only if you find the mini 2 it's then worth buying.. I found one in box new for 200 Australian $.. Love it

Hi. how did you achieve that you have the option to set the "maximum altitude limit" to 800m? When everywhere it goes only within 120 meters

I didn't achieve anything. It simply just says 10-800 meters.

[@osjjbnsvaoguebn]

@@RCEscape but Atom has a basic limitation of only up to 120m.

[@RCEscape]

@@osjjbnsvaoguebn Without a warning, yes. But you could with a warning, go as high as 800 meters.

[@pixelpeter3883]

Weird how conservative the RTH was on your first attempt; it landed with still 50% power left! Nice to know what the Atom is capable of (impressive!) but like you, I would never fly out that far and keep the quad much closer.

[@RCEscape]

I like to fly around 60-80 meters high when doing distance tests. I get better results than flying higher like 110 meters and because of the 50% battery life left in the 1st run, I was emboldened to push it on the second run but chose 90 meters instead and got better results. Regardless, that is some crazy distances this thing can fly.

[@tavish4699]

because the system is better what the hell is a foot anyway? we all got different feet lenghs

[@plane_guy6051]

Metric makes far more sense because it's based on even numbers and zero points, like water freezes at 0 in metric instead of 32F which makes way more sense. It's simply a far superior system but like all things, it's annoying if you weren't raised using it.

[@XRKAudio]

The mile is a natural metric system based on 1000 paces of the average Roman soldier. Turns out many people have the average pace of a Roman soldier (5.3ft every two steps = 1 pace). Try counting your paces when you go for a walk next time. Compare to your phone GPS/tracker. You can’t get 10 factor with meters or km related to human stride.

[@Beto.R]

Thanks for the video! I'm a beginner but I guess that enabling recording will take more battery juice and compromise a distance test, as well when you move the camera all the time. My guess...
