Have you flown a drone before?

[@infrastructure-h9b]

I have some drones , but no mini drone 😊

[@danstoikovik7791]

Yes

[@invincirick]

nope, don't really have the money for that yet

[@ronaldthompsonii2]

I haven’t neither but my potensic will be here next week.

[@SverrYT]

I have but it broke so i am looking for a better one, thats why im here

[@pablozzz125]

Very impressive, I have the Potensic Atom SE but haven't had the chance to fly yet can't wait !!!

[@RedskullPro]

It did way better than I was expecting! Definitely try flying it on days when it isn’t windy! Let us know your experience when you get to try it out!

[@Lightnang_]

did you have the headless mode, locked mode, and altitude mode? It doesn't seem to be in the intelligent mode anymore

[@HarryHamsterChannel]

I comparison shopped, learning and losing other drones for months. I fly in the city. This is it! Does what I need and want. Resolution is excellent. Stop nit-picking. For about 200 dollars, this is it! You'll never remake Gone With the Wind. Get real. DJI can go scratch. The Potensic SE doesn't crash. Controller is perfect for me. I'll get a 3 axis model soon.

[@RedskullPro]

Get the Atom Potensic instead. The 3 axis gimbal makes a difference

[@bojackseafood]

Does it shoot vertical?

[@HarryHamsterChannel]

@@bojackseafood nope

[@captivethoughts1745]

When are they going to add AEB, auto exposure bracketing to their firmware update? This is a game changer when you're taking still photography.

[@filipesousa1107]

Can you tell me iff smartphone Xiaomi pocco X3 pro is compatível?

[@loshpillay]

I think your information is clear, thank you. In your opinion is this a good start for a 18 year old? I am considering this for my son's birthday. Also is the SD card a micro? I know very little about these things.

[@RedskullPro]

I recommend getting the newer model. Potensic Atom

[@Droneenthusiasts]

Thanks for sharing, but in my opinion I would prefer dji mini 2 se and fimi x8 mini v2.😄

[@AramBasmadjian-wz1wj]

Oh DJI mini 2 SE beats any drone in its price range..

[@chipsawdust5816]

I bought a Mini 2 SE and it was crap. It never got off the ground as the drone wouldn't connect to the controller. DJI tried to help, to their credit, but it was days in between emails. Apparently they're busy. If the thing won't connect when brand new with all firmware updated the day I got it, what would happen when I drove an hour or two to take some footage and nothing happens? That's a waste of time and money, two things I never have too much of.

[@AramBasmadjian-wz1wj]

@@chipsawdust5816 it's called a defective unit. It's your luck

The Potensic atom's video is shaking like crazy, you can't get a drone with 300USD without decent 3-axis gimbals.

[@francisverhelst9375]

For me it is perfect, i don’t shoot video only take pics. And the image quality for this purpose is very good.

[@MiltonPapa]

They just brought the 3 axis one out...

[@wilsonlopez8781]

Diji mini SE?😂

[@trinitrotoluene3D]

Because Potensic updates its firmware all the time, you can drag the altitude limit to far above 400 feet now. That’s no longer an issue

[@RedskullPro]

That’s cool, thanks for sharing with everyone

[@markpulling12]

Hi if you want to transfer videos and pictures from the drone to a laptop or pc do you have to remove the micro SD card and insert it into the pc or can you plug the drone into the laptop like say a dji mini Many thanks mark uk

[@RedskullPro]

Honestly I didn’t try plugging it in… just by removing the sd card 🤷‍♂️

[@markpulling12]

@@RedskullPro many thanks 👍

[@janlester]

Was about to get it but based on its sample footage, it has a horrible purple tint / purple fringing on the image

[@QuicknStraight]

Looks very good for the price. The 4K footage is very impressive. The Fimi X8 V2 sells for about the same price, though, with 5km range, 4K30 and similar flight times on a battery.

[@RedskullPro]

I've see that one online as well.

[@TTime685]

The Fimi X8 isn't anywhere near the price of this drone..

[@francisverhelst9375]

Yeah, can you please send me the Fimi X8 V2 at that price point ? Where do you find it at that price ?

[@shapethefuturetech6005]

I think he means the x8 mini v2. More or less the same price when you use cupons, 260USD around.

[@chipsawdust5816]

The FIMI X8 Mini V2 is $450 on Amazon. Not really the same price point.

[@richardhalliday6469]

The Dji mini 3 SE can be bought for the same price or $50 more for the combo package. Although Amazon do offer peace of mind when buying , the drones they sell tend to be priced above many other outlets.

[@RedskullPro]

I don’t think there is a Mini 3 SE… just Mini 2 SE and Mini SE

[@magnushurtside3234]

[@TTime685]

@@magnushurtside3234 why

[@fedexgroundispazalinc.7187]

3 questions. 1- how to unlock the flying range the way you did? Mine doesn’t fly that far. 2- how to switch the footage from landscape to portrait? 3- how to record videos straight on the app and not in the SD card?

[@RedskullPro]

In the app there is a option how far it can go. You have to turn the beginner mode off. You cannot record in portrait mode with this one. You can’t record the videos directly in the app. You can download them from the sd card through the app from the drone

[@cock_roach.the.1st]

Or try recording Your mobile screen

[@RichardDuryea]

I picked up one of these but the cable that connects your phone to the controller is not good. For me it keeps disconnecting.

[@RedskullPro]

Remove the case from your phone...if you were using a case

[@jackofalltrades7822]

Does this have auto take off?

[@RedskullPro]

yes, you can take off and land by pressing a button. There is a new version of this drone as well. You can find that video on my channel

[@steveulliott4106]

hi, do these drones need say 5g, 4g, 3g...etc or can they fly on gps alone, I have a dumb phone, thanks

[@RedskullPro]

Well, no, you don't need data on your phone to fly this

[@alexwood7678]

Thankyou for the review! Do i need an SD card? I read it will save the footage to my phone

[@RedskullPro]

You need an SD card in the drone. You can download the footage from the drone to the phone through the app

[@atakd]

Enjoyed that. Lots of good information. Thanks.

[@RedskullPro]

Also check out the new version of this drone called Atom

[@Falconurbex]

Alex what sd card do u need for this drone if u can let me know i would appriciate that thank you.

[@RedskullPro]

Hey, any class 10 sd card will work. I use the SanDisk Extreme

[@6bProductions]

Can the controller of the Atom SE be used with the Atom when I upgrade ?

[@MiltonPapa]

Which is better? Fimi mini v2 or does potensic win out of the 2...!!!!

[@RedskullPro]

I didn't try the Fimi Mini V2, but there is a new version of this Potensic drone out that is much better than this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKnGlYqLj7eraNE

[@salriggione]

Does the Pontensic atom se come with an SD card? If not, what size SD card is required?

[@RedskullPro]

It doesn’t come with an sd card. You can get any class 10 sd card up to 256GB. I personally use a 64gb card

[@catl4969]

Take your hands off the controller and it will stay in the same spot. It may move a bit depending how windy it is

@@RedskullPro I think so , and the range is 3 km : not bad 😊

[@driewiel]

@@RedskullPro I would prefer it with EIS only so you can carry it in your pocket without damaging the gimbal. Unfortunately the follow-me is programmed wrong. Drone manufacturers ( and reviewers) don't have a clue how it should work. Shame because if the feature was done right it would be a really nice hiker/biker drone.

[@rpm1970rm]

How can you say $500 for a drone without a gimble not to mention my quadcopter 210 would leave it for dead. You claim it can fly up to 8km whe the manual states it will fly up to 4km thanks

[@RedskullPro]

Nice, let us know your experience with it!

[@mrconta]

​@@RedskullPro Hi Alex. I have now tested my drone and i must say I'm very disappointed. First of all the drone is losing GPS satellites in mid air that resulted in a crash and damaged the propellers. I contacted potensic and provided my flight log they analyzed. They confirm that all sudden the signal is lost and the drone starts to circle around very fast in the air uncontrolled which can result in crash if you flying low and near building. They cant say why my drone is loosing GPS satellites and they offer me a new drone with 1 battery (since i bought the combo kit that includes 2 batteries) and 30 euro for shipping. BUT when i bought it the shipping was 10 euro, so they don't seem very helpful when charging me 3 times the shipping fee from beginning. its not my fault the drone is broken . Also i don't think its real 4K camera since the quality is very low. i would say 720P max on low heights and 480 when you are but up in the air. Before buying atom i was planing on buying DJI mini2 and now i regret i didn't go with that instead since this problem with atom. be careful with your drones. When it lose connection to satallites it can get really ugly! I also did they calibration before every flight and it still losing GPS so i just want to give heads up to everyone.
