DJI Mini 4k vs. Potensic atom cheap budget best drone shootout and comparison for beginner

Altitude limits? Geo fencing? Descent speed? Return to home?

[@drone_tech_review]

I'll keep these parameters in mind for the next test, thanks.

@@drone_tech_review Thanks! ;)

I have an Atom SE the flight time without recording is very long indeed - its the 2 axis version only. The battery capacity on this version may be slightly more also than the 3 axis version - they are very cheap on the auction sites even second hand the one I received all parts new not one sign of it being second hand and all working perfectly. As the gentleman said it flies similar to the DJI 4k very good flight characteristics and fast in sports mode

[@Amn3sia217]

I agree, however, purchasing the DJI Mini 4k Fly More Combo plus shipping costs to Portugal is an absurd price. For a considerably low price I purchased the Potensic Atom. If the shipping costs weren't so high, I would consider purchasing the DJI for sure.

I agree with this conclusion - dji could have made this drone with More Combo cheaper in order to get beginners like myself into buying the mini 4k but there is noway im buying a drone with a single battery :)

[@juanziegler1471]

at 5: 18 you mention now obstacle avoidance for the ATOM so follow me was useless. But not the DJI yet earlier you stated neither one had it .

[@drone_tech_review]

The reason I didn’t bring it up is because the DJI does not have Follow Me. They understand that obstacle avoidance is required for that feature

[@Toms_aerial_footage]

What’s the fuel consumption?

[@drone_tech_review]

Mini 4k hovered for 25 minutes before forced landing. Potensic hovered for 20 minutes.

[@kreyati]

I didn’t know about potensic

[@drone_tech_review]

Yes, good to have competition. They just need more models with more features and obstacle avoidance

[@mast3rbug]

Your Potensic antennas are not correctly oriented. Must be vertical, not horizontal.

[@drone_tech_review]

Thank you for that advice. I wonder if that actually makes a difference given that DJI does not require their antennas to be pointed upwards

[@mast3rbug]

@@drone_tech_review DJI ha already the antenna in the right orientation, it's made differently inside the plastic antenna section
