[@WildCaptures]

Nice update and smooth video, I still enjoy my Atom SE standard gimbal. It’s a great flying quad👍

[@RCEscape]

Atom SE is a great drone! Especially with the dronemask goggles! The Atom now is completely stabilized with the gimbal and also the shake vanish eis. Kind of like a mavic mini. I’m blown away that Potensic has come this far.

[@ravensburgpiet]

Man you are still at it,🎉 great friend 😊

[@n.b.johnsonjr.1602]

You always make great reviews. I love the follow-up reviews also. Keep up the great work.

[@RCEscape]

Thanks for watching :)

[@Sturmer69]

excellent review!!! thank you very much.

[@queirozdrone]

Awesome drone I'm making lots of videos here in a mountain region of Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷🎉

[@kennethhamburg8909]

If you press on the Signal Lost icon you have to cancel the default return to home which is 120 meters or 400 feet that is why it did not go to the set height of 29 m that you set it at .

[@E-Ryders]

Do you have to have data or wifi on the phone. I have an old phone that I just want to use as a screen.

[@larryy6467]

Yes it requires cellular

[@dronedays450]

You need to click the arrow under return to home setting and untick the default setting from 400 ft

[@atbien21]

Great video! I have this drone and haven't tried the quick shots yet. Thank you for the demonstrations. What are all the holes/divots in the ground around you?

[@RCEscape]

Thanks! I'm not sure why there are so many holes like that here. It looks like it was once a plant?

[@Blasio66]

@RCEscape Did you try to set the speed to sport mode when you use follow me mode? Maybe it would keep up with you when you run. Nice review, thanks.

[@gdhall5311]

I like this one as well Pete, nice job.

[@RCEscape]

The drone and the price is perfect! This drone is good enough for most applications and people who want to use the video recordings especially the fly more package with the three batteries and the charge station. Thanks Greg! 🍺🍺

[@Houston-ss8zf]

Under the return to home you must uncheck the box or the drone will always go to 400ft before returning to home. Once you uncheck the box you then can set the slider to the height you want.

[@RCEscape]

yes, I figured it out. Thanks.

[@electroddxful]

Awesome review Pete 👍🙏👍🙏

[@RCEscape]

Thanks Ray!!👍 I think Potensic is going to sell a lot of these.

[@WiganDroneFlyer]

Great review on what appears to be a great drone. Does the camera have a zoom function?

[@notademonrat]

no sadly but good quality video

[@dpaola]

it will come in a future update as a digital zoom in the app

[@georgwor8955]

It now has with the latest update. But to be fair: we are talking a 2x zoom. It doesn't turn the drone into a flying telescope. :)

You need to upload your videos in 4k so we can see the true quality of this drones camera, this video is 1080p only

[@carlosvieira7620]

The lava mic has something to do with the interference of the drone especially if it Frequency works off 2.4 Ghz,like the dji mic.,anyway! I have a request to ask of you.,first off,great review, like always! So with that said.,my request is, I would love, and appreciated if you could look into the walkera t210 mini and do a review on that quad! I know your fans would appreciate it.,now that is a great drone, with it's hassleblad camera, and also it has throw to fly feature,and a speed of 20 meters in sports mode, and a top speed of 25 meters in alt mode, Cruise control,and so much more, that in my opinion is one of the better quads out there.,I'll even go as far as to say,it competes with the mini dji's in it's own ways.,enough said.,can you please consider doing a video review on the walkera t210 mini?

[@gustofpv4470]

looks very interesting pete......

[@birdman316]

man this one is sweeet! might bag one after i pay off a couple o purchases....NIICEEE!!!

[@RCEscape]

Thanks! One small issue is the stuttering on the fpv video feed. Other than that, it's good.

[@Beto.R]

Thank you for this video! Straight forward question: Would advise going for this drone OR for the DJI Mini 2 SE, which got almost the same price? Didn't like how the track feature went on this one... Thanks again.

[@RCEscape]

I don’t have a dji to compare it with so I can’t tell you which is better. However, the fly more package should be a deciding factor.

[@technodrone313]

id get the mini 2 se. you know the dji is going to be flawless.

[@esoxenvy3112]

The DJI Mini 2 SE doesn't have Active Subject Tracking like the Potensic Atom. I have the the DJI Mini SE and can say that the Potensic video quality is better, even on the Potensic Atom SE.

[@technodrone313]

yeah but i flew my mini 2 hundreds of times over a year and a half and it was super reliable. @@esoxenvy3112

[@esoxenvy3112]

Just picked up the new Atom drone. Already have the SE and like it. Was wondering if I can just use the same Potensic Pro program already on phone for both drones?

[@brianking7838]

I need to know that also!!

[@rolandomorales8322]

Yes, it uses the same program. You just need to choose between the SE and the Atom in the program

[@AmericanMadeAdventures]

Great review. I want one now! :)

[@RCEscape]

Thanks so much! I highly recommended the fly-more package comes with three 32 minute batteries and battery hub charger and 64gb card.

[@Chris-wi7zh]

Is it following you or the controller? I've heard it both ways . I'm considering buying this drone. DJI better for a noob?

[@RCEscape]

It is following the phone's gps signal so if you're in a location where your phone's gps is weak, it may have trouble following but if the gps is strong, it will lock on it better and follow better as well.

[@kwameknigge]

@@RCEscape It follows the target you select. Its visual tracking. Ive had it set up to track a friend of mine while i had the remote and it worked well

[@JR-bw3tr]

Thank you Pete It’s been awhile since I seen any new quadcopter episodes , but this potensic atom is not a bad mini drone , you think it’s a good beginner drone?… Quick question ?, do you think in your experience that this competes with the DJI 3 ?, or DJI 3 pro ?.

[@RCEscape]

Thanks! This is a very good beginner drone for the price. I have no issues recommending this drone to any beginner. Remember that it does not have obstacle avoidance so if the dji drones have that and you want that then dji is what you want. I myself don’t have any of those dji products to compare.

[@candlercando]

I think the circle at 57min chose the bigger object because the shadow of the car was right behind you in frame so maybe it thought the object was really the larger object. This is all around really really impressive for the price and size!!

[@RCEscape]

One of the best ones so far! Three batteries and charger with a 64gb card all for $399 is a very good deal. 👍👍

[@chipsawdust5816]

@@RCEscape I have to agree. I am in the process of returning my Mini 2 SE as it wouldn't connect to the controller even after DJI put me through all sorts of contortions to "fix it." I don't want to have to fix a brand new system. This one looks like a solid drone for less money (for either the drone and/or the fly more kit) and it does everything I can think of that a drone should be able to do for consumer-level flying and video/photo shooting. Thanks for the extended review. Your time spent doing this for us is much appreciated.

[@josephiyanda9952]

Pls tell me... what is the name and model of the drone mask you use for atom potensic ?

[@snatch709]

Hi Did the return to home altitude ever get sorted, i.e it seemed to ignore your limits and go higher?

[@RCEscape]

Hi, I didn't notice a tiny check marking the reason for the 400ft rth. I show you that in the follow up video in the distance test. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l33RnmWJi7aWrLM at around 1:30 into the video, I explain. Thanks.

[@timwilliams8293]

Try the arrow under signal lost

[@pixelpeter3883]

Thanks for this thorough review. Potensic did very well imo with the Atom. Did notice something weird (I think): at the begin of the video I notice that both the EV and WB (in K) indicators kept changing while you were flying around. Normally those should stay put. Can you manually set camera parameters?? BTW: I totally missed out on that €399 sale (or mistake?) price on the Autel Nano+ I mentioned a couple of days ago; it went back to €599 :-\

[@RCEscape]

Yes, the camera settings can be changed which I missed. The values kept changing because it was set to auto but you can set it to your preference. I will include those in the next video. Potensic also got back to me regarding the circle flight to see if they can update it so you can make changes while in the circle flight mode like changing the radius and altitude instead of getting you out of the mode with the sticks which would be excellent. Yeah, I thought it was really cheap too!

[@pixelpeter3883]

@@RCEscape Cool. Think if you could get Potensic to include the possibility to change the radius and altitude during the circle-flight, that it would improve the overal experience and usefulness of the Atom. Some more timelapse settings would be handy too :-) See if you can do some footage during dusk or dawn (not pitch dark) to show how the sensor handles low light. Will be interesting to see how your distance trial will go :-)

[@WildCaptures]

It’s a shame they didn’t add more camera adjustability. It would be nice to shoot in RAW photo format for post photo editing. Also to have AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) stacking different photo exposures for HDR aerial photography. It’s a great quad and they should be able to program that functionality into the app. The Mini 2 does this functionality 👍

[@RCEscape]

It does have some adjustments. I go over them in the distance test flight video.

[@bryantmaximilionalpha2840]

I think that after watching your review(s), of hte Atom, that I'll eventually purchase one. I will however, mod one of the antennae(if not both), with detacheable antenna so that I can add patch antennaes.

[@DaleK-j9g]

thats what i would do

[@shannonday739]

Hey there. I have a question. How do I get my drone to point downwards for a shot??? Quick mode does it in rocket. Am I missing something?

[@TonyHiggins]

The gimbal control is that wheel on the front of the controller. Use it to "scroll" the camera angle from horizontal to vertical.

[@seno408]

Thanks for the video. Could you make a compare between the atom and the version wirh SE of the videoquality?

[@RCEscape]

This is a field next to the Brewsters park. There is an air field near by but it is still a nice place to test out quads.

[@abghere]

[@IKPHOTOGRAPHY5]

@@RCEscape can you tell me its comparable to dji drone?

[@TonyHiggins]

@@IKPHOTOGRAPHY5 The quality of DJI cameras varies a lot between the different series - the more expensive units have bigger/better sensors even if their resolution is the same. A Mavic is going to capture better 4K than a Mini (even a Mini Pro). If the shot angle itself is going to impress more than the 4K/12MP disappoints, then go for it. Otherwise, this is more for personal use or social media - though it is excellent for the price.

What is the maximum phone width for the controller?

[@Scipio-Africannabis]

I have an Huawei P30 Pro and the controller could fit (roughly) another 1cm of phone before it was too big. My phone is 16cm so I think max phone length is 17cm. There is no max width because it plugs in sideways (it can be any width).

Only need to calibrate this Potensic Atom once. After that no more. Unless it asks you to do so.

[@DroneSyndrome]

@@driewielIf you do not get a prompt asking you for a calibration then it’s not necessary to do it but it’s always good to do it for the first time. You will also have to recalibrate it every time you fly from a different location that’s significantly farther from the previous one.

[@driewiel]

@@DroneSyndrome In my case a good optical flow drone would work nice. So I don't have to do compass calibration, wait for satellites, connect the phone, go through all the settings.Because if you are on a bike 120km a day you won't have time to spend an hour on a 3 second clip. So the quicker I can get it in the air the better. Sometihng like the Tello with WiFi controller and SD card slot would be nice. Then may let it get satellites once in the air and switch on GPS? The difference between me and people like you who fly drones as their hobby is that the only time I want a drone is once a year on a bike tour. So where you want the best video quality and long range, I'm more interested in how fast I can get it out of a bag and take a photo or short video. None of the drone reviewers here on YT test it! Maybe you can? Compare DJI Mini's to other drones. Which one is fastest? Which one has the best optical flow? What is the best quick shot drone? So that's what I want. A Billy the Kid quickdraw drone.
