Meets my expectations. Fun to fly!
I hadn’t flown a “real” drone in over 2 years. I was going to get a DJI but the delivery date was too far out because I wanted a drone for a specific date. I watched a lot of reviews on YouTube and decided to gives this one a shot. Are the videos cinema quality? No, but they look good. The gimbal really does its job keeping the horizon steady and flat. I could see the drone fighting the wind but the videos have been smooth. It controls nice. The flight time is excellent. The auto flight modes work well and provide some nice options for pictures. This drone is definitely a solid pic for the price. I don’t expect to be missing the DJI that I didn’t buy. If I have one concern it would be that it seems like if it crashed from anywhere above 6ft it probably would break. No hitting walls with this one..LOL.

Love at First Flight – Very addictive
I’ve flown larger drones for years and have enjoyed aerial photography. I’ve limited my flying to calm days as landing the high-chassis drones in a wind is challenging. They are also noisy and attract attention. I happened to hear about the Potensic Atom 3-Axis Gimbal drone and looked into it. After watching dozens of videos on YouTube and reading many reviews here on Amazon I was mildly surprised at all the positive reviews and almost no negatives. I joined Potensic’s Facebook group and was similarly impressed with the positive helpful nature of the feedback there. Since this drone was in the affordability-zone, I went ahead and ordered it.The Atom 3-Axis was rapidly delivered. My first order was for the complete setup with 3 batteries, carrying case, etc. It was well-packed and not damaged in transit at all. When I opened it up, I immediately felt very pleased. However, it was so small I coudl just imagine how effected it would be by gusty winds.I read the instructions (one big gripe: the manual is in such small type when printed out it is very hard to read). There was an on-line version that I spent time perusing. Everything makes sense in the manual – just need to learn the procedures for their features.The drone flys so easily. I totally ignore wind effects as the drone handles positioning quite fine. I’ve flown in 20mph winds with no difficulty. The drone will ask to come home if the winds are too gusty and I’m too far away.Video and photographic quality are excellent. I can produce satisfying 8×10″ prints from photographs on my ink jet printer with no maniuplation. Video is recorded in 1.7Gb chunks on the included SD card which I download and reassemble on my desktop. Video is crisp and clear even to the point of resolving twigs on trees just beginning to leaf out!Setup and flying is a joy. I fly in “normal” mode all the time now. I can go fast when needed yet still have control for slow movement needed for video. Range and connectivity are excellent. I don’t fly to terribly far away and I have zero issues with video breakup or loss of control.I use a Google Pixel 5 as my flight phone. It works very nicely with the Potensic controller. I wish the screen was brighter though as viewing the screen in sunlight is challenging. I’m thinking about using an 8″ tablet instead but one I got was even dimmer than my Pixel. I wish Potensic would sell a 6″ tablet with a sunlight viewable screen! Oh… one gripe… The USB cable between the controller and your phone/tablet is not a standard cable. Only an actual cable from Potensic will work.Bottom line, I’m just delighted with this drone. The first one I got landed in a tree due to operator error. I was frantic and ordered a replacement right away. Two days later, the drone fell out of a 40 foot tree and hit the ground below. I retrieved it and to my amazement, there was no damage at all! It survived the fall. Only issue was a bit of tree sap on the top of the drone! I’m still flying the original today and have this second one on hot-standby if ever needed. I love this drone!!

I’m very new to drones and I wanted a good “starter drone.” However this one will be with me for awhile. The ease of flying, ease of setup, and ease of use in general had me sold.If you’re looking for a drone with great picture/video, decent range and price point, just buy this one, honestly. You can YouTube reviews and by and large they’ll impress you. Though I don’t think reviews will do it justice. It has super clear video and pictures when you’re moving slow with good connection. This package is cheaper than many drones by themselves too. It’s well worth it when you consider the cost of batteries and carrying case.As an amateur this thing was super easy to fly. The stability is fantastic. The return to home is decent enough. (Might land about a meter or less off from where it took off) and the other features, track, follow, orbit etc. Are super fun. I use this a ton when I go out hiking or camping. The range is so good! Just auto safety features like connection loss and low battery makes it atuo return.Only thing I’d point out is to make sure the satellite icon isn’t red prior to take off.(it needs like +6 satellites or something) It will drift when you do that. I found out the hard way on a hike lol. Ended up hiking down an embankment to get it. It was totally fine though. Bit dirty and a couple marks but other than cosmetic damage it was good.Last thing I will say is you 100% need to take the free TRUST FAA course when flying ANY drone. Even the 250 grams and less ones like this one. It’s free and super easy. There’s more info on YouTube, but yeah it’s a new law here in the USA.

I am really impressed with this little thing. It is really easy to setup and start flying for a noob like me, and the controls are easy to pickup and get used to. The video quality on this here is pretty impressive too, especially considering the price.The footage is really stable, even when in `sport mode` and going pretty fast (like 20mph in winds) – and the gimbal is easy to control and get the shots that I want without thinking about it too hard.One thing I noticed is that in `auto` mode while filming, it can really blow out highlights if there is a lot of contrast, say with green trees and white sidewalk. Fortunately you can modify the the ISO and shutter speed to help combat this, but it isn’t always ideal since you only have so many flight minutes per battery. I’m hoping later firmware updates will help here, but I’m not holding my breath – and it isn’t really a big deal.Battery life is really respectable, I am impressed with how long this thing flies. In my tests its like 20 minutes before I land, but I tend to land with some battery left in case I see something else I want to film or fly over – so I don’t doubt the advertised 30 minute flight time (assuming the right conditions)The GPS is pretty good, and I quite like the autoreturn and autoland features, but I’ve gotten more comfortable doing both manually (its kind of fun) so I don’t use that as much now. But it works, and works pretty good.I don’t have any complaints, I really like this thing and look forward to flying it when ever I see a nice day out. It checked all my boxes too:- be a good price- have good and stable footage- have at least 20 minutes of flight time per chargeI didn’t try any of the intelligent flight modes, and I’m not really super interested in them – but if I do try them I’ll update this review with additional information on what I think about them.But overall: this is a great drone, I love it and would buy another in a heartbeat.

This is the best value drone and you’ll not be disappointed as it flies great. Everything you need is in the kit, but please remember to read the rules first and get an operator ID before taking it up and always use the drone assist app so you know where you can fly.The image quality is decent but the video is really pleasing, just note that the JPGs are upscaled from 8mp just like other drones so if you edit raw you’ll want to upscale the image after or before the edit.The software works without a hitch and the controller is responsive and comfortable, I don’t fly more than 500m and reception is good with no interference or lag.Overall it’s a really great drone and a good alternative to DJi’s cheaper offerings so I’ll probably stick with Potensic for a while.

âââââDie Potensic ATOM GPS Drohne ist einfach unschlagbar in Sachen Preis-Leistung! Mit der 4K Kamera und dem 3-Achsen-Gimbal liefert sie gestochen scharfe Videos und beeindruckende 12MP Fotos. Trotz ihres leichten Gewichts unter 249g ist sie sehr stabil und einfach zu steuern, was sie ideal für Anfänger macht. Die 96 Minuten Flugzeit mit den drei Akkus ist ein groÃer Pluspunkt, und die 6KM FPV Ãbertragung sorgt für eine fantastische Reichweite. Die Funktionen wie visuelles Folgen, QuickShots und RTH machen das Fliegen noch spannender und sicherer. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die eine hochwertige Drohne zu einem fairen Preis suchen!

I am so impressed! My friend has an dji mini 3 and even he had to admit it was just as good as his drone, and even has more fuctions. No issues, everything works perfect. Rock solid in strong winds and delivers bautiful pictures and video. Tested it out to 1,6km in less than ideal conditions before I lost contact, and the drone returned perfectly and landed within 1 meter of homepoint. Highly recommend this one.

Alors….Si vous cherchez à investir dans un drone, le tout, premier mais que le budget ne peut excéder 300, 350⬠et bien vous avez trouvé la petite perle rare .Vol et stabilité comme un pro , bonne qualité photo et très bonne vidéo ( Bluffant si c’est la première fois que vous utilisez ce genre de drone .Expédition prime , donc une petite journée d’attente seulement, paiement 4x, livraison sécurisé par code .J’ai commandé le pack Fly more âï¸ (369â¬), qui contient, la manette ( les joysticks sont sur la manette sur le dessous, simplement à les visser dans l’endroit prévu), le drone , 3 batteries ( annoncé pour 32 mn de vol, compter plutôt entre 22 et 24mn), le dock de recharge, tout les câbles utile ( USB C, iphone et USB A) , une carte mini sd de 64Go pour enregistrer vos vidéos ou photos sur l’appli, des hélices de rechange, la notice , et 1 petit tournevis et de la visserie, ainsi qu’une belle sacoche de qualité et de petite taille permettant de ranger tout ça ! Moins de 250g pour respecter la législation et voler sans licence.Mise en route diablement simple une fois l’application gratuite téléchargée ( Potensic Pro), allumer le drone ( 1 appuis sec suivi d’1 appuis long jusqu’à entendre la petite musique ), allumer la manetteð® , et enfin installer le téléphone sur la manette et le brancher via le câble fourni sur la manette . Démarrer l’application et c’est parti!!!ð¹ï¸Avant chaque première utilisation, étalonner la boussole du drone, tout simplement en suivant les indications à l’écran du tel.Une fois la boussole du drone étalonner, en faire de même avec la caméra , très simple il suffit de cliquer et cela ce fait tout seul.Et voilà ça y est , vous êtes pour votre premier vol, un simple clic dans l’application et le drone démarre , il ce stabilise à 1m20 de son point de décollage.Et là c’est parti , plusieurs mode de vol, vidéo, normal et sport , je conseille de rester sur le mode vidéo au départ , plus doux , moins rapide et facile à prendre en main.En moins d’une minute le drone ce retrouve à 120 mètres de haut ( hauteur limite imposé par la réglementation et le constructeur), gauche, droite , avant , arrière , zoom , tout ça est terriblement simple .Le drone permet l’utilisation de quickshot ( en gros plusieurs style de prise de vue différents), en spirale , en rond , en fusée, en recul et enfin en boomerang, tout ça à partir d’un point que vous aurez choisi et ciblé à partir de la caméra du drone , bref super simple de faire des vidéos digne d’un pro….Là où ce drone ce distingue de son concurrent le DJI mini 4k , c’est le mode suivi ( sélectionné une cible et la suivra automatiquement, pratique pour les randonnées et balade à vélo, à condition que le rythme ne soit pas soutenue, il à tendance à perdre sa cible sinon), et le mode waypoints , en gros placer plusieurs points sur une carte et le drone ce déplacera automatiquement d’un point à l’autre jusqu’à revenir au point de départ .Par contre le DJI 4k lui permet les panoramas et les vidéos 4k mais en 60 FPS.Pas de détecteur d’obstacles, vu le prix du drone il ne faut pas exagérer non plus .Donc pour les vacances, les randonnées, les soirées BBQ, le sport ou même l’inspection de gouttières ou toitures , vous ne serez vraiment pas déçu . Pour les 6km annoncé de distance possible, on passe plutôt à 1.7 ou 2km en plein champs et bien moins en ville .Les points Top :ððLe prix , la confiance en vol, qualitée des vidéos en 4k (même avec seulement 30fps), la petite place facile de ce déplacer avec le pack complet, facile et simple à prendre en main. Rapport qualité-prix imbattable à l’heure actuelle.Les points Flop :ð¤¦ð»ââï¸Régulièrement des petites perte sur la transmission vidéo en direct ( ça lag pas mal à distance ). Pour avoir les vidéos en 4k 30 FPS il faut obligatoirement télécharger les vidéos sur un pc, en lecture simple téléchargé sur l’appli la qualité vidéo et de seulement 720P. Moins de temps de vol et aussi de portée en vol qu’annoncé par le constructeur, mais visiblement c’est le cas sur tout les drones dans cette gamme de prix même chez DJI le précurseur et top 1 en matière de drone .
