This is my first drone and Im glad I went with this instead of something bigger and more expensive. This is the perfect platform to learn on and it is very easy to fly. Anything more powerful and I would probably get myself into trouble because Im new to drones. For 350 bucks this is a crazy good deal. 90 minutes of flight time is a lot and the whole package just feels extremely high quality. Nothing feels cheap at all. The camera takes very high quality video and pictures and is perfectly stabilized. Im definitely going to get my license because Im hooked and I want to use the footage for my videos and my business. I would hands down recommend this drone. I looked at every option in this price and category and this is the best deal.

LOVE This little guy, he's got attitude, it's fast, nimble, and confident. A little wind does not bother him at all. He just gets louder & yells at it. Wild little thing!!Amazing Mini-Drone. This drone has features found in many way more expensive drones. Love that it doesn't require calibrating every time it takes off or lands AND the batteries support hot-swapping from the drone to the parallel charger. It's deadly accurate on RTH, never misses the landing pad. The camera is awesome! Flying this in sport mode, with the camera in FPV mode, is a truly immersive experience All in All, this is an everyday go to camera drone that you can trust. The customer support is excellent as well. I had an issue with the gimbal & they went out of thier way to solve it.

For all intense purpose, to me this appears a DJI knock off of a earlier DJI mini, just lower quality build and packaging. The video is even very similar if you had a older DJI mini. You'll recognize it.In some you tube reviews it manages decent range. In one notable other a reviewer hardly makes it out of a park before losing signal. My experience is somewhere in between closer to the latter. It did not achieve great range. Couple thousand feet or less. . This could and likely is caused by interference and obstruction. Staying under the FAA 400 ft limit in a suburban area I managed less than 2000 feet before video signal break up and rth. The video was lagging and banding before that. You would likely have better luck in a more rural setting, plains or desert. Some place with less interference and better elevation and decent line of sight. Or if you exceeded the 400 ft FAA limit (,I don't advise you do this). Some drones have done better in range tests at this same location. Even less expensive drones. The potensic seems especially sensitive to interference. In flying it is a fun flyer. Handles well. Stable. Almost no deviation holds it's spot well. Impressive. The only exception being wind. I noted it jumped around quite a bit in mild wind especially during ascent and decent. Enough it showed in the video despite the gimble. This is not entirely unexpected for such a small lite drone.During set up there was a moment I couldn't calibrate. Said the camera was over heated. No fan in this unit but normally shouldn't be a problem the air movement cools it off. After giving it a little cool down (and yes left the video off) the over heat message did disappear and I was able to calibrate. Not uncommon drones with fans often have fans kick on when left still and turned on. This just doesn't have a fan (and really doesnt need one). Take note of this because in hovering in warm temperatures overheating may be a possibility. For some reason the drone has not updated it's firmware. It may or may not later it was just something I noticed as drones I've set up often have a immediate update in firmware. Neither the drone or the controller has updated. (Yet).The drone build quality while decent appears slightly under DJI, as the packaging. Long term this is a unknown Factor far as longevity. It could last a while. Or not. The charging hub works. It's reasonably well made.. You'll see this throughout the drone package. A recurrent theme. With the exception perhaps of the controller. It's actually a fairly well made controller. Controller made better than the rest of package. And if you notice it looks really similar to another brand controller they came out with a few years ago. Almost identical in fact. So we know where the controller design (and build) likely came from. About the only thing not seemingly a DJI cheaper copy.The drone itself comes well packed and reminds me heavily of DJI. Just everything slightly lower quality except the charging hub.Can I recommend this drone? For the $300 -$400 price range yes. Everything works. Made slightly lower perhaps too achieve a price point. It's a stable (if not in wind) very fun flyer. The application, the drone, charging hub all consumer friendly (some drones are in Chinese still). The charging hub and controller the best points in this package. I do like the controller quality.The drone isn't geo locked unlike some other brands. If that matters to you. It leaves the person flying it at their own choice but does come up with warnings to let the user know they may be in violation of federal or local laws. So it's informative while not overly restrictive. The camera quality is definitely not pro but usable. Fair at this price point. This drone does not have obstacle avoidance. Which at this price point you wouldn't want anyway because if it had obstacle avoidance it probably wouldn't work right. With the pretty well made controller and the charging hub is a convenient user friendly package. User friendly and cheaper seems drones theme. It even comes with a charging brick unlike dji (way to go DJI on the air 3 here I go again) which makes you buy the charging brick separate (grr).Alternatives:? Any of the Rukos, sjrc, and Ruko copy models especially if you want something better in wind and are willing to exceed the 250 grams and take the TRUST quiz do the $5 drone registration. It's not hard. And the drones are heavier and more sturdy. They unfortunately often have lower quality controllers and no battery hub. Though the drones themselves appear sturdier. F22s is over 250g (requiring reg) about the same price point and higher wind resistance with at least frontal obstacle avoidance.Or a older model DJI mini can be had in this price range or less. Which is kind of what this appears anyway. The newer faith mini is in this league. Worth a look. There is alternatives, especially if you shop other than Amazon, but for the $300- $400 mini drone segment this is one of the better buys. Better closer to the $300 mark. Just remember if you are spending less than half 1/2 the price of the DJI it won't match up to DJI quality in camera or build. Other than perhaps the controller. Which again, the highest quality part of this package seems to be the controller. Looking real similar to another brand. The price is inching up toward the $400 mark on this now. Still fair. But If it keeps going up I'd suggest you consider alternatives. There is decent quality alternatives. If the price goes to $500 minus a star from this review. If you want affordable fun this could be for you. It's good for the average consumer. If you want quality move up into the autel DJI, skydio, other higher model brands. Just remember there is a cost. Potensic offers a decent product for this consumer friendly mini drone price point.Potensic declined to send me one for testing. So I bought this with my own money. This review is not paid or sponsored. It is of my opinion only. In messages potensic customer service said they made their own sensor. I inquired of various sensors in their drones. The listing says this has a Sony sensor. Potensic in communication says they made their own. Contradictory. I'm left to think there is a communication issue, or potensic customer service doesn't know their own products. This could be a factor in attaining quality customer support..

This is the first drone that I have ever flown. I am completely impressed! There is a little setup learning curve but once you have that figured out it is not only simple, but it is fun and easy to fly. The 3 axis camera is super steady and has an incredible picture for a drone at this price point. If you can afford the extra $100 for the fly more kit, I would recommend it as you will get the carry bag and an extra battery along with a few other accessories. I would buy this again in a heartbeat!

My first drone and a noobie as one can get. We are not delving too much into the details here as I feel one needs to do their research when determining what drone may work best for them. I read/watched oodles of reviews before coming to the conclusion the Potensic Atom would be best suited as my first drone.Overall super impressed with the fly more kit as everything looks and feels premium. Love the RC and its formfactor as it feels so natural to use. The 60W charging hub that provides a quick-charge for 3 batteries at once, in 1.5 hours, is a big bonus. Included in the package is a very nice case to hold all the gear including the drone.So far I've had one "test" flight yet we were super impressed how things went for someone who's green as one could be for novice drone pilot. Yes I was super nervous but shortly into the flight the drone's "smart" features/abilities had me somewhat at ease. Never once did I feel the drone was out-of-control not even a smidgen. It's the time of the year when wind gusts where I live can get a bit excessive, bummer cuz I'm really looking forward to another flight... Once we have more flight time under our belt I'm sure we'll feel much more comfortable flying it in the wind, but until then we'll just need to remain patient.I flew in lighting conditions that were less than optimal so there was a fair amount of grain in the video, no surprise as the reviews pointed that out. Even though, we were still very impressed the image quality and stability the 3-axes gimble provides. Definitely yearning for more now, yet those "nice" days are becoming far-n-few between so hopefully we don't have to wait too long.Right now as of my review the Potensic Atom is discounted with an additional coupon that can be applied. Very good price in my opinion for something of this caliber. Also included in the package, for a limited time, is a 64GB Lexar MicroSD card. So other than providing a smartphone for the RC everything else is there to start flying A.S.A.P.

Brilliant little drone that has exceeded my expectations. When I first opened the box I thought how small the drone was. Not expecting much, I got it up and running and was really surprised at the stability and picture quality. It really is so easy to fly and the added bonus is if you get into trouble you just tell it to return home by itself.I think the instructions could do with better explanations. The tutorial videos are good but don't fully explain what the different settings do. Trial and error will probably resolve this in time.Aside from that, there is nothing to dislike.I did have an issue with headless mode. (Look it up if, like me, you had no idea what it is) The tutorial video mentioned it but I couldn't find a setting in the app. After contacting Potensic support, who i have to say are excellent, they said that due to patent infringment they could no longer support this function. They apologised profusely and sent me a spare set of blades for my inconvenience. They seem to be a company who really want to stand out in terms of customer service and they really wanted to know where this mode was mentioned in the video so that the information could be corrected.There's too much to mention about the drone's capabilities. Look at the online reviews. I found them to be very useful in terms of finding out what the drone can do.Summing up. I don't have any other drones so don't know how this one compares. What I can say is that it totally impressed me with it's flight stability, camera quality and battery life. I got the fly more set with 3 batteries which, personally, I think is worth it. Time will tell if I use it enough though. You feel comfortable flying it even after a few flights. If you go the wrong way, just take your hands off the controls and it will sit there rock solid until you regain your composure.Also rest assured that if you do encounter a problem or have a question, Potensic customer service will be there to support you. I think this is worthy of mention.My advice would be if having watched the various videos online, you think this is the right drone for you then go for it. You won't be disappointed.
