I'm someone who often has the bad habit of impulse buying .. and then reading all the reviews after the fact. So far I've done ok though. My Atom arrives tomorrow! It was a choice between a Hover Air x1, a DJI Mini 3, or the Atom. It's really nice to see all the positive reviews on YT. I plan to use mine for e-bike MTB rides, hiking/camping/fishing, family gatherings, all kinds of projects. I got the fly more package which includes fast charger with 3 batteries, a nice carry case, some extra propellers, and a 64gb SD card.
I just bought one because guys like you do the testing, no way would I have been brave enough to say bye bye to my drone AND fly over water for 2 miles, your a hero 👍😁 subbed because of that & thanks for the tips
Thanks for the video i picked one up even though i have a dji. The main reason is I've been on vacation a number of times and the GEOFENCING prevented me from flying in places where drones are allowed or i have to ask for permission that never comes. With this i fly where i want when i want"as long as it's allowed" so i take this on vacation now i love it.
I Have 6 DJI drones, & a Autel Evo Lite Plus. I just ordered the Potesic Atom 3 axis gimbal version, to have another drone without Geofencing. I bought a new open box, fly more combo for $260 shipped from ebay. This is going to be my beater drone lol.
Yeah, it's a little misleading to say 6km, but it's still correct, however. It does have a 6km range, but you obviously need to get it back unless you want to lose your drone. So effectively a 3km range.
I'm about to upgrade my starter drone. I'm in Michigan, 180 KM due W of Sarnia. I love your videos! Sooo calm, interesting and fun. Be well up there :)
Great range compared to what? My 7 year old MINI2 has nearly twice the range and is only limited due to battery life. I can go out 3.5 miles and STILL have 100% video/controller reception. These guys have a long way to go before they even get close to being a DJI .Mini...
Wow. I'm awaiting delivery of my Atom with fly more kit. I am so amazed with your test. Doubtful I will even reach 1km. Can't see when anyone needs this distance on a mini drone tbh. Great great video 👍👍 new subscriber
Thanks for pointing out the battery status location. A shame it's so hard to read. Nice test. 2,000 yards looks very dependable. Since it isn't wifi, you could try putting your phone in airplane mode then turn on location if necessary.
Got the old SE combo and live on a lake , Did line of sight obvously, couldn't see . but no obstructions, to an island got 2.8 miles no wind landed w 40% but wasnt flying against wind on return trip . Cant knock these drones !!!!!!
nice flight along lakeside!!! the batteries for the SE are compatible with the Atom but they do put u over the 250g mark by quite a bit, the app pops a warning. - its own batteries give a very good time in the air too - 😀😀😀both fly so well - if u like flying then potensic are a no-brainer!! Atom and Atom SE - i think the Atom flies best - and its got a 3 axis gimbal.
Hey thanks for checking it out! It's a great drone with lots of features and excellent range. It's definitely a competitor with the big boys with this one
Thinking of buying this drone - max range is always going to be clear of obstructions - any tests of range through foliage? Would like to use for wildlife spotting.
I got one just recently and this little drone is amazing! max I have done is a mile cause I am afraid that is battery is too low it will just crash. Will it return home when battery is getting low or if it looses connection with remote?
Solid range test. Any issues with needed phone App? Also, App commenter mentioned it won't fly at night after latest App update. Could you possibly verify that this will fly at night...Thx man.
My friend has a non three axis version he can fly at least 4km out and 4km back, so u should try 6km out and 6 back. My Dji mini 4 pro can fly at least 8.5km out at Scarborough buffs and 8.5km back😮
Yeah but with the money you saved you can take the Mrs out for lunch to keep her sweet & buy a spare batteries or maybe 2 😅 Check it's formatted correctly. Make sure it's 8gb or over. Try another make of card, if that fails make sure settings are correct for the camera /video. Get more help 😊
