The Potensic ATOM is sub-250 grams and has a 3-axis gimbal which is BIG upgrade of the original ATOM SE. It shoots 4K up to 30fps and the fly ore combo comes with a 60watt quick charging hub and 3 batteries. With it being less than 250 grams registration and remote ID are not required if you fly recreationally. And...this sucker is FAST!!! This is a complete and thorough review. This could be the BEST budget GPS drone currently on the market. Find the Potensic ATOM here: amzn.to/486uEPg.

After a lot of research I ended up buying this drone. My friend had bought a DJI Mini 2 and was so impressed by the Potensic that he returned the DJI and got this drone and the fly more kit that comes with the three extra batteries and the tandem charger for less than what he had paid for the basic DJI package with just one battery.

@GadgetInspector 5 месяцев назад

Wow. I think it'd be hard for me to go from a Mini 2 to the Atom BUT if I was trying to save money I'd do it. Solid little drone.

@GadgetInspector 7 месяцев назад

Glad you're enjoying it. My main con with the first iteration was the lack of a gimbal. Now that they remedied that there's not much negative I can say about this drone (except for the horizon tilt which they've already addressed in a firmware update). They can continue to build on this with updates and new iterations in the future.

@MattSwanson 2 месяца назад

Really, REALLY appreciate the time and effort it took for you to produce this. Seriously - I've made a few little videos here and there, and this was SO comprehensive - thank you so much! I have a couple questions, now that you've had this for a while. Which DJI drone would you say this most closely competes with? (Perhaps the newly-released Mini 4k - $50 more for fly-more combo?) I have the DJI Pocket 3, and LOVE it. It just...works. Plus, the ability to shoot in D-Log and grade with a snap using any of the editors (I've been using CapCut and loving it, but LightCut is pretty fantastic as well for quick things). I've poked around the manual for the Potensic and can't seem to see anything about video codecs, so I'm assuming everything's baked in - is that your experience? Have you tried to push the footage at all? My needs for a drone are NOT huge - as much as I WANT the mini 4 pro (with the RC2), I do NOT want to spend 1k for it, lol. I'd be using this mostly for aerial shots of golf courses I frequent, while using the Pocket 3 for 95% of everything else on the ground. I'm a beginner, so I may be better off looking for a used DJI with obstacle avoidance, but just trying to figure out the best next move :) Once again, hugely grateful for your effort in putting this review together, and looking forward to what else you produce!

I think the Anafi has some uniqueness so I wouldn't necessarily call this an upgrade or really make a direct comparison. The ATOM is under 250 grams so no registration or remote ID and it has a LOT to like. Moreso a budget alternative to the DJI Mini series or Autel Nano series of drones.

@11290slk 7 месяцев назад

The tilted horizon in your video wasn't as bad as some I've seen in other videos, but still needs work. Also in some of your "higher altitude" videos, the horizon displays some "fisheye" effect. Likely a result of just being a lesser expensive lens on the camera than some other quads. Still pretty decent though. Nice review video.

@GadgetInspector 7 месяцев назад

Potensic addressed the horizon tilt in a recent firmware update. I'll be posting a video on it soon. Hmm, I'll have to look for that, but I didn't really notice any fisheye. That happens when a drone has a small sensor with a wide field of view. If it's there I barely noticed if at all.

@jasinZ28 2 месяца назад

I bought the SE and immediately fell in love with it, then I realized I bought the wrong one. I gave the SE to my grandson and bought the Atom for me. Now I dont have to fly my Dji Mavic Pro 2 all the time. This little guy is impressive, and it has 2x Zoom! This thing is fast in sport mode! Super easy to fly! My only complaint is that the speaker placement in the remote is absolutely pitiful. You can hardly hear it if you're in a busy area with lots of background noise.

@Graybear78 5 месяцев назад

First, thank you for your excellent analysis of both the Atom and the Atom SE. When first viewed last summer, the camera leveling problems stopped me from purchasing the drone. They seem to have corrected many of the issues. The camera seems to have also been improved, but as the seasons are not the same, it's hard to tell. The lack of color in the trees impairs that analysis. Did you find any problems with lack of detail on closeup views, as other reporters have indicated? Secondly, when an altitude is set, does that altitude stay the same as set at the home point, or does the actual altitude vary with the undulating terrain, as in hilly country, i.e. maintaining the same altitude above the terrain? Thanks again for your videos.

@GadgetInspector 4 месяца назад

I can't really speak to closeup shots, I don't really look to capture those. When it comes to terrain recognition, this drone doesn't have anything like that so as the elevation changes you will need to manually adjust the height of the drone to accommodate.

@Graybear78 4 месяца назад

Frankly, I'm torn between the Potensic Atom and the DJI mini 2 SE. As with others, I am concerned with the current hullabaloo going on re: the DJI drones. The $50 or so dollars for the DJI seems worth it after reading some comparison videos I have seen. Thanks for the response. Maintaining a status 100 feet above ground, regardless of terrain, I would think would be a lot more costly. @@GadgetInspector

@raybutt4084 6 месяцев назад

Hi. If you set the height at 200ft and you fly towards a mountian that is 250ft would the drone rise up as the ground under it comes up or would it crash into the mountian. The reason I ask is there’s no level Terran where I live like it’s your at sea level one minute and 6-700 ft the next. And they say you can’t fly above 400 ft as I do know the reason for that.

@GadgetInspector 6 месяцев назад

Hey Ray. The drone would most certainly crash right into that mountain. The operator would need to take the drone to above 250 to avoid disaster. Most if not all consumer drones that I know of don’t have the proper sensors for automatically adjusting to terrain elevation changes. The 400 ft agl rule applies to where you took off so if you’re on a mountain that’s 500ft tall you can fly up to 900 feet. Also, if you are in close proximity to a structure you can fly 400ft above that. This is straight from the part 107 reg: “The altitude of the small unmanned aircraft cannot be higher than 400 feet above ground level unless the small unmanned aircraft is (1) flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure, and (2) does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure’s immediate uppermost limit.”

@@GadgetInspector thank so much this is good info I have the potensic atom 3 axis on the way and I’m going on you fellas in regards of a good low price drone. I have always wanted to do my private pilot licence but I couldn’t pass the medical. So I think this is as close as I’m going to get to being a private pilot lol.

Hello again. Just a quick Q would you buy the potensic 3 axil gimbal or the dji mini pro 4

@GadgetInspector 6 месяцев назад

Well, we could talk a long time about which drone to buy and why, but the short answer is, it depends. The mini 4 pro is simply a much more advanced drone and the price reflects that. The Potensic is more in the budget category and the price reflects that. You just have to ask yourself whether the more advanced machine is worth the expense for you or if something more budget friendly makes sense. Especially if this is your first drone and you’re still getting familiar with quadcopters. With all of that said, I’m actually considering the pro 4 or the Air 3 because they both have side obstacle avoidance. I currently own the mini 3 pro and the Air2S, both fantastic drones but neither has the 360 degree sensors. I’m thinking about selling my mini 3 pro towards one of the new models.

@raybutt4084 6 месяцев назад

@@GadgetInspector yes I get where your coming from when it come to high tec you have to pay the higher price Although I got the potensic on the way I’m thinking I should go with the dji pro 4 for the reason it as obstacle avoidance and I can see that being a good feature to have in my area Okay that you so much

@GadgetInspector 6 месяцев назад

@@raybutt4084 I say go for it then Ray. DJI does drones the best, it's not even close. They're even making noise in the camera market now. Don't rely too heavily on the obstacle avoidance though, it's darn good, but not foolproof.

If you want to use a tablet instead of a phone, you have to use a tablet that has 4g or 5g service. Make sure the tablet is no more than a few years old. I bought an 8" Samsung galaxy tab A that was made in 2020 from eBay for $40 and it works good. The older tablets are too slow and the screen freezes constantly. The newer the tablet the better.

@GadgetInspector 6 месяцев назад

@driewiel 7 месяцев назад

It could have been a great altrnative to a DJI Mini...... if Potensic had improved the follow-me feature and added a homepoint update option. Because that a DJI Mini doesn't have, unless you buy Litchi, Maven or Dronelink. Instead they thought it was a good idea to give it useless optical tracking. Without obstacle avoidance that idea is even worse. This means the Atom is not for hikers and bikers. A missed opportunity.

I’ve followed a few reviews on this drone, my opinion there are far better options already available, the camera quality is ok however the footage for the most part is unusable due to the constant gimbal tilt , that I have also seen in other reviews, with regards wind I don’t see the trees moving at all. I made a video with the Mini 2 in high winds no gimbal tilt and trust me the trees are bending , it’s available on my channel. Again my opinion buy something else, don’t be fooled with the Flymore kit as no point with extra batteries if the drones not producing usable footage, thanks for your review.
