Potensic ATOM 3-Axis Gimbal 4K GPS Drone, Under 249g, 96 Mins Flight, Max 6KM Transmission, Visual Tracking, 4K/30FPS QuickShots, Lightweight for Adults and Beginners, Fly More Combo

Relatively novice, this is my second drone. I began with a Holy Stone 175 which seemed like a nicely featured package for the price, but I found learning to control it well awkward- crashing a lot. Not disastrously- but rarely landed 'on all fours'. Not something I'm heavy into, but these have become quite a nice "tool" to have if you want to get a bird's eye view of your property, etc. So I began shopping for something with a bit more features and function which would hopefully both provide a better experience and be more user-friendly. In mind, I was mainly thinking about features such as automatic collision avoidance, which I soon found not especially available without a much higher price tag, and rarely found on drones that stay below the weight / size requiring FAA registration, etc. I was already familiar with many of the automatic path / auto-return type functions, but didn't have the ability of auto-hover, which many now have and something you'll find to be a real plus- the drone instantly holding it's location and altitude at any time you're not actively moving the controls. A higher level of wind resistance / compensation also a great feature that not only improves photo/video, it helps to keep you "in control" and not over-compensating in ways that will cause the novice to crash. Nearly all brand drones in this range touted having these functions, and for me the most frustrating aspect was that ALL of their ads barely provided more than a short bulleted list of functions, focusing almost entirely on hyped up videos with no real details that would help you make a good choice. I'd at first been leaning toward purchase of a DJI, which had great reviews until discovering that one thing they failed to disclose without some deeper investigation was that the DJI control was going to hound and pound you with advertising pop-ups in the midst of your fun unless you paid an extra fee to stop them. Who needs annoying ad hype getting in your face while trying to control drone flight? Don't we get enough of that already?! That killed it for me with DJI- no way will I buy and support any product which goes after consumers like that. Probably the biggest factor that entered my final decision to go with the Potensic Atom was it's wired control connection with the smartphone, instead of it's relying on wi-fi link which I'd found to be pretty problematic with my first unit, even in areas where it shouldn't have been a problem. And in my use so far, this has proven to really boost trouble-free connection with the drone, and fast, solid communication with it. The improved connection, and the basic flight stability of the Potensic has meant that now I'm not only flying more often, with further distances and for longer periods, I've done so without even coming close to having a single 'crash', landing both in auto and manually 100% so far. I'm still a little awkward with the controller, in that you really have to learn how to hold these things without accidentally having a finger activate or change a function that you didn't mean to. With this one, today I accidentally pressed the power button and shut off the controller with the drone at 200 feet up and running low on power. Thankfully the auto-hover kept it in place while I powered back on, re-established connection with the drone and safely brought it down. Another great feature of the Potensic is the 3-axis gimbal camera. It provides incredibly steady and clear hi-res video. Long-life batteries offer flight times of as much as 30 minutes before need to return for a fresh battery, and the package that comes with 3 batteries, the soft carrying case and multi-charging accessory means you can put in a lot of time in the air before need to call it a day. A bit more initial cost, but worth it if you can spare the extra at buying time. Overall so far, I'm super-pleased with my purchase of the Potensic Atom (the Atom SE was actually said to be the right choice for the novice/beginner, but it fell short of some features I wanted, and the Atom hasn't been tough to learn in the slightest.)

Me gustó mucho el dron solo que la caja del dron venía muy maltratada y pensé que era usado y venía abierta la caja

This is my second drone from Potensic (had the Atom SE prior). This is the only drone you need for your professional content creation. Let me explain: Price/Quality ratio: Easily the best there is in that price range period. Remote: Simple, intuitive, natural are the qualities that comes to mind when using it. Make sure to align the drone and the antennas for best performance. The remote opens to get your phone in the middle to connect to the app/remote/drone. The controls are sensitive enough for a smooth experience and a precise one. It is reactive and the controls are easy, even for a beginner. App: A clean interface that does a really good job at guiding you when you need it and letting you be autonomous when you feel comfortable enough. A manual is included in the app so any questions you have can be answered on the spot. The app lets customize your flight experience and is easy to use while the drone is in the air. Drone: With a weight of 249g, no need for registration or anything. The level 5 wind resistance makes it easy to fly in almost every condition without the trajectory of your flight being affected. The small size of the drone makes it easy to bring along for any trip. I do recommend keeping it in the designated case to make sure you don’t damage it. The drone looks well done and professional. With a microSD card of reasonable memory size, you can take shots all day and then easily transfer to your computer or phone to then edit or just look at your footage. This drone is solid but be always mindful of your surroundings. GPS tracking will get you your drone back if you venture too far, and it will lend exactly where it started with the auto return key and auto lending feature. Camera: A 4k with 30fps and 12MP lets you make nice and clean videos and pictures. You can take your content creation to the next level with the intelligent modes, and it has never been this easy. The camera is responsive and stable. With the 3-axis gimbal, it will make your content amazing without having to edit for hours. Fly More Combo: I absolutely recommend this combo as you get a charging station, a case and three batteries of around 30 mins flight each (depending on the flight mode: sport, normal, video). The batteries hold their charges, and the flight time is decent with one battery. Customer service: Responsive and helpful, they will make every effort to help you and will stay with you until completely satisfied. Potensic is a rising company that easily sets the bar as to what a drone should be and do. I absolutely recommend this drone for beginners, all the way to professionals. This drone will get you there. Will definitely by again when new models are available !

This is a review for the Potensic ATOM 3-Axis Gimbal 4K GPS Drone, Under 249g, 96 Mins Flight This drone is absolutely fantastic for the price. This performs just as well as the more well known brands at a serious discount. The GPS features, camera modes, and inbuilt stabilization actually make this much easier to fly than those less expensive drones. The drone itself is very quick, and captures stabilized video in fantastic quality. That fantastic quality is topped off by being controlled by an onboard gimble, meaning you can look at things from all sorts of angles, point it almost straight down to check out your roof, or up high to get some fantastic cinematic shots. Though I'm kind of loathe to say this, I dropped this drone the very second I unpackaged it and it shrugged off the hit like I had done nothing to it. I'm used to such accidents snapping props and all sorts of chaos on less expensive drones, but this guy right here is very, very durable. While I think the 6KM range is a bit of a stretch, this drone does have a long range, and it's very easy to accidentally go beyond visual range because you typically get rock solid video from the unit. The included soft case is fantastic for bringing your drone wherever you want; typically I stash it in my car where it's basically invisible. This was my first "Serious" drone, and honestly, it's so much easier to fly than those cheaper ones. The best way to describe the difference is that one cheaper drones, the vertical controls control the speed of your props, and the height will be variable depending on external factors. For drones of this class, the vertical controls set your height, and the onboard computer takes care of the variable factors for you. I liked flying drones before, but now I LOVE flying. What you get for the price in this set is fantastic.

Buena calidad en los materiales, buena duración de la batería depende el uso pero si dura unos 25 min aprox con viento y uso frecuente, como extra puedes comprar las cubiertas de helice para protección si eres primerizo ya que a veces por los nervios llegas sentir que pierdes el control. El alcance muy bueno y en todos los sentidos
