ATOM 3-Axis Gimbal 4K GPS Drone, Under 249g, 32 Mins Flight, 6KM Long Range Transmission, Visual Tracking, 4K/30FPS QuickShots, 12MP Photo, Lightweight and Foldable for Adults Beginners

Bought the Atom over a year and a half ago. I flew it maybe 3-4 times in the first month since it was winter time and super cold out. Then life got busy, and I forgot I even had this thing until this past weekend, I finally broke it out of the box again. Man is thing is impressive. Especially for the price point. Best value for your dollar out there. It’s super easy to fly, even for someone with little to no experience with flying quadcopters/drones. My 6 year old figured it out in about 3 mins. Camera and video quality are fantastic. Takes great photos. I keep pushing it farther each time a take it out to the field nearby. So far I’ve flown it 2,600 ft or so away from my and the streaming feed stays strong, but only if you’re in an open field with a good line of sight to the drone itself, otherwise it gets a bit laggy. It can take quite a beating too. I’ve crashed it 3 times into trees now. Only once did it need a blade/prop replacement since one got cracked. Otherwise it gets right back up, dusts itself off, laughs, then it keeps flying like nothing ever happened. The camera modes are fun, been playing with those too. For this price point you even get a “follow target” mode. So I had my kiddo be the target and run around the field. It tracks him pretty well, as long as he doesn’t do a 180 on a dime and run the other direction and it can’t keep him in frame fast enough so it loses track…which is to be expected from any drone really. The speed is amazing. It’s slow enough in beginner mode where you never feel like it will get away from you. Normal mode kicks it up quite a few notches to where flying it around is quick and fun, then you get to play with all of the distance and height limiters. Now sport mode is ridiculously fast. 35mph out of this little thing is nuts. Battery life is drained on sport mode, respectfully so. Batteries seem to last between 20-25 mins depending on use. Which is surprisingly quite longer than you’d think, especially if you’re used to $50-100 drones. Night and day difference. My only gripe with it is that it could use some quieter propellers. It’s significantly louder than my neighbor’s DJI Mini 3. Speaking of, these are two very similar and comparable drones. Practically all the same features, but the DJI has a slightly better camera and controller. This one has some features that the DJI doesn’t have, and the DJI has features that the Potensic doesn’t have. However, for the price, I can nearly buy two of these at the discounted rate for the price of one DJI…and my neighbor even tells me every time we fly together that he is super impressed with this Potensic and that he nearly bought this one too before he got the DJI. Overall, if you want the best entry drone out there with some of the best features for the best price. Look no further.

Purchased the Atom 3 axis gimble fly more kit in February 2024. I have only put maybe 2 hours of flight time on this Drone as I have been busy with outdoor projects. Today I had some free time and thought I would get some Drone time in. When I powered on the Drone and entered the Potensic app, there was a Firmware update notice to version 3.4.5. I decided to go ahead with the update since I had a fully charged Batteries and Controller. After the update I noticed my Gimble would not stay in the neutral position and would drift all the way up on its own. So I powered everything off, exited the App and tried again with same issue. I tried calibrating the Gimble but it did not fix the issue. Tried calibrating the remote control and was not able to complete the process because the Gimble control did not respond correctly. Powered off everything again, this time I could complete the remote control calibration but the Gimble still would pan up all the way and would not hold the position set. Ok, I give up and try contacting Potensic support, we will see how good the Customer service is at Potensic. Everything else works like it should, just the Gimble issue. This a deal breaker for me because I bought this for the great reviews and image quality at the price I really hope Potensic will stand behind their product. I will update this review when/if I get a response from Potensic. After working with Potensic I decided this drone may be defective and returned it for a refund and went back to the drawing board to research another sub 249g Drone to purchase. UPDATE - Potensic reached out to me and offered to send me a new drone Kit with single battery to give the Potensic another try. Sure glad theyHorizoe received the new drone today 7/24/2024 and immediately started charging the Battery and Remote control. After a full charge I went thru and loaded the Potensic app, calibrated everything and went out to do some test flying. WOW! The Camera Gimble worked flawlessly, it did not move up or down by itself and the Horizon was dead flat. The video looked great, smooth and seemless. Battery life is very good and charges quickly. I went thru all the preconfigured quick shots, tried the GPS mapping, RTH feature, shot video at 4K 30fps, took pictures and I have to say this Drone really performs extremely well for the price paid. I am extremely glad Potensic reached out to me and asked me to give them another chance. So in conclusion, I would like to give a much deserved shout out to Potensic customer service for making EVERY EFFORT to add another happy customer to the ever expanding number of people who are flying Potensic Atom Drones, and thank you for not giving up on me! I would recommend this Atom Drone to family and friends and to anyone who is looking for a really fun quality Drone to fly!

Awesome drone! Great stability even in 20+ mph winds. Great range, easy to use app. Very very user friendly. I unfortunately wrecked it, but I emailed potensic repair services (at 11pm) and they promptly replied within 20 mins!!!! Their customer service is beyond amazing! The video quality on this drone is very surprisingly clear. And surprisingly for as small and light as the drone is, it flys great. It's a mini drone with big drone attitude! both photos were taken with the potensic atom 4k 3 axis

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 charge I 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.

Il drone ha tante qualità e mantiene tutte le sue promesse ma ci sono già tante recensioni per questo e quindi non mi soffermerò sulle caratteristiche tecniche. Ecco alcune note e consigli dopo 3 mesi di utilizzo: Innanzitutto vi straconsiglio la versione combo rispetto a quella base, vi garantite oltre un ora di divertimento senza dover ricaricare, la comodità di un caricabatterie rapido a 3 posti, due set di eliche di ricambio, una scheda di memoria e una pratica borsa per il trasporto; vale TUTTI gli 80€ richiesti in più. 👍🏻 Per i principianti: tenete ben presente che NON ci sono sensori anti collisione, sconsiglio quindi un utilizzo all'interno se non sapete bene cosa state facendo e non siete già esperti. Attenti anche ai rami degli alberi!⚠️ Altro consiglio è di aspettare di avere almeno una decina di satelliti prima di effettuare il decollo più è alto il loro numero e più sarà alta la precisione del punto di ritorno, a questo proposito: ⛔Ricordatevi SEMPRE di impostare prima del decollo il return to home (RTH). Il RTH è una delle funzioni più importanti, una corretta impostazione può fare la differenza tra veder "magicamente" tornare a casa il vostro drone dopo un imprevisto 🙇🏻‍♀️ o veder svanire all'orizzonte 400€😭 ⚠️NOTA FONDAMENTALE⚠️: il cavetto del telecomando non garantisce una carica sufficiente allo smartphone, nel mio caso (Samsung s23 ultra) mi sono distratto confidente che il cellulare fosse in carica... conclusione? il telefono si è spento all'improvviso e preso dal panico e dall'inesperienza😱 non ho pensato al fatto che il telecomando era rimasto comunque connesso e bastava premere il pulsante RTH 🤦🏻‍♂️ Fortunatamente il drone è stato più smart di me e prima che la batteria si esaurisse è tornato al punto di ritorno impostato, trovandomi per altro impegnato nelle più fervide preghiere 🙏🏻😂 Nota inaspettata: Grazie alle numerose vendite si può contare su un'ottima community, quindi troverete facilmente risposta a tutti i vostri dubbi/problemi o perplessità, con una semplice ricerca online. Posso anche confermare l'ottima assistenza del servizio clienti: veloci, disponibili e professionali. Anche in questo caso niente da invidiare rispetto a marchi più blasonati🔝 Un applauso al fatto che manuale e app sono tradotti in italiano, oramai non è scontato e dà la misura dell'attenzione che Potensic riserva ai clienti italiani. CONCLUSIONE: Nei prossimi mesi avrò la possibilità di testare il drone su distanze più elevate e in scenari più impegnativi, aggiornerò la recensione con le nuove esperienze, al momento super soddisfatto😁 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Creo que ha sido la mejor compra del año. Un dron económico, ideal para un principiante, pero con todas las características que podrías esperar de estas pequeñas joyas de ingeniería y electrónica, comparable -y en muchos aspectos mejor- a los afamados y carísimos DJI. El seguro a todo riesgo es también más económico que el de un DJI. Llevo probándolo cuatro meses y no puedo estar más satisfecho con este Potensic Atom. El dron está muy bien acabado, tiene calidad y acabados inmejorables. Veo que el fabricante escucha a los usuarios en sus canales de RRSS y me sorprende ver cómo incorporan las mejoras en el firmware y la aplicación que los usuarios piden: zoom digital, mejoras en estabilización del horizonte -en el modelo que no lleva gimbal de 3 ejes-, mejoras en el uso manual de los parámetros de exposición de la cámara,... El dron es una pequeña bestia. Vuela rapidísimo en modo "sport", la cinemática es muy buena en modo "grabación", soporta vientos relativamente fuertes -probado a 20km/h- y, comprobado en campo, mantiene el enlace estable donde otros DJI de su gama activan el RTH por pérdida de señal. La cámara estabilizada en 3 ejes graba imágenes sorprendentes en 4K y perfectamente estabilizadas. Flaquea en grabación nocturna en modo automático, mejorando algo ajustando la exposición en modo manual. Dispone de los modos de vuelo automático habituales: cohete, espiral, boomerang,...etc muy configurables y sencillos de usar desde la aplicación. El seguimiento lo hace por análisis de imagen, no por posicionamiento GPS del mando como en otros drones económicos -o el propio Atom SE, la versión económica del 3-ejes-. Las baterías son potentes y ligeras, de momento no han dado señales de flaqueza. Recomiendo el kit "vuela más" con bolsa de transporte, tres baterías y triple cargador, porque es mucho más versátil. En resumen, se trata de un dron económico con aspiraciones a ponérselo difícil a DJI y su actual abuso de mercado en esta gama de productos (hasta 250 gramos), con precios mucho más razonables y funcionalidad similar o mejor. Como aspecto a mejorar se echa en falta una mayor disponibilidad de repuestos, aunque de momento la maca está respondiendo satisfactoriamente -en redes sociales se leen muchos comentarios en este sentido- reemplazando drones completos en caso de accidente a precios reducidos. La marca ya ha indicado que está trabajando en ello.

Me surpreendi com imagem, bem mais do que eu esperava. Vale a pena!

Ya tenía ganas de conseguirlo. Tengo un Atom SE, de la misma marca y estoy super contento. La unica pega del Atom SE era que tenía el gimbal de un solo eje, pero eso, ya es historia. El nuevo ATOM de Potensic ya ha remediado ese problema, y mas, ha mejorado mucho sus funciones. He conseguido el kit estándar, que incluye el dron, el mando, todos los cables necesarios, hélices de repuesto y por supuesto, una batería. La calidad de los materiales se nota nada mas abrir la caja. El gimbal mecanico esta protegido por una cubierta de plástico y hay que tener cuidado cuando se quita y se vuelve a poner. Como novedad frente al Atom SE, trae un minuto mas de vuelo (32 minutos x batería) funciones inteligentes de vuelo como boomerang (mi favorito), sígueme, que ya es sobre el sujeto seleccionado, raqueta y otros. Os dejo cosas para descubrir asi no os quito la sorpresa 🫢. Limite de altura incrementado de 120 metros a 800( cuidado que el límite legal es de 120 en la UE). No menos importante, traé un sistema GPS mucho mejorado (gps, glonass, Galileo y beidou) y se nota. No recomiendo volar en casa o espacios encerrados por posibles accidentes. La cámara tiene más ajustes,lo que se agradece monton, video 4k/30 fps , un dron muy estable, muy fiable ya que si pierde conexión con el mando vuelve al punto de despegue, tambien si calcula que se quedaría sin bateria. He perdido un par de veces la conexión y si, funciona, me volvio al punto de despegue. En resumen es un dron perfecto para principiantes y no solo para ellos, quizás el mejor en su categoría. La app de Potensic es muy intuitiva, sencilla con lo cual, muy fácil de usar. Vale recordar que necesita tarjeta microSD para poder grabar video y tomar fotos.Os dejo unos videos hechos con el nuevo ATOM, espero que os sirvan y ...a disfrutar de este "pequeño monstruo". Yo lo hago cada rato que tengo libre.
