![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 66 วันนี้!! คู่เอก "ก้องชัย vs อัคราม"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/j4uI5Uy8mWQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I bought this drone based solely on your review and so far it's been great! Initial setup was easy and the video quality is excellent. I flew in moderate wind and had no trouble with stability. I think this drone will serve well for a long time to come. Thanks Captain, you've earned a new subscriber!
Thanks for sharing & for the feedback
I'll let you know I flew the ATOM in its max wind capability and the gimbal began to vibrate from what the video feed was showing, and I was getting warnings about the wind speed.
I returned home from over 2,500ft with basically zero video feed in strong winds. Gimbal went back to normal once I was close enough to lower down and experience less wind.
@@DroneSlingers Do you know if the wind was above 24mph? That's what Level 5 translates to. The higher you go, the more wind there is vs. what's on the surface.
WHAT IS THE CONTROL FREQUENCY ?? WHAT IS THE VIDEO DATA FREQUENCY??
@@user-fm6gc4em3q I'm thinking the control frequency is 2.5ghz as when any time I'm connected to 2.5ghz WiFi I get bad connection issues. As soon as I turn off WiFi or switch to a 5ghz WiFi connection the drones connection to the controller becomes normal again
I received mine about 4 weeks ago and have been having a blast. I have a part 107 and have taken it up to 1500 feet within a 400' envelope of structures in my city. I purchased a pair of 2.4 ghz yagis which improve reception and range by about 25%. Yesterday's firmware update significantly improved night video, removing much of the noise apparent at 4k resolution. The update also improved video transmission stability at range. I feel that your comment about compass calibration is incorrect. Beyond the drone requiring compass calibration relatively frequently, it's also a good idea to calibrate the compass before every flight no matter what. Don't risk a flyaway. I get around 1.5-2k range because I fly in one of the largest cities in the world and there is a lot of frequency competition. I flew in the path of a microwave dish at 650' and immediately lost the connection. Return to home works as advertised.
Wait a minute - can you point me to where you got these yagis and how you attach them to the controller? As a ham radio guy I'd be having a lot of fun with something like that (although portability may suffer).
@@chipsawdust5816 I have come across DIY Yagi Antennas on the net b4. Some builds are easier than others. Also there are 2.4ghz Yagi antennas with a 25 dbi claimed gain on Amazon for under $30 U.S. each.
@@chipsawdust5816 I feel like potensic made this account just to post a comment
I have watched dozens of videos on this drone. This is by far the best one I have watched. You always cover everything in detail. And capturing all that detail on video is always very professional. Thank you for the excellent content of your reviews!
Thank you for your comment, it is very much appreciated.
Great review and I am glad to see you flying something from Potensic. I have had the Atom SE for almost ten months and I love it. Not only are the products high quality their support team is top rate. Almost all of the new features on the new Atom were suggested by users and testers, they really do listen. Thanks again.
Really helpful video. I bought the Atom based on a review and havent been disappointed. Ridiculously easy to operate. The 30 fps is the NTSC setting so I'll have to reduce to 25 fps as I'm in the UK and PAL is 25 fps and Power Director 13 works on 25 fps. My drone lands within 2 feet of the landing pad which is pretty good. The three batteries are great for the beginner (like me) to allow familiarity with flying and drone features. Like you, I'd highly recommend the Atom.
Thanks Steve!... I knew the early models and this new one is really a good option.
This is a very well done review. I already ordered it because I seen nothing but positive reviews on this drone. But i came back and watched yours and I'm very impressed and learned a lot more. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Thanks.. seems like a good value and you confirmed it. 😀
Great review thank you!
Good review Steve and the video quality looked good.
Thanks!
Great review
Nou 130 kilometer per uur . Vind ik wel geweldig. ik heb ooit een Traxxas Rusler had eerst een Elektro motor en erna een Hpi Motor in gebouwd deze had ik nog ergens liggen grotere tandwiel op gezet. Ging ook behoorlijk zelfnog harder met de 11 volt lipo hing nog harder. Hou alleen rekening mee . Dat alles goed blijft werken vooral remmen. De snel heid van je Traxxas vind ik toch super geweldig . Leuke video. Veel succes met je Traxxas 💪😃👍🛻🚘👍👍👍👍
I love your videos because you are always giving detail as much you can an much more detail. Very helpful. Thanks. ❤
Glad you like them!
Excellent review Steve. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen something worthy of a buy and after looking at the video I agree with everything thing you’ve said about it. It might be the best consumer mini drone released right now. Other brands that make consumer drones should learn a thing or two from Potensic. When you make a product that works as it’s supposed to and over delivers then it’s a no brainer. Thanks for taking the time out to review it. 👍🏻👍🏻
My pleasure
Such a great drone and video
Was waiting on this video
Thanks Steve! This is definitely on my Christmas List! BTW you have a beautiful neighborhood.
Thank you
Great review!
Mine just arrived today. For my very first drone and literally never flown one, it was really easy. Love it
Excellent!
eggcellent !!! im on it Steve !!
Good ole Fallingbrook! Great review 😊
Good evening captain really nice drone cool set up
Best review ive found thanks for the picture comparison to the DJI
Well done video -- THANKS!
In the waypoint function, does the software allow altitude increase or decrease between waypoints? Also, does that function allow setting a radius (curved path) when navigating the corners of a waypoint pattern (for a smoother video transition)?
Hey Steve,great video.
Exactly what I was looking for to offer to my wife.
Good spec's and affordable price.
Thanks for another great video
Glad to help
I too bought this drone based on your review. I have not opened the box yet so I’m hoping it is all you have said it is in Your review. I also have a DJI Mavic Mini (Gen 1) that I just finally got flying again as when I purchased several years ago I immediately got it stuck in a tree and after waiting a couple of month for it to come down I was afraid to fly it again so there it sat since my first calamity. I don’t know why (maybe your review on this drone) I guess I thought that if I screwed up again it wouldn’t cost as much a the Mini did? You have quite a responsibility in your reviews as like the other guy commenting before me (you are the “Go To Guy” on Drones ie most believable:) Keep up the good work.
If you purchased the ATOM (and not the ATOM SE), then you’ll enjoy the same experience I did.
Nice video Steve as always 👍👍 🚁 🎥 📽 📸
Thank you
Been very happy Potensic drones from their $20 to a few hundred dollars. Definitely a brand I can rely on.
Hello excellent video congrats, I have a question does the drone record in 1080p? At how many frames in 1080 if it does
Video resolution: 4K, 2.7K, 1080p
Frame rates: 4K up to 30FPS, 2.7K up to 30 fps, 1080p up to 60FPS
Looks pretty cool
I bought this drone based on an earlier review by "someone else" and have been very happy with it. I have not been able to get the follow me and other Quickshots to work, but Potensic has been very good with support and they're working through it with me.
I bought a DJI Mini 2 SE first because it's - famous, I guess, and highly recommended. And maybe it would've been my drone except - it never got off the ground. DJI said send it back for exchange. Since I bought it on Amazon I just sent it back. This one with the Fat More was only $40 more then the DJI bare-bones kit.
I've had a lot of fun with this. I did get the Fly More because it's just such a good deal (price has gone up 5% since I bought it). This is my first drone so I'm still learning how to fly smoothly, but it's coming along. I take it on trips, take it to work - you never know when you might just like to see something from the air :)
This morning there was a firmware update and that went seamlessly even though I wasn't on wifi, just cell phone (AT&T pseudo-5G).
Thank you for sharing
FINALLY THX:)
Great review Cap. If I didn't already have the Mini, Mini 2 and Mini 3 Pro, I'd buy it! It looks like a really great little drone for the price! About time the budge drones start competing with DJI. I'm waiting for a Mavic 3 clone at a budget price... lol. Not going to hold my breath on that one. Hope you had a fantastic holiday season and looking forward to new videos in 2024! Cheers!
I like the potensic over the holy stone 720r. Great video and review
Can I use a dji landing gear for the potensic atom se or does potensic have its own landing gear skid ?
I have the atom se one and I like it. Probably upgrade later on.
Thanks for the laugh from you walking while the camera speeds it up. 😄 😂
Thats a really nice drone...i have the potensic D85,had it for 4 years now and with the 5g around here it wont connect to my wifi,nor to the drone which sucks cause i have 3 batteries and cant use it...does that have obstacle avoidance?? Maybe u covered it?? And what about the wifi needed?? I know im gunna have to upgrade to a new phone if i want a DJI drone,hear they only do 5g as well?? Thats man good review...as always...still wanting some stickers....🙏🙏🙏🙏🥴
Can you make a comparison between the Potensic Atom and the Fimi X8 mini V2. It would be a good comparison for price, specifications. Thank you so much for your vídeos!!
I got rid of my DJI drone and just started using Potensic. I had issues with “RC not connected to mobile device” and “unauthorized fly zones” which made me hardly fly it. Potensic was always ready and hasn’t giving me any issues. I’ll be buying another one soon.
hi Propeller Guard for Potensic Atom any advice on whether it fits from some DJI model TNX
Great review, thanks. I searched Potensic website for more technical parameters, but there is not much there.
In particular I am interested in:
1. what is video bitrate at 4K 30 fps
2. can it shoot photos in RAW format, like DNG or similar
If you know answers to these questions and could share them, that would be great.
1. Approx 60 mbit/s
2. I don't recall if mine had a DNG photo option
How does it compair to any dji drone? What's the range? How fast can it fly? Does it handle wind?
Great drone, im ordering one-wow impressive features and price
nice video mate
Accuracy of RTH, before you take off, if you wait for a greater number of GPS satellites to be found, the accuracy of RTH is far greater. So don't take off immediately with 6 (whatever the min is), wait another minute until the number goes up.
I have the mini 2 se and om honestly tempted just for the way point feature
Nice, might be one for a friend of mine.
Imagens top deste modelo de drone
How does it compare to Zino mini se? Does it truly get sats immediately so it can take off? Has it any mastershots (not quickshots). Finally, how far out can it go in urban before it loses reception? 500m? 1km? Please reply to each. I bought my Zino mini se because of you. Thank you
Very nice video. Does the phone you are using as screen has to have a compass (my Samsung A12 doesn’t have one)?
I’m guessing it works with cell phones that don’t have a compass. If it would not work then the App wouldn’t install, so try downloading & installing the App.
Great review, thank you. I was wondering how you thought this stacked up to the DJI Mini 3? Actually, have you done a mini 3 review?? I've only seen your mini 3 pro stuff? Thank you.
The mini 3 would certainly be a good option
very cool i been watching this drone for awhile i have the dji's drones the video about the same i think like how we can watch other places and the tree turning color i just had my phantom dji phantom 4 up today older drone but dose good checking out the tree's and how there changing here very cool video on this
do you think that the potensic Atom is anything like the fimi x8 pro? the remote looks pretty similar. the drones look a lot different but fimi does not seem to have customer service. I'm just wondering how potensic is with customer service
Great review. If you were recommending to someone for general flying and 4k video, would you choose the Potensic or Fimi X8 Mini V2?
Easily it would be the Potensic, simply because it is designed for beginners and the interface keeps things simple.
How does this compare to the C-fly Faith mini?
Hello Steve excellent videos as always congrats, I have a question about the atom? How does it performs at night recording, I have the fimi x8 mini v2 and it's too bad to record and take photos at night, I used to have the mini 2 and the recording and photos at night were amazing but I want to know how it performs this at night
This is not a night recording drone. It would be the same as the DJI Mini 2 at night.
I love mine!!!!!!
Would you recommend this over a RUKO U11 Pro?...we are mostly interested in way point navigation and the ability to move the camera while traveling to the next waypoint ...thank you SOOOO much for actually mentioning that yaw breaks you out of camera control ... only up and down are allowed ... I haven't found anyone mentioning that anywhere!!
I have never flown the RUKO U11 so can’t say if it is as good as the ATOM.
Hey Steve, how are you doing? Hope all is well with you and your family.
So I took your recommendation and purchase the Potensic Atom I just didn’t purchase it from the link you provided as I didn’t see it but I have a good news. You said it would take about three weeks to come and I already received it so thanks again for that…
I would like you to recommend me more I guess a drone that has all the goodies under 250 g for my girlfriend doesn’t have to be top-notch just reliable maybe something that still on sale ...
So it doesn’t have to be as good as the atom I just purchased and I guess in the ballpark of about $200-$250
Thanks Steve I really do appreciate everything you do ..
Did you even reply to me CD as I don’t see any reply from you ??
I’m having so much fun with my Atom as well. first drone tho hehehe
wow I just got an atom minutes ago! charging up now
Nice review ! Im looking for my first drone and just found this drone and the atom se.
The atom se seems interesting, a fly more combo costs only 30$ less than the standard pack atom (non se )
Which one do you think its better ? Considering fly more pack vs no fly more.
I notice especially that the atom has more flying modes and 3 axis gimbal vs 2 axis on the se
Also between these and a dji mini 2 se or 3 ? The dji mini 3 costs a lot more
Thank you !!
In the drone world the letters “SE” refer to “less technology” so the ATOM SE is not going to give you the same results as the ATOM I showed in this video.
Thank you! You're the only video that has show the actual map features in detail! I've been trying to find if you could see street names on the map for days now. Does the hybrid mode give you a satellite view with the road names overlade?
I believe the names remain in hybrid map mode, but can’t recall for certain.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798Thank you!
back in the day ready to fly were sold with chouce of transmitter/reciever chanels, havent heard this mentioned on any reviews
Great review 😊 I have the Atom SE, how much difference would you say the 3 axis gimbal makes to the footage ? And can you only tilt the camera up & down, no pan ?
I do not have the SE say can’t say, but when it comes to side to side movements or tracking, a 3 axis gimbal is best.
Up/down. No user selectable panning.
Steve can you please review the Betafpv HX115 SE 2023 because I don’t know to buy this or Emax freestyle ll or if you could recommend some other better drones
Good video review drone completed
Thanks 👍
This vs the x8 v2 mini which do you think is better they are the same price on black friday
Very nice 🤝😎
Hi there...do the Atom and SE use the same battery? Thanks and I enjoyed the review!
I do not have the SE so I can’t check
Hi Captain, hope you're doing well, congrats on a great review! I'm interested in getting this drone for myself. By any chance do you know if there is any app I could use to do some photogrammetry with this drone?
Not that I'm aware of. You'd have to ask POTENSIC to see if anything out there is compatible.
brushless moters?
Yes
I'm watching you from Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷 so, I bought a Potensic atom and I'm waiting for it 🎉 will be my second one because I have a KF106 Max , thank you so much for your tips I'm new in this hobby and I'm learning a lot 😃
Enjoy!
From which site did u order your dronw and how much is it,if its not a secret?
@@Rankotivi Hi I bought it at the store in Belo Horizonte Brazil 🇧🇷 the price it's 980.00 in real money, thanks for your comment
@@queirozdrone Ur welcome,thank u for your reply..👍
Thank you once again for a great review. Golden Question: Fimi X8 mini V2 or..this Potensic Atom 3 axis? 🤔😉🤙🙏🍻
In metrics, they should add km/h . m/s takes some calculating and here in the EU we all are used to km/h.. cars.. motors etc all do km/h.
For English/Amerikan users i recomment Miles/h .. and not ft.
Hight should stay Meters and ft ..
But i see this problem on most drones.
And i would love to get my hands on one of these Atom drones...
Good review !!
Well Steve, order placed. I might just turn up at your field one day hoping for some pointers. Another old guy joins the flying. (I could have bought accessories for my VFR instead, but I've put this off long enough. )
Ha ha, enjoy! Maybe Santa will bring a gift for the VFR.
Is there the capability for the remote to connect to the computer to "learn" to fly virtually? If so, what if any software do you recommend as a flight simulator?
Just got mt Fly More kit. Want to develop a few skills before I fly it off into oblivian!
😮hello Steve, captain drone,wow,that's a really good drone sn flyer for the price even fly more combo on Amazon is like 300.00 plus shipping an like 30 dollars if you choose a two year protection plan,I'll definitely be looking to getting this little drone,I so want a DJI but those are so out of my price range other than the mini 4 pro but for more of the combo,it can be still quite expensive
Hi ..to transfer videos and pics to a pc do you plug the drone in or do you have to remove the micro SD card and put it in the pc
Best wishes mark uk
I always remove the micro SD card because often it is much too slow plugging a usb cable into the drone and attempting file transfer (if it even works)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 many thanks 👍
Ciao complimenti per la recensione. Quindi questo drone è paragonabile al MINI 2 e di conseguenza è superiore al MINI 2 SE?
La qualità video ti ha soddisfatto?
Thanks for the extensive reviews. The Atom vs the F22s, im in for one of these. Which one would you prefer?
The ATOM is best
*TOO KOOL!!!*
I just got the mini 4 pro for my birthday, which is today but I'd like to pick one of these up for a backup drone! Great review as usual!
Happy birthday!
@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you ,your the second and last to tell me this today. It actually means more than you know.
What a great birthday present! I know you'll like both drones, and belated happy birthday to you.
I like how it is portable ad lits movement
Hello Steve, Thank you for the review. Which one is better in terms of Photo/Video quality: Potensic Atom or FIMI X8 Mini V2 ?
Both similar
Always a 👍 ! Trusted reviews every time !
Thanks Steve !!!
I’m a mini 4 pro (& 3 Pro) pilot myself, but if I didn’t own a drone I’d certainly be tempted. It looks fantastic for the price.. but I would also look at the DJI mini 2 SE. - both look similar and the Mini 2 SE isn’t much more in price.
Cheers, Steve
Mini 2 SE has no 4k and no active track and more $$$
@@mavicmaltarc oh right, thanks 👍
I bought a Mini 2 SE and it never got off the ground. DJI support had me go through all sorts of laptop gyrations with their software to wake it up but it never connected with the controller. They said send it back for another; I bought it on Amazon so just returned it. That's when I decided on the Atom, which with the fly more kit was only like $40 more than the basic Mini 2 SE kit. Plus the DJI, I learned later, has geofencing which may be a good thing but I can make my own decisions about that.
Please can I ask you choice between this and C-Fly Faith Mini 2, Beginner and first
ATOM is best
Watching from Ireland, I bought this drone based on your review... Could u please review the s155 (teng 2) drone? It claims to be able to carry 500g and also has a range of 6km
Good review. My concern is this atom or new dji mini 4k im realy wont to order soon as possible but cant finde nice reviev both of them. Like atom follow and points options . What U suggest Tnx.
If you feel you may crash and damage your drone then get the DJI version and pay for the DJI Insurance.
Does anyone know where I can find propeller guards for this model.
Hello Steve, my name is Gary, and I love your videos. I'm learning a lot about the drone world. One question about the potensic atom drone: Does it come with a warranty from the factory? Thanks
Yes. I believe they have an office in the USA. You will have to check their website to confirm.
Can you please tell me how this drone compares in quality (disregarding the price difference) to the autel evo nano plus or which one is better? Thank you!
The AUTEL would be better
Can you do an indoor flight review?
Is there a reason that the Holy Stone HS720 looks alot like the TSRC Q7 that you are aware of?
Would u recommend this drone for professional use like a dji mini 4 pro can be used for professional work? Thanks for the review
Yes. This drone is similar to the DJI MINI 2 but with more features.
Thank you for this review! I have the potensic atom and its a great budget drone!
Nice Drone Steve, it also looks the same as the DJI Se drone. I saw that it is also possible to track an object. Maybe you can also have this drone follow an RC plane. I think it would be nice to see. It's just an idea for your hobby if possible. Steve. 🖐😃👍✈️🛩
Unfortunately camera drones can’t track RC planes, only FPV drones can.
I love your channel
Do you know how to reset the homepoint on the potensic atom, I bought that one too?
It resets each time you power it on
