Every video i watch just confirms i made a good choice, thank you for the video, i appreciate the demonstration. I went with the fly more package, i know one or two batteries wont be enough, three will work perfect. I'll have to wait for a warm day for the first flight but it'll be worth it.
A drone at this price point should have at least a 9km transmission as well as a 3-axis gimbal, the dji mini 2 se and the fimi x8 mini v2 are both good choices.
Same here, mine arrives tomorrow, I knew when ordering that one or two batteries wouldn't be enough and the quicker charging will be nice. The first warmer day I'll be out trying it
I like your thorough and informative reviews. Never thought I'd be interested in getting a drone until a new neighbour in our rural area decided to start buzzing us with his and making my dogs go crazy. He is foolish. He has homing pigeons that have been shitting on my solar panels. Once I get my drone, we'll see how his homing pigeons enjoy my drone chasing them.
There's a few annoying things about this Quad, but it's definitely something to look into for a sub $250 Quad. 🤔🤔. I like the RC design, I like the phone being in the middle, and two real external antennas.
Thanks Greg! For a small drone without a gimbal, the video quality is better than most. I like how it hovers in place and the video looks like a photo.
Nice, really nice, and no WiFi - that's refreshing. Like you say, the gimbal is the only real let down point and may be a deal breaker for some. A range test in the valley has to be your next video. All in all I'm quite impressed. Excellent review thank you 😀
Thanks Keith! This is the Atom SE. Kind of like the dji mini se. So just like there’s the dji mini, there will be an Atom. Which will have I believe a three axis gimbal :) And yes, I did do a range test in the valley and did pretty good. 2km. Both distance and video. So, when it looses video it loose connection and visa versa. I’ll do a range test again but at the highest point I can get to with relative ease and try for the 4km that it claims to have. As for the Atom, of course the review when I get my hands on it :)
I’ve been wanting a drone for quite some time now. In order me one a couple of days ago it will be here July 10. I can’t wait to use it. Quick question for you guys to operate a a drone on a normal basis. Is it hard to fly or is it easy to learn how to fight? Because I really want to get the hang of it because my dad has a food plot behind the house, and I want to get a aerial view of it
People always seem to fly the drone up hight and then go back-and-forth. What about keeping it low and slow moving around cones To learn how to fly at and build basic skills. Before taking a high up in the air where you can barely see it. I don't have a drone yet i'm still looking but I plan on Keeping my drone low so I can learn basic skills. Moving around without going 200 feet in the air and 400 feet away from me...
I had one and used it for maybe four hours and the camera stopped going up and down. Spent about 330 with three batteries. They (customer service sucks) Having jump thru hoops just trying to get a replacement. Again I had it not even a week. So I would email them and wait a day and it went on for almost a week. I just sent it back to Amazon. Going for a DJI If you really look at these drones a lot of them look alike just different names. Bottom line is if you have the money get the best you can get and make sure the customer service is there.
Great review of this thanks. Looking to get my first drone and was looking at the dji 2 mini se. It doesn't have the follow me function which is a deal breaker for what I want to do. Could I ask a question - does this come with its own video editing software at all?Is there hyperlapse at all? Does it have panoramic 180 ? Thanks again
I just purchased this drone for 170 bucks although I wish it had a gimbal on it man for less than 200 bucks i could not pass it up I got it because I am so scared of losing my mini 2 that I figure this one will be a little less stressful to fly and the fact that I want have to do that annoying wifi to phone connect is a big plus I know I will love this drone once I recieve it thanks rc for this great review.
Enjoy your drone! There will be a model with a three axis gimbal coming out soon. Price will be much higher I would think though but for the price you paid, cannot go wrong :)
Bought this drone a few days ago. It comes with all the accessories and stuff but I didn’t see anything about a microSD card does it come with one by any chance or do I have to buy one separately?
I have the potensic Atom and Iam using my galaxy z fold 4 but I keep getting "please connect to controller" message when trying to callobrate. Any solutions????
I just bought one, and I left it charging the first charge, overnight, with a phone charger, but it keeps saying that it has no battery, do I need the original charger that is sold separately?

@@RCEscape oh yes I know that. But you are lucky. It's still fun to test new ones, even if they're garbage. Now this one looks ok for $250. With good range. And TWO batteries!!
I DON'T LIKE the drone changing the camera on it's own ... I used it for Aerial Photography and orthophoto mapping. I need the camera to shoot Nadir(straight down). It shoots straight down, then when I move 10 meters, the camera rotates up, about 20 degrees ... 20 shots on a path and 19 times, I have to rest the camera ... THIS IS NOT GOOD...
I just got mine yesterday and it is amazing. On takeoff, it lifts off and hovers at around 3 feet off the ground. It doesn't move at all until you move the remote.
Yes, this is a very good drone! Although I would not have minded if it weighed more but had a gimbal instead. I think Potensic could release a slightly heavier drone with a gimbal and it will sell!
I bought this drone. It's a great drone.
I also love that the battery lasts 30 minutes.
Good to hear, mine arrives tomorrow

Are you saying that this drone is as or more expensive that the others you mentioned??
@@hotshot3d it isnt
I got mine today and will fly it soon. There is a version of this model that does have a gimbal, FYI
1 of the best reviews out there. thanks for being honest. you just helped me make up my mind.
I bought one recently, and i love it. I got the drone, 3 batteries and the smart charging hub, plus all the extras for $279 plus tax
Same here, mine arrives tomorrow, I knew when ordering that one or two batteries wouldn't be enough and the quicker charging will be nice. The first warmer day I'll be out trying it

Idk if this is really clever satire or not but damn that's golden XD
Great review, you sold me, I just ordered one!!
You will love it!
Thank u ! I’ll be getting this drone , I like all videos
The design of their remote is very similar to the fimi X8 mini series, and I'm not sure if they borrowed, or more accurately copied, fimi's design.
Normally I don't like just music in videos like this, but this song was a bop in the unboxing.
That’s right, $249 I got on Amazon, nice video!! Thank you
Great review. Thanks, I'm seeing this one for my first drone. Waiting for July 14 to receive it.
Great quad and amazing review Pete👍🙏👍🙏

I’ve owned 2 Potensic drones, the D80 and Dreamer pro very high quality drones
This one is good quality as well. I usually pass the drone I test on to someone else but I will be keeping this one :)

Fly in a humongous of an area you can find without trees and such for the first few days.
You'll get the hang of it :)

No...unfortunately it doesn't have any of those features but there will be the new Atom with a gimbal coming out soon.
That’s why they’re selling these for under $200. Not even mad. Got my atom for $160 from Potensic.
Nice video. Is it also possible to let the drone follow me closer? Not that high.... Maybe 3 m behind me?
Right side if u press all button make down or up and looking other sides left side means u driveing but with no each side looking
I had a stroke trying to read that.

Enjoy your drone! There will be a model with a three axis gimbal coming out soon. Price will be much higher I would think though but for the price you paid, cannot go wrong :)
Because it doesn't have a multi axis gimbal it is much easier to carry in your pocket or bag. I would have liked a smaller controller.
What a nice price, how can you get it in such a low price? Noted that its price is 249usd in amazon.
Excellent job.
Do you believe the atom is worth the extra money ?
Bought this drone a few days ago. It comes with all the accessories and stuff but I didn’t see anything about a microSD card does it come with one by any chance or do I have to buy one separately?
You have to buy separately
While the drone is in use, does the map at the bottom left hand corner show road names when you're near one?
I have the potensic Atom and Iam using my galaxy z fold 4 but I keep getting "please connect to controller" message when trying to callobrate.
Any solutions????
Maybe try resetting your phone. Sometimes it works.
I just bought one, and I left it charging the first charge, overnight, with a phone charger, but it keeps saying that it has no battery, do I need the original charger that is sold separately?
How many amps is the charger?
You do need a stock charger or a charger that has as much amps as a stock one good luck
Lithium ion? Not polymer? 🤔
Yes, Li-ion. It even feels like two 18650s.
Does this have spot light search
can I mount my go pro on this drone? or what budget drone with good distance and that I can mount my go pro on
It already has a camera
It already have a camera equal or better than your gopro.

How long the battery last ?
2:47 31 min
In normal conditions it is 20 - 25 minutes. Depending on the ambient temperature and wind strength, it is smaller or larger.
My drone won’t charge at all it is brand new HELP
Please contact the support team at support@potensic.com
Talk about wide open spacees to fly. 👍👍👍
Does the drone hover or move slightly when it takes off? A thousand thanks
I just got mine yesterday and it is amazing. On takeoff, it lifts off and hovers at around 3 feet off the ground. It doesn't move at all until you move the remote.

Great I have the same , great drone . Thank you for sharing cheers
