ATOM 3-Axis Gimbal 4K Drone with Camera for Adults, Under 249g, 64 Mins Flight, Max 6KM Transmission, Visual Tracking, 4K/30FPS QuickShots, Expansion Kit

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!

The video is of my second day flying the drone (and I only used two batteries to film that) in Korea. I had never flown a drone before, not even a toy drone, so I was quite nervous despite having watched some youtube tutorials. Wow, it is SO EASY to fly!! Even on my first flight, after about 20 minutes I felt confident using it. Also, I was surprised by how tiny it is, haha. It's literally about the size of my hand. The plus side is it's lightweight and compact enough to carry around anywhere, but it's hard to keep an eye on it in the sky, especially at a distance. On my first day, I spotted some deer running in a field. It was late afternoon and I was so thrilled to get footage of deer prancing along. Luckily I stopped and hovered for a second, moved the camera angle up, and saw I was just feet away from a smashing into bridge! Please check your surroundings!! It has so many perks. The customer service team is very responsive and helpful. The quality of the footage is fantastic at the price point. Quickshots and tracking are great, especially for a beginner like myself. The "fly more" package you get around 90 minutes of flight time, and can charge the other batteries via USB C while you're flying. Again, it's really easy to use... the controls are sensitive enough that you can pan/turn/lift, etc. as slowly or quickly as you'd like. The only negative is it doesn't have obstacle avoidance. Of course, that would make it more expensive, but just be careful of all the surrounding and play it safe. If you can't see the drone yourself, then please use caution and plan the route carefully. It can be hard to judge how close things are. I'm glad the company regularly takes feedback from customers and makes updates. I'm particularly happy about the option to cancel the automatic return to home and do it manually. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get into drone photography or video, if you have no experience, and are on a budget. This is the one for you! Do not hesitate, just get it!!

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.

Drone con funzionalità avanzate, adatto al un uso amatoriale, non è da considerarsi assolutamente un giocattolo. Dotazione super completa, tempo di volo lungo, lo considero un primo passo per iniziare a coltivare la passione del volo e delle riprese aeree grazie alla buona qualità delle immagini e della stabilizzazione

Brilliant little drone that has exceeded my expectations. When I first opened the box I thought how small the drone was. Not expecting much, I got it up and running and was really surprised at the stability and picture quality. It really is so easy to fly and the added bonus is if you get into trouble you just tell it to return home by itself. I think the instructions could do with better explanations. The tutorial videos are good but don't fully explain what the different settings do. Trial and error will probably resolve this in time. Aside from that, there is nothing to dislike. I did have an issue with headless mode. (Look it up if, like me, you had no idea what it is) The tutorial video mentioned it but I couldn't find a setting in the app. After contacting Potensic support, who i have to say are excellent, they said that due to patent infringment they could no longer support this function. They apologised profusely and sent me a spare set of blades for my inconvenience. They seem to be a company who really want to stand out in terms of customer service and they really wanted to know where this mode was mentioned in the video so that the information could be corrected. There's too much to mention about the drone's capabilities. Look at the online reviews. I found them to be very useful in terms of finding out what the drone can do. Summing up. I don't have any other drones so don't know how this one compares. What I can say is that it totally impressed me with it's flight stability, camera quality and battery life. I got the fly more set with 3 batteries which, personally, I think is worth it. Time will tell if I use it enough though. You feel comfortable flying it even after a few flights. If you go the wrong way, just take your hands off the controls and it will sit there rock solid until you regain your composure. Also rest assured that if you do encounter a problem or have a question, Potensic customer service will be there to support you. I think this is worthy of mention. My advice would be if having watched the various videos online, you think this is the right drone for you then go for it. You won't be disappointed.

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.

I am so impressed! My friend has an dji mini 3 and even he had to admit it was just as good as his drone, and even has more fuctions. No issues, everything works perfect. Rock solid in strong winds and delivers bautiful pictures and video. Tested it out to 1,6km in less than ideal conditions before I lost contact, and the drone returned perfectly and landed within 1 meter of homepoint. Highly recommend this one.
