ATOM 2 Drone with Camera for Adults 4K HDR Video, 8K Photo, Under 249g, 3-Axis Gimbal, 10KM Transmission, AI Track, Vertical Shooting, AI Night Shot, QuickShots, Standard Kit (32-Min Flight)

Here is my two cents on Potensic. I had my hopes up for this drone. It was a lot of bang for the bucks o I took a chance. I ordered the Atom 2 fly more package. Well, when it arrived I was very impressed. It seemed very well built. It really looded good for another mini drone. I charged it up, which didn't take to long in their propriatory charger. The bag was as expected. But the controller was something different. Dog bone style. Your monitor goes in between the handles. Controlls were a little backwards, but can be changed. Time for the first flight. This little drone was very impressive. Liftoff it went straight up and hovered tightly. I flew it around and really started to like this one. Videoing in night mode is great. It had all of the bells and whistles. It flew very nice. It takes very good pictures and videos. After several days the only thing that botherd me was no nd filters. Yes, you could use ones made for other drones, but to me they never really fit right. But they have fixed that now if you can get your hands on one. So here I have an excellent drone. I flew it almost every day waiting for it to fall apart. No such thing. Even after a few "hard landings" the drone performed great. Untill.....I really goofed. I broke an arm and the camera gimbal was all out of wack. So I get intouch with Potensic. Things seemed to go slow, but they are across the world and are working when I am in bed. And boy am I glad that I bought the extended warrenty that they offer. It took about two weeks because they would ask for something and I would not get that until the morning. By the time that I replyed, it was all ready the next morning before I would get anotyer reply back. BUT, they did an outstanding Job at getting me a new drone once everything they asked me to do failed. So GREAT job for making a fantastic little drone. And GREAT job on the warranty work, even if it took a little time. I am very impressed, and I think anyone ordering the Atom 2 will be too. Sorry for dragging it out so long, but I am very impressed with this company and it's drones. Come on ND filter!

I have been flying RC helicopters for over 20 years and drones for over 10 years. Recently my original DJI Mavik died after nearly 10 years of faithful service. I went on a quest to find the best drone in the under 249 grams category. I did not want to bother with registering and licensing. This drone fits every category very nicely. Price point, advanced features, quality, flight characteristics and fluidity of controls, ease of use and easy connectivity. I believe anyone would do well with this drone from beginner to advanced. The pictures are high quality as is the video. The only place it falls a little short is the speed of flight. This is definitely not a deal breaker for me as I am not chasing cars or motorcycles. I mainly use it for construction documentation and personal photography. Don't let the price fool you this drone is great in the wind and comes with 3 batteries so you get plenty of flight time. It does not have object avoidance system, which I do not want because I get close to things on purpose. If you are looking for a small travel drone that is packed with features and quality at an affordable price, this one is worth every penny! The pictures below are in standard hi-res mode. The 8k photos are even better, but larger file size.

I don’t write reviews often, but Potensic has earned this one. Over the past year, I’ve put more than 500 miles of flight time on Potensic drones after switching over from DJI. That wasn’t a casual decision. I rely on drones for real use, not just occasional hobby flights, so reliability, control, and support matter. The performance has been consistently solid. Stable flight, dependable connection, and a platform that does what it’s supposed to do without overcomplication. For the price point, it’s hard to justify anything else. What really stood out, though, was customer support. I had an issue with a remote, and Potensic replaced it quickly and at no cost. More recently, I used their Potensic Care program after a crash, and the replacement process was straightforward and handled professionally. No runaround, no unnecessary friction. They did what they said they would do. That combination matters. A good product gets your attention. Good support earns your trust. If you’re comparing options and wondering whether to make the jump from DJI or another brand, Potensic is absolutely worth serious consideration

So fun! I’ve never flown a drone before but had no problem navigating this one. Great quality photos/video. Compared to other drones, it’s also very affordable. One battery lasts 15 or so minutes, which is all I ever need to fly.

This is a very nice and affordable drone. I bought it because I was not able to obtain a DJI drone for a reasonable price at the time due to the shortage. I am pleasantly surprised with this unit. For the price, you get the extra batteries and multi-charger for the same price as you'd usually pay for just the base drone package with DJI. The controller is pretty decent, and fits my phone easily. You could potentially mount a tablet with some creative use of mounting brackets. Feature and performance wise, I would say this drone compares very closely with the DJI Mini 2.the reason for that is like the Mini 2, this drone only has proximity sensors on the bottom. So unfortunately you don't get collision prevention that many more advanced DJI drones have. This is the only reason I removed a star. Everything else about this drone is great and still for the price I would buy another. The software for the drone is easy to use, and pretty intuitive. Not quite as polished as the DJI app but it doesn't make a huge difference to me and I haven't had any problems with it. Flight performance is great. It might be slightly more sensitive to windy conditions, but I was able to fly in relatively high winds without to much trouble. The video quality is also quite good honestly. It's definitely good enough for cinematic use. Overall for the price I think this drone performs well enough for first time flyers to have a good experience without spending a small fortune. I'm quite satisfied with it.

I just can’t tell you how happy I am with the quality of this drone. The camera is outstanding. The wind stability is even more outstanding. I’ve flown it in winds definitely up to 15 miles an hour with Gusta 20 and the camera was rock solid so far my furthest flight away was 6000 feet and I decided to test the return to home. It landed within 2 inches of where it took off this drone by far is the best value of any drone on the market and is comparable to DJI drones that cost 3 to 4 times the amount. PRETENDS TO GET THEM TO IS SIMPLY AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT POTENSIC OFFICE IS SECOND TO NONE.

This Potensic Atom 2 drone is super fun and really easy to fly. The 4K video is awesome—super clear and sharp, whether you’re flying in daylight or at night with decent lighting. I weighed it on my kitchen scale with the batteries, and it’s about 250 grams, even with a few Velcro stickers I stuck on for some nighttime LEDs. I’ve flown this thing in some pretty strong winds, like class 4 or 5, and it held up great. It even gave me motor warnings once, but the video stayed steady when hovering. In heavy winds, the video can get a bit shaky, but this drone does a solid job keeping itself stable. It’s rated for class 5 winds, and I believe it. I flew it a full mile line of sight, and my remote still had three bars of signal—pretty impressive for a small drone. Now, a quick heads-up: always check your airspace. I live near a naval base, and helicopters fly low, like 200 feet above me. The drone’s noise isn’t too bad, and just so you know, it doesn’t record sound with the video. Okay, here’s the good and the bad. Bad news: this drone doesn’t like water. I messed up and got it stuck in a tree, and it fell into a river for like 10 seconds. Good news: it’s flying fine now! I pulled the battery out right away, dried it out for a couple of days on my air purifier set to high, and it was good to go a week later. Sadly, the battery that got wet is toast, but I’d rather lose a $50 battery than a $400 drone. If you ever get it in saltwater, rinse it with fresh water first to avoid corrosion. Overall, this drone is a blast and super easy to use. Watch a few videos to get the hang of the features, check the propeller screws, and do your calibrations. It’s basic stuff, but it keeps things safe. This little drone is small but packs a punch!

**** UPDATE: Waypoints, although initially advertised as included, then later they said would be added in a future update, have apparently been scrapped and WILL NOT be added! Potensic have deceived customers who made a buying decision based on this feature. Instead they added lame Cineroll and Pano-sphere features (gimmicks). They could have at least carried the waypoints function over from the previous Atom instead of ditching it! **** Firstly, I am disappointed that the updated app (Potensic Eve) for this drone STILL DOES NOT HAVE MPH (miles per hour) as the unit of Speed when Imperial units are selected, like the previous Potensic Pro app did. Instead it uses ft/sec. Here in the US we measure speeds in mph, NOT ft/sec. Why on earth did they take that away? They could at least provide it as an option (mph or ft/sec) like they did for metric (km/h or m/s). Sorry, Potensic but this is an unacceptable blunder that you have been told about numerous times by myself and others. You need to fix it ASAP! Should be easy. Have your app programmers look at how it was in the previous version app. Also, the telemetry data (D, H, VD, VH) should use a BIGGER character size (we’re not all young with perfect vision!) and be located at the bottom of the screen (like in the previous version app). Also, telemetry data units (ft, ft/s) are tiny and too high up. They should be bigger and immediately to the right of the numbers. Also, the telemetry data (D, H, VD, VH) jumps back and forth as the numbers change. Would be better to use the stacked format at bottom of screen like in the previous version app. Also, because telemetry data is at top of screen, in white text, it is hard to see against light blue sky or white cloudy sky background, especially as it is so small! Again, would be better at bottom of screen. As the number of satellites changes (such as between 20 and 21) the camera tilt angle and satellite icons jump left & right. Annoying! Didn’t they test this? Potensic advertises the Atom 2 as having Waypoints, but IT DOES NOT! The previous version did and, although basic point-to-point, I used it. They could have carried over the previous version’s waypoints as a stop-gap instead of taking that function away completely. Many Atom 2 owners in the “Official” Potensic Atom group on Facebook have complained about this missing feature but Potensic have remained silent about when, or even if, it will be reinstated. UPDATE: Potensic responded denying that they ever claimed the Atom 2 would include waypoints. That is NOT true! They are also saying that there are NO plans to add waypoints. In other words, they've back-tracked. Camera is still only 30fps at 4K resolution. It really should be 60fps. I don’t want to have to decrease the resolution below 4K to get 60fps. There is also no way that I’ve found to adjust camera settings. The video quality is very good though. Uses same batteries and charging hub as previous Atom, which is good. Previous version’s carry case won’t accommodate newer controller though. New controller is bigger and heavier than the previous version. I’m sorry to say that I prefer smaller and lighter. It does have some extra function buttons though. But....I'm disappointed that it is It is STILL necessary to use an extension cable to use a tablet as the included cable (proprietary) is not long enough and one-piece, third-party cables won’t work with the controller. They could have made the included cable a little longer (by one measly inch, how hard could that have been!) so as not to need an extension cable. Or they could have moved the USB socket on the bottom of the controller 1-2" to the right as most tablets have their USB socket on the bottom (faces to right when rotated). Don't their designers think and test? Its not like there haven’t been many, many complaints about this for the previous Atom! I wish Potensic would pay attention to its owners and address their commonly reported issues! Drone icon does not stay centered in bottom left mini-map window. It goes off the edge so is hard to see the green signal strength triangle. This was a common complaint with the previous version app. It should remain centered. Also why is the mini-map now square when it was previously rectangular and showed more area! SD card is hard to remove because of the battery retaining clip. I accidentally turned controller off with my thumb joint that briefly pressed the power button resulting in loss of connection! Should require short then long press to turn off. When I turned it back on I had to go through the initial pairing and excessive warning messages during which time the drone entered RTH mode and I was flying blind! Repeated wind warnings very annoying. Unable to dismiss or mute them. Lots of other annoying warnings and messages too! I don't need to keep being told I've reached maximum height of 393ft. It's a perfectly legal height! Don’t need all that screen clutter on takeoff either. I want to be able to see what I’m doing, not dismissing unnecessary messages and warnings! When tilting camera all the way down then back up again the camera image in the app screen pixelates. After cancelling RTH it reverts to initial default at takeoff, rather than what was in effect prior to RTH kicking in. So if I take off with the default (V), then switch to N, then S in flight, and RTH mode kicks in, it goes back to V when RTH is cancelled. Should really go back to S. Drops out of Sport mode to Normalwhen battery level drops below 30%. Highest speed is then only 25ft/sec (17mph) which makes for a very slow return from 1-2 miles away! Even in Sport mode the Atom 2 is slower than the previous Atom 3-axis. Plus it cam barely ascend (very slowly) while flying forward at full speed! You must first stop if you need to ascend rapidly. Weaker motors perhaps. When distance > 9,999ft the units change from feet to miles. I don't want that, I want feet like in previous version app (and other drones). For example: 10,000ft. Managed to fly over 2 miles (each way) with a few RC disconnecs and video freezes.. Battery level is impossible to read against background, especially in bright sunlight, when it drops to 10% and below because it is Red text on a transparent dark background. Such a ridiculous color choice! You need to see the battery level when it is getting critical. Didn’t Potensic test this app before release? Seems not! The method for selecting Quick Shots is rather obscure! AI is just hype! Circles aren’t very circular/smooth. Spirals also aren’t very smooth. Boomerangs are circles with height change (should be elliptical/oval with a 2:1 aspect ratio). Did they even test this? Also, should default to AI Quick Shots rather than AI Track if that is what I keep choosing by default. The path color used in the flight viewer is useless against background that it is green or brown fields of grass in Satellite mode (White or Light Blue would be better). Flight viewer provides no indication of which Quick Shot has been invoked and is in effect. No way to delete unwanted flight records. Unfortunately this drone is spoiled by the terrible presentation of the telemetry data (font size too small, badly located, poor choice of colors, no mph units, jumps to L & R as numbers change, miles instead of thousands of feet if > 9,999ft, units too tiny). Sorry Potensic but this new Eve app has been very badly developed and poorly tested relative to the previous Pro app which was MUCH better. The developers and testers should be ashamed of it! Didn’t they test it in real-world situations? They get 5/10 or a C grade! I wish it were possible to use the previous Potensic Pro app with the Atom 2 as it was MUCH better than the new, buggy, poorly tested Eve app! NOTE: I also have a Potensic Atom 3-axis drone so have it for comparison. I became unhappy with it after a firmware update earlier this year adversely affected its range. There were many complaints about this in the “Official” Potensic Atom group on Facebook but Potensic ignored the complaints and have refused address the problem. Maybe their goal was to drive people to the newer Atom 2. I also own a DJI Mini 3, Mini 4K and HS900. The Atom 2 doesn't come close to the DJI Mini 3 or even the Mini 4K

I've been flying drones for a couple of years now, and the Potensic Atom 2 has quickly become my favorite for everyday adventures. At under 249g, it's incredibly lightweight and portable – no need for FAA registration, and it folds up small enough to slip into my pocket or daypack without any hassle. The camera setup is where this drone shines: a 1/2" Sony CMOS sensor captures stunning 48MP (8K) photos and smooth 4K/30fps HDR videos, all stabilized by a reliable 3-axis gimbal. The colors are vibrant, details are sharp even in low light thanks to the F1.8 aperture, and features like vertical shooting make it perfect for creating social media content on the fly. I love the QuickShots modes – like Orbit and Follow Me – which add that cinematic flair without much effort. Battery life is impressive at up to 32 minutes per charge, giving me plenty of time to explore and capture footage. The GPS positioning is spot-on, with return-to-home working flawlessly every time, even in moderate winds. Transmission range is solid too, keeping the feed clear and responsive. It doesn't have obstacle avoidance, but that's actually a plus in my book – it keeps the drone sleek, affordable, and focused on core flying fun, helping me build better piloting skills along the way. For beginners or anyone wanting high-quality aerial shots without breaking the bank, the Atom 2 is an absolute gem. Highly recommend – it's punched way above its weight class!

📝 DESCRIPCIÓN Nuevo drone de Potensic de 2025. Un drone ligero con cámara 4K HDR y funciones avanzadas de inteligencia artificial 🎥🚁 Modelo de drone en Amazon con detección de obstáculos: https://amzn.to/3J6lDhF 🧾 ESPECIFICACIONES - Peso: <249 g - Cámara: 48 MP / 4K HDR 30 fps - Gimbal: Estabilización mecánica de 3 ejes - Transmisión: 10 km (PixSync 4.0) - Autonomía: 32 min por batería - Modos: Seguimiento AI, QuickShots, Dolly Zoom, Cámara lenta - Control remoto: 5200 mAh con antena direccional 📦 CONTENIDO - Dron Potensic ATOM 2 - 1 batería (32 min de vuelo) - Control remoto 5200 mAh - 8 hélices + tornillos + destornillador - Protector de gimbal - Cable USB-C / Lightning - Correa para hélices 💶 PRECIO - 7 de Octubre de 2025: 289€ 🟢 PROS • Gran estabilización con gimbal 3 ejes 🎥 • Ligero y plegable, ideal para viajar ✈️ • Buena calidad de imagen 4K/8K • Transmisión fluida hasta 10 km • Perfecto para principiantes 🔴 CONTRAS • No incluye bolsa en el kit estándar • No tiene sensores de detección de obstáculos 🚫 8️⃣ VALORACIÓN Decidí pasar del ATOM SE a este nuevo modelo, el ATOM 2, principalmente por la cámara mejorada y la estabilización de tres ejes. Lo bueno es que las baterías y la bolsa del modelo anterior siguen siendo compatibles, así que con la compra he conseguido un equipo más completo por un precio ajustado. Las baterías del ATOM 2 son ligeramente más pesadas que las del SE, aunque apenas se nota al volar; lo menciono más como detalle técnico, porque el comportamiento en vuelo sigue siendo igual de ágil y estable. El cambio se aprecia desde el primer vuelo: el dron es más preciso, la cámara tiene una nitidez superior y el estabilizador hace que los planos sean mucho más suaves. El nuevo sensor Sony junto con el procesado HDR mejora muchísimo las tomas en condiciones de poca luz, y el modo AI Night Shot consigue escenas nocturnas realmente nítidas para un dron tan pequeño. La nueva app es otro punto importante. Ahora es más fluida y permite acceder a funciones como QuickShots, Dolly Zoom o el disparo vertical, perfectas para contenido en redes. También incluye la función SmartTransfer, que permite pasar vídeos y fotos al móvil en segundos sin perder calidad. Uno de los apartados que menos utilizo es el seguimiento inteligente por IA. Este nuevo modo te permite encuadrar a una persona y el dron la sigue con gran precisión, ya sea en modo “Follow”, “Spotlight” o “Parallel”. Ideal para grabaciones en movimiento o para salir en plano sin tocar los controles, aunque teniendo en cuenta que carece del sistema de detección de obstáculos, limita un poco su uso. En vuelo mantiene una estabilidad muy buena, incluso con algo de viento y las imágenes se ven sin tanta oscilación como en el anterior. La conexión con el mando es sólida, con buena respuesta y sin cortes, incluso a varios kilómetros de distancia. Lo máximo que probé fueron 3km en un embalse cercano. La autonomía real ronda los 28-30 minutos, dependiendo del uso. Con tres baterías (dos del SE y una del ATOM 2) tengo más de una hora de vuelo combinada. Para escapadas cortas o grabaciones rápidas, es más que suficiente. Es un dron muy manejable, fácil de pilotar y con controles precisos, ideal si estás aprendiendo o simplemente quieres disfrutar de grabar sin complicaciones. El gimbal de tres ejes aporta una estabilidad sobresaliente que se nota en cada toma. En conjunto, el ATOM 2 es un salto notable respecto al SE. Mantiene su tamaño compacto pero incorpora mejoras claras en cámara, estabilidad y funciones inteligentes. Es una opción muy equilibrada entre prestaciones y precio. ✅ CONCLUSIÓN Un dron muy completo 🎬 que ofrece buena cámara, ligereza y funciones inteligentes por un precio competitivo. Perfecto para aprender, grabar en 4K y volar con estabilidad incluso sin sensores de obstáculos. 👍 RECOMENDABLE. ✳️ Espero que mi comentario ✍️ te haya podido servir de ayuda 😃

Tres bon petit drone et mises a jour regulieres.tres bon suivi potensic.

C’est drone qui est vraiment bien même si avec la dernière mise à jour je rencontre quelques bug. Je suppose que cela va se corriger avec une autre mise à jour jour . La qualité est bonne et la mise en service est assez facile 👍🏿

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Drone for Beginners and Enthusiasts I bought the Potensic ATOM 2 Drone Fly More Combo from Amazon, and I am very satisfied with this purchase. The drone is lightweight (under 249g), so it’s easy to carry and fly without registration issues in many countries. The 3-axis gimbal works very well and provides smooth, stable video, even in slightly windy conditions. The 4K video quality is sharp and clear, and the 8K photos look amazing. The 10KM transmission range is impressive, and the connection stays strong and stable. I really like the AI Track feature—it follows the subject accurately and makes recording videos very easy. Vertical shooting is perfect for social media, and AI Night Shot performs well in low-light conditions. The Fly More Combo is a big advantage. With multiple batteries, I get up to 96 minutes of total flight time, which is more than enough for long sessions. The controller is comfortable to hold, and the app is easy to use, even for beginners. Overall, this drone offers excellent value for money with premium features at a reasonable price. I highly recommend the Potensic ATOM 2 to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality drone for travel, photography, or videography.
