Potensic ATOM SE GPS Drone with 4K EIS Camera, Under 249g, 62 Mins Flight, 4KM FPV Transmission, Brushless Motor, Max Speed 16m/s, Auto Return, Lightweight and Foldable Drone for Adults Beginner

Great compact drone for the price
Bought for 14 year old. He was flying instantly with very little past drone experience. Setup documentation is a little lacking. Camera is OK. Camera is not as fluid as other drones in the same category but for the price and easy of setup and flying, I highly recommend. Does well in moderate wind as well. Batteries and controller all charge USB-C. Battery charge is about 1.5 hours to full. Compact. Great little drone and comes with a nice soft case.

Great Drone, great price!
I have had the Potensic Atom SE drone now for over a month and have flown it every weekend, so now I feel I can post an honest review. This is reall a great drone. May not have all the bells and whistles of that other company, but it doesn’t have the price tag either. This is my first drone with GPS and what a difference that makes. I also love the fact that if I’m ever in a panic situation I can just release the controller joysticks and the drone will immediately stop whatever it’s doing and hover in place. That’s saved me a few times already. It is very easy to fly, even for a novice flyer. The controller and app are easy to handle and understand. Very comfortable controller and I like how it holds your phone, very easy to read, and has a range of 4km (about 2 1/2 miles) but I’ll never really know how far it can go since I have to keep the drone itself in sight the whole time while flying. The furthest I’ve flown it was about 3200ft (about .6 miles) and the only reason I could see it that far off is because it was at twilight on a cloudy day and I could see my anticollision strobe blinking. The drone is very easy to handle, very responsive, and FAST! In Sport mode I reached 35mph, per the app. The video quality is impressive during the day, not so much at night. Photos are OK for use online and smaller photographs, but as a photographer I would like to see a better camera where I can make small enlargements, but, again, you can’t complain too much at this price point. It handles windy days pretty well and have had no problems with it there. The Follow Me, Waypoint, and Circle Flight works as should and the RTH feature is great. I’ve initiated it myself a few times and had it return on it’s own because of low battery, all times landing within feet of the takeoff point. I get about 25 minutes of flight per battery charge which is decent. The manual is easy to understand (although you have to download it, no physical manual with purchase) and the Customer Service has been GREAT. Had some concerns about the way my drone was packaged and they got back to me almost immediately and help solve my problem. Overall, I highly recommend this drone and you get alot for the price. I LOVE FLYING THIS THING! The ONLY regret I have in purchasing this is that I purchased it off of Amazon – nothing against Amazon, I love them too – but I wish I had gone directly to the Potensic website and seen the new and improved Atom drone and I would have definitley purchased that instead. At the time it was not available on Amazon (is now though) and is not that all more expensive than the SE.Update 11/22/2023 I mentioned in my review a few weeks back that I had a good experience with the Potensic Customer Service department and I had another great experience dealing with them again. Unfortunately, I had an accident with a tree and broke off my front right landing gear (the arm was fine) and couldn’t find all the pieces. I emailed the customer service site and told them what happened and sent pictures and they got back to me within a day. They said it was repairable and gave me a price, plus gave me the option of purchasing a replacement Atom SE for a discounted price (BIG discount). After thinking about it I just went about fixing it myself with an old credit card, toothpick, and epoxy – think Frankenstein, but it flies no problem. I was tempted to take them up on their offer for the new SE, but would rather fix this one and save for an upgraded drone. When they asked what I’d like to do and told them I fixed it myself they were almost apologetic that I crashed my drone and offered to send me a new set of paddles. If that’s not great customer service, I’m not sure what is. An overall great experience.

I am new to drone flying so I wanted a drone that would be as easy to fly as possible. My search brought me to the Potensic and its amazing versality and power, at an affordable price. The customer write-ups were very positive and, of course, it was sold through Amazon with the quality control and price guarantees they offer. So, I bought it. Delivery was swift – it arrived the following day.Manual and video instructions are on line, and they were a little difficult to access at first, but Potensic Customer Support was great and sorted this out very quickly – a special ‘shout out’ to Ruby. It did not take me long to “get airborne” and discover how surprisingly easy it is to fly – even indoors. The aircraft is very stable and does not drift, so steering it through doorways was a simple process, although I do confess to getting confused over the in-flight steering, which caused the drone to collide with the wall and damage a couple of the propellers. That was clearly due to my inexperience and over-confidence (it is that good) and not due to problems with the drone itself. So my advice is, reign in your enthusiasm and make sure you read the manual and operating instructions thoroughly. As a first test flight just get used to the control sticks and remember that, depending on the aspect and position of the drone (ie if it is facing you), turning the stick left may actually be wrong, as I found out!I have flown it outside and am hugely impressed by the quality of the real time images displayed and the straightforward process to record and view the flight subsequently.Even though weighing under 250 gms, as a drone with a camera it is necessary to register with the CAA as a drone operator, which I did as soon as I received my aircraft. It is inexpensive. As each day passes, I am becoming more adept at flying my Potensic ATOM SE drone and I am hoping to take it with me to fly when I go abroad on holiday. If you plan to do the same, check the regulations applicable in your destination. Within Europe, they are EASA Regs (also available on the internet).In summary, this is a super little drone, flies incredibly well, is easy to manoeuvre, has 31 minutes flight time per battery, has a very good onboard gimble mounted camera with high resolution recordable images (still and video), a return home feature and is sold at an affordable price. Last, but not least, it comes with a first rate customer support service. So, if you are looking for a compact and reliable drone, this could be the one for you. It was for me.

El dron es un aparato estupendo. Viene muy bien protegido en una bolsa acolchada de buena calidad. El modelo comprado es el Potensic Atom SE de 2 baterías. Lamentablemente viene con cable pero no con cargador. El mando está bien construido, es sencillo pero eficiente. Viene con todos los cables necesarios y todo tiene una calidad impecable. Tuve algunas dudas pero tras hablar con el servicio técnico quedó todo resuelto. El vuelo es suave, la estabilización de la cámara impecable, la calidad a 4k también muy buena y fluida. Los controles no dieron ningún problema. El aterrizaje es suave, cuando está a 50cm del suelo baja la velocidad para aterrizar con suavidad aunque seas novato. Aun con algo de aire se comporta estable y las baterías realmente aguantan los 30minutos volando. Un buen dron para alguien que comienza con calidad premium y precio ajustado.

Gostei muito da câmera dele a da estabilidade no vôo, poderia ter um botão do zoom…..
