5.0 out of 5 stars Great Drone, great price!
The media could not be loaded. 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 Bolo - nothing against Bolo, 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 Bolo (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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful GPS budget drone, under 250 grams for beginners...
As a hobbyist only, I didn’t want to get into having to register with FAA or deal with the new FAA Remote ID requirements for drones that is upcoming in 2023. But will say a drone under .55 lbs is tiny… my old toy drone was twice the size of the Atom SE.Anyway, in my usage I found the addition of GPS really took this to the next level for me – makes it very stable drone. There are a few setup videos you can watch from within the app (PotensicPro), suggest you do this. Also take some time going through the app, looking at and setting things up before trying to fly. That and the setup guide was all I needed, other than to allow time for a few updates to install and do compass calibration.This drone hovers very stable, even in wind and it’s very fast and responsive. And with GPS, the Return to Home feature worked really well – within five feet. Do suggest you set the height of RTH to the highest structure or tree in your flying area, as there is no obstacle avoidance (other than straight down). Keep in mind RTH is from takeoff point, not where you are at that point (if you move around). The Follow Me feature, only follows the controller, and this wasn’t very smooth. But way points worked great.Images were GREAT with this 12 MP Sony Sensor, and even better after viewing the SD Card. Now flying in wind is where you’ll find that not having a 3-Axis Gimble is an issue for video, that and not being smooth on the throttle (but I’ll get there). If you are buying this for fun of flying, it’s will meet your needs. Will say the EIS does do a pretty good job, I saw videos of reviews of other drones in this price range… many had a lot of “jello” in them. I haven’t seen that at all on the ATOM SE. The Camera has a motorized gimbal to tilt up and down during flight, another improvement from my “toy” drone. But I hope Potensic can make this work a little slower in future software updates.It uses your phone (I have an iPhone) to connect to the controller with a provided cable to view FPV video as you fly, and for some settings. Had no issues with the flight video dropping out, but where I was flying, I couldn’t test the limits of the range… I only went about 2,000’ was as far as I could go and keep line of sight.Drone is very fast in Sports mode, just learning so I kept in in Video mode most the time. Modes can be changed in the app while in flight. Was very easy to control even with some winds that would have blown my old “toy” drone away.Price… not sure what to say here I got it for about $235 with New Year’s sale and an affiliate coupon code from one of those review channels. I felt at that price point, it was a great value.Pros:- Under 250 Grams so no registration required.- Video and Pictures are great for a Hobby device.- Potensic is doing firmware updates on this new drone (hope they support it a long time)- Quality seemed good for the price paid.- Came as a complete package (fly more style).- Good flight time, 26 Mins- True Radio Drone, not WiFi. So very long control and FPV range- Really fun to fly, clear upgrade over non-GPS drones.Cons:- Lack of 3-Axis Gimble (think it was FB they mentioned a gimble version is in the works)- Follow Me, didn’t work to well- No obstacle avoidance- $299 suggested price… at that point a DJI Mini SE might push me to spend a little more.- New drone, so no parts at this point
Excelente produto
Fácil de usar e muito robusto
Great drone for the money
This is my first drone I ever owned, so it is hard for me to compare it with other models. However, considering its features, this drone is quite similar to the well-known Mavic DJI Mini 2 SE at a substantially lower price. The only noticeable difference between two is the lack of the image stabilization in the Potensic drone, which is probably not a big deal. In overall, it is a great drone packed with all necessary features for beginners and experienced users.My initial intend was to use this drone to observe hard to reach remote wilderness areas in the cottage country, where no interference in the transmission signal exists. In these "outdoor" settings, the drone performed extremely well. The transmission range (even though I haven't tried to fly at its max 4 km distance) is quite impressive with a very reliable signal at as far as 3 km away.The battery has performed as expected, however I do recommend for any prospective buyers to purchase an extra battery to extend the joy of using the drone especially in the areas where no easy access to charging station is available.The quality of the image is outstanding, at least for my purposes - crisp and clear enough to allow observing all little details from 40 m above the ground.The use of remote controller is simple enough with a great responsiveness from the drone. The Potensic software seems to be straightforward and simple, but definitely there should be more time invested to get familiarity with all its functions.In terms of drone's reliability, only time will tell. So far I had no issue whatsoever, and hope it will stay that way. But what adds to the piece of mind is a great Potensic's follow-ups and their customer support as many other buyers had already stated.In conclusion, the combination of drone's quality, its price and customer support makes this product an outstanding choice and a real joy to use it.
Great value for money
Fun to fly, easy to install, nice bad, good camera. For more serous use, buy the gimbal.
