    I bought this drone based solely on your review and so far it's been great! Initial setup was easy and the video quality is excellent. I flew in moderate wind and had no trouble with stability. I think this drone will serve well for a long time to come. Thanks Captain, you've earned a new subscriber!

      I'll let you know I flew the ATOM in its max wind capability and the gimbal began to vibrate from what the video feed was showing, and I was getting warnings about the wind speed.
      I returned home from over 2,500ft with basically zero video feed in strong winds. Gimbal went back to normal once I was close enough to lower down and experience less wind.

    I received mine about 4 weeks ago and have been having a blast. I have a part 107 and have taken it up to 1500 feet within a 400' envelope of structures in my city. I purchased a pair of 2.4 ghz yagis which improve reception and range by about 25%. Yesterday's firmware update significantly improved night video, removing much of the noise apparent at 4k resolution. The update also improved video transmission stability at range. I feel that your comment about compass calibration is incorrect. Beyond the drone requiring compass calibration relatively frequently, it's also a good idea to calibrate the compass before every flight no matter what. Don't risk a flyaway. I get around 1.5-2k range because I fly in one of the largest cities in the world and there is a lot of frequency competition. I flew in the path of a microwave dish at 650' and immediately lost the connection. Return to home works as advertised.

    Accuracy of RTH, before you take off, if you wait for a greater number of GPS satellites to be found, the accuracy of RTH is far greater. So don't take off immediately with 6 (whatever the min is), wait another minute until the number goes up.

    Really helpful video. I bought the Atom based on a review and havent been disappointed. Ridiculously easy to operate. The 30 fps is the NTSC setting so I'll have to reduce to 25 fps as I'm in the UK and PAL is 25 fps and Power Director 13 works on 25 fps. My drone lands within 2 feet of the landing pad which is pretty good. The three batteries are great for the beginner (like me) to allow familiarity with flying and drone features. Like you, I'd highly recommend the Atom.

    Excellent review Steve. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen something worthy of a buy and after looking at the video I agree with everything thing you’ve said about it. It might be the best consumer mini drone released right now. Other brands that make consumer drones should learn a thing or two from Potensic. When you make a product that works as it’s supposed to and over delivers then it’s a no brainer. Thanks for taking the time out to review it. 👍🏻👍🏻

    I bought this drone based on an earlier review by "someone else" and have been very happy with it. I have not been able to get the follow me and other Quickshots to work, but Potensic has been very good with support and they're working through it with me.
    I bought a DJI Mini 2 SE first because it's - famous, I guess, and highly recommended. And maybe it would've been my drone except - it never got off the ground. DJI said send it back for exchange. Since I bought it on Amazon I just sent it back. This one with the Fat More was only $40 more then the DJI bare-bones kit.
    I've had a lot of fun with this. I did get the Fly More because it's just such a good deal (price has gone up 5% since I bought it). This is my first drone so I'm still learning how to fly smoothly, but it's coming along. I take it on trips, take it to work - you never know when you might just like to see something from the air :)
    This morning there was a firmware update and that went seamlessly even though I wasn't on wifi, just cell phone (AT&T pseudo-5G).

I also have a DJI Mavic Mini (Gen 1) that I just finally got flying again as when I purchased several years ago I immediately got it stuck in a tree and after waiting a couple of month for it to come down I was afraid to fly it again so there it sat since my first calamity. I don’t know why (maybe your review on this drone) I guess I thought that if I screwed up again it wouldn’t cost as much a the Mini did?

      I bought a Mini 2 SE and it never got off the ground. DJI support had me go through all sorts of laptop gyrations with their software to wake it up but it never connected with the controller. They said send it back for another; I bought it on Amazon so just returned it. That's when I decided on the Atom, which with the fly more kit was only like $40 more than the basic Mini 2 SE kit. Plus the DJI, I learned later, has geofencing which may be a good thing but I can make my own decisions about that.

    Nice review ! Im looking for my first drone and just found this drone and the atom se.
    The atom se seems interesting, a fly more combo costs only 30$ less than the standard pack atom (non se )
    Which one do you think its better ? Considering fly more pack vs no fly more.
    I notice especially that the atom has more flying modes and 3 axis gimbal vs 2 axis on the se
    Also between these and a dji mini 2 se or 3 ? The dji mini 3 costs a lot more
    Thank you !!

      In the drone world the letters “SE” refer to “less technology” so the ATOM SE is not going to give you the same results as the ATOM I showed in this video.

    Would you recommend this over a RUKO U11 Pro?...we are mostly interested in way point navigation and the ability to move the camera while traveling to the next waypoint ...thank you SOOOO much for actually mentioning that yaw breaks you out of camera control ... only up and down are allowed ...

    Love this drone, nothing to envy DJI and better price. I just got it. I used a Holy Stone HS720E which I still have. The one thing I noticed is that if I don't use it for few days maybe a week, the batteries get depleated, also in order to see the videos or pictures I have to remove the SD card and put it on my phone, not sure if maybe is me. Does it return home if battery is running low? Thanks for yor video!

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  Před dnem +2

      The batteries, if left unused, have a safety to self discharge. Most drones are designed to take the MICRO SD card out and stick it in your computer. Those people who wish to record on their phone simply screen record the low resolution image. If battery is low it returns to home... look at the top of your phone screen when flying and you'll see if it is nearing low battery return to home mode.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  Před 3 měsíci +1

      They are both really good. Fimi has more autonomous features. Cameras are pretty much the same. The Potensic is a better experience for first time drone users (very helpful for beginners to get started).

    • @dan-endy810
      @dan-endy810 Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you for your fast response!
      Interesting, because in many reviews the Fimi had a slight Blurring at the edges of the shots which has something to do with the optics.
      And I saw that the software on the potensic is just much cleaner und smoother experience working without any bugs.
      But the most Crucial argument is that the potensic has RAW Photo taking mode which I love!
      To be honest I am new to the drones world but I am really familiar with photography, that is why I wanted a drone to get some new perspectives you know?

    Hey Steve, how are you doing? Hope all is well with you and your family.
    So I took your recommendation and purchase the Potensic Atom I just didn’t purchase it from the link you provided as I didn’t see it but I have a good news. You said it would take about three weeks to come and I already received it so thanks again for that…
    I would like you to recommend me more I guess a drone that has all the goodies under 250 g for my girlfriend doesn’t have to be top-notch just reliable maybe something that still on sale ...
    So it doesn’t have to be as good as the atom I just purchased and I guess in the ballpark of about $200-$250
    Thanks Steve I really do appreciate everything you do ..
