Potensic ATOM SE GPS Drone with Camera 4K, 62 mins Flight Time, < 249 g, 4KM Transmission, EIS - ShakeVanish Tech, Max Speed 16m/s, RC Quadcopter, Auto Return/Follow Me, Camera Drone for Adult

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.

I bought this in March ’23 after realising that the rules for sub 250g drones are quite relaxed, and I would have greater options for flying than with my old heavy Hubsan drone from 2018. I was very pleased with the much greater functionality and ease of use for these new drones. Unlike the old Hubsan this has a 4K camera with a tilt function, allowing for much greater flexibility and quality recording. There are plenty of videos online with demonstrate the excellent video quality of the Atom. Flight time is excellent, depending on wind conditions and type of flying I can easily get about 25 minutes flying time from a single battery. Flying range is good, capable of several km, which also means that at shorter range there’s much better connectivity than my old Hubsan, I don’t have to panic if goes out of sight. This drone doesn’t have collision avoidance, that keeps the weight and cost down, and some drones that do have that feature default to it off as it’s a power drain. In most cases when I fly, collision avoidance is not needed. After sales service is excellent, with easily available spare parts. I recently lost the drone carelessly when it hit a tree, collision avoidance might have helped there, I couldn’t find the drone and loss of the drone means a £400 investment was lost (extra battery and multiway charger). Ruby at Potensic support was incredibly helpful and quick to help, arranging for a replacement drone only, not free but at a very reasonable price. Firmware updates are reasonably frequent with improved or new functionality, but this is a very reliable and trusty drone, the firmware is great and nothing like a ‘beta’ releases that we have with some drones where features are promised several months down the line. My only real issue is the lack of multi-axis gimbal, that’s not a massive deal, especially given the price, and some post processing of video can help, but really my preference would be multi-axis gimbal. Maybe in a future Potensic model?

Have used drones for over a year (not my own). decided to buy my own. This unit had a good price, kit contents and good feedback. I was impressed with the drone and remote and app. The app carried out a firmware update on first boot up. it was tested in the garden to get used to the controls (which were smooth and responsive). the unit was used for 15 mins, and seemed impressive for a small unit, noted the battery was dropping quiet quickly. due to the weather it was not taken out for a few days, but good footage from the memory card, I decided this time to test the follow me mode, again, as soon as the unit was turned on, the app carried out another firmware update, unit was then tested in a field, noted that firstly it did not sound right, the unit was pulsing, and not hovering, but doing a small circle about 9 foot in the air. this stopped after 2 minutes, so a calibration was carried out (as a precaution). a quick test was carried out, and seemed ok, with a bit of motor pulsing. Follow me mode was activated. for the first 4 minutes it seemed ok, no issues showing on the app, but I could hear that the drone was pulsing. at this point the drone just went out of control, and did not respond to the controls. the drone increased in tone, automatically went higher, then veered left and crashed. the unit was disconnected and taken home to check the damage. No footage was recored to the memory card when checked, and damage to the drone was evident, and the app wanted to carry out another firmware update (within 8 hours). so I can only conclude there was a firmware issue? going by no fault and working ok, to update and erratic, then another f/ware update. I will wait for a response from either party, but the unit has been returned for a full refund. hopefully the outcome will be positive, as this initially turned out to be one of the best units and kits out there.... will update if any is needed.

After much deliberation and scrolling through reviews I decided to plunge into the wonderful world of droning with the Potensic Atom SE. Why? I had a list of features that I wanted and all the others on my within my starter price bracket £300(ish) short list came close. The one feature that I wanted as follow me and the Atom was the one that had this particular feature. So therefore it ticketed all the boxes. As I implied earlier this is my first proper drone (I had a punt at a budget special from a import site, suffice to say I know why they are so cheap) on removing it well packed box I was was impressed on how easy it was to prepare for its first test flight. After charging the handset, smart batteries and downloading the flight app I tentatively took my first steps. The Phone interface is easy to access and use. How simple was it to launch? A touch of a button and it took off and hoovered perfectly. The responsiveness cannot be faulted. After a couple of small manoeuvres I decided to pop in an SD card. I took it up 100ft straight up and filmed all the way. A little shuffle left and a little shuffle right and auto landed it. I immediately went about reviewing the raw footage and again I was impressed. Ok I’ve seen higher quality footage but this is perfect for me. From that moment I am hooked. I’m getting more confident every time I fly and granted I need to keep practicing before I use it on holiday in September but as it’s user friendly and fun to fly I’m not concerned one tiny bit. A note on Potensic Customer Service. I’ve used email, Facebook and (X), formally twitter, to make some accessory and advice requests and all 3 platforms have given great service. I had heard that this was the case and the reviews were right. This is a great drone for a beginner and one that can be grown into as flying experience is gained and this model will give years of flying and video enjoyment. The only feature that would have been nice to have is obstacle avoidance but I believe that comes at a premium. Highly recommended.

Honestly, this drone is amazing! Incredible value for money, and certainly a serious rival for DJI. If you feel a bit ambivalent about committing to the purchase then I suggest watching a number of YouTube reviews, etc. as I did. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I haven't taken photos yet, but the video is so incredibly sharp!!! Even at 200 feet up I could still see the dandelions in the field below. Spotting people on a golf course which I reckon must have been about 200~300 metres away (when viewed on a PC screen). It's actually a good idea, I found, to take a laptop with you to review the footage as soon as you can. It's brilliant! The drone is easy and fun to fly. The app is perfect (suggest a larger size phone though as there is a lot of info on the screen when flying). Very stable hover. Even with the control stick held down (for descend), the drone comes down and lands incredibly gently. Usually lands with a last second sideways shimmy - maybe ground effect? Battery life is excellent. In video mode (flight speed setting), I got 29 minutes of flight time on one battery (and it comes with two). - and that was after a couple of updates. Very very pleased ;-)

I reseached the internet and compared devices on youtube reviews before purchasing. I wanted an easy to operate device, that wouldn't break the bank. The drone was delivered promptly. It came with a very useful shoulder bag, which is of good quality. Plus the 2nd battery and spares as advertised. I particularly liked the hand controller being rechargable. I was impressed by the overall build quality of all the items in the kit. My grand children and I are not disappointed and fly at every opportunity, and we are impressed with its capabilities. I have found the device to be very stable in flight, and the battery lasts as expected.The GPS return home is an absolute must and works a treat. I found the camera image quality to be excellent for a hobby device, and the ability to raise and lower the camera increases the enjoyment. Before flying the drone, I would strongly recommend reading the instructions, and watching youtube reviews. This will give you a good start on the capabilities, and how to operate it safely. I also registered with the CAA, which is very simple and straightforward. I would recommend this item to anybody who wants to start droning, for both cost and capabilities.

Really good , very easy to use , even for a total beginner ( which I am ) my first ever drone , I found it very good, very stable , good footage , very good fun , great price too with the money off voucher thing , highly recommend

Drone was dead on arrival with no support from the Potensic website after messaging early today. Drone had a fatal error that stops it from flying which is a circuit board issue. Returning this item

C’est mon premier drone franchement j’adore Mais à faire sa dehors lol

Ich war auf der Suche nach einer qualitativ hochwertigen Drohne zu einem erschwinglichen Preis und habe mich für die Atomic SE entschieden. Und ich muss sagen, ich wurde nicht enttäuscht! Das erste, was mir an der Drohne aufgefallen ist, ist ihr modernes und ansprechendes Design. Die grau Farbe verleiht ihr einen eleganten Look und die LED-Lichter setzen einen weiteren visuellen Akzent. Die Drohne fühlt sich solide und gut verarbeitet an, was auf eine gute Qualität schließen lässt. Ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist die Flugstabilität. Die Atomic SE verfügt über mehrere Sensoren und ein intelligentes GPS-System, was zu einer beeindruckenden Stabilität in der Luft führt. Ich war angenehm überrascht, wie einfach es war, die Drohne zu steuern, und selbst bei starkem Wind blieb sie ruhig und präzise. Die Kameraqualität ist ebenfalls sehr gut, vor allem bei Bildern. Die Drohne ist mit einer 4K -Kamera ausgestattet, die klare und gestochen scharfe Aufnahmen liefert. Die Akkulaufzeit könnte jedoch verbessert werden. Mit einer durchschnittlichen Flugzeit von 20 Minuten ist es ratsam, einen oder zwei zusätzliche Akkus für längere Flugausflüge zu haben. Glücklicherweise ist der Akku schnell austauschbar, so dass man schnell wieder in die Luft gehen kann. Bin aber auch im Sportmodus geflogen. Die Atomic SE bietet auch eine Reihe von intelligenten Flugmodi, wie beispielsweise den automatischen Rückflug und die automatische Höhenkontrolle. Diese Funktionen sind besonders für Anfänger sehr nützlich und sorgen für zusätzliche Sicherheit während des Fluges. Alles in allem bin ich mit der Drohne Atomic SE sehr zufrieden. Sie bietet eine solide Flugleistung Informiert euch über die Regelungen für Drohnen. Diese Drohne wiegt 249g und hat somit noch die besten Regelungen, aber vergesst das vorher nicht abzuchecken. Vor allem ich als Anfänger wurde damit am Anfang regelrecht erschlagen. In den letzten Jahren sind da sehr viele Gesetzte und Regelungen dazu gekommen

Dit is mijn eerste drone. Na wat filmpjes op Youtube gezien te hebben, de Potensic Atom SE gekocht. Een fantastische aanschaf, deze drone is enorm makkelijk te vliegen. Een degelijke drone met veel mogelijkheden. De camera heeft ook goede beelden zowel foto als video.

👍

Wer ein Handy mit einem Micro-USB-Anschluss hat, muss aufpassen! Der Anschluss kann um 180 Grad am Handy verdreht sein. Wenn dem so ist, muss man ein zusätzliches Kabel extra kaufen, weil das mit der Drohne mitgelieferte dann wertlos ist!! Nachtrag! Unmittelbar nachdem ich diesen Hinweis verfasst hatte, wurde ich von Potensic angeschrieben. Es wurde mir eine Rückerstattung angeboten. Dies wollte ich nicht, da doch nur das Kabel unpassend war. In weiterer Folge wurde mir von Potensic zugesagt, mir ein Adapterkabel zuzusenden. Für diese "Unannehmlichkeit" wurde mir zudem ein Lademanager zugesagt, der bereits wenige Tage später zugestellt wurde. Das Kabel kam extra mit dem Flieger aus China und traf weitere Tage später ein. Auch wenn jetzt zwei (kurze) Kabeln an der Fernsteuerung hängen, stört dies nicht wirklich und das Fliegen begeistert mich täglich mehr. Die Qualität des Kundendienstes der Firma Potensic ist State of the Art! Zunächst möchte ich die herausragende Qualität der Potensic-Drohnen hervorheben. Sowohl das Design als auch die Verarbeitung sind erstklassig. Jedes Detail ist sorgfältig durchdacht und zeigt die Hingabe des Unternehmens, erstklassige Produkte herzustellen. Die Drohnen sind robust, was für mich als Outdoor-Enthusiasten von großer Bedeutung ist. Ich kann mich darauf verlassen, dass meine Potensic-Drohne den Herausforderungen in der Natur standhält. Die Flugleistung der Potensic-Drohnen ist beeindruckend. Sie sind stabil, reaktionsschnell und bieten eine außergewöhnliche Manövrierfähigkeit. Egal ob ich sanfte Luftaufnahmen mache oder actionreiche Flugmanöver durchführe, die Drohnen von Potensic liefern immer beeindruckende Ergebnisse. Die eingebaute Kamera ist von ausgezeichneter Qualität und ermöglicht gestochen scharfe Aufnahmen und hochauflösende Videos. Die Live-Videoübertragung funktioniert einwandfrei, sodass ich die Bilder in Echtzeit auf meinem Smartphone betrachten kann. Ein weiterer Aspekt, der Potensic von anderen Marken unterscheidet, ist ihr herausragender Kundenservice. Wie oben angeführt, hatte ich ein kleines Problem mit meiner Drohne. Der Support von Potensic war äußerst hilfreich und reagierte schnell. Das hat mir das Vertrauen gegeben, dass sich Potensic um seine Kunden kümmert und sich um ihre Zufriedenheit bemüht. Zusammenfassend kann ich Potensic als Firma uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Die Qualität ihrer Drohnen ist herausragend, die Flugleistung ist beeindruckend und ihr Kundenservice ist vorbildlich.
