I have the mini3 and also the mini4 pro. Mini4 is great and cutting edge technology. Mini3 is my daily carry and best bang for the buck. I got my fly more kit on sale for $500 shipped. You cant beat that for the reliability and video quallity
@DansTubeTV. One big advantage with a Potensic Atom drone, even for commercial pilots, is the fact that it has no Geo fencing. When I’m in the area doing a simple real estate shoot and I can’t put my DJI up because I’m in a restricted airspace. I can definitely put up my Potensic Atom. In less than five minutes, I’ve done all five shots.
That is fair enough, geo fencing is there for a reason though. We need to follow rules and flying within a restricted air space is not allowed in most scenarios without approval. You just need to make sure that you’re not flying in the departure and landing path.
Thank you for the great video! All drones with obstacle avoidance are expensive. I'd like to have a cheap one with obstacle avoidance. Which one would you recommend?
how's the signal strength ? i heard that potensic atom only use 2.4Ghz and dji mini 3 has dual band so if you fly in urban city or residential area i think Potensic atom is gonna struggle.
Just ordered a potensic atom lt..Been wanting to get a drone to use at some of the more remote places I kayak, and after looking at reviews, and price points ended up pulling the trigger on the potensic.. Can't wait to get it in and try it out. Great video, and comparison break down.!!
related subject. I was planning on getting an upgrade to the DJI. I live in Spain and all the UA-cam videos explaining the licensing requirements for drones in the EU are totally confusing. Perhaps you could do a video expelling exactly what is required (Area 1/3 license on line? registering with the authority? done insurance?) - Thanks
@@DansTubeTV okay thank you so much… i just got mine 4 days ago.. but i have problem with the quickshot.. sometime it wont detect object that i choose and doest show “+” sign.. is there any tips?
Thanks Dan; great review and perspective on all 3 offerings depending on your Budget; just a comment; there was footage on your review that didn't clarify which Drone it actually was !!!!
Thanks mate! I have just seen that, I should have been more clear in the video to help people identify what drone captured the shots. I tried to match the footage to the comments that I was making about the drone.
The Potensic Atom could be a safe bet, you could also look into the Mini 2 if you can get your hands on one and use a third party app like Litchi to unlock follow me mode. I have some drone deals here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Talking about price of course "potensic atom" is the winner, but talking about quality and features "dji mini 3" is superior. While its opponent mini 3 pro should be mini 4 pro more apple to apple.
I cannot use a drone without tracking. Object lock, drag a circle and do paralax moves. Anything else is old tech. Old shots. Same old drone footage. Ai features change the game
My Atom drone, on it's first programed flight to go staight ahead, flew 80 feet and then turned 90 degrees and crashed into a tree. One arm broke. I can't get fixed by Potensic. Three months old. No more Protensic.. I'm out $400. I talked to Potenic support for 3 months. Buyer beware !!
@@tymccoy6875 I am aware that arms can be bought. I would do that if I cound get the screws out. Unfortchanly they are so tight it is impossible get them out.
A DJI Mini with Maven, Dronelink or Litchi is a much better drone for hikers and certainly bikers. Because then you will have follow-me as well instead of only the often unreliable and unpredictable optical active-track. The Potensic app to my knowledge doesn't even have the very important homepoint-update option. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
@@DansTubeTV Definitely something you should test. My cheap L109 Pro auto-updates homepoint in follow-me mode. But that is GPS. Don't ask me if that is the software in the drone, or the app, or both. I really don't know. I wish I could program to correct what the Chinese did wrong! And I'm not against optical tracking. But it is not a replacement for follow-me. A good drone should have both.
@DansTubeTV ah OK i see. Yeah, they both have their ups & downs it seems. Visual has its problems while GPS can sometimes be dodgy too although not as often. One upside of visual tracking is the ability to track any objects rather than just ones with the GPS communication with the drone. Can just select any target & track away! 🙂 Nut yeah, as someone here said, having both is the ticket!!

@@DansTubeTV what about restricted airspace that requires permission. So outside the 5.5 Km from an airport. How do you handle that
You can request permission through the app.
@@DansTubeTV which app do you use. Asking as a complete newbie
@@wakey1974 I use the Potensic app with the Atom and the DJI Fly app with the DJI drones.
Thank you for the great video!
All drones with obstacle avoidance are expensive. I'd like to have a cheap one with obstacle avoidance. Which one would you recommend?
Hmmm, the Neo does a good job of avoiding but it does not have obstacle avoidance sensors. The Mini 3 Pro could be a good option.
Got my potensic atom.
quality is superb!
easy to control!
video and camera is awesome!
worth buying drone!
Nice one! The Atom is a great drone, well worth considering this drone 🚀
how's the signal strength ? i heard that potensic atom only use 2.4Ghz and dji mini 3 has dual band so if you fly in urban city or residential area i think Potensic atom is gonna struggle.
The Atom can struggle. I would say that DJI Mini drones have the better range.
Hey bro,just to ask which controller is heavier,POTENSIC ATOM or the DJI MINI 3's?
Probably the Mini 3’s.
Great video. What about the controllers? Atom only has using your smartphone
The controllers are great. I prefer the DJI offering.
Just ordered a potensic atom lt..Been wanting to get a drone to use at some of the more remote places I kayak, and after looking at reviews, and price points ended up pulling the trigger on the potensic.. Can't wait to get it in and try it out. Great video, and comparison break down.!!
I’m glad that I could help, great choice. You’ll love the Atom.
It is a great drone. Easy to learn on and fun to fly. You get pretty good controlling it the more you practice. Good choice.

Great suggestion, I’m based in Australia so it will be different for me. I would suggest checking out your governments aviation website for drones.
Which one is better? Atom 3 axis gimbal or Atom SE?
3 axis gimbal for sure.
The Atom 3 axis 👌
Hi . I have a Dilemma for Atom and dji mini 4k. Any suggestions please
The Atom - it has waypoints and follow me mode. Everything else is similar between the two drones.
The signal is better in dji
DJI mini has a problem in 5.8 in a software update so i need to select manually to 2.4 it lost connect even a short range
Use dual band mode
Dual band might fix this.
do you have to use cellular data in dji app?
No, you can put your phone in aeroplane mode and still fly.
Nice review, but really a pity you didn't show on screen from which drone the shown footage is. Makes it very confusing.
Great point, I will remember this for next time.
Im so sorry but are you sure that dji mini 3 doesnt have folowing mode?
It does not have a following mode built into the DJI Fly app, no.
@@DansTubeTV okay thank you so much… i just got mine 4 days ago.. but i have problem with the quickshot.. sometime it wont detect object that i choose and doest show “+” sign.. is there any tips?
Enable subject scanning through the settings after each takeoff.
Very interested in the atom 🤔🤔
It is a great drone! Check out my drone deals here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Can you please get the new Fimi 3 and do another comparison? Sorry mate but it's only been released I think 😊❤
I haven’t checked out the Fimi 3, I can try to get my hands on one.
@@DansTubeTV awesome as that’d be great! At the end of the day, I think these competing DJI companies, just can’t do it, because they’re way to big
I have potensic, the video quality is not great, it crashes blacks and I would recommend mini 3 pro if you want to play with colors in edit
Interesting perspective, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks Dan; great review and perspective on all 3 offerings depending on your Budget; just a comment; there was footage on your review that didn't clarify which Drone it actually was !!!!

i need a drone that has follow me mode. i dont want to spend mad money please can you help.

Yes, great points. Thanks for watching 👀
Come and watch how horrible the smoke is in Garden Valley Idaho.
Oh no, that’s not good 😔
Awesome video and i loved it 🎉 I'm flying on a mountain region of Brazil
Amazing! Enjoy mate! 🇧🇷
@@DansTubeTV thank you for your attention 🇧🇷👏
Feel free to connect with me here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
After watching this I'm definitely going for the POTENSIC ATOM
Nice one! Check out my deals linked in the video description.
I cannot use a drone without tracking. Object lock, drag a circle and do paralax moves. Anything else is old tech. Old shots. Same old drone footage. Ai features change the game
Yes 🙌 but also you can replicate most of those moves manually.
Sorry...I meant explaining exactly!
I would suggest contacting your governments aviation department. It will be different for me as I’m based in Australia.

Seriously? What happened when you spoke to them, did they offer any support?
new arms are sold by potensic for 40 dollars
@@tymccoy6875 I am aware that arms can be bought. I would do that if I cound get the screws out. Unfortchanly they are so tight it is impossible get them out.
@@edwardjarvis1479You can try to contact their support and require to repair the drone.
You can get the screws out.... Cut a slot in them then use a flathead to get them out.
Hey brother do you remember me? I texted you i said "are you available" remember?
No?
very nice
can you give me a dji air 3
pls🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
follow me mode with no object avoidance! really .
Yes 😅 the DJI Neo also offers that.
The Potensic Atom looks almost identical to the Mini 2 !
Yes 😧
@DansTubeTV it's called stealing intellectual property. China loves to do this to USA
@@frederick6570not a lie but dji is Chinese
Terrible review
What makes you say that?
I disagree. Good review

The Potensic app to my knowledge doesn't even have the very important homepoint-update option. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@@DansTubeTV Definitely something you should test. My cheap L109 Pro auto-updates homepoint in follow-me mode. But that is GPS. Don't ask me if that is the software in the drone, or the app, or both. I really don't know. I wish I could program to correct what the Chinese did wrong!
And I'm not against optical tracking. But it is not a replacement for follow-me. A good drone should have both.
@driewiel are you saying that the optical tracking type of follow me isn't as good as GPS type follow me modes?
I’m saying that ActiveTrack following where it is algorithm based using vision can be inconsistent at times. Follow me using GPS has never failed me.
@DansTubeTV ah OK i see. Yeah, they both have their ups & downs it seems. Visual has its problems while GPS can sometimes be dodgy too although not as often.
