Very instructive. I just received one of those as a Christmas gift. I've never owned or flown a drone before, although I've had it in the back of my mind to someday get one. I've been out the past couple of days flying it in the back of my property. I really enjoy it.
@@JayDrone it was nice! ya i been messin with kwads and guitars....even testing dragrace rc cars! im gettin back into the dragracing scene...its been wayyy 2 long away from it....
Happy you enjoyed the video ARS when applied and perfected properly is absolutely mind blowing the parrot bebop can literally barrel an image stay straight and stable- I did a comparison video long ago I think between the bebop one and the DJI spark and as far as the cameras go to be bop even on paper beat it hands down
Bro ever since ive this drone on Amazon,an people reviewing it,i want it now,its something affordable an everything basically im looking for in a drone an good quality to get myself started,i was trying for a dji but just so expensive an this one even without obstacle avoidance,is fine sn something i can have fun with an long flight timw to an its compact an pretty decent camera too,its a no brainer
This company’s customer service is hands-down probably the best that’s why this Drone sells because it is definitely capable just as well as available on Amazon and hasslefree if anything were to happen. I own DJI and other top-tier drones. This little guy, however free, throwing it in the air
been very very windy lately but i'm just shocked at what a value this drone is. It can hold position in 15mph winds with 20+ gusts. That's just crazy for the price. It's very easy to fly but i have a feeling a 3axis gimbal would make flying it MUCH more enjoyable. You have to constantly use the X axis motor to tilt cam constantly and, if i'm not mistaken, when you have a 3 axis gimbal it will take the angle of attack and constantly move the camera to maintain same or nearly same horizon level on imaging. The EIS ? It is ok, but it can be glitchy and it can improperly adjst your camera and make you fight it back n forth. I am waiting for a nice calm wind day to do my personal tests. If it's over 20 mins flight time i will be ok. But if it's like 15? I will probably return it for the dji mini 2 se. But i love this thing so far!
Similar to your battery life warning, what annoys me with my DJI drones with the DJI RC controller is the Go fly screen keeps popping up. I can hit the Go fly button on the screen to open up my screen again but while the Go fly screen is open, I'm flying blind. This is not a problem with the drones unless both of my DJI drones have the same issue. I don't know if there's a setting that's causing that or what, but I don't think I'm the only one that's noticed this.
@@JayDrone Ahh, makes sense.. Well appreciate the test and review man! Picked one of these up for $169.99 shipped. Seems like and awesome drone for the $. Can't wait to give it a whirl!
Wanting to get back in to hobby flying but under 250g, I bought a holy stone hs360s which had zero stabilization. I sold it to get this mainly for it's better stabilization and much better flight time, however, I'm slightly underwhelmed by the image quality I'm getting from my SE in comparison to my HS. Everything looks a lot less crisp like theres a plastic film on the lense but I can't figure out why.
Make sure you are uploading off of the SD card and not buy Wi-Fi transfer Drone to phone as the image quality will degrade just as well as if you are putting anything on Facebook Facebook degrade image quality two
Great video, thanks for conducting this test and pushing the limits. Curious what microphone you were using here or is the mic work in production? Watched another reviewer that was using a DJI 2.4GHz wireless mic while flying and it was causing interference that reduced his range by a significant distance. After turning it off he got 4+ times the range.
Hey Jay👋! Sup my guy do you think you could do a comparison between the potensic atom and the cfly faith mini🙏🏾? I really feel like those 2 are pretty cool minisi think you'll agree. I'll keep watching 👀ttyl✌🏾
It may have been your mic. It is known to have a major connectivity problem with other devices near to to controller. I suggest try again carrying only phone with drone.
I comparison shopped, learning and losing other drones for months. I fly in the city. Does what I need and want. Resolution is excellent. Stop nit-picking. For about 200 dollars, this is it! You'll never remake Gone With the Wind. Get real. DJI can go scratch. The Potensic SE doesn't crash. Controller is perfect for me. I'll get a 3 axis model soon.
@@JayDrone Thanks i finally pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered my first drone the Atom off Potensic’s website instead off Amazon and it automatically comes with a 12 month warranty!! So fingers crossed i don’t end up crashing it since I’ve never flew a drone😬😬🫣🫣🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
If these were to come out with a pro upgraded version of this one with obstacle avovoidance sensors an like apass,bro thst would be a good compression neck ro neck with dji,id buy one,for the quality of this drone,its entry level to like a dji mine 2 drone an half the price,i hope this company keeps popping out great affordable drones for people on a budget an of good quality.
They already offer a version with a stabilized 3 axis gimbal.....beats the DJI mini 2 se dollar for dollar. I'm thinking one of those will be my next drone.....
@@TheWingnut58 ,yeah I saw,that's the one an many reasons I'm getting one,it'll do majority of things I want an have fun an not have to register it for recreational use.
The video keeps shaking and lagging along with it, a very disappointing drone. I had high expectations, I'd rather buy a real drone like the dji mini 2 se or the fimi x8 mini v2.
Dji is a security and privacy mess. DJI tracks everything you do. Where you take off, where you land, when you fly, your flight path, altitude, station location, serial number. Everything. The geofencing, the registration. It’s absolutely insane. They also manufacture and sell the aeroscope device to any government authority that wants them, meaning they can ID any DJI device in the sky within several miles of the receiver. Further, DJI forces remote ID on you. It’s even built into their sub 250g drones and is impossible to turn off, meaning that everything you do with your drone is observable by anyone who wants to download a simple app the their phone or to the FAA. For these reasons, imo DJI is 100% a no go unless you want to be absolutely smothered by multiple modes of surveillance. If the choice is between a DJI sub 250g drone and a rock, ill be flying the rock.

Bam very solid drone
I super enjoyed this video great job. Love everything you pointed out love this drone please make more videos on this bird !!!

nice testing brother!
looks like a great bird!
Birdman in the house hopefully you had a good Easter brother it’s been a little while since I’ve heard from you
@@JayDrone it was nice!

Have mine monday,cant wait
Nice
Fantastic review!
Thank you
I have this drone it is a fun drone. I had to remove the SD card and put it back in and that worked for me.
Jay all excellent points. Anti roll would be a big positive. Your video is awesome 👍🏼😎

Hopefully on there next drone thell include like a landing light like on some of the other drones for night flying would be great.
Would be cool
Great vid, bro!

GREAT VIDEO MAN. I got the new atom 3 axis gimble.. still have not flew it
I have the new one as well
Wow good drone good review am going to buy one soon love it excellent range
Range is good out the box 📦
@@JayDrone yes it is can wait to get mine
I crashed hard 6 times before it broke. lol I actually fixed it and it works good as new. A really deceivingly tough little bird.
Nice sorry to here about crashes

Hey Jay👋!
Sup my guy do you think you could do a comparison between the potensic atom and the cfly faith mini🙏🏾? I really feel like those 2 are pretty cool minisi think you'll agree. I'll keep watching 👀ttyl✌🏾
If I had the other one I most definitely would but unfortunately I don’t have that drone
@@JayDrone all good bro.
I'll stay tuned just in case.
peace and prosperity to you! ✌🏾
Even if video is choppy is the actual recorded footage clear on the sd card that's on the drone?
Correct
It may have been your mic. It is known to have a major connectivity problem with other devices near to to controller. I suggest try again carrying only phone with drone.

I’m getting ready to order this drone off Amazon and it’s going to be my first drone should I also add the 2-Year Protection for $24.99?
Wouldn’t hurt if u got it

So what was the total flight time Jay?
Add it up 🆙 full battery from take off to shut down - understand that results will vary depending on timing just as well as wind and flight style
@@JayDrone and temperatures make a huge difference in battery life. Get down to zero or less you can expect to loose 20-30% of its life

Never saw more balls in a pilot for a limit test, literally dropped out of the air.... dead as a doornail. Thanks for the learning curve.
Happy to do the field test on me that way other people don’t have to experience mishap

Potensic atom 3 axis gimble dron just blew dji out of the water for price and what you get
You didn’t do something right then
RIP LIPO....
Nope, that’s not even the type of batteries It uses lol
Go ahead and troll my channel. I use this Drone quite often with the original batteries.
Good review 💯 i order it
I bet buying a really nice micro sd card for this drone helps in making the most use of the drones optics.
Correct
Talks to much bull 😂
No 🐂
