I just picked one of these up last week. Thanks for the information and man you have some amazing areas to fly over. The beaches looked awesome on video. Eager to get mine up in the air more.
Great review with some good tips getting the best out of the camera. Many say you can't get ND filters to fit this drone, but you can. Neewer makes ND filters and other filters for the DJ1 drones. They also fit the Potensic Atom. The shape of the hook that fits at the back of the camera is different to the official DJ1 ND filters. They just clip on Atom camera with no problems
Excellent drone! We love/d ours but I can confirm that they don't work underwater in rivers. I managed to get the SD card back (praise the Lord!).Yes, I tried fresh-water rinsing the drone, drying it out and giving it a go - it started smoking and I had visions of our boat being consumed by fire!... Replacement required, will buy again!
Thanks for the review. I get mine in two days and am hoping I made a right choice. I was tempted by DGI Mini 3 but this was considerably lower in price. True there are advantages with DGI but as it's my first decent/pricey (for me) drone I thought on balance this would be a good start.
Hi, what a nice detailed review! I want to ask about RAW photos you have mentioned before. Is it really RAW / DNG files or is it JPEG only? The same goes for video. Do we have D-Cinelike profile or LOG profile? Thanks in advance!
64gb card should be ok to start. I’d recommend a fast one, as you don’t want to waiting around while it buffers after a shot. But in saying that, it also comes with one, which is nice.
The video quality is shimmering and stuttering it's not smooth. I will save a bit more to get the DJI for a better smooth quality. 100 bucks more and get DJI mini 3 with no regrets.
I don't see any stuttering or 'shimmering' for me, it might be the compression from YT. Dynamic range is really the only issue I have with the video quality.
The DJI mini 2 is a way better value. You can find a used mini 2 fly more combo for under $300 also not to mention the better app and just better quality. There is still no competition to DJI unfortunately
Having flown the Mini 3, I’d say this compares more closely to that than the Mini 2. But either way, I’m liking a little more competition in the market

Nice! Good to know!
Great review. I am about to purchase as a first drone and this really helped.
Glad I could help!

Oh nooooo! well enjoy the new one!

I think you’ll love it!
How'd you like it?
@@christopher4101 I think for a beginner drone there’s plenty to like.

It’s really raw and JPG if you want. As for video there’s no log profiles at all. D-Cinelike is only for DJI.
Its will be mine for my first drone..value money for combo set ❤
Best of luck!
best review ever!!!
Too kind, thank you 🙏🏽
Very well done - THANKS! Bang for the buck at a true maximum with this drone.
My pleasure!
Nice review!
Thanks!
Just arrived! I'm looking forward to trying this out. Purchased a WeFone WF40 on Amazon for $92 for practice before I take this one out.
I'd probably just fly the Atom straight away tbh
Helpful, thanks . Gday from Scotland
Appreciate the support!
How good is the camera quality, and what size sd card do you recommend?
64gb card should be ok to start. I’d recommend a fast one, as you don’t want to waiting around while it buffers after a shot. But in saying that, it also comes with one, which is nice.
Thanks!🎉
How was now the video transmission?have you try longer range ?how long the atom reached before the transmission lagged?
All the best to the competitors but DJI just seem to be 1-2 generations ahead of the pack for this genre of drone
For sure, but value for money is a little different. For those starting it could easily be a cheaper alternative
Nive review!
Thanks!
Like 87🎉 awesome video my friend and thank you for sharing it...
This drone it's amazing and I'm flying a lot here on a mountain region of Brazil 🇧🇷
enjoy!
@@benmack how is my friend and thank you so much for your attention 🇧🇷 I'm sharing your videos here
Potensic Atom beats the Mavic 3 in Geo fencing . No point how good it is if you can't fly
Can i get a free drone for christmas??

@@benmack sure competition is always good for the consumers but I hope potensics next drone will be better
Used isn't new is it
DJI drones has Geo Gencing
Any idea of the actual range as the 6km stated is boholohocks
With direct line of sight, I'd say you'd get 2-3km with no problems.
I've just had 6.2 miles on dji mini 4k
