Thank you sir, great review of the update, and really nice flying! Have a couple other UAs, but my Atom should be arriving today. Good to know the firmware updates are solid (sans a couple of FPV drops...a little weird), and can't wait to take this little guy up. Appreciate your content!
Mine that is this model does great out at our land. I can go very far with it. I think city/town environments have much more obstacles and wireless interference. Nice video sir!
Every question I had about the new update that I have downloaded but haven't flown it since, you have answered. I'm a long time subscriber and please keep up the good vids
Hi again buddy. Those glitches you got there are what I had before this new update in normal mode, from my position, to around 50ft away. First time I've experienced it before. Have updated now and am hoping at some point to test the new update out. Best wishes from Bromley, Kent, England
Hi Steve, Do you ever fly around Lewisham way? I've been looking for a drone for a long time, but couldn't really stomach the DJI prices! Would love to see one of these in the flesh (and check on a few features that aren't discussed much...namely locking the exposure/white balance on video recording and checking WiFi stability in urban areas)
@@LaurenceLDN Hi Laurence. No, I've never flown around busy areas, but did fly at Beckenham Place Park a few times. Norman's Park and a few places near me a few times. The Potensic Atom 3 axis gimbal is a very capable drone and much cleaper than the DJI 3 and a great drone to start with. I'm finding it a great introduction to the hobby and still have more to learn when flying it...but great fun and come autumn, I'll be looking at getting some great video of the changing of the colours. It does have limitations on connection...same as any other drone, but height is might for where you control it from. Hope that answers any questions you have buddy. Best wishes
@@stevetaylor8446 thanks for the reply. I managed to get a DJI Mini 3 for £259 from Very - so the Atom is off my radar for now. I may end up regretting that as the Atom doesn't have geo restrictions. But good to hear your insight about where you have flown & pleased that it is working out for you!
Thanks for your video, I always enjoy the different drones and your narrative. I do have a comment on your criticism of UAV Forecast. You said in the beginning of your video how inaccurate the program was at the time. I was just as critical as you when I first started using the program, but then I realized that it is all in the name, "Forecast". It's not to tell you what the wind is at the time, you can see that already, but it is a forecast of what the wind may or will be. True to it's name I noticed by the end of your video, the wind was blowing much stronger, exactly what it had foretasted just a short time before. Thanks again, I'll be looking forward to your next video.😁
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTENT,,YOUR FLYING SKILLS ARE AWESOME ASWELL, AS THE MANUAL ORBIT WHICH I MUST LEAN WATCH AN LEARNED ALOT FROM YOUR CHANNEL OVER THE LAST YEAR,,THANK YOU.
The Atom continues to be a very compelling offering in the mini segment. It’s very hard to contend with the overall value package here. Thanks again Marcus for these videos on non-DJI drones.
It looks like the Atom is flying pretty good with that new firmware. And don't seem to get the signal penetration you do with O4 on DJI drones, when you took the drone to low, that is when you had signal loss issues. Great testing, and thanks for sharing Marcus.
Hi Marcus, great video as usual. I'm curious if you think the video interference is more common in a suburban area with lots of WiFi. I'm in a very rural area and don't seem to experience the video interruptions however, when I fly in a local park surrounded by homes, I seem to have more video interference. If I remember correctly, you took the Potensic Atom to a very rural area and the video performance was good. Anyway, it is a fun drone to fly, and we appreciate your excellent videos.
Hi Marcus, nice review of the Atom's firmware update, thanks for sharing. While many of these 2nd tier drones have limited range compared to DJI Mini's, they all work pretty well in the range of VLOS. IMO if the Atom gets a larger sensor it will be a very good mini drone choice. I enjoy flying my Potensic Atom.
Im sticking with my dji mini 3 pro, I had that one and it broke! It has problems....Plus I bought dji care refresh in case of a problem! Nice video, happy fathers day!
Hi Marcus, I really appreciate your reviews of the Potensic Atom, and I saw your other video where you featured the intelligent flight modes. One thing Im curious about though that you didnt cover is if it has the same Panoramic and Wide Angle function that you've demonstrated with the DJI Mini drones, where the app will take the shots and splice them together seamlessly. Is that the case with the Potensic Atom as well?
How do you screen recording with the Potensic Atom? I have a Potensic Atom and an dji mini 4 pro and the RC2 with screen display built-in and I know how to do screen recording on that dji screen controller. However, with the Potensic controller does not have a screen display like the dji RC2. Therefore, I don't know how to screen recording with the Potensic controller. Do you mind if you can do a video tutoring on how to screen record with the Potensic Atom? Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you fly above 120 meters in the US? If so, lucky you! We can't do that in EU. - In Portugal, you can't even take off without a permit.
Hi Marcus , as I told you a few a few Reviews ago , just having these Birds in my Arsanal is just Satisfying but let me tell you something right now ! The Video on that Atom, looks Superb !!!! The Range might be Crap but Boy does that Video Quality looks good !!! Nice Stuff Marcus , take care .☺️
You don't seem to understand that when signal is lost and return to home kicks in the drone is disconnected from the settings you adjusted in the safety menu, so to be safe the drone is programed to max altitude for a safe return. Can you explain why you are always surprised when disconnected the drone goes to max altitude because I am always surprised that you don't understand this safety feature. Thanks , Bill
, hello sir, my potensic atom se doesn't connect anymore with the remote control after i flew it a few times, drone and rc is good but drone can't connect with the remote control, i hope you can helo me solve this issue.
So not so Good range with video signal ? Do dji have better video signal? I will buy potensic atom but if video signal is not Good will go for dji mini 2 se
Well, the DJI competition keeps on trying and getting better slowly, always risky flying them dinky plasticky drones over buildings though, just out of curiosity if one of them props broke say and the thing fell on to one of the roofs, would you go into the store and ask for your drone back, I guess it's best to have insurance just in case anyway. I had to knock on a neighbour's door once and that was embarrassing enough, although that was decades ago and involved an RC copter.
Thank you sir, great review of the update, and really nice flying! Have a couple other UAs, but my Atom should be arriving today. Good to know the firmware updates are solid (sans a couple of FPV drops...a little weird), and can't wait to take this little guy up. Appreciate your content!
Thank you! Have fun with that new drone!
You kept your cool under difficult conditions, well done!. I'm learning alot from your videos, thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you very much!
Mine that is this model does great out at our land. I can go very far with it. I think city/town environments have much more obstacles and wireless interference. Nice video sir!
Yes, WiFi interference in town makes a difference. 👍
Every question I had about the new update that I have downloaded but haven't flown it since, you have answered. I'm a long time subscriber and please keep up the good vids
Thank you, I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Nice flight as always, hope more brands keep releasing new products and new improvements,not just dji.
I agree. Potensic is serious about this little drone!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your compliment!
awsome stuff Marcus.
Thank you!
always nice to have updates. i hope they release a new drone soon too
Yes, I'm glad they're still improving the drone.
The Atom continues to be a very compelling offering in the mini segment. It’s very hard to contend with the overall value package here.
Thanks again Marcus for these videos on non-DJI drones.
Thank you! Yes, the little Atom is a fun drone.

These drones are getting better Ron. Not yet up to DJI, but better for sure. Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you! I think you're absolutely correct. I've noticed the same.

Potensic really has shown that they care about improving their drones. I like the little Atom.
is that my only impression , that the Image after the Firmware UPdate, is better then before?
Thanks for the update info. Your rth is not 35m unless you uncheck the box above.
Yes, Potensic defaults to 120 meters unless you uncheck the box.
Marcus and his potensic atom haha. Nice flight
Ha! Never give up, never surrender! 😀
Not bad, at least they updated the firmware. That said, it's definitely not something for distance flying. 👍
It need a better bitrate, but the camera is not bad. Thank you Alan!
Im sticking with my dji mini 3 pro, I had that one and it broke! It has problems....Plus I bought dji care refresh in case of a problem! Nice video, happy fathers day!
Geofencing is an issue for so many people. Lots of other people do not have the same circumstances as you.
I'm glad DJI took care of you!

In my case I use the iPhone built in screen recorder. 👍
good vid in joy watch thank Marcus
Thank you again Johnny!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you fly above 120 meters in the US? If so, lucky you! We can't do that in EU. - In Portugal, you can't even take off without a permit.
No like you we have a 120 meter limit. Thank you for watching!
Hi Marcus , as I told you a few a few Reviews ago , just having these Birds in my Arsanal is just Satisfying but let me tell you something right now ! The Video on that Atom, looks Superb !!!! The Range might be Crap but Boy does that Video Quality looks good !!! Nice Stuff Marcus , take care .☺️
I agree Jeremy. The camera is not bad. I wish it had a higher bitrate.
@@IdahoQuadcopter,Yes ! That's it !
Enjoyed the flight. Does the Atom have digital zoom ? Thank you
I've been told it does, but I've never looked into it.
Another great video, Marcus let’s get that bird in the air. I wish DJI came out with some new drones.
DJI gets enough of my money as it is Robert! 😄

Can you explain why you are always surprised when disconnected the drone goes to max altitude because I am always surprised that you don't understand this safety feature. Thanks , Bill
Ha! 😄 Thank you for watching!
I’m looking to buy either potensic Atom or the dji 4k mini which one do y’all recommend?
The Mini 4K has a better camera and transmission system. 👍
Another good one for the Idaho folks. Oh yeah, I think its getting worse here in Garden Valley. New updates twice a day now.
Thank you! I'm sorry to hear about all that smoke and fire in GV.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Im doing 2 videos a day to show what were going thru.
Does this have exposure and white balance lock when recording video?
Yes, it sure does!
, hello sir, my potensic atom se doesn't connect anymore with the remote control after i flew it a few times, drone and rc is good but drone can't connect with the remote control, i hope you can helo me solve this issue.
It could be many things. Your best bet is to contact Potensic.
15:02 is this a crooked horizon?
Yes I think so. I did see a crooked horizon in other spots too.
Man that picture is sharp like the autel but it looks quite nice...
Does it fly better then autel nano though?
The Nano has better flight controls and a much better camera. The Potensic needs a better bitrate. 👍
Nice fly
Thank you sir!
So not so Good range with video signal ? Do dji have better video signal?
I will buy potensic atom but if video signal is not Good will go for dji mini 2 se
The Mini 2SE has a much better signal for both range and signal strength. 👍
@@IdahoQuadcopter thanks

Thank you for watching!
My potensic does the job,goes far enough for me😃
That's great to hear. Thank you for watching.
Trees are bad for signal. Signal does not go through water, trees and leaves are full of water.
That is very true!
É show
Passando pra prestigiar aquele super Like ✌️
Thank you very much!
Ese dron tiene fobia al suelo, cada vez que se acerca a el cierra los ojos🙈🙈🙈
Yes, drones like the air better than ground! 😄
Is it fpv compatible
Yes, with the DroneMask 2 goggles.
@@IdahoQuadcopter yippee I shall now commence the ordering of thou drone and thou goggles
1 m/s is 2.2 mph
Thank you Mark.
New update has zoom
Thank you! I'll check that out.
Kind of boring, i never seen break ups by any other reviewers
Be careful. Your purchase confirmation bias is showing. 😄 Thank you for watching nonetheless.
Похоже он страдает завалом горизонта,поверьте вам это скоро надоест.Такие же недочёты и с Fimi mini,но там это так и не вылечили до сих пор.
Yes, I understand. I still enjoy my DJI drones for that reason.
