Potensic ATOM SE GPS Drone with 4K EIS Camera, Under 249g, 62 Mins Flight, 4KM FPV Transmission, Brushless Motor, Max Speed 16m/s, Auto Return, Lightweight and Foldable Drone for Adults Beginner

Bought for 14 year old. He was flying instantly with very little past drone experience. Setup documentation is a little lacking. Camera is OK. Camera is not as fluid as other drones in the same category but for the price and easy of setup and flying, I highly recommend. Does well in moderate wind as well. Batteries and controller all charge USB-C. Battery charge is about 1.5 hours to full. Compact. Great little drone and comes with a nice soft case.

This is my first drone. I had $250 worth of Amazon gift cards that I had collected from Christmas and my 55th birthday and didn't need any golf stuff so i decided to look at drones. After 2 weeks of looking and reading reviews and watching a few videos, I decided to go with the Atom SE. It's a great drone. Very stable. Watch the many Youtube reviews of this drone and they are nothing but positive. I've had the drone for 3 weekends now and have flown it on 3 separate days. I had read the manual and watched a few tutorial videos before I flew it the first time. I flew it behind and over my house a few hundred feet above and beyond the house. It went perfect. Very easy to control and learn. The remote is awesome. I have a Pixel 7 Pro and it fits nice and snug even with a case on it. The batteries last quite a while, about 25 minutes on average. Today was the warmest day (45F) that I've flown it and the first time that the battery was warm enough to let me go into sport mode. Lots of fun flying around at 35 mph. The videos and pictures that I've captured thus far look a little bit better than the ones attached to Amazon reviews.I did have a close call today. My oldest son and his fiance were visiting and I was showing my son the drone controls while it was hovering about 50 feet off of the ground. My controller started flashing warnings about losing signal and then the drone started doing a death spiral shortly after that. It started moving towards the ground in a spiral fashion and I got control of it with an emergency stop when it was about two feet off the ground. It was then that I remembered the iPhone warnings that I had heard about in the reviews. They say to put iPhones in airplane mode when flying the drone due to interference. My son had his iPhone in his pocket while I was showing him the controls. I had him place it in airplane mode after that and started the drone back up and flew it for about 15 minutes without issue.Originally I purchased the 2 battery combo package but have since purchased the 3 battery charger with 1 additional battery. It's a great charger, easy to use and, fits nicely in the case. Speaking of the case, it's really nice and fits everything perfectly.Overall, I think this is a great drone for the money. I have no regrets in purchasing it. My drone weighs in at 248 grams with the battery in it according to my weight watchers scale. If you're in the US don't forget to do your TRUST training. I did mine through the Pilot Institute website and it was very easy to complete.

A solid competitor for DJI, the Atom series drones (especially my Atom SE) have been a perfect alternative.The Price? Significant difference for the combo.Flight time is pretty good, as a battery can run about 30 minutes before the drone needs to return to home.The Atom SE was user friendly, and perfect for beginners like me, and the camera quality is on par.My first flight using waypoints ended with the Atom hitting a tree and falling to the base of it, ejecting the battery in the process. While it consistently gives me an Optical Flow error right now, it hasn’t directly affected the subsequent flights. The crash did damage two of the propellers, but the drone has proven to be durable, as it is still flying with the original props.Overall, even without an SD card (I record my phone screen currently), the quality is A1, and the size is perfect, as I don’t need a larger drone for the various things I utilize it for.

So far, so good. Flys pretty good, can go pretty fast...and is super stable, for videos and all. and it doesn't appear to lag at all, which is great💯. 2 issues I do have, 1 in particular to my drone. And the other, for the Atom SE drone in general. For other buyers, and the drone in general, there no zoom feature. No "standard" zoom at least. Which you figure most all cameras come with. And a key feature I like and need. But you can adjust the frame speed, and kind of get a closer shot...nit the same, or near as good, as being able to zoom, IMO. But as good as this drone is, still worth it, again, IMO. But as for my drone in particular, My front, right motor, has a very distinct clicking, kind of ratcheting sound/feel when slowly spinning, testing and checking the propellers and motors. But if I twirl it fast, it gets smooth. And obviously seems to fly well. I don't think there is an issue with it. But I learned the hard way, to speak up. When you buy expensive equipment, tools, tech and gadgets...a little problem at the start, can turn big, if not catastrophic. If not caught, brought up and addressed, fixed, replaced, made right... especially again, when such matters concern any significant amount of $. At least we can only hope😌💯.

I purchased this drone for my husband's 70th Birthday. He absolutely loves it. It's very easy to learn how to use (he did have a very large drone a few years ago). It came with a great case for us to be able to travel with, two batteries, a type C cord and a set of extra blades. The video quality is excellent, and the battery life is dependent on how much video you capture, but it is between 23-30 minutes on a full charge. This drone does not have a gimbal as it is an entry level drone and that's just fine for the recreational use he plans on doing with it. I want to note that their Customer Service is top of the line. We had a question, emailed Potensic, and they were amazing!! Highly recommend this product if you are just starting out.
