    Nice review mate. I'm a total newbie when it comes to drones and I just bought the Potensic. It's perfectly fine for me - it flies well, image quality is good and it's relatively cheap compared to DJI - I'm very happy with it. I got it for £320 with the "fly more" package, for a beginner like myself I think it's a steal.

    • @RobinDrones

      @@RobinDrones Yep, it's great. Having said that - I bought it from Potensic's ebay store as there was a £40 off deal at the time(it's £30 now). For anyone looking to buy this drone - please be aware that Potensic offers an extra 12 month warranty extension if you register the drone with them but it's only if bought directly from them or via Amazon - for whatever reason purchases from their ebay store or any 3rd party is not eligible for warranty extension.

    Many thanks for your personal assessment! A good comparison of the two drones at eye level. I own the Atom myself and it's good enough for a start. I would like to see better photo quality and more functions (similar to DJI) in this area. If I expand the hobby further, I probably won't be able to avoid a used drone (DJI Mini 3 Pro). Thank you very much!

    Great review. I got the Atom just based on price. Both are great beginner drones, which I am a beginner. Neither one is pro quality video. If you are going into business you need to spend more money for a better camera. I think Potensic will be adding features in the future with app and firmware updates. Overall I am pleased with the quality, stability and ease of flying the Atom. Thanks for an honest comparison., although I think you short changed the dji in a few categories.

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  5 месяцев назад

  • @Peakabike
    @Peakabike 4 месяца назад +2

    Interesting comparison, thanks ! It seems "clones" have improved since the days of the Fimi. They were also solid drones but the picture quality and software were just lacking. Sure they had more features but they weren't very well executed, tracking lost you, quick shots didn't get you centered for instance, panoramas just didn't work and the connection broke quickly with trees/blockage. So in the end they were cheaper but not really good value for money. I sold my Fimi X8 SE and got a used MP1 Platinum ;-)

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  4 месяца назад

      Yes, it's just as good as the DJi mini 2 se, in my opinion, and better value. Which is good for competition. I noticed that they lowered the price of the mini 2 se to match the Potensic ATOM! So it's good for us buyers

    I have the Ruko GIM2 and was looking for another drone to fly while one charged or for a friend to use. My choice was between these two drones or another Ruko, the Veeniix. I ended up getting the Potensic Atom in the end. I haven’t received the drone yet but after watching your review and side by side comparisons I’m confident that I won’t be disappointed. While Ruko has superb customer service. I felt like I wanted something that was just a little higher quality. It never hurts to branch out a little

    • @RobinDrones

      Yes both are good 👍 I will continue to use both of them. The Atom is a better buy as its very good value 👌

I have been wrestling with the idea of getting into drones for a long time. mainly because I have always done RC cars and trucks so drones were pretty much a new concept for me. I knew that DGI was pretty much number one and while I could afford it I didn’t necessarily want to invest that much into something I wasn’t sure I would like. Now, my car is in trucks are sitting on a shelf and I’m buying more drones 😂. also heavily interested in building an FPV drone in the near future

    If you buy the SE and it comes with one battery, how does one charge it? Can it be charged with a USB cable or is a separate battery charger required?

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  5 месяцев назад +2

      So you have to charge the battery while it's inside the drone by plugging in a USB c to the drone. This works fine. However, if the battery was to swell or catch fire(very slim chance), the drone would be destroyed. I would never trust any lipo battery 100%
      So I'd recommend getting the battery hub.
      And keep an eye on them while charging.

    A couple of points on the app, all that flight data, the when, where, how ect who has access to this, and can it be used against you in the case of a legal issue?, the atom app features can, while obviously not as polished as the dji be updated with features over time I'm thinking, so given dji has been polishing their systems for years potensic are new boys on the block, so maybe a better comparison here would be what was dji like at the same point in their past that would be the equivalent of the potensic offerings if you get my drift 😊

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  4 месяца назад +1

      Yes I get your drift 😉 I'm very happy with it. I'm finding myself using it more than the mini 2 se due to it having more features. It's obviously not as good as a mini 4 Pro due to the larger sensor on the dji. However, it's a third of the price when you factor in getting 3 batteries and a case for it!

    I am a bit concerned about ONE thing after seeing this is a very good value: Security, both my own and my Country's. As with most folks, I check the how much and why of ALL Apps I download (even "FREE" Flashlight apps collect a bagfull of data out of your phone), and see that the user agreement (like DJI's) is allowed to collect a LOT under the banner of public safety and adherence to laws (Whose laws? Chinese?). Perhaps I am being overcautious, realizing there are millions of products that make us agree to this. Should we be cocerned at all - just your unofficial personal opinion?

      One thing about the Dji app is that you have to download the apak file from their website! It's not allowed on Google playstore. That's a warning sign! If you're worried, you could download it on an old phone and remove the sim card and never connect it to WiFi and data 😀

      If you want the best quality, it's all about the sensor size, really.
      Check out my video comparing drone sensor sizes.
      ruclips.net/video/pu06LArnDFc/видео.htmlsi=dbR2hvJGp_wUvb_U
      So the best sub 250g drone is the Dji Mini 4 Pro, but it's £689 with just 1 battery. Add on another 2 batteries, then it's £800 + .
      Depends on how much you want to spend... 👍

      @RobinDrones  4 месяца назад

      Yes I agree that Dji quality is the best. As for the after sales, I've not had to use it for Potensic, but as for Dji I was missing 3 lenses from my recent Avata goggles refurbished purchase. I sent around 15 to 20 emails to dji about it, and they just kept sending me to different compartments. I got so fed up that I said I would purchase the missing lenses myself. They said no as they were missing from my order. 25 days later after loads more emails, they said we have them in stock and can ship them the next day however we don't supply individual lenses so you'll have to buy the whole set for €60 + €20 for shipping! 😳
      I then complained, and they finally shipped them to me. The whole process took over a month! But they got there in the end!

    One big plus on the Atom is it does not have Geofencing like the DJI does and that is a Big plus because I do not like having to get permission to fly every time I want from some really bad app! That in itself puts the Atom above and beyond the worthless DJI.

    I don't believe the DJIs bigger low light capable sensor is an advantage in a sub 250 gram drone. Why? The reason being if you want to fly legal in the U.S when the sun goes down, I think you are going to need to attach a strobe to your drone. Now if you do this, you are probably no longer flying a sub 250 gram drone, it depends on the weight of the strobe you attach to it. If the combined weight is over 250 grams I believe you will need to register it with the FAA and also buy and attach a remote ID module to it! It really defeats the purpose of buying a sub 250 drone. I attached my strobe and it put my Atom over 250 grams. I don't fly at night very often anyway. If I do, it is most often with my Phantom. I have LED lights to go along with the strobe on my Phantom. I use the Phantom even though I have a Mavic Pro. Mavic Pro is not that great in low light.

    • @RobinDrones
      @RobinDrones  5 месяцев назад

      I taped up the rear light and due to the drone being as quiet as it is then nobody could see the drone not even me.. The the tiny battery lights looked like tiny stars so if you wanted at night the sub drones nobody would know you were using them and there basically undetectable due to there size anyway..

      It's weird that you can't fly at night in Australia. Here in the UK, there are actually no rules to flying at night as long as you still have VLOS. But to have VLOS, you need a powerful strobe, so that's why we use them. 👍

    It's eventually going to end the drone and the biggest put of is the atoms flight logs are inaccesable which is the biggest put of as it's impossible to prove a malfunction yet nobody has mentioned it yet..
