One other advantage I forgot to mention is the lack of Geo Fencing. Alot of people will appreciate that.
yeah, dji gets me so often....grrr. Great vid Erik!
@Joe_Fotoleo thanks Joe! Definitely nice to see some decent healthy competition come up in the hobby!
It has geo fencing .. you can set it.
@tedc7714 Geo fencing refers to flight restrictions according to location and airspace. I know you can set the limits for height and distance but that's not what I was referring to.
In my opinion, the lack of a 3-axis gimbal is the Achilles heel of this drone, which makes his video stabilization not comparable to drones like the dji mini 2 se and fimi mini v2.
Definitely agree 👍 best of luck to you 🙏🤟
But the lack of an aeroscope tracking analog, zero geofencing, zero tracking by the drone manufacturer (unlike DJI that tracks and stores every single move you make) is the real selling point imo.
@dans4786 definitely agree lack of geofencing is a definite selling point over DJI or Autel product.
The lack of a fragile gimbal is the good thing of this drone. Makes it easier to carry in your pocket or bag. The Achilles heel is the follow-me feature. It's the wrong type. It only follows from behind where you can't watch it. Done correctly (with hompepoint update) this Atom SE could have been a better hiker/biker drone than a DJI Mini.
@@dans4786 Indeed, the fimi mini has no GEO fence too, with the nearly same price, you can get a much better little drone in every aspect. Also it's shame that potensic atom copied the design of the fimi X8 mini directly, specially the remote, it's looks the same. I heard that fimi plans to sue them.
I am considering my first venture into flying a drone. As a very senior citizen, I am pretty leary of attempting this, (I'm 72 years old and my vision & reflexes aren't what they use to be), I'm impressed with the apparent ease of learning to fly this without crashing my wallet and, after your review, will certainly look into this drone some more. A gimbal would be nice of course, but one bite at a time.
I have the 3 axis gimbal version and will be testing very soon. Stay tuned! 😉
Thanks so much for a great review! I totally agree with the pros and cons you pointed out. It is a very nice all around sub-250 g drone but the lack of a 3 axis gimbal does hurt it a bit at that $299 price point. I do love how it flies though!
Your very welcome. Thanks for watching and I was told by the company a 3 axis gimbal version is in the works so stay tuned!!
It can be had for S160
..got mine for S154.
It's more fun than mini. Faster..
Mine is slow to find gps .. but does fine.
I like how you didnt hate on it simply because it wasnt made by DJI, it isnt made to be a top notch performance drone, it is a high level BEGINNER drone. If you cannot afford DJI, this is a decent alternative.
Beginner level is what my understanding it is geared towards. The gimble seams to be the part of the drone that takes a beating with new flyers. The Atom SE seems to have a bit more protection against crashes.🤷♂
This drone is absolutely perfect for surveillance. Say you live someplace where riots break out or some type of shtf situation. Get extra batteries and you can run surveillance 24 hours around your property
Great review man and it honestly dont look to bad. Its always great to have someone looking out for others. Appreciate what you do E.
Thanks for watching I really do appreciate your support! Definitely a solid option.
@@edrone_ fingers crossed 🤞
Been looking at DJI minis but don’t want to break the bank buying one this seems like a good alternative since I’ve only ever flown drones as a kid where they would crash after 5 min of use so thanks for the review was really great went over everything a was very clear 👍
Thanks for the feedback and support! I really do like this drone overall.
I am a first time drone buyer so I bought a $100 high end toy drone which is not even as good as that one,,,
This one will probably be my next one if I can afford it. Lol thanks bro. Much Love!
Great review! I agree about the gimbal, its kinda the reason you would want to buy a drone like that. I know we all love to flame DJI, but someone needs to step up and bring em some competition!
Thanks my friend! Definitely need some good healthy competition to the giant for sure and I feel Potensic is getting closer 🤟
This one now has a 3 axis gimble.
I think your range limitations may be due to the electrical interference or the radio tower. It could also be your wireless mic. It's been proven that the DJI and possibly Rode wireless mics have a huge effect on the range that the drone gets. Great review overall. I noticed the fogging of the lens and I've heard some people mention it but it seems to go away after a bit.
All good points. As far as the wireless mic I did not use it for the flight review, I only used the Gopro Mic during the flying portion. I also think the range could have been improved if I flew a bit higher. I was staying close to the tree tops to get cinematic footage. I also noticed the fogging of the camera in the beginning. It did go away shortly and I wonder if giving it a wipe with a camera lense cloth would help with that? Thanks for your feedback greatly appreciated. I saw the radio tower as well but the school was closed so I figured maybe the transmitter would have been off? Best of luck to you 🙏🤟👍
i got a few people that get kl. people in higher populations cant get more than 2km. @@edrone_
Potensic has just announced for the new product launch date.. Sep 15th 🎉🎉.. Excited to see something brilliant 😉
They told me they are in the works of a 3 axis gimbal version of this drone. Hoping I will get to review.
awesome filming dude. keep up the good work thanks. helped me alot
Thank you! Much appreciated.
Already own this. Thought you checked off all my thoughts. Definetly needs that gimbal . Im hearing they will release a version soon. I too want the intelligent modes improved.
All in all hughe thumbs up on review.
Thank you! I really do appreciate your feedback and opinions. 🙏🤟
Ha! Yup, pretty much. It's a camera drone, so I'd expect the footage to be at least somewhat useable.
That lack of a gimbal and failed eis was a no-go for Kelly and me, as well.
Also, the poor range and choppy feed was an issue for me on our "second chance - saved from a dumpster" attempt.
I'm glad you had the same experience as there were several commenters who were saying things like "you must have been paid by DJI" etc. 😅
Good review, Erik.
Thanks Kris! I'm sure like me you saw the potential this drone had but even with all the positive experiences the image stability is way too important and ultimately will ruin this drone for most people.
Totally agree! @@edrone_ I'm curious to see if you get any hate comments. Lol they are entertaining.
@@edrone_Watch his original video.Clearly deliberately flying it badly.Then look at some of the smooth flying and footage on the Facebook page.
Great review! I agree with you regarding price point if it’s 300dls rage there are better options like DJI mini. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and also the giveaway. 👏👏👍
Appreciate you watching and your feedback good luck! 👍🙏
It looks like a good little drone. Maybe they just need to refine it a wee bit, smooth out the ruff edges and it might just be a great wee drone 🚁👍
Seems like a good intro drone, a little bit of a delay after you hit the orbit feature would be good. Good to meet you this weekend.
Man it was my pleasure to meet you Chris! Had a great time melting together in the parking lot. Thank you so much for all your hospitality. Can't wait to do it again 🤟
I just want to say thanks for the opportunity to win such an amazing drone! I'm really glad there's people in the world like you. The drone is really nice and hope I win. Goodluck everyone! Have a great one man! You're the best
Thank you for the kind words and your support means alot! I'm happy to bless someone and I wish you the best of luck 🙏🤟
Like you said, it is a little over priced, but overall, a great drone, specially for beginners
I think this would hit a lot of boxes for people if the price was $150-200 but at $250-300, its competing with mini2 and autels lite drones. I think its well made from what's I've seen. yes, there's no geofencing but I think the people looking for a first drone won't know about this due to dji being so big. it is on amazon though so it could do as well as holystone drones so who knows
Appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this. Thanks for sharing and best of luck brother 🙏👍🤟
Great Review. Almost bought it till I watched this video. Thanks you. Id like to have it for my son that is interested in getting into the drone world if its still available!
There is a new version out now with a 3 axis gimbal. I will be reviewing soon.
Nice review, I have had an Atom SE for just over six months and love mine. Were you aware that Potensic has just released the Atom with a 3 axis gimbal, quick shots, 6 KM range (under ideal conditions of course), adjustable ISO and other added camera settings over the SE, and it lists for around $400.00 USD for the fly more kit with charging hub and three batteries. Thanks for the review and I waiting for my wallet to give permission to order mine lol.
Thank you! Yeah I'm excited for the 3 axis gimbal version and hopefully will be reviewing in the next couple of weeks.
Great review! I love the controller!
Thanks and good luck 🙏👍
I had one 3 days, Its going back over the fact it cant take a level pic even with no wind apparently but I have had lines go through video when it was 5 feet in front of me out to 800 feet. It started toilet bowling today, had to recalibrate after only two batteries. I was impressed with it holding its own in wind but it cannot make up for the rest. I was thinking of grabbing the 3 AX gimbal version but thats $400. Is it worth that compared to a DJI?
I'm reviewing the 3 axis gimbal version very soon stay tuned 😉
Great video man! I wondered what you think about the holy stone 360s by chance
Have not had a chance to see that one yet. Thanks for watching and check out my brand new Holystone HS600 review out now!
i just bought the Potensic Atom its an upgraded version with 3 axis gimbal starting at $289.
You have the antenna pointed at the ground. Increase range by setting up the antenna as instructed 👍
I got mine yesterday and the video footage is watery and shaky what sd card would u recoment has ive tried a few and video playback is still watery and chopy no mater what sd card ive tried have u any idea why this is happening if u can let me know i would appriciate any advice thank you
Sounds like you may have a issue with the eis. (Electronic image stabilization) You can try another micro sd card. I use the Samsung Evo 128 gb cards. If that still does not change I would try and return or exchange you may have a defective unit.
Nice review! I would be interested in your take on the C-Fly Faith mini.
Thank you! I have heard of that one. Maybe C-Fly will send me one to review.
Great footage , cheers .
Thanks 🤟🙏
I like the remote because ur fone is in the center.. its balance
I just got an Atom with 3 axis gimble (and 6km range va 4 on the SE). Picture is def cleaner with no discernible chatter on the better gimble.
Re the transmission breakup you experienced, the manual advises that the flat surface on the antennae is where the signal emanates. Looked like you had the tips pointed toward drone so the antennae were transmitting parallel to the ground instead of up towards the drone. FWIW they recommend one flat and one vertical for broadest single strength at a distance.
Re the reception issues you had
Looks pretty decent for the money. Great starter drone i suppose.
Definitely has some great features and functionality! 🤟
Was this pre the Updates?
You can disable the beep on the RTH
Nice Vid
I did the updates at the time before flying. There's probably a newer update since then. Thanks!
I have a holystone 720e as my first drone that I care about crashing but still do on occasion lol. Wanted to know if the potensic would be considered an upgrade thank you for answering that question
If the Holystone 720 has a 3 axis gimbal then this one would not be a upgrade.
@edrone_ it Does not and the gps on the holystone is super sketchy....It works or it doesn't, and when in "Doesn't Mode" regaining control is another crap shoot entirely.
I just purchased this drone for $177.00 including tax and free shipping. Brand new.
I would like to see a DJI for that price
Wow thats one heck of a deal! You mind posting where you found for that price?
Ebay
I bought this and didnt realise it was not a 3 axis gimbal. Tested it the other day and was not impressed. Need a light drone for goiong travelling in April. So I might get the fimi mini
Potensic makes a 3 axis gimbal version now.
@@edrone_ yeh realised that after I got the atom SE. Got the fimi mini in the end. Was cheaper than the atom but the same features. I think it even shares a lot of parts. Very similar feeling drone
Great review
Thank you and good luck 🙏🤟
I am currently in the market for a cheaper drone to shoot fishing and car videography shots. I have been using a friends dji mini 4K, but considering buying one of these. I know this has the EIS instead of a gimbal, but overall seems like they are fairly similar in terms of general design and video quality. Do you have any recommendations on which would be the better option of the two?
The good thing is you definitely have some options. So there is a newer model of the Potensic Atom that has a 3 Axis gimbal. Definitely check that one out. It's called the Potensic Atom. Both the DJI Mini 4k and the Potensic Atom are very similar. Biggest difference is the DJI has geo fencing and the Potensic does not.
@@edrone_ thanks for your quick response! Since I am familiar with the DJI, I think I’ll order the Potensic Atom and if I’m not satisfied with it as much as the DJI I guess I’ll just return it and go with the dji!
Great video....thank you!🙏 I am a true Drone virgin. I'm considering one as a tool to check out my roof, gutters & down pipes. Normally I'd pull out my ladder & scale up the 25 feet several times a year, checking on things, although at 70 years old it's a bit more daunting. Should be noted that today, for the Atom SE, Amazon wants $314.xx (with coupons) Canadian, all in (txs too). The comparable Atom w/gimble & DJI Mini 2 SE kits are about $300 more or 2x as much. The Atom SE seems to meet my needs & budget better. Do you have a suggestion for an alternate at the same cost at the Atom SE? Cheers from Vancouver 🇨🇦
your go pro would of been the thing that made the camera glitchy because it might have interference on the antenna
Gopro had Bluetooth and wifi both turned off so I don't think it was the camera. Maybe the antenna in the back possibly?
Watching other videos on this drone, you can't have a 2.4 GB mic or any kind of transmission that ruins the distance. And then I notice you had a Pole right by you. Which I don't know what they do with that Pole as far as radio waves. So give it a try without their mic. Or whatever you have, that's interfering.
All good points. As far as the wireless mic I did not use it for the flight review, I only used the Gopro Mic during the flying portion. I also think the range could have been improved if I flew a bit higher. I was staying close to the tree tops to get cinematic footage. Thanks for your feedback greatly appreciated. I saw the radio tower as well but the school was closed so I figured maybe the transmitter would have been off? Best of luck to you 🙏🤟👍
Thank you
🤟👍
2.4 ghz band disrupts the signal on this drone especially range wise. Idk if that was an issue in this video but it has been for others
Any word on propeller guards for this one?.
Potensic Atom SE, camera zoom 2024 upgrade, have updated your Atom SE. Zoom control.
You would think for the make they could have made a better drone
Definitely overpriced for not having a gimbal.
It comes down so fast that it dances around a little in its own propwash..
nice review
Thanks I appreciate it! 🙏🤟
Thanks for this wonderful video! Enter me on the giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win this amazing drone... Cheers! The lack of three axis gimbal is such a shamw for a wonderful drone... But everything will work out because the quality topped it all off. Wish to win this drone for embarking on a wonderful world of a new hobby.
Thank you and good luck! 👍🙏
I'll stick with my M-mini 2
Nice video I just want to say I am a beginner flyer and I ain't into all the quality of a video or photo I just would love to win that drone for to learn how to fly but thanks again nice video
Thanks so much for sharing and good luck 🙏🤟
Is there a secret to connecting to this for the first time? I've tried three times with zero luck. I have an SD card in it and tried inside and outside to connect to it.
Should be bound out of the box. If not there should be instructions in the manual how to rebind.
Thanks for the detailed review.. It is amazing! I am actually interested to get a drone.. I am so excited about that Potesnic Atom SE...
Its video footage is so nice, and it can fly so fast .. wow ..amazing ;)
I have a question, I noticed a flare in the upper part of the video for the first few minutes, is it something to worry about while shooting ?
Thanks for watching and leaving your feedback. The flare I think was from the drone being in the cooler vehicle and once the sun hit it I think that may have caused a little condensation. Probably just make sure to give a wipe with a microfiber cloth before flying when in hotter or colder environments.
@@edrone_ Fair enough.. thanks :)
are there any other under 249g drones with a 3 axis gimble not named DJI?, I've only really flown Whoops, I did pick up a HS360S when they went for 85 bucks for a week but going from headset to phone is something else again, I do enjoy your vids.
Definitely not many and the ones that I have seen, the quality is nowhere near DJI. Thanks for your support 🤟 Good luck 👍🙏
I think autel has one.
Fimi X8 Mini is probably the best alternative to a DJI Mini.
My C-Fly Faith Mini isn't too bad for the price. Follow-me was a disappointment for me.
SJRC F5+ with 3-axis gimbal+EIS. It may be over 250 grams.
I still like my SG108 Pro. It's 270 grams and video is bit shaky. But it's only $130 and has a gimbal and SD-card slot. My S188 had great quality video. 256 grams. Are we really going to register for 6 grams or 20 grams? Cars kill 1.3 million people every year and are allowed to go a bit fater than max speed.
The se doesn't have optical avoidance
It does not. It has optical flow sensors on the bottom. I misspoke.
Hey thanks for this review. Do you know if remote ID is permanently engaged on this?
This drone does not have standard remote id built in. It is sub 250 so it will not require registration for recreational flying.
@@edrone_ SOLD!
Good review! But I think for the price, there isn't much else out there as nice as this drone is. I thin some of you pro drone evaluators have a some unrealistic expectations for a 250 dollar nice quality video - camera drone.
And to me, an example of how unrealistic your expectations seemed to be were your repeated, "Oh wow, it is really slow" remarks, in "Video Mode", when I thought the video was exceptional, for the prince point.
I have seen reviews on just about every drone in this price range, and so far, the video from this unit, looks way better then most drones in this rice range. But after all, I am still just a novice in this Drone thing..
Did you give this drive away to anyone?
Yes.
I think You left the plastic on the camera
Definitely took it off. The haze was from taking the drone out of the air conditioning and into the warmer outside air. It cleared after a bit of flying.
Im digging this drone you did your job well on this video...im really digging this...if u eant to sell that or trade let me know....great video i live you hahaj😂😊😅
Thanks brother. You never know you may end up winning this if fate chooses you!
If you want to get better range and longer distance you have to have it on airplane mode sir
Thanks for your input. The only issue I see with using airplane mode is for your maps. If you don't have cell service for the maps they may not work properly or be the most accurate. Would need to see if you can cache the map before turning on airplane mode.
Why do they advertise up to 4KM/13,123ft but you started loosing signal at 1440 feet 😂 I sadly ordered this and I’m regretting it already
The lack of a gimbal for the price point is really the killer of this thing in my opinion
💯 agree 👍
Hi, are you a potensic Atom SE owner have you upgraded your carmera zoom in zoom out 2024.update.
User error
Not even close.
Your near power lines . other reviewers didn't have power lines anywhere near , and it has a 3 kilometre/2.50+ miles and the other version has a 5 kilometre range. Those power lines your are testing the drone near should be taken into consideration most experienced drone pilots know this. Power Lines ???? behind you Hmmm didn't you see them?
They Chem trailing you like a mofo homie.
Tennessee huh 🤔
Great video!!!! I just lost my only camera drone way up in a 100ft. Tree 😢😢😢 im looking to get a camera drone....do you have any for sale....or i have five custom 5' fpv.....quads....maybe a little trade going on 😊let me now whatsbup
Sorry to hear about this unfortunate incident my friend. This camera drone is the only one I have at the moment but I am giving it away on youtube. I'm doing a random comment picker so you may get picked. 🤞
Congratulations brother you won! 🎉👏 Send me a email at emarvel09@gmail.com to claim your free drone.
@edrone_ did u give it to him?
@@LongLiveVonOTF-dr8cf yes
I own one and I'm more than happy with it. My range test reached 2.7 km, through the mountains, which might have something to do with decreasing range distance. The battery gives me 28 minutes of flying, which is not bad at all.Speaking for me, i see the video quality perfect . Talking of the lack of the gimbal, yes , they failed, and they realised that because at the end of this autumn they will came up with a new 3 axis gimbal drone. So overall,as I'm not a professional droner, it's more than perfect for me, even speaking of the lack of the gimbal. This is a link of a video i made without no editing more than cut and paste. And it's not in 4K, but in FHD. ruclips.net/video/L6DGrbOzGW4/видео.htmlsi=sBT-s2tHRLX1rPqs
Thanks for sharing! I was very excited when the company reached back out and told me about the 3 axis gimbal in the works. Hopefully I will be reviewing that model as well.
