Hi Bas Retie, Really good video, as a fellow drone pilot I am interested in other makes of drone (I own a DJI Mini 4 Pro but also had a Roku F11 Gim2 & Roku F11 mini) . I really like how you set out your video as well. Video footage looks really good. I'm not that familiar with Potensic Drones, what Atom is this?. Also I noticed when you were flying the compass would flash red at times, what does that mean?
There are only 2 ATOM models: POTENSIC ATOM and POTENSIC ATOM SE. Technically, the drones differ minimally. The "SE" lacks a gimbal, instead opting for a single-axis with EIS, while the regular Atom, as seen in the video here, has a 3-axis gimbal. The Sony sensor is the same. The Atom has a transmission range of 6km and the SE only 4km, but these are just theoretical values. The Atom relies on Smart Visual Tracking Method, while the SE uses GPS Tracking. The Atom has a FOV (Field of View) of only 78°, whereas the SE has 118°. The remaining differences are only in software. SE shoots in automatic mode, while the ATOM offers both auto and manual (ISO/Shutter Speed/White Balance Setting). And the ATOM has more Flight Modes, such as QuickShots-Pull-away, Rocket, Boomerang, etc. For those who prioritize videos, the ATOM is a good choice. For those who can live with FPV and don't want to spend as much, then the SE is suitable. Although, I must say: Those considering the Atom should also look at the DJI Mini 2 SE. The drones are almost identical. However, the Mini 2 SE has a 2.7k resolution, which should suffice for all tasks. I opted for the ATOM SE (instead of DJI) because the remote control is simply great and beautiful
