Potensic ATOM LT GPS Drone Under 249g, 40 Mins Long Flight, EIS 2.5K Camera, 4KM FPV Transmission, Brushless Motor, Precise Auto Return, SurgeFly, Entry Level Foldable Drone for Adults Beginner, White

First off this drone is so much fun. Flying it safe is fun!! This drone is very easy to operate. Take your time. Use the beginners settings. This will allow the drone to not go very high or far at all until you are comfortable with it. It wasn’t very long until I turned it off and I got this drone up to 345 feet up in the air. I recommend getting an SD card when you purchase this drone. You do not want to miss the photo and video opportunity while practicing to use your drone. The drone records the video on the drone so that’s why the video has very little or no clipping to it and it’s so clear. I operate this drone with my iPhone 16 Pro and I have three batteries for the drone so I can fly for extended time with an obvious break to change the battery in 30-40 mins. The picture I took was just a screenshot while the drone is hovering at 273 feet up in the air looking at I 295 in Jacksonville, Florida. The video is recorded midday, so it’s as sunny as it could possibly be and look at that beautiful video. I am absolutely blown away that this is just a $200 drone ain’t no way. I love the controller. The joysticks make it so easy. Keep one thumb on each joystick and your left pointer finger will control the camera tilt. I am 44 years old and I feel like a little kid so excited over this thing. I excited go fly it every time both batteries are finally charged up again. I did buy a third battery for even longer flight time. You just have to come back and change out the battery and you can takeoff again. One thing I’m trying to practice doing is going between trees. It seems scary on video but this drone is super small and I’m flying between two trees 10 feet apart. I highly recommend taking your drone to a big open field to practice maneuvering it around before taking it up to 2 to 300 feet but up there you’re likely to not hit a thing.. at 200 feet. I am higher than the trees, billboards and those really crazy tall lights some cities have along the interstate exits. If you happen to be still reading this, thank you. Another thing that factor in my decision on purchasing this drone was the price. After purchasing my first drone which was less than $100 and I crashed it three times and I didn’t do a thing but try to launch it. I figured I will take a chance and buy a drone that was at least $200 because I figured it might be a better drone and I am right. I think my only one complaint on this drone is the amount of time it gives me the permission to take off. I realized it has to connect to several GPS satellites before it will give you permission to take off and that can take some time depending on your location.

Awesome quality quadcopter for the price, and I was actually blown away with how good the video transmission is, even at a mile out. The video quality is even better than I expected as well. Just wish the video had sound (even though the propellers are probably so loud you couldn't hear anything but that anyways). But for 200 bucks, you can't really beat it. The return to home feature when the controller loses connection, works absolutely perfect. As long as you have your "return to home height" set correctly, you should never have to worry about losing this thing. I plan on buying a dji in the future, and wanted to get something cheaper, but not TOO CHEAP to get some experience with, and this thing is absolutely perfect for that. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Very user friendly interface. The power is enough to still fly with moderate wind, and in sport mode with low wind, this thing goes pretty fast. I'd say around 35-40mph.

UPDATED (thrice): A nice drone, but has a few issues. This is an updated review from details I've learned from owning it. The camera is good, but it is not 4K, which not a bad thing but is a need to know. This did help keep the price down on the LT. It still takes great video and great pictures. I found that the Potensic LT was good but a tad more troublesome to fly than the other drone I owned. The Potensic was slow to grab satellite signals and difficulty in holding on to them. I had a few flights where a loss of satellites caused the drone to just go crazy and crash. Most drones might do this, but the LT seemed to do it more. The camera is used in these drones too, where the Potensic LT seemed to have trouble with shadows also causing stabilization issues. (more on this below in an update) Last the distance the drone can fly from the controller was good. Signals through trees for 2.4Ghz radios can be difficult. But flying in accordance with FAA rules the drone must be in line of sight anyway, so no big deal. Overall, I'd recommend this drone for low cost and excellent flight time. I was getting almost 40 mins of flight with this long lasting drone. If you need long flight, this is a great choice, but you might consider other Potensic drones that have better flight stabilization if the conditions you fly in are more diverse. UPDATE: Potensic reached out to me to try to resolve the problems. They have been extremely helpful, and trying very hard to help me resolve the flight issues I had. UPDATE 2: I've learned that the Potensic LT doesn't have a "Time of Flight" module that most other more expensive drones have. (Google TOF chip if you want to know more.) This chip allows the drones the ability to handle low lighting better to hold positions for more stability while flying. You can fly the LT quite nicely in good sunlight. So, unless you will fly in an open field most of the time, consider getting one of the 3-axis Potensic drones that has a time of flight chip. UPDATE 3: Potensic's support is some of the best I've worked with. They keep trying to help and hats off to them for their efforts. I'm now enjoying my Potensic much more than before. Thanks Potensic!

Fun starter drone. I have crashed into a tree with no damage. Camera is very good. Video is impressive.Highly recommended.

Facile a faire voler, je ne l'ai utilisé que 2 fois et pourtant la prise en main est très facile. Attention, si vous le prenez comme premier drone, pensez bien à la stabilisation horizontale, absente sur ce modèle. Personnellement, j'ai trouvé que sur les plans à déplacement horizontal droite-gauche, l'inclinaison de la caméra me gachait un peu le plaisir. Attention aussi à la taille du smartphone, j'ai dû imprimer un adaptateur pour mon téléphone car il est trop gros. Le plan est sur thingiverse. J'ai profité de la politique de retour Amazon pour prendre le pack à 400€ avec batteries et le drone Atom avec stabilisation 3 axes. Vraiment, je recommande. Petit retour pour Potensic, j'aurais aimé pouvoir visualiser le vol du drone après coup mais c'est un detail.

This was my first drone, after doing lots of research including watching YouTube, this was highly rated. First time flying it was easy, it has an automatic take off feature and the GPS will only allow you to fly outdoors. Easy controls, it self balances. Camera quality is insanely good. I crazy to see how far drone technology has come. Landing at first was sketchy as I used the automatic landing feature which caused a crash and I had to replace 3 propellers with new ones. (Spare propellers are included in the box) My advice is manually land it, bring it close to a hard flat furnace and keep the descend stick down it will then manually land reducing the chances of a crash. The drone has great maneuverability. Battery lasts 30-40 minutes depending on how you’re flying it and wind conditions. I flew this thing in the winter when it’s -25, no issues. The display lets you know if it’s too cold or if the battery is low. Make sure you put the return to home feature at a high altitude so it doesn’t hit any buildings if the drone loses connection and you want it to return to you automatically. Overall 5/5 stars.

Ottimo prodotto

Perfecto para iniciarse en el mundo de los drones. Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra, por el precio otras marcas no ofrecen un producto con esta calidad y características.

Le produit est bien jusqu’au moment où vous perdez le drone à distance … là, les problèmes commencent 1. Le journal de vol est en fichier zippé, impossible de le lire sauf par les développeurs de chez potensic 2. Les fichier sont en .BIN. Impossible à lire Comment se fait il qu’on ne puisse pas retrouver le drone. Pourquoi ne recevons nous pas une géolocalisation lors d’une chute ? J’ai posé la question à Potensic … ils me renvoient au support technique ! En gros chouette produit … c’est ce que tout le monde dit … quand on ne le perd pas Donc volez en le voyant sinon faites attention Ps: la photo représente le journal de vol dézippé… bonne chance pour comprendre
