Potensic ATOM LT GPS Drone Under 249g, 2 Batteries 80 Mins, EIS 2.5K Camera, 4KM FPV Transmission, Brushless Motor, Auto Return, SurgeFly, Entry Level Foldable Drone for Adults Beginner, Expansion Kit

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.

only had it up and running for a few hours,,had to turn beginner mode off or else it only goes a limited distance. seems to fly pretty easily. my first time flying one and it didn't seem very hard. i have alot of trees around so i just went up high and followed roads around my area. she really goes and it gets a little scary when you can't see it. but you have the camera to watch and as long as you know your area, you should be fine. i'm gonna have to get a fast charger, as on my phone charger cable, which is way better than store bought ones, it still takes like an 1 hour 45 min. to charge a battery. love this thing, guess i'll let you know more after i have had it awhile.

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!

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.

Title: Promising Features, But Controller Issues and contacted by customer service that is anything short of impressive in todays age. Was very impressed by the dedication and service to the customer by this company. Will buy my next drone from this company in the future! Review: I purchased the Potensic ATOM LT GPS Drone, hoping for a great entry-level drone experience. The compact size and features like the 2.5K camera, 4KM FPV transmission, and 80-minute flight time (with 2 batteries) were appealing. However, I couldn’t get the controller to work properly, which made it impossible to fly the drone. Pros: Excellent and responsive customer service. Lightweight and under 249g, so no FAA registration is needed. Foldable and portable design. Comes with useful features like Auto Return and GPS positioning for safe operation. Expansion kit included and long battery life with 2 batteries. Cons: Had some difficulty with controller connecting properly but customer service was excellent in helping to solve issues and shipped a new drone immediately, and proved that customer service is alive and well! Very impressed with the service and commitment to the customer. While the drone's specs are impressive for an entry-level model, It is an excellent drone and functions well! Rating: (5/5) due to prompt and excellent customer service.

I've tried little cheap stunt drones before and I wouldn't make it 5 feet without crashing it. I was skeptical after reading about it's features with auto take off and auto hover etc.. well I'll say this. You can't ask for much better. After setting it up. Your phone fits very nice in the remote. And unlike others I seen. You don't have to charge the remote or hook up to the phones wi fi. I set it on the ground after reading instructions. Hit take off button and thought. Oh boy this is scary I'm gonna crash it.. And just like that it flew up 2 meters and hovered perfectly still. Wow ok. So I thought alright let's take it up I can't hit anything there. And straight up it went. When you let off the remote it instantly stops where it's at and hovers perfectly. It's very very easy to fly. And if you get confused or sketchy. Just let off and get your bearings. Also the screen shows what direction your going. And also has a small pip screen of a Google map that's right on the money accurate. Including changing the scheme of the map like Google does. So before you take off the thing reads exactly where it took off from. And we first I got freaked out it was too far away and panicked. Although there was no reason to. Either or. I hit the return button.. and I'll be. By itself it came back and landed 1 foot from where it took off. I use this all the time and it works every time. It even comes back if it knows there's not enough battery left to make it back if it goes further. It's great. All this was very helpful while learning to fly it. After about 5 times up. Now I'm buzzing it all over the place no problem. Cause I know it will come back. The set path feature is very cool and the others as well. The camera is unbelievably clear and stable. I took mine up about 4 times to 400 feet and flew about 1/2 -3/4 mile every time plus some messing around on 1 battery charge. I did crash it once. That was all on me. I flew it up the the soffet on the house inspecting a yellow jackets nest. Which was cool seeing the bees attack it. But I hit forward instead of backward and hit the house. Didn't phase it one bit... I know there's much better ones on the market. But for the price I don't think there is. But this one you'll love it. Esp if you were like me and afraid of ruining it before you even knew how to fly it.. buy it. Update.... So I had a problem occur. It was towards evening and I flew the drone. And it became erratic and went somewhere. Lost connection and crashed. Because it disconnected. I was unable to locate it. I was upset to say the least. It went a few days thinking. I said I'm gonna email the company and ask if there's any way to retrieve it? I knew better but at least I tried to ask. They immediately got back to me very fast. Asked me if I could send the flight log. I had no idea what or how. But they easily explained to me and I did so. It was a Friday I sent it to them. Monday morning they emailed me back telling me a new drone and battery are on their way. Something created a glitch nobody is sure of. My fault. Their fault who knows. Either way I had a brand new one at my door within a few days. What more could you ask for? I mean I already assumed it was something I did. And was just checking it we could somehow find it. And now because of a great company I have a brand new drone. And been flying it over and over. Had it out almost a mile the other day with no issues. It will go much further using set point flying. And so far. Every time I hit return home. It lands within 2 feet of where it took off. Very pleased

Very surprised. Great flight time. Light weight. And easy to store for travel. It can fly just a little over 1 block away. It balances impressively well in the wind. Its features make it easy to use, has great range for what it is, and is built pretty well. This is the best budget drone I've had. Im not disappointed at all.

Everything is awesome and I love all the features. The only thing that was a let down. It did not come with a bag and the camera does not have protection. I would think they would include these two things. Long flight time. Each battery gives you 40 minutes on each battery, that is 80 minutes.

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.

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

Update: Eine neue Drohne wurde nach Prüfung der ersten Drohne zügig versendet und geliefert. Die neue Drohne kam ebenso gut verpackt wie die erste bei mir an. Vorab bemerkt: Diese Drohne ist nicht zu vergleichen mit Drohnen der minderen Preisklasse unter 100€. Die App funktioniert problemlos und unterstützt auch Anfänger bei allen Belangen der Einrichtung und des Drohnenflugs. Die Steuerung im Allgemeinen ist intuitiv und angenehm. Auch die verschiedenen Modi für u.a. Anfänger bieten viele Optionen zur Sicherheit der Drohne. Die ersten Probeflüge verliefen zu meiner vollen Zufriedenheit. Die Drohne startete wie erwartet und stand wirklich gut in der Luft. Trotz windigen Verhältnissen war die Drohne gut steuerbar. Es gab auch keine Anzeichen für Verbindungsfehler oder ähnliches. Getestete Entfernung nahe Wohngebiet bis 500m. Weitere Flüge und Test werden folgen und ggf. Update gegeben. Potensic verspricht ja einiges mehr an Reichweite. Mir ist bewusst, dass diese Angabe nur mit optimalen Bedingungen realisierbar ist. Potensic bietet aus meiner Sicht eine Preiswerte Alternative zu führenden Herstellern. Sicher gibt es hier einige Abstriche in Punkto Videoqualität. Die Drohne macht gute Aufnahmen im unteren HD-Bereich bis 2,5K. Leider reagiert sie stark auf Bewegung. Das könnte per Software sicher gelöst werden. Gimbal könnte auch noch etwas reifen. Siehe Videoinfos weiter unten und die angehängte Sample-Aufnahme bei normalem Tageslicht (Direkte Sonne). Wer jedoch hochwertige Videoaufnahmen benötigt, muss wohl etwas mehr Geld ausgeben. Für den Privat- und Hobbysektor ist das aber eine sehr zu empfehlende Drohne.

Zum Produkt: Drohne war ein Weihnachtsgeschenk und lag dementsprechend eine Weile im Schrank.

Lieferung/Verpackung: Schnell wie immer, sicher und gut verpackt.

バッテリーはビデオを撮りながらだと３０分位です。性能は金額考えても良かったです。余計な装備が無い分安いし安定性とGPSで確実に大体数十センチ以内に飛び立った場所に戻って来ます。大容量バッテリーを作って欲しいです。もう１つバッテリーを購入しました。飛距離をもっと伸ばしてください…それと５０分飛ぶバッテリーを作ってください買います。
