Potensic Atom Intelligent Flight Modes QuickShots & Tracking Full Flight Test

Published 2023-12-07
*Note: this video was recorded before the most recent firmware update and other problems that I have experienced with the Atom drone.* The Potensic Atom is a full featured sub-250g 4K camera drone. It's priced very competitively and comes with many advanced features including QuickShots and tracking. I explore those features in this video.

    I must say this drone is one of the better non-DJI drones. Not bad, not bad at all. Thanks for sharing, Marcus!
  • @CyberSkunk90
    They are releasing an update tomorrow adding a countdown timer for the still camera.... I asked customer service if the drone has that feature, they said no... Then they contacted me two days later and said, because you brought this up, we will be incorporating this into our next update.. So that's pretty neat that the company is adding a feature for everyone just because I asked about it haha. You're all welcome I guess lll
  • Infact looking at this little guy he did very much well. The only issues they have is the horizon tilt and the tracking mode. The camera out put is excellent. They look alike to fimi X8 mini the difference is the fly app. Welbeck here. My regards to the Idaho community. Stay blessed.❤❤🎉
  • I'm a beginner and just got the Atom SE. So much to learn!This video was very helpful. Thank you!
  • Nice informative videos Marcus. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
  • @HikeFly22
    The video quality looks really good
  • @queirozdrone
    Hello Marcus thanks for your tips, i bought one and I'm waiting for it, this will be my second one, i have a kf106 Max , watching you from Rio de Janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷🙏🙌
  • @MrRaymond1021
    Way point at the river canyon would be cool to see. Thanks for sharing Marcus. 😁😁😁
  • @BlairAir
    Saved up for a rainy day video! I love the Idaho Quadcopter Time Machine. Somehow I don't think the Atom is gonna get to 88 mph! It does a lot for the money, but Potensic would do well to get the basics down. Signal. Horizon. You know... the IMPORTANT stuff!
  • @benmiller6500
    Super Video 👍🏻 danke dafür und Grüße aus Deutschland
  • Hi Marcus! I am new at the drone world.. Have flown cheap drones in the past and I picked up a few good ones (cfly mini for $149 and Fimi x8 v2 for $249) for me and my kids for Christmas. Your detailed reviews are fantastic. While I am very cautious and will be checking FAA... there are a lot of problems with geofencing from the DJI drone in my area. Now you have me considering a return on the Fimi for the Atom. A comparison of the 2 at this similar price range would be fantastic! Thanks again!
  • @RonaldBrown59
    The Atom has a nice selection of quickshots modes, and they seem to work fairly well. But I wish they would focus more on the basics, such as better signal, more dependable connection and maintaining a strait horizon. Once all those things work 99% of the time, than turn your focus to the advanced features. Great demo and tutorial, thanks for sharing.
  • @JWNRW59
    Waypoints is the most interesting feature to me. This seems to be the new budget drone of choice - “humble-looking” camera notwithstanding 😉. They also seem to be getting firmware updates out in a very regular basis as well. One might even say frequent.
  • @mast3rbug
    Did you know that you can move yourself while making all the features? The drone will still do a spiral for example and follow you. Don't remember if it works on all features...
  • @DroneViewsMedia
    Potensic have the potential to be a player in the hobby grade if they improve on this model, it's not that bad. 👍
  • @Sparroh
    Since the drone doesn’t allow the app to manipulate high res video, what pc software do you use to make cool videos?
  • @padrepinball
    hello can you record video or take pictures in follow me /tracking/waypoints mode?
