This might be the answer. - Relatively novice, this is my second drone. I began with a Holy Stone 175 which seemed like a nicely featured package for the price, but I found learning to control it well awkward- crashing a lot. Not disastrously- but rarely landed 'on all fours'. Not something I'm heavy into, but these have become quite a nice "tool" to have if you want to get a bird's eye view of your property, etc. So I began shopping for something with a bit more features and function which would hopefully both provide a better experience and be more user-friendly. In mind, I was mainly thinking about features such as automatic collision avoidance, which I soon found not especially available without a much higher price tag, and rarely found on drones that stay below the weight / size requiring FAA registration, etc. I was already familiar with many of the automatic path / auto-return type functions, but didn't have the ability of auto-hover, which many now have and something you'll find to be a real plus- the drone instantly holding it's location and altitude at any time you're not actively moving the controls. A higher level of wind resistance / compensation also a great feature that not only improves photo/video, it helps to keep you "in control" and not over-compensating in ways that will cause the novice to crash. Nearly all brand drones in this range touted having these functions, and for me the most frustrating aspect was that ALL of their ads barely provided more than a short bulleted list of functions, focusing almost entirely on hyped up videos with no real details that would help you make a good choice. I'd at first been leaning toward purchase of a DJI, which had great reviews until discovering that one thing they failed to disclose without some deeper investigation was that the DJI control was going to hound and pound you with advertising pop-ups in the midst of your fun unless you paid an extra fee to stop them. Who needs annoying ad hype getting in your face while trying to control drone flight? Don't we get enough of that already?! That killed it for me with DJI- no way will I buy and support any product which goes after consumers like that. Probably the biggest factor that entered my final decision to go with the Potensic Atom was it's wired control connection with the smartphone, instead of it's relying on wi-fi link which I'd found to be pretty problematic with my first unit, even in areas where it shouldn't have been a problem. And in my use so far, this has proven to really boost trouble-free connection with the drone, and fast, solid communication with it. The improved connection, and the basic flight stability of the Potensic has meant that now I'm not only flying more often, with further distances and for longer periods, I've done so without even coming close to having a single 'crash', landing both in auto and manually 100% so far. I'm still a little awkward with the controller, in that you really have to learn how to hold these things without accidentally having a finger activate or change a function that you didn't mean to. With this one, today I accidentally pressed the power button and shut off the controller with the drone at 200 feet up and running low on power. Thankfully the auto-hover kept it in place while I powered back on, re-established connection with the drone and safely brought it down. Another great feature of the Potensic is the 3-axis gimbal camera. It provides incredibly steady and clear hi-res video. Long-life batteries offer flight times of as much as 30 minutes before need to return for a fresh battery, and the package that comes with 3 batteries, the soft carrying case and multi-charging accessory means you can put in a lot of time in the air before need to call it a day. A bit more initial cost, but worth it if you can spare the extra at buying time. Overall so far, I'm super-pleased with my purchase of the Potensic Atom (the Atom SE was actually said to be the right choice for the novice/beginner, but it fell short of some features I wanted, and the Atom hasn't been tough to learn in the slightest.) Review: Update - Very happy! - Purchased the Atom 3 axis gimble fly more kit in February 2024. I have only put maybe 2 hours of flight time on this Drone as I have been busy with outdoor projects. Today I had some free time and thought I would get some Drone time in. When I powered on the Drone and entered the Potensic app, there was a Firmware update notice to version 3.4.5. I decided to go ahead with the update since I had a fully charged Batteries and Controller. After the update I noticed my Gimble would not stay in the neutral position and would drift all the way up on its own. So I powered everything off, exited the App and tried again with same issue. I tried calibrating the Gimble but it did not fix the issue. Tried calibrating the remote control and was not able to complete the process because the Gimble control did not respond correctly. Powered off everything again, this time I could complete the remote control calibration but the Gimble still would pan up all the way and would not hold the position set. Ok, I give up and try contacting Potensic support, we will see how good the Customer service is at Potensic. Everything else works like it should, just the Gimble issue. This a deal breaker for me because I bought this for the great reviews and image quality at the price I really hope Potensic will stand behind their product. I will update this review when/if I get a response from Potensic. After working with Potensic I decided this drone may be defective and returned it for a refund and went back to the drawing board to research another sub 249g Drone to purchase. UPDATE - Potensic reached out to me and offered to send me a new drone Kit with single battery to give the Potensic another try. Sure glad theyHorizoe received the new drone today 7/24/2024 and immediately started charging the Battery and Remote control. After a full charge I went thru and loaded the Potensic app, calibrated everything and went out to do some test flying. WOW! The Camera Gimble worked flawlessly, it did not move up or down by itself and the Horizon was dead flat. The video looked great, smooth and seemless. Battery life is very good and charges quickly. I went thru all the preconfigured quick shots, tried the GPS mapping, RTH feature, shot video at 4K 30fps, took pictures and I have to say this Drone really performs extremely well for the price paid. I am extremely glad Potensic reached out to me and asked me to give them another chance. So in conclusion, I would like to give a much deserved shout out to Potensic customer service for making EVERY EFFORT to add another happy customer to the ever expanding number of people who are flying Potensic Atom Drones, and thank you for not giving up on me! I would recommend this Atom Drone to family and friends and to anyone who is looking for a really fun quality Drone to fly! ## Features - ใ€๐‘๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐’๐ญ๐ž๐š๐๐ฒ ๐Ÿ’๐Š ๐Ÿ‘-๐€๐ฑ๐ข๐ฌ ๐†๐ข๐ฆ๐›๐š๐ฅใ€‘Equipped with ๐’๐Ž๐๐˜ ๐‚๐Œ๐Ž๐’ ๐’๐ž๐ง๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ and a ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Œ๐ camera capable of recording ๐Ÿ’๐Š/๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐ฉ๐ฌ video, the ATOM drone with camera for adults 4k delivers respectable aerial image and video quality.

This performs just as well as the more well known brands at a serious discount. The GPS features, camera modes, and inbuilt stabilization actually make this much easier to fly than those less expensive drones. The drone itself is very quick, and captures stabilized video in fantastic quality. That fantastic quality is topped off by being controlled by an onboard gimble, meaning you can look at things from all sorts of angles, point it almost straight down to check out your roof, or up high to get some fantastic cinematic shots. Though I'm kind of loathe to say this, I dropped this drone the very second I unpackaged it and it shrugged off the hit like I had done nothing to it. I'm used to such accidents snapping props and all sorts of chaos on less expensive drones, but this guy right here is very, very durable. While I think the 6KM range is a bit of a stretch, this drone does have a long range, and it's very easy to accidentally go beyond visual range because you typically get rock solid video from the unit. The included soft case is fantastic for bringing your drone wherever you want; typically I stash it in my car where it's basically invisible. This was my first "Serious" drone, and honestly, it's so much easier to fly than those cheaper ones. The best way to describe the difference is that one cheaper drones, the vertical controls control the speed of your props, and the height will be variable depending on external factors. For drones of this class, the vertical controls set your height, and the onboard computer takes care of the variable factors for you. I liked flying drones before, but now I LOVE flying. What you get for the price in this set is fantastic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Potensic ATOM 3-Axis Gimbal 4K GPS Drone, Under 249g, 96 Mins Flight, Max 6KM Transmission, Visual Tracking, 4K/30FPS QuickShots, Lightweight for Adults and Beginners, Fly More Combo - Potensic 1 Set of Original Propellers for ATOM Only - SanDisk 128GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 190MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, 5K, A2, Micro SD Card - SDSQXAA-128G-GN6MA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/569175714-atom-4k-gps-drone-3-axis-gimbal-96-mins-flight](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/569175714-atom-4k-gps-drone-3-axis-gimbal-96-mins-flight) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
