A much needed video comparison. Wish I had this when deciding. I ended up buying the Potensic because based off video comparisons of the ATOM SE and the mini 2, the ATOM still had better and more vibrant looking footage. Thanks for the content.

Thanks I'll add your vote to my comment currently it's 2 votes for the Atom 1 for the dji.

You should be sponsored by Potensic, your videos on their Atom drone influenced my decision to buy one. Thanks for all the useful info! For those wanting to buy one with the 'Fly More' kit, there is currently a £40 discount at the Potensic Ebay shop with a free 64GB micro SD also thrown in. (£330 - January 2024 - UK delivery within 2 days of purchase.👍)

That's a good deal on eBay! I actually emailed Potensic to see if I could borrow one to review on my channel, but they never responded, so I went ahead and bought it myself. My plan was to send it back to Amazon if it wasn't very good, but I was actually blown away with its price to performance.

I bought the potensic atom and i haven't looked back,very happy with potensic 😊

Yes, it's a great drone for the price!

I see more detail in the Sony camera. The DJI color can be fixed easily using Microsoft Clipchamp which is free when using 1080 but it does not do 60fps when I last checked.

Thanks for tip about the colour. Both are good video quality value drones!

I've noticed in this and a couple of other comparisons that the DJI Mini 2 SE tends to set the white balance on the cold side, while the Potensic Atom puts it on the warm side.

Same here, it's my first drone and I love it. Don't see the point of much more expensive drones for beginners unless you are into photography? I nearly got sucked into the expensive DJI. My friend has one and he's scared to break it😂

@RobinDrones

Yes, that is what puts me off a mini 4 pro- breaking it! It looks a lot weaker than the older mini 2 and Atom design. Especially the arms they are long and thin.

Both good quality video Robin especially for the money I personally prefer the DJI SE but the Atom isn’t far behind. I’ve just ordered the Mini 3 a refurbished model from DJI £279 12 months warranty I was contemplating the Atom but the sensor size held me back.I love photography so the Mini 3 now has 48 megapixel same has the 3 pro so that swayed it for me love your videos keep them coming.

Totally shocked at the Atom. Mini 2SE looks to me to have better dynamic range but is it that much better to outweigh the better specs all round on the Atom. Thanks Robin. As you know this is the comparison I’ve been waiting for from you. Other channels have some comparisons but they all seem to take a DJI fan-boy approach. Don’t forget that the Atom has no geo-fencing either. Price and features with comparable video suggests that Potensic have more than just a winner here. Wonder what they’ll do with the next version when they likely increase the sensor size.

@RobinDrones

Yes, I have noticed a lot of channels are dji fan boys, but I can see where they are coming from as Dji makes such good drones! Oh I don't know about Canada, but here in the UK, dji have removed all geo locked area's in the last few days, only airport's are showing up now, and they are just Enhanced warning zones! Even on the runways 🫣 As for the Potensic I think it's a great buy at its current price. Atom 2 pro with a 1 inch sensor that's what I'd like to see 👀 😉

Well done...

Well done. There's a lot of interest in the latest Potensic, really the first real competitive drone they have delivered in the Mini Class. As always you cut to the chase, and don't try to put lipstick on the pig, so to speak. That sounds more insuting than intended! It's a decent drone, if one is okay with trading off some video quality for several more autonomous flight modes. I wouldn't personally, but I can understand the draw. The Geofencing issue is legit, though some use cases are affected more than others. I live 7 miles from a huge international Airport, with a half dozen private General Aviation ones scattered nearby and have never had a single flight prevented over 1231 hours, covered 971 miles and... ready for this? 8,551 flights. Not one flight ever prevented by geofencing. Then again, professional drone pilots don't have choices sometimes. As a recreational pilot, I always do

Here in the UK Dji have recently removed all of the geo locked zones. Airports are now only a Enhanced warning zone! Have they been removed in the states? Shall I add your vote to the best video quality for the dji mini 2 se?

Nice 👍 Potensic make good value drones.

I ordered the Atom - currently £329 on Amazon for the fly more kit. I chose this over the DJI as its almost a £100 cheaper than the DJI, and to me, the video looks a lot more vivid from tbis review alone, so im happy with my choice.

It's a steal at that price £20 more than the dji mini 2 se standard. And we get, 2 extra batteries, battery charging hub, Carry case (which is a great bag) Micro sd card, Waypoints, And visual tracking 😀

Great video mate, really good comparison test. Both look great video quality to be honest, but for me I’d go for the dji , not as bright but I think the detail stands out better 👍

More natural it's dji for me Robin.Sounds bias I know as I've two dji's but that's not the reason as I think the potensic looks a great little drone as well! Had one of the earlier models and for the price at the time it wasn't a bad little starter, this one now though looks a real upgrade on that! Another good vid mate!👌

The DJI mini 2 se for me every time, the Aton seemed to saturated in the colour and it tended to have a sweet spot in the centre of the lens and a little blurry around the edges and the DJI seemed to be a more natural colour and all round better exposure and would imagine it would be easier to tweek in edit if needed. The Atom does look like a great little drone but its just not on par with DJI for me, great review.👍👍👍👍

The Atom has the edge . Just as good if not better than the Mini2 , but for value the Atom in what you get with the fly more pack and at least £100 cheaper . Thanks for this, was planning on getting the DJI but I'll save money and get as good a drone with the Atom .

Hi, I'm after a drone to film slow moving objects close to the ground, do you know which of these would be better for that please, or are they no good at flying slow? Any other recommendations that are a similar budget please? Good videos btw, cheers

Ok thanks

It's almost like the Atom has a warmer filter on the lens. It appears like the videos were taken at different times of the day, with the Atom taken at sunset, and the DJI the middle of the day, with more clouds in the sky. That leads to a question: are there filters available for either of the drones with the different size lenses? Thank you in advance.

@RobinDrones

3 ай бұрын

They were filmed within 10 mins of each other, but the sun and clouds did change within that time. Currently, you can't get filters for the Atom but you can for the dji mini 2 se.

I would, but I don't own a Fimi. They aren't very popular here in the UK

doesn't the DJI have a function that can be shut down by forces other than you and aren't they prohibited or weren't they prohibited due to potential spyware tech?

@RobinDrones

Yes, that is a concern. I noticed that you can download the Potensic app from the playstore/apple store- so I would like to think it's trustworthy. However, the dji app you can't, you have to download the potentialy Dangerous Spyware app as an apk!

Both look good! If only the Mini 2 se had tracking and waypoints...

On the mini 2 se, it is under the battery door, and on the atom, it's behind the battery as there is a nice flat area to stick it 😁 But from now on, I'm going to stick them on the top, so it's on show in my videos. So that new drone pilots know that they should have an operator id on their drone 👍

I mean, it's all about the sensor size, really. However, the potensic image is very good for the low price its £110 cheaper than the mini 2 se for the flymore kit. So it's a good option for beginners. I will keep a tally of the results, so it's 1 nil to the dji so far.

the potensic atom is 4k vs the mini2se only is 2.7k

@RobinDrones

4 ай бұрын

Yes, the Atom has more resolution. However, the mini 2 se surface area of the sensor is almost double! But then the Atom has a faster lens at F2.2 vs F2.8 So they are pretty much on par with one another 🤔

Don't you think if the gimbal on the atom was a little bit more subtle and not just fire down really quickly it would be much easier to make more pro looking video with it

@@RobinDrones sorry I described it incorrectly, I mean the gimbal rolls down very quickly when you are trying to track something, whereas the mini 4 pro gimbal is as slow or fast as you rotate the adjuster lighter or harder I don't know what the mini 2 SE is like, maybe the mini 4 pro has more control with it being pro.
