Thanks. I will get some better video from this drone. It gets one more chance. It deserves one more scenic flight

If you were on a boat… which moves, can you hand launch?

Glad to see you're still out here doing your thing!

There is an ISO adjustment which you did not use. The higher the iso number less light is needed to get prober exposure. You were at 100 which requires the most light and is for bright daylight outside Should have adjusted to ISO number

Mine does funny stuff when the elevation like that changes also it always wants to go down lower or higher I think it gets confused on the sea level issue however I've flown it off the top of a parking garage I was worried that it would pick up how far the ground actually was away once it came off and freak out but it did great

But honestly, you won't find many drones at this price point, that are any better than this one, even though I did choose to order its 3 axis next step up, 3 gimbal version. And speaking of getting ripped off, to me, many of these big name, drones are way overpriced. So, by these standards, we are left with either feeling like we must spend 5 hundred dollars or more on a posh, overpriced, upscale drone, or getting nothing.

People want to see a competitor to DJI at a really lower cost.

I didn't buy the DJI mini 2 SE due to the national security concerns regarding the drones.. There's alot of data out there. I really wish I didn't care about that kind of stuff but I do. I know it's a much better camera drone, but I just can't justify the potential danger. Got myself the new ATOM. First time drone flyer and it flys so good. Video and pictures are good, but the dji looks way better, mainly due to that larger sensor I imagine. Pictures and videos definitely are not bad, but not as good as the dji. I bought the fly more bundle, and having 3 batteries with that multiple charger pack is a serious advantage. Can fly for almost an hour and a half. Quick question tho. In order to export the 4k videos from thr ATOM. Do you have to hook up the SD card to your computer, or does downloading the videos from the app transfer the 4k high quality videos?

DJI send you nothing. Potensic is a good second platform with an improved flight system and slowly evolving camera system. They have very little R and D budget, so they have no chance at beating DJI. Potensic is good and improving. I’ve never slammed it. So…

Almost all of these drone cameras are essentially just action cameras so you cant expect decent images unless you're going up to something with a larger sensor like one of the DJI drones with an m43 sensor so wether you have an Atom or a Mini 4 Pro you're using an action camera sensor which will never perform great.

@@DadRandom That's the same with any company, but it's the sensor size which is most important. Consumer drones will usually use a 1/3" Sony sensor so regardless of whether you're using Potensic Atom or a DJI Mini, the quality is very minimal until you get to an m43 which is where you'll see much better quality in terms of resolution and dynamic range etc.

All the reviews and tests I have seen have got far better results for the camera and video on this drone in relatively the same light and weather conditions. Have you got the camera set properly or possibly have interfearance from a nearby device? In all other reports I have seen the potensic atom compared very well to DJI mini se, DJI mini 2 and DJI I mini 3. You can't compare this drone to DJI mini 3 pro or DJI mini 4 pro as they are of a much higher price point.

So clearly the DJI Fanboi in you has made it impossible to see other brands as viable competition. Yet I have DJI Mini 4 and prefer the Atom personally. The main reason is Geofencing. Also half the issues you pointed out have been corrected with updates that came out after your video. So I'd say now they are pretty much on par with each other. Now if you mean the Mini 4 Pro? Yeah I agree they are world's apart. But so is there price. I kinda took this video as (I'm still learning my around this model) so as a result it's not as ideal.
