The Potensic Atom is a 4K sub-250g drone that you can fly almost anywhere: geni.us/BFtvH. It has a 3-axis gimbal, up to 6km pof range, long battery life and several flight modes you don’t often see on a drone at this price point.
I’ll run through all its features and thoroughly test its capabilities, to see if this might be the right drone for you. Towards the end of the video I’ll discuss how it compares to the similarly priced DJI Mini 4K and the DJI Neo I just reviewed.
