Potensic Atom review: A fantastic drone for beginners
Dec 19, 2024
4K/30fps, 12MP stills, easy to fly — all in a compact body
Tom's Guide Verdict
Drone photography has become more accessible and these days you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on one of the best drones — like the Potensic Atom. If you want an affordable alternative to the likes of DJI, let me introduce you to this great little 4K drone.
The Atom captures lovely 4K/30fps and 1080P/60fps footage and detailed 12MP stills. With the PotensicPro app on your smartphone, you can fly it via your phone itself or by hooking it up to the included controller — and it’s easy to control too. Compact and lightweight for easy transport, the Atom is great value for money, starting at just $299. But it does have a few flaws, like the absence of obstacle avoidance, lackluster build quality, and a narrow FOV compared to similarly priced drones.
