- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023Edition: Expansion KitVerified PurchaseAn update to this review concerning Potensic Support. As with any product new to the market I have experienced a few bugs with the Atom SE. The Potensic support team has worked with me on each of these issues and there have been a few firmware updates that greatly improve it's operation. Many of these have been at the suggestion of Atom SE owners. They listen to and welcome our input to improve their product. Most recently the onboard compass has apparently failed and my Atom crashed pretty hard. Support sent instructiions I followed but to no avail. Potensic has apologized for any inconvience and is replacing the drone under warranty. As I said at the end of my initial review the Potensic Support team is quite simply the BEST support staff I have dealt with in over thirty years. They stand behind their products and work with customers to keep us satisfied and flying. Thank you Potensic, you folks are great!!
I received my new Atom SE on Wednesday the weather was very overcast so I was only about to charge and start everything. Location, firmware update and time to fly. I am not easily impressed, but the short version of what I think of this drone, WOW! This drone flies amazingly well for one in this price range. Control inputs are instant, crisp, and very sensitive and took a bit of getting used to. Just basic maneuvers on the first day and it performs all of them extremely well.
The weather finally broke today (Sunday 1/15/22) and it was off to the park to put it through it's paces. Temperature was around 35 degrees F and brisk winds (Ground level 8-16 MPH) at around 80 ft. altitude wind gusted up to 32 MPH. It handles the wind better than I expected, it holds position and is stable except in the strong gusts. Even then it does move maybe 10 ft. when the gust stops it recovers right back to steady hover. Despite the cold and wind the battery life is almost dead on the rated flight time. I got 28 minutes of flying on the first battery with 10% left, the wind had increased a fair bit so the second battery flight time was 24 minutes with 10% left and considering how it fought the wind so well I am very, very pleased with flight time. Was great fun, but with a couple of extra batteries it will be a blast (sorry wallet).
Time to test the autonomous features. First the follow mode and it certainly does so. No matter the direction or number of direction changes it follows and keeps me in the frame. Circle mode is flawless and smooth (as my grampa used to say it's as smooth as the south end of a north bound baby). Waypoint mode again flawless, flies to each point smoothly and turns the corners crisply.
The best part of this little gem is the camera, it is amazing. It will record video at 4K 30FPS, 2.7K 30FPS, 1080P and 270P. The EIS gives you a very smooth video. The photos, well you can almost count the leaves on the trees and the colors are vibrant and sharp. A three axis gimbal and some more camera settings I think would give DJI Mini 2 a run for it's money.
In conclusion I am extremely happy with my Atom SE and highly recommend it especially for those who can't afford the likes of DJI or Autel. This is a very reasonably priced beginner to intermediate drone. I would love to see a three axis gimbal for even smoother and quality videos. Not to mention this is not my first Potensic drone and their support team is heads and shoulders above the norm, they are polite, prompt and most helpful. I give this drone five gold stars!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024Edition: Expansion KitVerified PurchaseThis is my first drone. I had $250 worth of Amazon gift cards that I had collected from Christmas and my 55th birthday and didn't need any golf stuff so i decided to look at drones. After 2 weeks of looking and reading reviews and watching a few videos, I decided to go with the Atom SE. It's a great drone. Very stable. Watch the many Youtube reviews of this drone and they are nothing but positive. I've had the drone for 3 weekends now and have flown it on 3 separate days. I had read the manual and watched a few tutorial videos before I flew it the first time. I flew it behind and over my house a few hundred feet above and beyond the house. It went perfect. Very easy to control and learn. The remote is awesome. I have a Pixel 7 Pro and it fits nice and snug even with a case on it. The batteries last quite a while, about 25 minutes on average. Today was the warmest day (45F) that I've flown it and the first time that the battery was warm enough to let me go into sport mode. Lots of fun flying around at 35 mph. The videos and pictures that I've captured thus far look a little bit better than the ones attached to Amazon reviews.
I did have a close call today. My oldest son and his fiance were visiting and I was showing my son the drone controls while it was hovering about 50 feet off of the ground. My controller started flashing warnings about losing signal and then the drone started doing a death spiral shortly after that. It started moving towards the ground in a spiral fashion and I got control of it with an emergency stop when it was about two feet off the ground. It was then that I remembered the iPhone warnings that I had heard about in the reviews. They say to put iPhones in airplane mode when flying the drone due to interference. My son had his iPhone in his pocket while I was showing him the controls. I had him place it in airplane mode after that and started the drone back up and flew it for about 15 minutes without issue.
Originally I purchased the 2 battery combo package but have since purchased the 3 battery charger with 1 additional battery. It's a great charger, easy to use and, fits nicely in the case. Speaking of the case, it's really nice and fits everything perfectly.
Overall, I think this is a great drone for the money. I have no regrets in purchasing it. My drone weighs in at 248 grams with the battery in it according to my weight watchers scale. If you're in the US don't forget to do your TRUST training. I did mine through the Pilot Institute website and it was very easy to complete.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing flying experience
I am new to drone flying so I wanted a drone that would be as easy to fly as possible. My search brought me to the Potensic and its amazing versality and power, at an affordable price. The customer write-ups were very positive and, of course, it was sold through Amazon with the quality control and price guarantees they offer. So, I bought it. Delivery was swift - it arrived the following day.
Manual and video instructions are on line, and they were a little difficult to access at first, but Potensic Customer Support was great and sorted this out very quickly - a special 'shout out' to Ruby. It did not take me long to "get airborne" and discover how surprisingly easy it is to fly - even indoors. The aircraft is very stable and does not drift, so steering it through doorways was a simple process, although I do confess to getting confused over the in-flight steering, which caused the drone to collide with the wall and damage a couple of the propellers. That was clearly due to my inexperience and over-confidence (it is that good) and not due to problems with the drone itself. So my advice is, reign in your enthusiasm and make sure you read the manual and operating instructions thoroughly. As a first test flight just get used to the control sticks and remember that, depending on the aspect and position of the drone (ie if it is facing you), turning the stick left may actually be wrong, as I found out!
I have flown it outside and am hugely impressed by the quality of the real time images displayed and the straightforward process to record and view the flight subsequently.
Even though weighing under 250 gms, as a drone with a camera it is necessary to register with the CAA as a drone operator, which I did as soon as I received my aircraft. It is inexpensive. As each day passes, I am becoming more adept at flying my Potensic ATOM SE drone and I am hoping to take it with me to fly when I go abroad on holiday. If you plan to do the same, check the regulations applicable in your destination. Within Europe, they are EASA Regs (also available on the internet).
In summary, this is a super little drone, flies incredibly well, is easy to manoeuvre, has 31 minutes flight time per battery, has a very good onboard gimble mounted camera with high resolution recordable images (still and video), a return home feature and is sold at an affordable price. Last, but not least, it comes with a first rate customer support service. So, if you are looking for a compact and reliable drone, this could be the one for you. It was for me.

Maxim W.Reviewed in Germany on July 8, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Tolle Drohne mit hervorragender Qualität und ausgezeichnetem Service!!!
Nach über 14 Monaten Nutzung kann ich mit voller Überzeugung sagen, dass diese Drohne jeden Cent wert ist. Die Qualität ist top, sie fliegt stabil, ist erstaunlich windfest und lässt sich wirklich leicht bedienen. Besonders begeistert bin ich von den vielen praktischen Funktionen, die den Flug nicht nur sicher, sondern auch richtig unterhaltsam machen. Die Bilder und Videos sind gestochen scharf und wirken sehr professionell.
Was mich aber am meisten beeindruckt hat, ist der Kundenservice. Obwohl die Garantie schon seit zwei Monaten abgelaufen war, wurde mir die Drohne völlig unkompliziert ersetzt. So einen Service erlebt man heutzutage selten.
Für mich eine klare Empfehlung – sowohl wegen der Technik als auch wegen dem herausragenden Support!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Prodotto Perfetto e divertente.
Ho atteso un po' di tempo prima di recensire il drone per poterlo provare in maniera approfondita.
Di questo drone: mi piace tutto, la qualità costruttiva, la qualità delle foto e video, la durata della batteria (circa 45 minuti di volo con 2 batterie), la funzionalità e semplicità dell'applicazione.
Il GPS funziona perfettamente, quando il segnale viene perso o la batteria è scarica il drone torna automaticamente alla posizione di decollo.
Anche il radiocomando e fatto bene ed è molto funzionale.
Molto stabile anche con raffiche di vento abbastanza sostenuto.
Importante per volare in modo legale, serve registrarsi D-FLIGHT per gli aggiornamenti sulle mappe di volo e stipulare una polizza assicurativa.
Buonissimo il rapporto qualità-prezzo.
In conclusione ottimo drone, consigliatissimo l'acquisto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un dron muy estable y de calidad
El dron es un aparato estupendo. Viene muy bien protegido en una bolsa acolchada de buena calidad. El modelo comprado es el Potensic Atom SE de 2 baterías. Lamentablemente viene con cable pero no con cargador. El mando está bien construido, es sencillo pero eficiente. Viene con todos los cables necesarios y todo tiene una calidad impecable. Tuve algunas dudas pero tras hablar con el servicio técnico quedó todo resuelto. El vuelo es suave, la estabilización de la cámara impecable, la calidad a 4k también muy buena y fluida. Los controles no dieron ningún problema. El aterrizaje es suave, cuando está a 50cm del suelo baja la velocidad para aterrizar con suavidad aunque seas novato. Aun con algo de aire se comporta estable y las baterías realmente aguantan los 30minutos volando. Un buen dron para alguien que comienza con calidad premium y precio ajustado.
