Potensic Atom SE Drone (FlyMore Combo) Review

Over the last few years, mini drones have become more popular. Most of them, including the Potensic Atom SE mini drone that we will review here, weigh less than 250 grams. This means you don’t have to register it with the FAA before you can fly it.

The Potensic Atom SE drone is not exactly the DJI Mini SE quadcopter, which we reviewed earlier. But it does give advanced and beginner pilots a thrilling flight experience.

The camera, with a Sony sensor is decent, the flight time is excellent and for the price … Many drone enthusiasts agree that this is the real deal, coming real close to the DJI Mini SE.

While this seems like a superb adult beginner drone, it still has some issues, reported several times over, so it is not an isolated case.

The controls are too sensitive such that it is very easy to overshoot your target. If you touch a joystick accidently, the drone can dive, fly away fast.

You will also need a fast SD card to store your footage in high resolution. If you have a slow SD card, the video recording will fail.
