The media could not be loaded. First off this drone is so much fun. Flying it safe is fun!! This drone is very easy to operate. Take your time. Use the beginners settings. This will allow the drone to not go very high or far at all until you are comfortable with it. It wasn’t very long until I turned it off and I got this drone up to 345 feet up in the air. I recommend getting an SD card when you purchase this drone. You do not want to miss the photo and video opportunity while practicing to use your drone. The drone records the video on the drone so that’s why the video has very little or no clipping to it and it’s so clear. I operate this drone with my iPhone 16 Pro and I have three batteries for the drone so I can fly for extended time with an obvious break to change the battery in 30-40 mins. The picture I took was just a screenshot while the drone is hovering at 273 feet up in the air looking at I 295 in Jacksonville, Florida. The video is recorded midday, so it’s as sunny as it could possibly be and look at that beautiful video. I am absolutely blown away that this is just a $200 drone ain’t no way. I love the controller. The joysticks make it so easy. Keep one thumb on each joystick and your left pointer finger will control the camera tilt. I am 44 years old and I feel like a little kid so excited over this thing. I excited go fly it every time both batteries are finally charged up again. I did buy a third battery for even longer flight time. You just have to come back and change out the battery and you can takeoff again. One thing I’m trying to practice doing is going between trees. It seems scary on video but this drone is super small and I’m flying between two trees 10 feet apart. I highly recommend taking your drone to a big open field to practice maneuvering it around before taking it up to 2 to 300 feet but up there you’re likely to not hit a thing.. at 200 feet. I am higher than the trees, billboards and those really crazy tall lights some cities have along the interstate exits. If you happen to be still reading this, thank you. Another thing that factor in my decision on purchasing this drone was the price. After purchasing my first drone which was less than $100 and I crashed it three times and I didn’t do a thing but try to launch it. I figured I will take a chance and buy a drone that was at least $200 because I figured it might be a better drone and I am right. I think my only one complaint on this drone is the amount of time it gives me the permission to take off. I realized it has to connect to several GPS satellites before it will give you permission to take off and that can take some time depending on your location.

I had an issue with the SD card reader after a minor mishap and I initially was not pleased, but I soon realized that Potensic truly is a premium company that places Customer Satisifaction very high on their priority list! I couldnt be happier with the time they spent ensuring that all was corrected and even offered several solutions, allowing me to choose what I wished (refund, replacement, etc). I opted to have the item replaced and I am currently awaiting arrival of the replacement. I did have opportunity to fly the origninal several times. I never had any issues with the flights or controls. The only issue was with saving photos and vids caused by a freak accident. But the speed, accuracy, battery life, range and controls i found to be ALL be exceptional! I have owned several good brands including MJX, Hubsan, DEERC, and Holy Stone and while they were all decent, this one seems to be superior for sure for the same price range and customer service is superior with NO doubt! Im very much looking forwared to continuing to fly the replacement and im now certain that the original problem was NOT at all common for Potensic: they rectified it very quickly and it was clearly a fluke and NOT at all normal for their products to fail!

I would've rated this 5 stars because it’s fast and fun to fly however its got an altitude problem! I have about 6 years experience with drones now and sometimes when I bring this drone back from flying the altitude is off several feet thus causing the drone to land improperly and not wanting to shut off the motors when Im landing it manually.. this glitch destroyed my first atom lt so I bought another simply because it is fast and fun to fly... so now when I bring it back and the altitude is off, I’ll do the one touch landing and that seems to help, however, when the altitude is reading 10 foot and it’s only 3 foot off the ground, the drone slams the ground hard when it auto lands! That worries me because I’m sure after several landings like that things might start loosening up and damage will start occurring. It really hits hard sometimes. So the other day after my hard landing, I decided to catch the drone as it landed. Wow was that a mistake? I finally got it shut down in the app, but it took a few minutes. Don’t do it!!! I’d say about one and five landings are hitting hard like this, besides that one glitch the drone is easy to connect, I use an iPad mini six, it’s fast, I hit 36 mph twice.. is definitely fun and easy! It connects to GPS quickly and is stable in the air.. a quick tip always calibrate every time even if it doesn’t require you to.. maybe the other atom drones don’t have these same problems, I do not know.. so if you only have to buy one atom lt, it’s definitely worth the money, but since Im on my second atom lt, I wish I would’ve upgraded..
