PotensicATOM LT GPS Drone Under 249g, 40 Mins Long Flight, EIS 2.5K Camera, 4KM FPV Transmission, Brushless Motor, Precise Auto Return, SurgeFly, Entry Level Foldable Drone for Adults Beginner, White

This drone is worth every penny. We have the same brand one already with a higher quality camera but this was a gift for a 9 year old. I purchased a different drone for right @ $100 initially and the battery wouldn't hold a charge. This drone you can buy more batteries and a nice little charger! The battery holds a charge exceptionally well and the set up is dummy proof.

Amazing drone! The Potensic ATOM LT exceeded my expectations. It’s lightweight yet powerful, and the GPS functionality makes flying incredibly smooth and precise. I loved the return-to-home feature—it gave me peace of mind when flying longer distances. The camera quality is great for capturing stunning aerial shots, and the intelligent flight modes (like Follow Me and Waypoint) make it super fun and easy to use. Battery life is solid, and the app interface is very user-friendly. Highly recommended!

UPDATED (thrice):A nice drone, but has a few issues. This is an updated review from details I've learned from owning it.The camera is good, but it is not 4K, which not a bad thing but is a need to know. This did help keep the price down on the LT. It still takes great video and great pictures.I found that the Potensic LT was good but a tad more troublesome to fly than the other drone I owned. The Potensic was slow to grab satellite signals and difficulty in holding on to them. I had a few flights where a loss of satellites caused the drone to just go crazy and crash. Most drones might do this, but the LT seemed to do it more. The camera is used in these drones too, where the Potensic LT seemed to have trouble with shadows also causing stabilization issues. (more on this below in an update)Last the distance the drone can fly from the controller was good. Signals through trees for 2.4Ghz radios can be difficult. But flying in accordance with FAA rules the drone must be in line of sight anyway, so no big deal.Overall, I'd recommend this drone for low cost and excellent flight time. I was getting almost 40 mins of flight with this long lasting drone. If you need long flight, this is a great choice, but you might consider other Potensic drones that have better flight stabilization if the conditions you fly in are more diverse.UPDATE: Potensic reached out to me to try to resolve the problems. They have been extremely helpful, and trying very hard to help me resolve the flight issues I had.UPDATE 2: I've learned that the Potensic LT doesn't have a "Time of Flight" module that most other more expensive drones have. (Google TOF chip if you want to know more.) This chip allows the drones the ability to handle low lighting better to hold positions for more stability while flying. You can fly the LT quite nicely in good sunlight. So, unless you will fly in an open field most of the time, consider getting one of the 3-axis Potensic drones that has a time of flight chip.UPDATE 3: Potensic's support is some of the best I've worked with. They keep trying to help and hats off to them for their efforts. I'm now enjoying my Potensic much more than before. Thanks Potensic!

I've tried little cheap stunt drones before and I wouldn't make it 5 feet without crashing it. I was skeptical after reading about it's features with auto take off and auto hover etc.. well I'll say this. You can't ask for much better. After setting it up. Your phone fits very nice in the remote. And unlike others I seen. You don't have to charge the remote or hook up to the phones wi fi. I set it on the ground after reading instructions. Hit take off button and thought. Oh boy this is scary I'm gonna crash it.. And just like that it flew up 2 meters and hovered perfectly still. Wow ok. So I thought alright let's take it up I can't hit anything there. And straight up it went. When you let off the remote it instantly stops where it's at and hovers perfectly. It's very very easy to fly. And if you get confused or sketchy. Just let off and get your bearings. Also the screen shows what direction your going. And also has a small pip screen of a Google map that's right on the money accurate. Including changing the scheme of the map like Google does.So before you take off the thing reads exactly where it took off from. And we first I got freaked out it was too far away and panicked. Although there was no reason to. Either or. I hit the return button.. and I'll be. By itself it came back and landed 1 foot from where it took off. I use this all the time and it works every time. It even comes back if it knows there's not enough battery left to make it back if it goes further. It's great. All this was very helpful while learning to fly it. After about 5 times up. Now I'm buzzing it all over the place no problem. Cause I know it will come back. The set path feature is very cool and the others as well. The camera is unbelievably clear and stable. I took mine up about 4 times to 400 feet and flew about 1/2 -3/4 mile every time plus some messing around on 1 battery charge. I did crash it once. That was all on me. I flew it up the the soffet on the house inspecting a yellow jackets nest. Which was cool seeing the bees attack it. But I hit forward instead of backward and hit the house. Didn't phase it one bit... I know there's much better ones on the market. But for the price I don't think there is. But this one you'll love it. Esp if you were like me and afraid of ruining it before you even knew how to fly it.. buy it. Update.... So I had a problem occur. It was towards evening and I flew the drone. And it became erratic and went somewhere. Lost connection and crashed. Because it disconnected. I was unable to locate it. I was upset to say the least. It went a few days thinking. I said I'm gonna email the company and ask if there's any way to retrieve it? I knew better but at least I tried to ask. They immediately got back to me very fast. Asked me if I could send the flight log. I had no idea what or how. But they easily explained to me and I did so. It was a Friday I sent it to them. Monday morning they emailed me back telling me a new drone and battery are on their way. Something created a glitch nobody is sure of. My fault. Their fault who knows. Either way I had a brand new one at my door within a few days. What more could you ask for? I mean I already assumed it was something I did. And was just checking it we could somehow find it. And now because of a great company I have a brand new drone. And been flying it over and over. Had it out almost a mile the other day with no issues. It will go much further using set point flying. And so far. Every time I hit return home. It lands within 2 feet of where it took off. Very pleased
