I just purchased a potensic atom 2 from Amazon. The reviews on YouTube have been very good. So far, I love it.

r/dronespositive5

potensic atom 2 was just 360$ at Costco with 3 batteries, simultaneous charging and plenty of spare pieces, case and strap for the controller.

r/dronespositive2

the Atom 2 was so amazingly steady and surprisingly quiet.

r/dronesneutral2

So with the Potensic Atom 2 you can fly above water?

r/dronesneutral1

Does the Atom 2 have a feature for making 360 degree panoramas? Like you press one button and it takes 24 or however many photos all around it in all directions?

r/dronespositive3

It does now, with the recent firmware update. They also added a cinematic spin. The Atom 2 is amazing...

r/Potensicneutral1

I didnt know atom 2 had the option for larger batteries

r/djinegative1

ATOM 2 is 10 km and tops out at 1080p/30fps

r/djipositive2

I have the atom 2 and it's seriously a great drone.

r/djinegative2

The skyrover s1 is light years in head of that ATOM 2.

r/djineutral1

the Potensic Atom 2 is equipped with a 1/2-inch Sony CMOS sensor that uses a 48MP Quad Bayer (4-in-1) design. This allows the camera to deliver 48MP photos and 4K HDR

r/djipositive1

the Atom 2 has a solid camera.

r/Potensicneutral1

He has a review of the Atom 2 and goes over suggested settings for different conditions.

r/Potensicneutral1

If you get Atom LT batteries, they work fine with the Atom 2 and buy you another 5 or 6 minutes. They do, however, put it over 249 grams if you care.

r/Potensicneutral2

Well, today I bought two Atom 2 batteries at a good price, $50 for both from a friend of a friend who recently wrecked his drone after only 3 weeks - with no insurance. Now I have 5 batteries!!!
