"Now throw in the Atom 2’s advance AI capabilities, Night Mode (looks amazing, recently filmed a rocket launch at 10pm) and creative shooting modes (dolly zoom, slow motion, quick shots, panoramic, etc) it is amazing for the price."
"insurance options like DJI, and more for <$400"
"I did a months worth of research and chose Potensic over DJI, because I’m not wasting extra money for relatively the same features. ... No obstacle avoidance, no problem, just don’t fly it like an idiot!"

"The Atom 2 has a Sony CMOS Sensor and captures 48MP photos and records 4K HDR videos at 30fps versus the DJI’s 12MP photos and 2.7K videos. ... The Atom’s 3-axis gimbal also offers advanced stabilization for smooth videos and photos."
"I have a Potensic Atom 2 and it’s really great. Especially if you’re looking for a camera drone."

How far is the range is yours , I just bought a sky river X1 my potentic atom 2, which is only $400. It flies almost twice as far
r/dji • Skyrover X1 ->Bro, by Bro buy it potenzic atom two I just bought a sky rover x one and my potenzic atom two flies twice as far
r/dji • Skyrover X1 ->Everyone sticking with DJI, while they're risking being banned by fall in usa, including replacement parts. And potensic atom 2 was just 360$ at Costco with 3 batteries, simultaneous charging and plenty of spare pieces, case and strap for the controller.
r/drones • If you still have doubts on the Potensic Atom 2… ->That's good to hear. Mine will arrive today after 3pm and have already put aside 2hrs for tomorrow to get into it and learn all its controls. One thing I'll say is that I hate all the bashing on it from DJI fanboys. I wanted a drone for a while but never got the chance to do research till recently, and though it would be too expensive to get into. However for what you pay, especially with the costco deal they had till july 11th it was a no brainer for me, even at 400rn its a good deal. As a truck driver I know I'm gonna have a blast taking some footage of some of the cool places I travel to or quirky spots I gotta back into. The AI fallow features is what sold me on it tho, something only a lot more expensive DJI drones have.
r/drones • If you still have doubts on the Potensic Atom 2… ->I'm a (complete) newbie, and cannot speak to DJI at all. But, being worried about the ban (and the pricing) I chose a Potensic Atom 2 for my first drone. I've seen it called a "DJI knockoff" and it doesn't appear to have all the same features as the DJI it's competing with (Mini 4k/Mini 2 SE), but it cost about 25% less for the fly more kit on Amazon. I had it out on the beach on a mildly windy day, and it flew steady as a rock, shot some gorgeous video. Watching it hold position in a mild (5mph?) wind was pretty impressive, it was really active, and you can't see any of it in the video. (Again, I'm probably exposing my ignorance here.)
r/drones • What us the current alternative to DJI? ->POTENSIC Atom2 is backup to my M4P
r/drones • Besides DJI, what's your favorite whole drone manufacturer, complete or kit? ->Potensic atom 2 drones are available on Amazon, it’s a great little drone. Not a DJI but almost as good for the price. I have the Atom 2 and DJI mini 4K, both are great drones.
r/drones • Best way for Americans to get a drone right now ->You can get Autel and Potensic off of aliexpress easily. Just got a Atom 2 and my work ordered an Evo II 640 and they both shipped from US warehouses
r/drones • Best way for Americans to get a drone right now ->I wish that the Atom 2 :could: use gps tracking. The SE had it. It’s a somewhat niche case, but having the drone follow a vehicle is easier with gps tracking. The AI tracking loses it every time a tree gets between you and the camera’s field of view. GPS tracking did fine with that. It’s my only complaint of the Atom 2, which is otherwise superior to the SE. Hopefully it is something that they can add with a firmware update.
r/drones • Besides DJI, what's your favorite whole drone manufacturer, complete or kit? ->The Potensic Atom 2 is a great <250g drone. If you add additional things like prop guards, you’ll need to pass trust but other than that you get a 4k video, 8k photos, an app that rivals DJI, insurance options like DJI, and more for <$400.
r/drones • What are the most relevant commercial drones in 2025? Looking for market insights & user perspectives ->I can vouch for the Atom 2. It’s an amazing drone.
r/drones • DJI mini 3 vs Potensic Atom 2? ->I have the atom 2, it’s been a solid drone with 10/10 customer service. I ended up with the “fly more” bundle basically after the discounts and stuff I was able to get all the accessories. Battery dock is 60w, 20w per battery and charges them simultaneously.
r/drones • DJI mini 3 vs Potensic Atom 2? ->Potensic. Closest “other” brand I’ve used that comes close to DJi. The Atom 2 is actually a pretty good drone
r/drones • Besides DJI, what's your favorite whole drone manufacturer, complete or kit? ->I bought the Atom 2 about a month ago and think it’s fantastic! I’ve had zero issues. I did a months worth of research and chose Potensic over DJI, because I’m not wasting extra money for relatively the same features. No obstacle avoidance, no problem, just don’t fly it like an idiot! Going to get so much hate on here, but who cares! Join the Potensic subreddit!
