There's a lot to like about the Potensic Atom 2 and not just the now-lowered price. Firstly, it weighs just 249g, which means you don't have to register it with any authorities to fly. We also like the features it has, like Automatic take off and landing, Return to Home and Subject tracking, which are all useful features to help flyers achieve the results they want, while aiding them in flight, allowing for a fun experience, especially for those without much prior flight time.
Its camera is a big plus for flyers too. It can take images with a 48MP sensor in up to 8K resolution and it can also capture video in 4K. The video transmission has a range of 6.2 miles, or approximately 10km. It's important to note that while the camera can capture in both RAW and JPEG, it will only capture 8K stills in JPEG format.
The bundle itself includes a fast charging hub, which can support three batteries, which are included, which will allow for a total of 96 minutes of flight time. You also get a controller with a screen and a helpful interface, along with a carry case, for safe transportation. At $399.99, this is the lowest price we've seenfor this combo for this drone.
Key features: Sub 250g, three batteries and fast charging hub, 4K videos and up to 8K photos, content captured in RAW and JPEG format, Return to Home, Auto take off and landing features, 10km/6.2 miles video transmission, excellent build quality
