Good but needs ability to turn off GPS position hold
I have owned several Potensic Atom drones and they are excellent for the price. The app has lacked a key feature from the very start, though, and that is the ability to completely disable GPS position hold. This makes flying indoors extremely risky, at best. GPS positioning only partially works in a typical home or small building. That is, you'll likely get a position lock after a while, but the exact position inside the building will rarely be precise. Instead, the reported position will seem to move around inside the building as the signals from the GPS satellites bounce around. GPS systems calculate positions based on the exact arrival times of signals from their satellites in orbit, so even the smallest delay from a reflection off a metal window frame or refrigerator door will cause errors. Since the app won't allow you to "turn off" GPS position hold, the result is a seemingly normal indoor flight until the moment GPS gets a lock. Once the light turns green on the back of the drone, your friendly Atom drone appears to lose its mind as it tries to follow the wandering position reported by GPS. Maybe the Potensic developers didn't notice this behaviour in their steel-and-glass office building in Shenzhen, but anyone who tries to fly in a home or small building will experience a crash because of this problem sooner or later. The solution is simple: give us a setting in the app that allows GPS data to be excluded from the position hold algorithm.

Perfect Travel Companion for aerial memories 🌊🏌️
Took my potensic atom se on a beach trip, super portable and easy to use. The app worked perfect and the drone captured amazing footage even at low light. The follow mode was a game changer for the golf trip after. I personally prefer a smoother video so 1080p at 60hz is where I left it at. Overall super happy with my drone!

Can no longer connect to drone/network
Was a great drone, super flight not bad for almost $300…but can no longer connect to drone network Wi-Fi or drone…literally no help from Potensic as they no longer support.
