The new Potensic Atom 2 shows that high-quality drone technology does not have to be expensive or heavy. With a take-off weight of less than 250 grams, the compact camera drone not only meets the requirements of many international drone laws, but also offers surprisingly powerful features for this weight class. It is therefore aimed at users who are looking for professional shots in an easy-to-transport format – whether for content creation, travel videos or ambitious aerial photography.
- 48 megapixel camera with 8K photo resolution and RAW support
- 4K HDR video recording with up to 30 frames per second
- Intelligent flight modes including AI tracking and night recording function
- GNSS support and wind resistance up to level 5
High-resolution camera with a focus on creativity
At the heart of the Potensic Atom 2 is a powerful camera that can take photos with up to 48 megapixels in RAW format. For video recordings, the drone supports 4K with HDR at 30 fps, which ensures detailed and color-intensive recordings. The photo mode also benefits from AI-supported image processing, which provides support in difficult lighting conditions, such as at night or against the light. Thanks to the AI night mode, usable results can also be achieved in low light.
The mechanical 3-axis gimbal ensures stable camera movement and efficiently compensates for movements even in light winds. According to the manufacturer, the wind stability of the Atom 2 is set to level 5, which makes it suitable for use even in moderate weather conditions – a feature that is by no means a given in this weight class.
Autonomous flight functions and user-friendliness
Potensic has integrated a range of intelligent flight functions into the Atom 2, which are otherwise mainly found in premium models. These include modes such as “Follow Me”, “Orbit”, “Dolly Zoom” and “Boomerang”, which enable automated flight maneuvers and create spectacular video effects at the same time. These functions can be conveniently controlled via the associated app, which also offers real-time streaming, manual camera settings and flight route planning.
The combination of AI tracking and GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO support enables precise control and positioning, even in complex environments. A return-to-home function increases safety and ensures that the drone returns automatically if the connection is lost or the battery is low.
Compact design with long range
Despite its lightweight design, the Potensic Atom 2 has a solid flight time. The manufacturer claims up to 32 minutes of flight time per battery charge – a remarkable value that is sufficient for extended recordings. According to the specification, the maximum range is up to six kilometers, depending on the environment and signal strength. The foldable structure ensures that the drone fits easily into any rucksack and is quickly ready for use.
The controls have also been optimized: The supplied remote control offers ergonomic operation with customizable buttons and holder for smartphones. The connection is made via a stable dual-frequency signal, which is designed to minimize interference in urban environments.
Conclusion
The Potensic Atom 2 is a convincing alternative in the ultra-light camera drone segment. With 8K photos, 4K HDR videos, intelligent flight technology and a robust gimbal, it offers technology that can otherwise only be found in significantly more expensive models. The Atom 2 is a particularly interesting option for beginners or travelers with a focus on compact equipment. The Atom 2 is now available on Amazon. It starts at 329.99 euros for the standard kit. The combo costs 449.99 euros.
