About the Potensic Atom 3
The Atom 3 is Potensic doing what it did with the Atom 2, but harder: take the spec sheet of a drone twice the price and sell it under £350. The headline items are a 1/1.3-inch 50MP sensor — the same class as the DJI Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro — 4K/60 HDR video, 16km PixSync 5.0 transmission and enormous claimed flight times with the extended battery options.
Potensic's software polish still trails DJI's, and real-world endurance will be shorter than the brochure number, but the fundamentals — sensor size, gimbal, transmission — are genuinely a class above the price. For value hunters this is the current sub-250g benchmark.
