Ordered this here about a month ago. It was significantly delayed and didn't arrive until just before the "refund your money" date. I'm a drone newbie and I flew it once in the house a few days ago... bad idea with the ceiling fan on because it definitely affected flight. I took it outside today and couldn't be happier for the price. It was breezy and the drone was reasonably steady. Again, new to this and was able to launch, turn and fly 100ft up and 100ft out and safely land back on the deck several times. The software is impressive and has a beginner mode. Live video quality was very good. Again, very happy with the purchase at this price.

I have one I've never flown, but I think it's not the SE version. I'll have to check this out because the batteries are expensive. This is a good one to "get my wings" on and have a couple of more new batteries. Can't check from my phone, so replying so I can login from my laptop.

I grabbed the Costco refurb deal yesterday. For $198 before tax, the Atom 2 is a much better drone than the SE, AND the Costco kit comes with a 128GB Lexar microSD card which alone is like $50.

Bought this 3 weeks ago. Really loving it so far. Software is good, hardware is good; the fact it comes with everything and has a really nice case to store it all is awesome. I've done maybe 5 or 6 flights so far. Intuitive and easy to fly, seems like a solid purchase for sub $150.

The only knock is it doesn't have a 3-axis gimbal. If your goal is to make high quality content, you should probably spring for something better to ensure steady camera operation regardless of flightpath or wind. Otherwise, the only other feature this drone doesn't have is obstacle detection, but then you're probably spending 3-4x this cost, so it's no longer apples to apples anyway.

I'm mostly checking my gutters and roof, and taking fun explorative flights. 10/10 would buy again.

From what I have heard, this is a poor implementation of a dji drone. The few reviews I watched made me decide I would rather spend a little more and get a dji drone.

DJI owns the market for sure, but Potensic is considered by most to be in the top 3 for entry level drones.
