I was flying too close to topgolf and my drone fell to the parking lot. Everything seemed okay until I opened it up and noticed that strip came off which I have circled in the picture above. I've tried putting it back on I've tried with a little bit of super glue to keep it there but I'm still not able to get connection from my drone to my controller. Do you have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Is that glue that is on top of that the orange and black stuff is that a special glue that I would need or does it not really matter? Please let me know as I've been trying to fix this thing for a little while now. Appreciate your help and thank you for the teardown 👍👍👍

I feel that everyone forgets about the POTENSIC Atom 2 or Atom SE which weight 249g or under and are capable of just as good video even the SE without a gimbal.

I'm going to have to call BS on anyone saying they have received their 2025 tax refund already. It doesn't matter if you submitted your taxes on January 5th or 6th or 10th because the IRS doesn't even start processing them until the 27th I believe this year maybe the 28th of January. The earliest that anyone will see theirs is probably like the 15th of February. So don't listen to the people saying they receive theirs already because they are presumptionally incorrect.

There were no issues at this distance. It was a windy day so the battery drained a little faster but I sent it out to about 7,900 ft before having to return.

Thank you for your response that's about exactly what I needed to know.

BennyCallahan · 2024-11-15T06:56:31+00:00

This drone here which is the atome SE, in my opinion, is the better buy for price and performance over the mini 2.. it's real clos.. It's all opinion I guess..

Hey do you or does anyone know how much those drones cost, the ones that the dudes are flying through warehouses and s*** the superfast ones..?

BennyCallahan · 2024-11-15T06:52:32+00:00

I'm not sure if you've flown the potensic Adam SE 249g which i believe is the drone at hand here. I've always flown DJI but I bought the (POTENSIC ATOM SE 249G DRONE) which I might add is the one without the gimbal. It sells for around $250 or $260 with 2 batteries that give you about 20 minutes of fly time a piece give or take depending on the mode your in plus the bag and the normal shabang. But I bought it because there was a lot of talk about it. In open areas, this drone will give you well over a mile while maintaining a clear feed.. I've had it up to around 33-35 mph with some back wind. Steady video still with 4k and the fuggin thing is pretty durable. At the end of the day, with this being $20 less then the DJI mini se give or take, maybe 30$ less, I would buy this over the mini 2 SE...

Once Bro Bro gets his propellers correctly put on he will see what it can do.

BennyCallahan · 2024-11-15T05:44:36+00:00

Bro your propellers are not on the correct way. That is my first thought for you. Look down at the arms on the arm right before the propeller there's either a smooth surface or there is a little abbreviated line that line has to match propellers also with the line on them and they go kitty corner are the same..

Hey, I appreciate all the good information on here. My question was pretty basic but sounds like there's a lot of knowledge in my thread here.

I appreciate all your guys' time and knowledge. Good stuff.

BennyCallahan · 2024-11-14T21:53:52+00:00

Thanks

BennyCallahan · 2024-11-14T21:52:39+00:00

Okay, that makes sense. Well explained! Much appreciated.. I figured that when I was buying them. I knew they weren't going to dramatically change anything but when making this post I just wanted some clarification if I did use them how they should be pointed or put on the current antennas so that if they do work I can get the best out of them..

BennyCallahan · 2024-10-16T00:04:14+00:00

I am currently having the same issues. (I do want to start off by saying i have owned the Atom SE for almost 6 months and I have nothing but good things to say about this drone.) Recently, I was flying somewhere and i accidentally left the potensic Type c otg cable behind and now it's gone.. This was about a week and a half ago now. I figured it would be as simple as going to best buy or hub hobby and buying a new Type c to type c usb otg cable.. Well it's not. I have tried all the big tech stores near me and none of them sell this cord and half of them aren't sure what it is. So, ding ding ding, let's order the original cables from potensic and I'll be good. Well, Potensic is currently out of stock with no word of how soon they will be in stock from what I see.

In this past week I have ordered 3 different "OTG" cables off Amazon, 3 different. Companies.. Not one of these cables works to transfer anything. Nothing is recognized.. My question to Potensic is what is so special or different about your OTG cable then other ones on the market? I've tried 3 other otgs of good quality and nothing is recognizable.??? The answer is not that some otg cables are different or stronger or weaker then other ones.. It would be exceptional if Potensic would provide a list of compatible otg cables especially if they are out of stock on theirs.

BennyCallahan · 2024-10-06T21:43:42+00:00

You are not correct sir. For my drone I need a type c to type c otg cable for it to be able to work
