Potensic is a manufacturer of drones that has different models of drones adapted to all kinds of needs: For example, they have mini drones for children and adults, full of features and flight functions. They even have the DREAMER 4K drone fly more combo, which comes with a variety of accessories. However, here we are going to do a review of the Potensic P5 with a 2.7K camera. He's got GPS. Some of the disadvantages you might want to know about the P5 with a 2.7K camera include the fixed camera angle (it is not possible to adjust the angle remotely).
Cauteristics and technical details of Potensic P5
Some of the most important considerations when buying a drone are batteries, the construction quality of the drone, remote control and camera. Here we will look at them in more detail:
Design and construction quality
This is not a folding drone, but traveling with it shouldn't be a problem because it comes with a storage/transport bag. This bag has a transport strap on the top, so you can carry it in your hand. You can also pack it in your backpack when you're away.
The weight of this drone is minimal, about 190 g. Therefore, it does not take drone pilot's license to fly it. Also, low weight makes it easy to travel with him.
Camera
This drone is equipped with a 2.7K camera. In times when we all have an obsession with 4K cameras, we sometimes let it pass that, with a 2.7K camera in most situations is more than enough for the needs of the average consumer, not forgetting that 4K video handling entails the need for a very powerful computer. With this camera, you can instantly share content on social networks easily. This is a real 2.7K camera, so you'll have fun taking good aerial shots.
The vertical angle of the camera is also adjustable, but only manually.
Since this is a FPV-enabled quadripoper, you can see what the drone can see on your smartphone once you download the app. The total distance of FPV is 100 meters and, since it supports the 5G frequency, you can watch real-time videos over long distances.
This drone supports an SD card, but the package does not come with one, so you will need to get it separately.
Batteries
The pack contains two 1500 mAh batteries. Each battery will give you 35 real minutes of flight time, perhaps a little more in ideal conditions. These are modular batteries so they are charged out of the quadricopter.
They are easy to remove and insert into the drone and have overload protection, the battery stops charging when it is full.
Since these are smart batteries, the small remote control LEDs will show you how much voltage is left.
Remote Controller
The remote control is also white, has a simple user interface and a minimum weight. There are two joysticks, one for speed and one for trimming/direction.
The foldable remote control opens to the top, which is good because you can blow the drone without too far turning your eyes off the phone.
When operating with the frequency of 5 GHz, the total distance of the remote control is approximately 200 meters, sufficient to make spectacular aerial shots.
Flight functions
One of the most interesting things that this drone has is that it has several very interesting automatic flight functions for its class. These include:
Custom Path
Opens the map interface in the app and then draws a path on the screen of your smartphone. The drone will follow that route when you launch it.
Altitude retention
When you want the drone to move in a place without having to hold the gas down, use the altitude retention function. You can leave your hands free to focus on taking pictures and doing other things.
3D Flips
You can make this drone do stunts in any direction, but first you must fly it at a height of more than 2 meters. Once you activate the 3D spin function, you can use the accelerator lever to make turns in any direction you choose.
"Headless" mode
This is a very interesting feature that usually have higher-end drones. If at some point you get disoriented and don't know where the front and back of the drone is, activating this function you can bring it to where you're simply pulling the steering lever towards you, regardless of where the drone is looking at that moment.
One button for automatic take-off and landing
There's no need to guess which button does what. Simply press the take-off and landing key and the drone will take off or land as needed.
Gravity sensor
With this feature enabled, move your smartphone in any direction and the drone will fly in that direction. If you want to have some fun, you can activate this feature and the 3D flip feature.
3 speed modes
This function is really useful when you are going to use it as an initiation drone. You can.
start flying it in the low speed configuration and then test the medium and fast speeds when you have gained some experience.
