Buying call

Buy the Atom 3 if you can get one and want strong features for the money: reviewers praised its smooth 4K/60 video, 50MP stills with raw support, a flat log profile for editing, great AI subject tracking, stable flight, a robust build and an excellent screen controller. Skip it if you're in the US, because Potensic doesn't sell it there officially due to FCC rules, which also limits repairs and support. It still has no obstacle avoidance, battery life is shorter than claimed, and low-light performance is poor.
