You explain every thing we need to know, without "filler". Thank you

[JTHOMAS]

I would love to take photos on our family road trips!

The video on the left, so I guess that's the Atom, was light years better than the one on the right to my eye.

[Miguel_Flowers]

Those ODD/EVEN comparisons were awesome! The difference is night and day! That giveaway lens would be awesome for when I'm out shooting around town (people, buildings, POI, etc). Thank you.

[shanecourtney]

Hands down, your videos are the best. Wonderful job sharing your knowledge with us. Tremendous help. Thank you!
My videos of the Christmas lights around town were a big hit this past Christmas. Id like to use the anamorphic lens for that

After a little time flying the Fimi mini 3, I really like it with the exception of the remote. I’ve had problems turning it on or off so I don’t even try too take it up if there’s time constraints. Both mini 3 and the Atom film great in low light the Atom does it year round and is very dependable.

[sdeanf]

Love the Drone comparison here! Also the lens would be awesome to shoot my baseball team playing with a lighted baseball at dusk!

[aswinchan]

There is news that "Potensic Atom 2" will be available in February 2025. It is said to be able to do visual tracking and can also take photos up to 8k.

[mcmdrones]

Like registrado, na minha opinião o potensic é bem superior!!!

[ImevergratefulRC]

At 6:15 I’m pretty sure you explained the video quality on certain days with my Gleesfun G11Pro that I thought was it picking up my strobe lights.

[TIMKYLE-xf]

Always give great advise, always appreciated.

[npsmith]

thanks for the vid, trying to gather as much info on these two quads. Sounds like landscapes and large buildings would be nice to photo with this cam accessory.

[tomray]

I would have to do research on how to use the lens.

I really like the fimi mini 3, the low light pictures / videos I've seen look amazing, I'm down in Texas so the cold weather low video performance will be much less of a problem but it will be a while before i can get one. With all of the innovation from competition it will drive DJI, Fimi, Potensic and others to up their game. I'm really new too drones having limited budget, i only have some toy grade ones but i bought a used DJI Mavic Mini off of eBay and waiting for that to get here while i keep practicing with my brushed motor cheapies. Thanks for adding a little humor into some of your videos, it does make them more entertaining.

Thanks for the video! From a blurred picture and ice on water bodies, you can immediately understand that we have a FIMI mini 3. Unfortunately, they have already become famous for their lack of focus and jelly on video at low temperatures. This has become their calling card, unfortunately. As a resident of a northern country, I will have to refuse to buy this drone (for all its undoubted advantages) and will need to pay extra to get all the tezhi functions from its older competitor) Which, of course, is not happy. Maybe FIMI will solve this problem someday.

[ImevergratefulRC]

Thanks for the comparison, I’ve got the Atom and the Fimi should be here tomorrow with. Pretty sure I can see the difference in the video but I’m really hoping I’m wrong at the end. 🤞🏻

[ExploringAndMe]

Even though fimi is the best even against dji its agame breaker it cant fly in colder weather

[MmIlahg]

Id love to try the anamorphic lens during nature walks.

[boxiedog]

The anomorphic lens would be great for landscape shots here in Scotland. Thanks for a great comparison video

[stevenpeck]

I like your side by side review. I don't want the prize. And I was just informed Potensic has a new version of the ATOM, I think this will be the 4th in the ATOM series.

[ewolf]

I actually have both of them! Love using the potensic, though I have not tested the fimi 3 yet! I had to replace my last fimi v.2 because it crashed really hard due to system malfunction so hopefully this one won't have that issue, and the fact fimi and the insurance I put on it didn't cover it due to being an older model. Got the 3 on Black Friday sale. Hopefully this one's better fingers crossed on My next vacation, I will be using both!

And for the anamorphic lens I would love to use it for anything and everything to capture all the moments! Hopefully this will be enough to win!
