The Potensic ATOM SE is a sub-250 g foldable GPS drone delivering 4K video and up to 31 minutes of flight. Its single-axis gimbal and occasional app stability issues prevent it from matching higher-end competitors. Best for travelers and beginners needing a lightweight aerial camera.
The Skyrover S1 Mini offers a 48 MP Sony sensor, 4K 60 fps video, 3-axis gimbal and up to 40 minutes of flight in a sub-250 g, registration-free package.

Perfect for travelers and hobbyists needing long-duration aerial footage.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the ATOM SE for packing a 4K camera, long 31-minute flight time, and robust 4 km signal into a sub-250 g frame, calling it a best-value option that rivals pricier models. However, they note the single-axis gimbal and occasional app stability issues as notable drawbacks compared to 3-axis competitors.
Everyday users consistently praise the drone's portability, high-quality 4K video, and reliable GPS features, especially for travel and social media. Recurring complaints focus on app glitches, slightly shorter real-world flight times, and the limited stabilization of the single-axis gimbal.
Professional reviewers praise the Skyrover S1 for packing a high-resolution Sony sensor, long flight time, and extensive range into a sub-250 g chassis at a budget price, but they warn that its build quality, limited obstacle avoidance, and unproven real-world performance make it less suitable for demanding prosumer tasks compared to DJI's Mini lineup.
Direct consumer reviews were not found in the available data; retailer listings and product descriptions highlight enthusiasm for the drone’s portability, Sony camera quality, and registration‑free status, while the lack of user‑generated feedback leaves real‑world reliability uncertain.
