Potensic A20W Mini Drone with 720P Camera

The media could not be loaded.  Bought the Potensic A20W Drone for my 8yr old grandson. I paid the extra $15 to get this camera version over the non camera version A20 drone. I did not need the camera, but had read many reviews claiming the remote control was superior in the A20W. This drone is super stable and very easy to fly. My grandson is able to fly it indoors with little concern for damage to lamps or picture frames etc. It is very small but perfect for indoors. I have included a video from the drones camera for your viewing pleasure. While the video quality is what you might expect, it does illustrate the stability of this very small drone. 10 out of 10 would buy again.Dennis

I thought it would be helpful to get a mini-drone that I could fly indoors to get muscle-memory in using the controls on a larger drone.I was familiar with the Potensic name, so that was the mini-drone that I bought.Unfortunately, it had a problem with a flight-control deviance.I contacted Potensic Customer Service, and they were very responsive, and are sending me a new drone.I would not hesitate to purchase another Potensic drone.

So, I bought this tiny mini-drone.Comes with an nice little booklet support several languages, including English.But who wants to read that?So, I found a video online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgfgEUNhYv4and I viewed it.Good thing too!This drone comes with:3 batteries (1 already installed and somewhat charged) and 2 extra ones1 USB charger4 spare propellersa screw (to lock the remote's battery door)a screw driver useful for the remotethe bookletthe remote (which allows you to hold a phone to use as a viewerand of course, the drone pretty much ready to use.From the video, I learned the basics on the drone, including how to change it's battery.I have man hands.I found that a pair of tweezers works wonders to disconnect the battery, else, well, let's just say that all of this is so damn small.This drone is like less than 1 ounce.But it's sturdy, it's design to fly indoors, I wouldn't use it outside, especially if there is wind.The remote is rather pretty slick, the controls are like joysticks and they actually work well, pretty smooth.The left joystick is for rotating the drone as well as controlling it's vertical axis (height)The right joystick is to move the drone in a direction (left, right, up, down)Since you can 'rotate' the drone with the left, the other joystick will be aiming according to the direction you rotated, so keep that in mind.Anyways, nifty little gadget, master it and you will want much more.I've not yet tested the hookup to its camera/phone, the video does cover this in details.I would suggest you start by mastering the drone first without relying on camera, then move on to the next step.Range wise, it's doesn't go far, the device will warn you when you are going out of range.My only issue.. battery life of 5 minutes.. mmmmm.. wish it was twice as much.. Oh well, maybe they will eventually create stronger batteries for this model.. Never know! :)Have fun!!

Hard to maneuver & using phone & app is complicated.

This drone is super easy to use, responsive to controls, and very quiet. It also easily connects to a phone via the Protensic app and takes pictures and videos. The quality of the pictures is low, but the fun factor for the kids makes up for it.The batteries last 6 minutes, but with two additional that it came with we get about 15 minutes of flight time.Kids love it.

Easy to fly for all ages.

This was my mistake but I did not see that it said mini. When it arrived it was smaller than mini it was so tiny I knew my kid would not like it. Even for a mini drone it was Itty bitty. I would not recommend this for any kids older than 4 or 5 if that

Easy to learn.
