The A20W is a breeze to fly – its flight characteristics and overall stability are really impressive for such a titchy thing. Potensic A20W Mini Drone review: flight performance Just be sure to download the Potensic app (iOS and Android) first to experience the joys of live-feed video transmission. But on the plus side it means your kid can fly FPV using the screen on a phone to see where he or she is going. It’s a shame the camera is fixed into a forward-facing position and can’t be at least manually tilted downwards like some models. For best results, let go of both joysticks so the drone hovers in one spot and then start the video recording. Just be warned that the camera doesn’t have a gimbal so video footage will pitch and roll as the drone moves around. Now it has to be said that the footage the camera produces is definitely on the low end of the cinematic scale – fuzzy and ill defined like an over-copied You Tube video – but for kids it’ll will do just fine. Topping off this dandy package is a front-mounted WiFi HD camera capable of capturing 480p video and stills. Hence, no matter which way the drone’s front end is pointing, when the child moves the right stick forward, back, left or right, the drone will move in those specific directions and not confusingly veer off on some weird trajectory. As a beginner, your child will quickly come to love the headless mode because they won’t need to think about the drone’s orientation in the air. The controller itself is extremely well equipped and features a cradle for a smart phone, a button for automatic take-off and landing, three flight speeds and a headless mode. Potensic A20W Mini Drone review: hand controllerįor the very low price, this drone is fantastic value not least because it comes with a small but very well designed hand controller and two USB rechargeable batteries. Other cool features include a way-point Flight Route function – simply draw a route on the map on the phone and the drone will follow its path – and a Gravity Induction mode that lets the child steer the drone by tilting the phone. It means the child can concentrate on manoeuvring the drone instead of wrestling with the power stick and trying to steer at the same time. We can’t stress how important this asset is when considering a toy drone. Thankfully, the Potensic A20W is equipped with a barometer to keep the drone on an even altitude plain. The flight may go well for the first few seconds after take off, but from thereon in your child will be battling with the sticks until the drone inevitably smashes into the ceiling before crashing to the floor. Hence, trying to maintain a steady altitude with most toy drones is almost impossible. This is because they don’t have any flight-stabilising barometric pressure sensors on board. The trouble with most cheap indoor drones is that they’re almost impossible to keep in the air.
