Design and build 

On the first look, the Potensic D18 is a very small drone, measuring only  2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm, so it’s not bigger than an average mobile phone. But it’s not a bad thing, having a small and portable drone is a great thing. You can always carry it with you and take it out when you need it. However, the drone weighs 299g so you’ll need to register it to the FAA if you don’t want to get e penalty.

Another great thing about this drone is the foldable build, which can make the drone smaller than usual. This also gives an extra layer of security to the drone’s general body system, because there is less chance that the arms will break down. The drone is built with brushless motors, which are great things. A brushless motor has a longer lifetime, they don’t heat up that fast, and are quieter than a brushed motor. 

Controller 

This review isn’t complete without talking about the hardware that will be in your hands most of the time. This is by a wide margin one simplest controller. There aren’t that numerous buttons and switches that make it uncomfortable to use it. This is also a great thing for beginners. This is by a long shot one of the most effortless remote controllers we have seen. The controller has a max range of 100 meters.

As you can see two switches are utilized to guide the drone. The power button is situated in the center that permits you to set up an association with the drone. Lastly, the two buttons in the back are utilized to change the speed setting and to play out a 360-degree aerial flip. Extra highlights are done on the app.

The controller also has a phone holder so you can watch the live camera feed of the drone. Appreciate steering your drone through the eyes of a bird and catch stunning minutes that you can impart to your loved ones. 

Battery 

The drone comes with a Li-Po battery that is situated on the back under that conveys. One battery can prove you as long as 10 minutes of flight time. However, you get an extra battery so in total you’ll have an advertised 20 minutes of flight time. I say advertised because some factors like your flight style and even the weather can influence in a bad way your flight time. The battery is a modular battery so you can easily remove it, and charge it outside the drone. To fully charge your battery it will take around 90 minutes.

Camera 

The Potensic D18 drone comes with a fixed 1080P HD camera. It can only record in 1080p, but for personal purposes is just perfect. Like every other sports camera, this one too has a curved fisheye effect. The recording that you caught utilizing the drone is put away straightforwardly on your cell phone. However, you will have the alternative to store film onto the microSD card to hold its actual goal quality. We prescribe purchasing a 64GB microSD card to go with this drone. Despite the fact that Potensic D18 is an extraordinary beginner quadcopter that will show you the essentials of flight controls.

It accompanies a minor downside: the camera is fixed. Which means you are to expect that the camera will shift as the drone moves. Besides, the camera isn’t mounted on a gimbal stabilizer which will imply the recording will encounter some vibration. For those who are willing to pay 

more for better footage, the SMRC M21 is a great alternative. 

Conclusion

With a 2×10 minutes flight time and a great and simple remote controller with a distance of up to 100 meters. You will get a great drone for the price. The camera also does its job really well. Not to mention the fact that it is equipped with a speed mode which permits a smooth and slow expectation to absorb information to dominate the essentials of flight controls, excellent for beginners. 

The Potensic D18 Foldable Quadcopter can be bought from Amazon.
