I'm a total noob... which drone should I pick or what do you think is best?

Refurbished DJI Mini 2 SE: Directly from the manufacturer, refurbished, 1 month return policy, 2 year warranty, free carrying bag and a set of replacement blades. Great deal, if you ask me. ($199-$225 depending on the price)

The Mini 2SE is kind of weak. It only records in 2.7K for no reason.

I just got the Potensic. It’s great as a starter drone. I’ll get a DJI when I get the hang of flying.

I have the Potensic and it’s worth it for the extra batteries. But if you go for the DJI, Sam’s Club in the US has the Mini 4K SE with 2 batteries, filters, and a carrying case for $279 right now.

I have the SE. It’s great, but I upgraded to the Mini 4 Pro because I got hooked on drones. The SE is good, but it only records in 2.7K, while the 4K can match the Pro.

DJI all day. Extra batteries for the Mini are affordable too.

I got the Potensic and it’s been great. Very user-friendly, and I had no issues setting it up. I’m still new to drones.

So the Mini 4 Pro is the best choice?

Make your own.

The Atom looks like a copy of the DJI Mini 4K. I wouldn’t trust anything that’s a replica of another product.

Go for the Avata 2. You’ll love it from day 1.
