Size and portability
The drone weighs 249 g and has stated folded dimensions of 30 × 24.48 × 5.79 cm. Its low weight makes it easier to carry on trips, although it is worth checking whether the folded drone will fit in your chosen bag or backpack before you travel.
A weight below 250 g does not automatically exempt a pilot from all requirements. Rules also depend on the drone’s equipment, how it is operated and where it is flown. Before flying, check local requirements, including whether operator registration is needed.
Camera: 48 MP photos and 4K HDR video
The Atom 2 uses a 1/2-inch Sony CMOS sensor with a resolution of 48 megapixels. The high photo resolution gives you room to capture detail and crop images afterwards, although the final quality also depends on the light and shooting conditions.
It can record 4K HDR video at 30 fps. HDR helps capture a wider range of brightness, which can be useful in scenes with a bright sky and darker ground. Thirty frames per second is suitable for everyday aerial footage; the final look also depends on how the footage is shot and processed.
Three-axis mechanical gimbal
A three-axis mechanical gimbal stabilizes the camera by correcting movement around three axes. In flight, it helps reduce the transfer of the drone’s movements to the image for smoother video.
Stabilization can also help with photography, but it does not guarantee sharp images or perfect composition in every situation. Wind, drone movement and available light can all affect the result.
Control, range and navigation
The drone is compatible with Android and iOS, allowing users to operate it and monitor the camera using a smartphone. Its stated maximum control range is 10 km. This is a technical specification, not permission to fly that far: signal conditions and flight rules can limit the usable distance.
The drone uses GNSS satellite navigation, including Galileo and GLONASS, to determine its position. Position data helps it hold its position and return home. Availability and accuracy depend on signal reception, so these functions cannot be relied on without qualification, especially where the signal is weak or subject to interference.
Who is the Atom 2 for?
The combination of low weight, 4K HDR video and mechanical stabilization makes the Atom 2 worth considering for hobby pilots and people who want to create aerial photo and video content.
