Gift for my son
I bought this as a gift for my son. He absolutely loved it. It was a little tricky for him to use, but he is only 7. Once he got the hang of it, he wouldn’t put it down. Battery life could be a little better though.

Cant get controller to pair
Got this as a Christmas present and I can connect my phone successfully and it Flys, however the handheld remote won’t pair. Everytime I go to turn the controller on the drone automatically shuts off. Reached out to customer service but no response yet.

Great ….
A good product

Remote problem
My remote keeps disconnecting from my drone.UpdateThe Seller contacted me and they are sending me out another drone. Excellent customer service they took care of my problem

– First thing you need to know is that this is a rebrand of the Potensic P5G drone. In fact, after registering for the Fly Cam app, I actually received an email from Potensic. So Tomzon and Potensic basically mean the same thing.- Let’s go over some of the things I like about this drone package: The whole package comes in a nice bag that holds everything together: the drone, remote controller, 2 batteries, extra propellers and propeller guards (which I recommend to put on if you are a first timer). The bag looks nice on the outside too.- The 2nd thing I like about this camera is the weight: It’s only 238 grams with battery! That means you can fly this thing in Canada without the need to Register your drone and you don’t need to get a drone pilot certificate because it’s under 250 grams. It’s considered a microdrone as defined by Transport Canada. Of course you need to still keep other safety guidelines that apply to all drones such as avoiding advertised events, avoiding airports, ceiling limits, etc.- At your first flight, you need to calibrate the drone. Just watch some videos on Youtube about Potensic drones to see how it works. It’s fairly simple to do. Just turn the drone 2 full 360 degree turns, then point it down and turn it sideway another 2 turns. For some reason, I had trouble doing that as I turned the drone and it didn’t allow me to go to the next step. Took me around 10 minutes to complete the calibration when it should take like 10 seconds. Not sure what I did wrong because the problem didn’t occur again.- There are 2 fly modes, GPS and non GPS. I suggest flying with GPS mode as that is how you can access Return to Home and other functions. The drone needs to connect a minimum number of GPS satellites connected in order for it to work. And so in the app, it will show a message letting you know that you can’t fly yet and that’s because it doesn’t connect to enough satellites yet. Just wait a minute or 2 and it should be ready.- Flying is super fun. Easy to control. However, you cannot fly this drone in windy conditions at all. Very hard to control the drone in windy conditions. On a day I measure the wind speed at ground level to be about 11-12 km/hr which means it’s higher gust up and flying the drone up just a few meters higher (about 2 story high) and the wind drifts the drone further and further. I thought I almost lost the drone because Return to Home doesn’t work as it tries to fight with the wind to get back to the original location to land. And so this drone must fly in a very calm condition. I couldn’t find any info about wind resistant capability of this drone and so from my test, I think it’s minimal.- The camera is ok. I like that you can remotely control the camera’s angle by moving the right scroll wheel on the remote. This will move the camera’s position 90 degrees straight down. Footage from the memory card (micro sd type) looks good but the camera angle is very crooked and I don’t know if there is a way to adjust them. By crooked I mean the horizon is slanted very much. The camera does not Image Stabilization, but it has spring abosorbtion shocks between the camera housing and the drone body. But still it shakes during flights.- Overall this is a nicely put together package for beginner drone flying. But the drone that any drone trying to beat for the “under 250 gr” category would be the DJI Mavic mini series. And the drone that came to my mind is the Mini SE that sells for just a little bit more than this drone with better camera quality as well as wind resistance. The only problem is the MiniSE is slowly being discontinued here in Canada and it’s hard to find a Canadian retailer selling what’s left of their inventory. This is a nice drone to fly as a beginner for fun.
