Compare research records

Compare up to two exact configurations. Differences are descriptive, not a ranking.

Research profiles - no hands-on testsEvidence checked July 30, 2026No winner, buying action, or operation clearance

Exact selection

Current systems

Selection order is System A/System B and does not imply merit.

System A

Potensic ATOM 2

Potensic-direct AT2-1B; Standard RC; one battery; not PTD 1 or triple-battery

Evidence checked
Testing state
Research profile - no hands-on test
Dominant hold
AT2-1B is not mapped to APM2530121; no restock is accepted; actual configuration/weight, the controlling FAA DOC revision, FCC evidence, and seller-specific warranty remain unresolved.

Add a second research record

Records are alphabetical and unranked. Each action uses the exact configuration shown.

Configuration warning

Compare only the exact rows shown

Controller, battery, storage, sensor, payload, attachment, software, service, seller, and bundle changes can alter the entire record.

One-record state

System A evidence

Add a second exact record to generate neutral delta states. No delta is inferred from one record.

Exact model and configuration
Potensic ATOM 2; Potensic-direct AT2-1B; Standard RC; one battery; not PTD 1 or triple-battery
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH082-S17
Aircraft
Potensic ATOM 2; manufacturer-direct identifier AT2-1B
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH082-S17
Control
Standard phone-mount remote; PTD 1 is a different configuration
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH082-S17
Battery
One standard battery; triple-battery configurations excluded
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH082-S17
Storage or sensor
Standard weight statement includes microSD; manufacturer-described camera/tracking fields
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH082-S17
Bundle
AT2-1B direct-store row; B&H APM2530121 retained as a separate unmapped listing
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH082-S17
Possible audience fit
Editorial inference, not a recommendation: the standard phone-mount controller, single-battery kit, and compact manufacturer-described configuration may interest a price-conscious first-time pilot or travel creator comparing non-DJI systems.
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH082-S17
U.S. commercial state
temporarily out of stock - The direct AT2-1B row was unavailable and the separate B&H APM2530121 row was temporarily out of stock. A stale expected date is rejected; no current restock, price, warranty, or CTA is accepted.
Record-level source IDs: DH082-S17
Actual takeoff configuration
unknown next source - Physical identifier, standard battery, attachments, actual weight, serial, and radio require verification.
Record-level source IDs: DH081-DOC07
Registration treatment
accepted wording - A qualifying standard configuration may use the limited recreational registration weight exception only when actual takeoff weight and every Section 44809 condition satisfy the rule; register every Part 107 aircraft.
Record-level source IDs: DH081-DOC07
Remote ID and exact FAA identity
accepted wording - The FAA DOC system displays accepted Standard Remote ID declaration RID000002237; confirm physical model/serial, current public revision, registration, and broadcast. hold - The accepted public revision is observed, but later rejected and pending revisions are not characterized; recheck the current record.
Record-level source IDs: DH081-DOC07
Visual-observation and operation context
not applicable with reason - Aircraft research does not determine a flight operation. Pilot, purpose, airspace, location, configuration, registration, Remote ID, waivers, and other operation facts require a separate preflight review.
Record-level source IDs: DH081-DOC07
FCC equipment state
hold - DOC-displayed FCC ID 2BK8B-DSDR23A is not an independently captured current EAS grant; the configuration is not treated as an FCC-defined Toy Drone.
Record-level source IDs: DH081-DOC07
Unverified evidence and next steps
AT2-1B to APM2530121 mapping. Next evidence: Manufacturer part-number map; keep records separate until supplied. Owner: Meri; Vera verifies. FAA DOC revision and FCC state. Next evidence: Current RID000002237 plus official EAS and production evidence. Owner: Reeve + Meri; Vera verifies.
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH081-DOC07, DH082-S17
Record sources
DH081-S24: Potensic ATOM 2 (manufacturer); DH081-DOC07: FAA DOC RID000002237 (official-authority); DH082-S17: Potensic direct AT2-1B listing (retailer)
Record-level source IDs: DH081-S24, DH081-DOC07, DH082-S17
Media state
permission required; typographic identity. Product media is not used.
Record-level source IDs: DH-084 media-rights manifest

Compare supports two exact configurations. Adding this record, exact configuration pending, will not silently remove a current system.
