How to Connect Potensic Drone to Phone (Step-by-Step Guide)

A Potensic drone, such as the Atom SE, Dreamer 4K, or T25, is decent to start flying with as a beginner. But this may require a little setup, including connecting it to a mobile phone to fly.

How to connect a Potensic drone to a phone?

You must download and install the Potensic-G App or PotensicPro App (depending on your drone) from Google Play or Apple App Store to connect your Potensic drone. You must connect the phone to the remote controller with an OTG cable or via Wi-Fi.

In this article, we’ll share information about connecting a few different Potensic drones to a mobile phone to get a live view and fly the drone safely.

What do you need to connect a Potensic drone to a phone? #

First, you must have a mobile phone, either an Android or iOS (iPhone). 

You can also use iPads or other tablets to connect your Potensic drone and enjoy a larger view when flying your drone, but you cannot attach it to the remote controller.

For the next step, you will need to download and install the required Potensic app.

Please remember that there are several Potensic apps, and you have to choose a specific app to install on your phone, depending on what Potensic drone you have. 

• **The Potensic-G app **can be used with the T18, T25, and T35 drones 
• The PotensicPro app can be used with the Atom SE, Dreamer Mini 4k, Dreamer Pro, and Dreamer 4K drones

Most Potensic drones will use a Wi-Fi connection to connect the phone to the drone, not a cable connection to the remote controller, like with DJI drones.

Why do we need to connect the Potensic Drones to the phone? #

The Potensic remote controllers do not have any integrated screens to display a live image (as with a DJI RC on DJI drones). Therefore, you need a mobile phone to connect to the drone.

Although the Potensic Atom SE requires you to connect the phone with a cable to the remote controller, this comes at an advantage, as the remote controller will not only transmit pilot input to the drone, but it will receive a video link that is displayed on the mobile phone. 

This gives the Atom SE a better transmission range than other Potensic drones, where you must connect the drone directly to the mobile phone for a live image.
