Potensic D58 Drone Review
Potensic D58 Drone Review 2019 – is the Potensic D58 quadcopter worth the money? Review of features, pricing, flight duration, battery, camera and more.
The Potensic 58 Drone and camera were recently upgraded, and they now rank among some of the top drones for great flying experiences and smarter camera functions that meet the demands of some of the most demanding commercial users and professional photographers. The upgrade to 5G WiFI transmission increases the control range, and the controller works up to 500 meters. The flight time is 18 minutes, and drone enthusiasts will appreciate the top quality materials and sporty design. This is the first smart drone that features advanced flight features and smart functions to maximize the usefulness of the 1080P HD camera.
The D58 body has a jet-black coating that screams professionalism as it launches into the sky. The craftsmanship is durable, compact and highly functional at all levels – for the professional, beginner, commercial user or hobbyist. The drone resembles some of the top quadcopter brands, such as the DJI Phantom 4, Potensic D85 and the HS700 Ophelia. Although these drones share a general appearance, the D58 has some special features and functions that distinguish it from its competitors. These include user-friendly controls for beginners and special flying tricks for remote pilots.
Camera System
The D58 FPV Drone features a 120° HD camera with a wide-angle lens, and with the 5G WiFi, you can view clear and engaging aerial images in real-time transmissions. A simple button controls moving the camera up or down. GPS-assisted flight allows commercial users to plot precise courses to film videos of breathtaking landscapes, properties for sale and important local events. GPS enables recording your flight trajectory so that you can always find the area you filmed, even if you travel to unfamiliar territories.
The camera system is mounted differently than other drones, and the unique configuration makes it easy to capture stills in any direction or film videos in high resolution with zoom-enabled closeups, panoramic settings and professional level of quality without shakes and blurring. This is a unique and solid technology for a camera drone priced at $159. It’s perfect for neophytes and advanced pilots. The accessibility options allow professional users to customize their drone for their commercial or specialty flying needs.

Flight features include automatic takeoff and landing, Follow Me function, smart lighting features and an adjustable Three Speed Mode that allows you to customize low- medium- and high-speed functions to suit your preferences. In Safe Assured Flight Mode, the drone records its flight trajectory, and if the WiFi signal is lost or the battery runs low, the drone returns home automatically.You can also engage the One Key Return function manually at any time.
The Waypoint Mode and Orbit Mode can provide exceptional flying benefits, such as following a flight path between GPS-set waypoints or hovering in a predefined area to keep the drone nearby or survey your surroundings.
back to menu ↑Performance Review
The drone performs like a champ, fighting beyond his or her weight class. It beats the DJI Spark with a longer flying time and provides a knockout punch to the Eachine E511S, based on overall performance. The 500-meter control range is tops in its class, and the drone brushless motors are engineered to last longer, fly stably and run quietly. The advanced modular battery provides just the right level of power for flawless takeoffs and safe landings.
You can view videos in real-time instead of waiting to download the recordings from the SD card, which allows you to revisit points of interest, re-shoot commercial videos for a better picture or pursue a different take on any subject that isn’t blowing up your skirt with those quadcopter propellers. The camera system is mounted on a 1-axis gimbal, which provides the camera with greater stability, increased shooting angles and compensation for bumpy or turbulent flights. The drone hovers like a hummingbird, which is arguably the bird world’s most accomplished flyer. There is very little shakiness in stills taken from the hovering drone, but professional camera drones still do a better job for commercial users – drones like the DJI Phantom 4 and Mavic 2 Pro.

Design and Engineering
Most people love the look of this sleek drone. It’s a lightweight drone that you can fly subtly without attracting attention unless you want it. In that case ,just do some hovering, flips and aerial acrobatics to draw a crowd. The most unusual feature is the high landing gear, which gives the camera extending range to swivel and tilt. The camera’s positioning allows you to capture more background detail in stills and videos. The camera never touches the ground, which adds a level of protection in addition to increasing the camera’s range.
The D58 drone’s fuselage looks extremely high-tech, and your friends might think it’s a government drone conducting a spy mission. The drone absorbs the sun’s glare, and the black finish makes it easy to spot the drone in daylight. In the dark or dimly-lit flying conditions, the large LEDs help you keep track of the drone.
The brushless motors create a stable and quiet flying experience, but the power is reduced accordingly. The propulsion system still delivers more power and speed than many similar models. You get better control and greater drone maneuverability. The drone reacts instantly when you tell it to turn, hover or return home.

Flight time varies tremendously, depending on speed, wind conditions and other factors. The 7.4V 1120mAh battery usually powers the drone from 16 to 18 minutes, but you will get reduced flight time if you load more cargo or add accessories. If you have to fight severe winds, flight time will be reduced. There’s a holder for a spare battery, so it’s easy to extend your flying time.
You can use the flight controller or your smartphone, which is necessary if you want to use 5G WiFi. You’ve got to make sure that your phone supports 5G technology. The remote allows you to control the drone within a 500-meter range, about 160 feet. However, buildings, dust storms and other environmental conditions could reduce your range to 400 meters, which is the WiFi range, or as low as 300 meters if you just have the controller.
