TechRadar Drone Roundup Puts DJI on Top, Highlights Potensic Atom 3 as Budget Pick

TechRadar's latest drone roundup says DJI earned every five-star rating since early 2025, with the Mini 5 Pro taking the top spot, while the Potensic Atom 3 offers a lower-cost alternative.

The article, which links to full reviews and lets readers view summaries of each tested model, said DJI is particularly well represented in the roundup. The DJI Mini 5 Pro is described as a compact, beginner-friendly drone with features more commonly found on far pricier models, including what TechRadar called 'class-leading video quality'. The publication said it was no surprise that the model ranks first in its general best drone ranking.

TechRadar also praised the DJI Avata 360, calling it 'wonderfully versatile and surprisingly affordable' and 'the 360 drone to beat'. The article said professional users will struggle to find fault with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. It added that the roundup includes links to each full, in-depth review.

The roundup noted that other drone brands are available. It singled out the Potensic Atom 3 as a strong choice for price-conscious shoppers, saying the compact drone delivers an excellent feature set for a very affordable cost and proves the market is not all about DJI. In the UK, however, TechRadar said the Potensic Atom 3 faces stiff competition from the DJI Lito X1, which it described as fantastic.

TechRadar said the roundup covers models it has put through testing in recent months. It also noted that readers will only be able to see product cards for drones available to buy in their region.
